Walkers in waiting | my new outdoor office space
Highlights: yet another insanely busy day. Good GNO last night with some feedback and shared insights have me considering some options to improve my quality of life. Discussed with Jen and then with my counselor. Great session there, too. Got some great feedback as well and good direction that feels like another substantial step towards further growth and more "QoL," too. Jen made three awesome PSMF meals as we kicked off a 4-week program. I'm grateful. We had a nice meal together before I dove back into work tasks. I'm genuinely happy daily due to her presence. My work day just ended with my 1st emailed weekly status in over half a year, and it was packed with all sorts of direct, clear, obvious issues needing resolution. The AM meeting with the team went well, I think, as I laid out some pretty clear directions about daily routines, visibility, teamwork, and all that stuff. I still need to put some time into the remaining critical path needs, and I see it as catching up/making up for times I've been less engaged without reason beyond disregard. There's a balance to be found. That's pretty much true about everything, though isn't it? And yet the imbalance makes for the highs and lows that make this whole 'life' thing such a thrill.
