I took today off. I hit my max PTO again, and I wanted to take some time to recoup from last night's rather emotional discussion with Tommy and the rest of the family. I have some reflection to do. I also have a task list that's been overwheming me and I wanted to dedicated a block of time to knocking off a backlog of checklist actions. I dove into calls including dealing with an annoying scenario where a website issue with a transaction hung three times, charging my credit card repeatedly while not processing my order. That took, literally, hours on the phone with multiple people and i'm still not sure it's fully resolved. TBD. 1st world problem but aren't they all. Lauren called from school needing me to bring her contact solution so I ran it over promptly and graciously. Driving to drop the contacts my tire light was on again and i ended up having to manually pump up the front right, it appears to have a slow leak and I have just not made time to address that yet. This things do pile up quickly. I asked Tommy for his dive plans but no reply yet. I also followed up with insurance looking for a "primary care" physician which I don't have, and now I have some leads. I spent time with Linda, she wasn't eating and was non responsive again, I was not able to wake her. I talked to her though, telling her as I have before that she could let go and move on and all would be OK. It's still not quite real even after a year to be sitting with her in this state and be fully consious of and accepting of her actually being on her death bed. Lauren got some great news, she's been accepted to San Diego State University and she's super excited about it. The evening transitioned with Jen and I enjoying a french Bordeaux, some warm brie and time at the firepit talking about the weekend plans. I joined this week's online meditation talk at Big Heart but I struggled with my restless mind syndrome througout. It's harder to still the mind at the end of the day than it is at the beginning.
