Mindset: lazy. I just don't wanna do anything. Maybe I'm in a rut. But David arrives today (and Julia) so I have some things to manage at the house and getting things ready while Jennifer works. Totally reasonable. Not her soul responsibility to manage the house. House has his own deck :-).
Goals: pretty simple really. Fix up the guestroom (Lauren's room – it's still hard not to call it that). And with whatever downtime I can finagle I hope to get some more writing done about the book.
Anticipation: anticipation always something good? I mentioned previously having apprehension surrounding the concept of My politically opposition (beliefs and Demeter) in the night of the debate. So I anticipate I need to ignore deflect or avoid conflict with Grace humility dignity and for a change, I sense of defiant stance regarding my impressions of one of the two individuals running for office as being a petulant, childish immature, unprofessional wreck with no regard for anything other than his own self-esteem.
Wants: a repeat of the tone and demeanor of my brothers, previous visit where far more connection and understanding was experienced
