It was a pleasant surprise to find Pamela back at Jikoji this morning, and to learn that Michael was arriving later in the day. I will return tomorrow am for another sit because I want to have breakfast with them and hear how things went. They're both really genuine and real people. Jen and I ran to Costco for dog food supplies and I picked up some veggie quiches to take up too. I don't know yet how the conversation with the resident went and I can only hope it was taken well. I hope it have a change tomorrow to talk to them about my impression regarding their own unmet potential. I worked today on some further site revisions and refinements. I'm still dragging my feet on the BIG tasks but that's next I had a good positive regarding my benefits inquiries and I'm hopping for some progress tomorrow. I also need to find a primary care physician through Jen's plans while we have them which has always been a challenge in the past. I'm still mulling over how I might opt to respond to the recent outreach I've mentioned previously. I keep, gratefully, looking at this as a growth opportunity and I feel like it's the most thought I've put into an exchange in a long time. It's all good, just quite a surprise and quite a unique scenario. It's been 24 years and amazing to even reflect on that alone, not to mention all the changes and experiences and life lived. That's a lot of catching up. If only I had decades of writings online to refer to ;-D. I carted three loads of dirt to the back yard from the sidewalk in an effort to make a further dent in the work Jen did. Another day or two and it'll be done.
