Highlight(s): Massively aggressively active and productive day. It's hard to recall but I'll try and keep it brief and focus on highlights – Freezing morning, AM dog walk was miserable. Gloves I bought suck. Initiated returns. Went to Pano to walk Abby and Lucy. Took Lauren to SRC to see Linda. They've had another 2 positive covid tests and are restricting access but we were allowed in based on Linda's condition and status. We were brief, she was quiet and pretty much the same. We took the ornaments off the tree we brought for her and showed them too her as we did. I'm likely going to take the tree (living) to Pano and plant it later this week. We returned to Jen working on the book sorting. She found a couple of valuable items including a 1st edition of Orwell's 1984, and the leather bound short story Marissa wrote for me decades ago. I used the pilot to shuttle two sets of shallow shelves to Matson and found a snake skill on one of them. I completed the task of getting Tommy's scuba and hockey gear all set into dry spaces along the side while the garage/storage now has the necessary space to make moving things to Panorama easier. Lauren and Jen got all the inside Christmas decor and all the ancillary items we collected into a few bins that I took to Panorama to store in the rafters for next year. We took down and tossed the exterior lights because we're going to get something different next year. While going through the outside bin at Panorama that now houses Tommy's hockey gear at Matson, I found my childhood baseball glove in the very bottom of it. It's a treasured artifact of my childhood going back to maybe 8-9 years old. My name's still visible on it. I'm so happy to have it again. Coming home after dropping Lauren I encountered the guy that collects recycling and gave him ours. He's a good guy doing what he can to make ends meet and I support that and enjoy setting aside our recycling for him to take. Around 3pm I just crashed. I've not been feeling too well, having some issues, suspect it's a bug, know it's not covid from today's testing. Oh, while driving home to start taking down the decorations Lauren suggested we put on Christmas music one last time, at the exact moment I was thinking the same thing. These things happen frequently between us. I don't think it's telepathy but just great minds thinking alike, and it does happen often enough to note.
Gratitude: Seeing my breath on a cold morning still brings me a childlike thrill.
Goal(s): Start my daily "focus time" in the late afternoon where I will be setting aside the time I need to be more productive on some personal goals.
Anticipation: Taking tomorrow off to deal with Panorama Attic, Electrical and Books pickup.
