Uvas Reservoir. 1 month ago, it was strikingly empty. Drought? What "Drought"?

This was a good day. I woke early, enjoyed some quiet, focused time and meditation before heading to Panorama with Jen and Scottie. Mark was coming to pick up the rest of the books and return the boxes. Jen met Joan, and Scottie was out of sorts over the change of scenery. Typical. We didn't stay long after, returned to Matson, and took some donations to Hope with Lauren. I threw together a simple picnic of meat, cheese, fruit, and crackers, and we went to Martin Ranch for some solo time. We talked over ideas about the house and our futures, and then we dove into the wine tasting. I enjoy their wines so much. We had to pick up a quarterly allotment as it was but had also decided to invest in a case of the 2017 Sangiovese because it's just such a great bottle. Their 2018 Bordeaux blend, though, which is their annual "bottle your own" offering, was terrific as well. I expect we'll be getting that when it's available too. We will need to get a wine refrigerator at this point. It was a wonderful welcome break for us. I went to see Linda in the evening. She was awake. Her TV was on, but I don't know if she was watching it. She said "Hello, Geoff" when I said "Hello." I visited for about 30+ minutes, mostly spent in silence, just sitting with her. She was looking into my eyes more than usual but saying nothing. I asked if she was scared, and she nodded, "yes." It was a heartbreaking visit. I went to help my mom afterward with some computer issues and took her Apple Watch so I could upgrade it and return it ASAP. Tomorrow I will be swapping the locks at Panorama and hopefully putting in the new garage lighting. Then I have to focus on Tuesday's presentation.
Gratitude: My relationship with Jennifer is such a gift. She's supported in everything I do and aspire to.
