I have a lot of hope for the year ahead. The act of (finally) pulling the trigger on the move to Panorama has brought a sense of anticipation into my routines. It's not reversible. Notice has been given and Matson is already on the market for rent starting in August. Things are going to be shaken up for a while but in a hopefully good way. The move will stretch out for a few weeks, easily, allowing me time to judiciously determine what really needs to come with us and what can be abandoned. Things like the typewriter and the African beetle have already come to mind as things to let go of. As I sat working today in Panorama looked around the very sparse surroundings it gave me a sense of calm and peace. As we move in more items we both have to have some significant need for or attachment toisem, and they can't be things we box or hide either. That's a big challenge. That will take some effort. Meanwhile, work was good, really good, but I have a lot of things to do on an already overloaded 3-day weekend. Today I managed to also get things ready for the movers to bring things in Sunday – all of the junk got picked up, I talked to Yoshi and when I saw his wine boxes on the street I gave him an MR 2017 Sangiovese, then he showed up about 10 min later with a 2014 Peter Michael Chardonnay. I generous gesture given how highly rated it is. I'm looking forward to getting to know them better once we move in. I significantly cleared the back patio and I even set up Linda's legacy area as I had discussed with Lauren. I'm looking forward to her seeing it tomorrow. Tommy's in Florida and still doesn't know that we'll be in Panorama when he returns. We three will be working at Matson tomorrow to get things packed, partially, for the Sunday move of the larger items. We'll be delaying a great deal of stuff because we have to have the time to decide what stays or goes, and what goes can be easily transported each day until we're ready to sell, donate or toss what's left. Jen and I attended Vaness and Glen's son's baptism dinner at Il Fornaio and indulged in some awesome desserts. I'm staying in my range but at the high end so the next couple of days will require some focused discipline. I have a birthday coming up and firm intentions of being at an exact place that day, weight and blood pressure and a few other things.
