Highlights: I slept in again. I am finding it a challenge to be getting up at 6 am since our move. But that's part of the point of doing so… meeting that challenge. I've adjusted my alarm and plan on following through tomorrow morning. It was easier at Matson when my phone was charging in the bathroom when the alarm went off…. so I just moved the charger into the bathroom here at Panorama. I even put the effort into running the cord behind the sink to keep things looking clean—details matter. I also walked tonight with Jen and Lauren in an effort to get more daily steps. That's yet another thing that's taken a back seat since moving, and I am going to focus on getting that traction back. Things are settling nicely, but not fully, at Pano. There's still so much to do, and each evening I end up tackling one or another task. Tonight it was a run to my mom's to get the other two tables. If I'm going to do a full restoration, it'll take a lot more time, but for now, they're cleaned and oiled and look "good enough." The fact that there are burn marks from my father's cigarettes makes them all the more precious. Adding these adds another dimension to our room, and we're continuing to enjoy it fully. Tommy shared a strong desire/interest in pushing hard for two years of Jr College in an effort to get into a business degree through Berkeley. I told him as long as he maintained and fostered a respectful home and followed the simple mandates of clean, considerate AND counseling, he's got a place to stay while doing so. The counseling hasn't started, but this gave me a platform to revisit and emphasize following through. A few more LPs showed up and got played. That's another restoration project I'm looking forward to taking on.
