I considered visiting Sac today to check out the Midway Mall (Mid Century Antique Shop) before it closes. There's something I want from there. But I had numerous other tasks and aspirations on my mind, too, so I punted. It was a tough call, and even at 9.30, I was vacillating, but instead, I 'hunkered down' and kept focused on my efforts to structure my days for more optimal flow and productivity. It sorta worked. I had difficulty stopping, and my day's focus went in an unexpected direction – consolidating the blogs. I've tried repeatedly without success to merge them back into one for many reasons, but the technical issues and failed imports were more than I was willing to wrestle with. While doing other tasks, I found that a prior import worked. And a renewed effort snowballed into getting it all moved over. There's still significant cleanup needed due to formatting/reformatting issues, but it's all under one roof again. Here. And I'm pleased to have it done. I have a 'stopping point' of historical content to return to migrating, but that'll wait. For now, I'm content. Tommy called, and we discussed his work with terminal children at Stanford. It's intense, and I'm grateful he was willing to open up about it. His heart is good, and this sort of work is a gift when you realize how much you're helping somebody in need. I had some back/forth texts with Lauren as well. The new higher gate for the dogs worked great to keep them out of the entry and hallways.
