Winter Ball'ers
Slept in for a couple of hours for a change, and felt great doing so. Went to Cafe Dio in LG with Lauren and Jen for coffee/croissants. Went to Panorama where Tommy helped with the cleaning while Jen and Lauren went through more clothes and I worked on a few more 'hit list' tasks. Then I tried for the 3rd time to set up the thermostat without success and OMFG is it frustrating. It really is hard to not get angry when I'm doing all I should and following directions without success. Tommy and I visited his mom, briefly, and she said "hi" at the outset after a long effort to wake her. Jen and I met with the Home Depot rep at Pano to discuss kitchen remodel. It was exhausting. I have a low threshold for what feels like a sales pitch and frankly, being in that house and seeing all the shit that has to be done to make it livable is traumatic considering I lived through it and my kids were damaged by it too. I just don't know how we're going to get through this. I have to, but it's really challenging me. We ended the day by going to get photos of Tommy and his date Lauren C. before they went to the Winter Ball. I hope they're having a great time, it's rewarding to see him going out and experiencing these milestones. I'm hoping to have more downtime tomorrow as today was spent, as is the case, doing more than I planned. And my stress level is high due to all that's needing to be balanced. I'm grateful for little moments of awareness of the most subtle moments in my day. Even the simple visual experience of watching cream being poured into coffee as it swirls and blends into a uniform color is something I find rewarding to consciously recognize as an enjoyable experience.
