Highlights: An early rise, including roasting and immediately brewing a fresh pot of Peaberry. Thank you, Martin, for saving me from resorting to store-bought. Causing the coffee maker's plastic guard piece to melt, again, and realizing it's how the issue came about before - runing with hte shield down and not having the canister in place. Duh. It's an out-of-stock $15 part that JS was able to 3D print within a short manner of time along with a reMarkable pencil holder too. Thank you Johnathon for being so responsive and helpful. Getting the upload issues resolved for the book and confirming that it's "gone to print". Covid's still lingering, surprisingly, for both of us.

Insights: Scottie's doing ok but obviously struggling a good amount, and it's resulting in a need to adapt to more caregiving. Jen was pretty out of it yesterday and I was doing things for her, too. The insight is that I'm more aware of and happy to help. A lot of this ties into my mom's circumastances and to the experience with Linda which has been stirred up quite intensely by the efforts to create the photo book. It's all a lesson in, as Sam Harris said in a podcast I was listening to today, being consious of 'the last time' you might do anything, and knowing you often don't know it will be until it was.
