Highlight(s): Austin stayed at Panorama last night, and I saw him briefly this am while dropping off the garage lights I had shipped to Matson. He reported back later that he'd gotten negative test results for Covid, so now he's just waiting for his roommates to get over theirs and expects to be back there in a week. I'm hoping the kids and I can visit for dinner, but I won't go without Jen, and I resent that it would be an issue for him, as it's all about taking sides in a one-sided story. I got back, walked Scottie with Jen, enjoyed some excellent Blue Bottle coffee with cream, and dove headfirst into the workday. Lucky took fish food from Tommy's room and ate 1/2 of it. That damned dog only cares about if he's caught. I seasoned and sealed the Sirloin Cap, and sous vide it for our dinner. I failed at getting my allocated "focus time," and that's my fault for not forcing it. I'll prioritize at least 3-4 times a week. That's my goal, which allows me some room for unexpected situations. However, I have started something I want to finish by tomorrow. I dropped Lauren at work and took my mom to Costco to get Jen's card and some stuff we needed. We stayed and visited for a little while.
Accomplishment(s): It was a perfect and well-engaged workday, so I accomplished yesterday's "Goal." The Sous Vide came out perfectly cooked; however, this particular cut is known for being tough, and I also over seasoned it with liquid smoke – lesson learned.
Gratitude: Bittersweet memories returning of my kid's youth on my morning walk around Panorama with Lauren and the neighbor's dogs. Time does pass so quickly. It's likely every parent's lament to want to do it over knowing what they know now.
Goal(s): Complete my post for tomorrow.
