I consider today yet-another really good day. How simple is that? I might consider reviving a daily rating. I started out with that in 10/2018 on my journal entries, remember? The emoji's? I abandoned them because I couldn't 'do anything' with the data. Emoji's don't search on blogger. Curse you 1998! What I wanted (want) to eventually (never) implement would be charting, trends, filtering and such. Anyway all of those points make my point that I routinely expect what takes days to take hours. All the while I do get things done. Today for example – My coffee roasting pass proved successful, so another batch was ground and awaits the morning tasting. I'm more confident than optimistic which means optimism is overshadowed by reasonable certainty. I kept busy all day. I worked for a couple of hours total on Jikoji tasks, communicated and coordinated with a possible buyer for Lauren's Mini (man I will really miss that car), researching and feeling a lot better about talking to hte kids about some inner-circle stuff, make a few calls (great chat, Matt!), dropping packages off, picking groceries up, keeping the kitchen in order, dug into Dom's data file inquiries, and lots of other planned and unplanned activities. I'm routinely amazed at all the maintenance needs over production. It's like leading and engineering team was. "Was". Wow. Past tense. Yet, now, I'm past "tense" and don't miss the work life at all. I might need it but if I can just get past the fucking daily maintence work maybe I'll make a path into a modestly sustainabile while far more fulfilling existence. One can hope. I know I do.
