Dear Vox Cookie worker: In innocent mistake, I'm sure, but I said "decaf". The large cappuccino you made me was extra strength as evidenced by my inability to sleep until 3am and the massive bowel moment during the midpoint of my restless night. TMI? My lesson is to watch and ensure and yours can simply be to view a decaf request as a medical scenario akin to peanut allergies and we'll have a much better experience.

Mindset: I'm heading into the day with fragmented sleep and a bit of uncertainty as to what lies ahead. Goals: I'm on day 3 of the cold shower routine and, science or placebo, it's pretty interesting to feel a slight difference in my focus and energy. We'll see how the day goes but I'm not making too many promises beyond a commitment to following through with BIG clarification of course track and revisiting the Total Control course outcomes to reinforce my/our plans for august. I need to start setting milestone goals.

Anticipation: Taking my mom a/Hutch to be put down. I'm trying to correlate her feelings with those I'd have/will have when I'm faced with the same for Scottie but I'm also trying to be stoic and rational about how fortunate we are to have the option to ease suffering of our pets. Too bad we don't support that better for humanity. My other anticipation is Asteroid City with Jen tonight.

5 Wants: Write and publish the story of myself, Jen, Linda, Kids. Make a living doing something that satisfies my soul. Build a deck in the back yard. Improved my skills at recognizing and accepting "what is". Create a routine that fosters continued contact and enriching times with friends and family.
