…and …. 'SCENE!"
Another good day spent balancing tasks and accomplishments and enjoying life, family and friends. We spent the AM working on things at Panorama. You mightn't know it just looking, but a wide range of actions and to-do's got ticked off. Reconnecting the wifi thermostat, moving, matching, coordinating and storing dozens of bins and lids, putting some more items into the rafters, and more. I pulled out the 'wall of milk cartons' I put in the garage within the 1st week of moving in. I swept areas that had likely not been cleaned before then too. A lot of little things add up to getting more foundations in place to support the needs of moving in. Jen was fantastic and helped immensely with the efforts as well as ideas. I'm so grateful to have her in my life. Tommy came and went and came and went. We didn't talk; I did not press things; it felt good to focus on having set the expectations and allowing that to settle. We had plans to have a wine taste with Jess/Bev, and before doing so, I checked and saw the unbelievable traffic conditions. Three-day weekend + beach traffic. We pivoted and hung out on the patio and enjoyed some beautiful bottles from our collection. I love that we're doing so; I'm done 'hoarding' for the most part and want to get back to under 100 bottles total. We opened four bottles, a Bodega de Edgar and a Wrath Rose, both excellent, an "ok" blend from Pierano (Lodi), and a Wrath Pinot (2019 Tondré Grapefield) that was just amazing. The sugars in the rose, the sun, and the volume consumed led to my being tipsy and Jen being tipped over completely. I frequently find myself a bit over the edge, I think in part due to the reduced weight, but Jen's usually fine. Tonight she pretty much went off the rails. And that's OK. Living through this past week, let alone this past year, as a 'bystander' of sorts… that's draining. I'm glad she had such fun, and she enjoys our friends with complete genuine sincerity. You have no idea how much I value that over prior experiences. But she does. I make sure of that. I crashed for a while but arose later to clean up and say goodnight to Lucky and Lauren. All in all, it was a good day. I have a lot to be grateful for. I think I'll shoot for taking Lauren to Madrona tomorrow for Memorial Day services.
