Highlights: It's been a relatively calm and routine couple of days, which has been appreciated. I had a good lunch with Marlin on Wednesday and talked frankly about the workload struggles. He had some excellent feedback and suggestions. But my meeting walking through ideas on improving engineering estimations and predictably went south, so I went back to the drawing board. I slept well last night and the prior night too. I've been 'logging' sleep quality in the CALM app in the mornings, and it was a welcome change to log something positive. My neck issues continue to subside, ever so gradually. Looking left still, brings some pain, but increasingly less, which as a statement seems wrong… increasingly less? Is that even possible? Anyway. I had a good chat with my mom last night to touch base and catch up. She's doing well, and we'll see her for Dinner on Friday (Lauren/Tommy/I). I spent the past couple of nights playing some records and sitting on the living room couch with a cup of tea on my right and Scottie on my left. Jen's sent some beautiful photos from Italy, but the best was a series of 3 sent by Jon today that completely capture her animated and playful spirit. It made me smile with gratitude that she's in all of our lives. I picked up a few additions to my record collection today while attempting to find a home for the surplus set. I'm not doing any further "impulse purchases," but I'm still watching for those final few gems. Lauren comes down tomorrow through Sunday. Along with taking Aqui to my mom's with them Friday, I made reservations for lunch at a Brazilian place I've wanted to try, just as an option she'd like. Tommy might too. We'll see how the weekend pans out. Tommy's been throwing up frequently lately, and although I initially thought it was chocolate-related, it seems to be something else. I want him to see Dr. Trager tomorrow and start some initial exams to see if they can isolate a root cause. It's always a delicate balancing act to not go full-tilt anxious over stuff that usually has a simple rational explanation, but that's not how his childhood was. I have been working to introduce more logic and understanding over fear and stress. Stress could be a component for him, but I don't know if he'll share that. I'll try to raise it tomorrow.
