Focal Pointless Camera – Before and After
The past week was spent in Nevada and Utah with Lauren, during which I set aside the daily journaling. I'll capture the details about it elsewhere, but it was a wonderful week. I'll repeat here the text I sent Jen before returning: "This trip will be a memory she will treasure. Best investment I could make in our relationship." I will treasure it too. We returned Saturday am, and most of the day yesterday and today was spent trying to get some momentum around purging much of the 'excess crap' we have at Matson that we won't take to Panorama. We have to start ramping up that effort. Jen's job might be at risk, and if that's the case, it'll be all the more critical to cut the dual-home expenses regardless of Panorama's readiness. It's "ready" enough that we could start living there as soon as we get the furniture we need to move over. This week is going to be a defining one. In addition, Tommy's heading to Florida with Eric and family early Tuesday and will be gone for eight days. That'll afford us some opportunity to make some aggressive moves inducing decisions about what goes or stays. I return to work tomorrow too, which will be challenging. I have been detached for the entire week with little/no real engagement, so I'll need to 'catch up' with in-flight tasks again. Oh, while on vacation, my iPhone camera suddenly refused to focus. After triaging and doing everything necessary to debug down to complete wiping without resolution, I had to take it to Apple and pay for a new camera. It's out of warranty and that allegedly 'happens.' I am less upset about the cost as I am about the timing during vacation, and worse, the ripple effect of resetting breaking shortest and CarPlay settings and numerous other stuff that how has to be found through usage … meaning I'll be spending a week or two encountering things to resolve. This is why I tend to want to walk away from tech, but that's not an option in today's society. I can't even get into a concert anymore without a connected device; they're that essential. But I am going to reduce some of the customizations because of this. Every once in a while, I'm reminded that spending hours savings seconds can take time to result in a positive ROI.
