Another day testing out the modified alarm and it all worked well, as did the first night, with one execption being that I looked at email before morning meditations and caught a reference to a blog site being removed. I noted it as I deleted it assuming it was spam but sure enough, blogger somehow determined that my geoffmitchell site was somehow in violation of their terms and conditions. That threw me, because I've not been as diligent about backups and essentially a month+ of my posts there were theoritcally gone or at risk of being gone. I followed an appeal request through the notification email and online, assuming i'd likely wait weeks for any response, and by the time I returned from our dog walk it was restored. Lesson: backup weekly, and accept that any online pubishing of my writings is subject to removal in any form or instance incuding self-hosted unless I setup my own ISP. Whatever the case backups are gonna be weekly and that's the best option I have. I'm just grateful that I don't have to revisit hosting options. I have enough on my plate as it is. Worked at Pano with Jen and took a long lunch. Went to Campbell Aqui to split a salad and we discussed recent insights re kids inheritence and the trust and edleman financials position on access and rights. Continued discussions in the afternoon with Kathy via texts, working to coordinate with estate legal resources to ensure we 'execute the trust' approporiately and ensure the kids are empowered with funds for College, not funds for Tesla's. Had a nice lunch with Jen. Chilled at home, enjoyed some brie and a 2016 Malbec from France (you can taste the soil) until Tommy came home and started giving me shit about the fact that we're gonna try and move into Pano ASAP and delay flooring in his room until we do the rest of the house after kitchen remodel, all at once. WTF? Why's it an issue? He's been pressing to move in but seems to think ti's simply a matter of our dragging our feet about remodeling things when the reality is far more compliccated and tied to lead times, supply chains, our financials, and so much more. I love him but he's a fucking asshole. He actually did apologize for 'gaslighting me' but once i was trying to converse again he flipped back to the dysfunctional oppositional position out of habit and I just and to let go and stop talking. There's no winning. Just like his mom and his uncle, he's sadly learned to just argue for the rush of arguing. It breaks my heart that this is how he's turned out, and I blame her and myself for not shutting her down in year one when it came to this bullshit aspect of parenting. Whatever the case it fucked up my night and now I'm just trying to regain the posiive attitude I had before getting sidelined by this insanity. As I said to Jen, It's insane that anybody is expected to take so much constant shit and when they scream "FUCK YOU, ASSHOLE", they're seen as the ones with an issue. Oh, and today I learned that "whale poop matters more than I might think". Fascinating.
