The Resurrection of "Blue Bear"

Highlight(s): Took today off to manage Panorama tasks. Mark picked up the next set of books – 13 boxes worth. Attic Pro came and quoted the attic work – the guy was sales-scripted and pressed me to sign, which always rubs me the wrong way. Rob came and fixed the front light switches and garage door power issues, and it's all working as expected again. Austin asked if he could stay while roommates get through Covid, and I said yes. Jen and Lauren got the master bedroom set up for him. Kathy and I talked, and she's going to put me in the #2 position in the trust, so when she's done all she needs to manage Linda's circumstances, she can surrender to me, and I'll carry on regarding the kid's needs in the future. That will work well for all. Lauren seemed genuinely OK with the process of going through stuff at Panorama, about which I was very relieved. She and Jennifer work together so naturally. It always touches me. Tommy got his clownfish and coral into his tank, and they are soothing to watch.
Accomplishment(s): Lauren and Jen got through the rest of the books, then the bathrooms. They also went through the closet and pulled out all of the kids' T-shirts, which were supposed to be made into quilts. Jen will now coordinate that getting done. I put some initial time into my late-afternoon time slot to focus on writing and have something already started later this week.
Gratitude: The orange cloud-covered sunrise that we enjoyed over coffee and our morning walk was stunning.
Goal(s): Aggressively focus entirely on work all day tomorrow from 8-4.
Anticipation: Sous Vide Beef Sirloin Cap for dinner tomorrow.
