Man, days are like raising kids. They seem to take forever until you're at the end, and you can't believe how quickly it went by. Today was another pleasant day. I did some actual writing, finally. I have nothing published yet, just some drafts needing a little editing and review. But it was good. I used the reMarkable, which affords me concentration, but I always need something on the Mac. Lauren's coming down tomorrow for a dental day run down and back, but it sounds like she'll return Wednesday-Friday. Tommy's been pleasant too. I was struck earlier looking at a photo of him and his mom and seeing such pain in his face, constrained but evident. I'm hoping he's finally starting to come into a better place; it's been a challenging couple of years. Perhaps the highlight of my day was FINALLY running into a former neighbor and colleague who's been through some tough times. I saw and made a concerted effort almost to corner him, press my hand into his, and press my sincere interest in reconnecting whenever he was available. I've no idea where it'll go. I'm optimistic but also know that what I've wanted to do and say has been done and said, and the rest is at the whim of others' actions. Jen made a wonderful dinner, and I helped clean and manage multiple things and needs around the house. We have a good , when it comes to these things. I spent some time thinking about and writing about her ex, Chris, my former brother-in-law. It's something I have some unresolved feelings about, I'll leave it there for now and here. I am going to Jikoji in the morning and set aside some supplies to make a fun scramble for breakfast before I set into some working sessions with folks for the latter part of the morning. The work I did on some site changes yesterday broke some functionality. Amanda reached out and I reviewed and fixed the issues I introduced. Learning!
