It's been an eventful few days. Tommy helped me sell the CRV. I visited Lauren Sun and Mon. Sunday we drove to Jackson, Sutter Creek, El Dorado Hills, and had a great meal at Rio Cafe on the water by the Sacramento bridge at sunset. Epic, and the cheese bread was amazing. The stay at Arden Star worked out well and I'll return for future needs. I got ahold of EDD and a very nice guy named David helped me reinstate my benefits, which was a huge relief. Our tahoe drive was wonderful until we hit an awful pothole, so bad that it caused a 'pinch flat'. We realized it climing the hill out of Tahoe. We returned and found no options for repair so, with consideration of the worse-case scenario, we utilized the 'run flat' nature of the tires to drive 50mph from Tahoe to Folsom, flashers on the whole way. And we made it, took it to America's Tire Center on Bidwell, and left it for them to replace two tires which had to be ordered. Unless they find some other issue when changing it, I'll get it Monday and drive it back home. The best part was that I didn't get upset about it, only a bit anxious. AND we got Lauren back in time, via Uber, to have enchiladas at Zocolo and be at work by 7pm. Tommy offered to come get me and I regreted it quickly 4beause he'd worked a long day and was already tired. He drives faster and more aggressively than I and it makes me nervous. I hung with Matt C until Tommy arrived which was great and as always, good conversations were shared. I got home around 11.40 pm and the stress of the day made sleeping difficult. Today was a productive day at home, spent working through my to list including starting the Cobra documentation, setting up the new business credit card, paying final property taxes, going through papers and mail and such. The TypeFolio arrived and I'm using it now. I'm liking it, it's a good option for the reMarkable, but it feels far less personal than handwriting does. I coordinate with Michael P on the transfer of the credientials for Jikoji so that's done and next week I hope to be helping more with things. This week I'll be at the Big Heart City silent retreat. Tommy's staying at Pajaro Dunes with the Marioni's tonight and likely other nights this week.
