It's not my long-term goal, but it's an excellent start.
I slept reasonably well last night. I tried a .25mg dropper of the CBD last night. Coincidence? I'm not sure. It's not unreasonable to assume it's a factor, but I've had decent nights of sleep without taking CBD. I guess it's all about repetition and subjective association. If it helps, that's awesome, but as discussed tonight at the monthly geek's dinner, I get weird about dependencies. I get funny about many things, but dependencies are significant, like playing 'cricket sounds' at night and becoming so accustomed to it that I need it to sleep. Or having a drink every night as a routine and a ritual even when I know it messes up my weight and sleep. Speaking of weight, I'm doing well maintaining but every so slightly nudging up just a tad, so I'm going to dig in my heals for the weekend ahead and get back into my mid-range maintenance target. Work was decent today, and I put a chunk of time into understanding why the reporting steps for cultivating clients were such a fiasco. It's over-engineered, and, for the time being, the simple solution is the optimal solution. So I am calling a meeting to review/discuss a reboot of the method and approach. Jen dropped me at Pano this am. My mom slept better, and the cats are getting adjusted. I did work tasks and picked up some stuff I needed to ship. I was stunned to learn that the 3-volume Van Gogh letters books had writing and dirt damage. I did not see that, but I can't attest to having checked, so I refunded the total amount and said, 'keep it. My integrity is worth more than the sale of the books'. It inspired me to get the Van Gogh DVD set out and encode it for playback. Van Gogh's life is fascinating. I shipped off the plates and tray that sold on eBay and canceled the other listings because it's not worth my time to continue. At lunch, I picked up a craigslist's mid-century stereo console in Santa Clara for just $80. It's not exactly what I've envisioned, but it's a good-looking unit that'll serve as a table and, eventually, a bar or just get resold when I find the winder version I want. A lot will depend on how things fit into the house. I moved the furniture pickup to Wed since my mom's staying until Monday. It's been nice having Lauren around more, and Tommy's been a lot more balanced and reasonable lately. I still don't know if he went to the counselor as we agreed, but I'm not pressing it. I want to work on something – not insisting on anything anymore and not trying to change or influence unless asked to. GNO tonight was great as always. I'm looking forward to the chance to do Vegas or something similar soon. And man, I'm looking forward to the Paso trip on 5/8.
