'tis a good day for a concerto | 🎶 "'Cos this winter looks like it's gonna be another bad one" 🎶
Highlights: Horrible sleep last night following a blowup with Tommy over his disrespectful interactions with me. We made it two whole days. I was still fuming when I got up and felt overwhelmed by everything, so I got up and went to Starbucks to hang out, listen to more of "How To Break Up With Your Phone," and avoid getting into the ring again. I returned before my meetings, and he approached me about resolving last night. I said there was nothing to resolve and meant it. As Jen said, the damage is done. That's both to our relationship, theirs, and for him in general because he seems completely detached from responsibility or consideration. Whatever the case, I'm focused on keeping things as balanced as possible while I work to accept the situation as it is and not expect otherwise. Jen's also reaching a limit, especially with the frequent failure to clear clutter and not leave stuff all over. That, too, is about historical exposure and poor modeling. They grew up in a disgusting environment, so this is the result. Work was good. I got my FMLA formally approved, which is such good news. I'm working on my game plan for the time and objectives. My dental visit was 30m from start to finish – good cleaning focused on daily flossing. I get that along. So I will ensure I do it as a new atomic habit. I found a way to simplify amortization reporting now that we're doing full routine time logging. I talked to a data analyst candidate from a company we have worked with on related projects, and there's a lot of interest from several players on the team to get them on board. We'll see how that plays out. Jen and I ran to GOBM (Pumpkin Spice NutPods!) and Costco (restocked DCG cards and snagged their stellar egg nog with the self-set caveat that I get back down to 160 before I open it, so there's more motivation to do so. I've been a bit slack this week. I picked up a wreath for my mom and will run it to her tomorrow. I returned to find some water in the garage, the roof is leaking. Ugh. I was going to put some barriers up tomorrow before more rain and call the insurance company. Oh, and Jen got us over to AAA again. Geico's been too problematic. Returned home to find one of the dogs dropped a dookie in the living room, but it's understandable, having been raining all day. She made dog food tonight and they of course were excited. All in all, it was a pretty eventful day. I'm going to floss now and try out the 'bite guard' I received to address teeth grinding.
