This was a full and good day. I'm tired, but I will make an effort all the same and quickly. Great coffee again. I roasted another variety in the same steps. It came out quite interesting, and it'll be our starter tomorrow. Mark's going to help with some plumbing stuff. I'll have to save him a cup. I won't make the Jikoji call, which is fine. I have other things to do. The AM appointment for my mom went well. A very good, kind, articulate Nurse Practitioner met with her and explained a lot. It is so touching to recognize this as a scene from a documentary about people's final phases of life. And I'm the son in it, and I'll be a voiceover in the last segments. Sigh. On a good note, the tests are still good enough to defer infusions. Oh, Tommy didn't care for his full-day ride alone for an ambulance company. Lots of exposure to hospice and care facilities. They can be depressing. I picked up my beans from Martin, packaged them, and set them aside. Almost 9 pounds would cost me 1.5 times as much within having all the control over the outcome, freshness, and all of it. It's a fun hobby, too. I played Farkel with Lauren via Zoom. I'm struggling with letting go and allowing her to make poor decisions, but I am trying to be balanced. Parenting has yet to get easy, and it just shifts around like a loose cantaloupe from the groceries in the trunk. We watched some 'Curb' and 'Last Week Tonight' too.
