Mindset: Quagmire. And not in a "giggity" way. A genuinely complicated situation continues to dominate my time and attention, and not in a positive way. I am doing my best to set aside the ego and the need for someone to be something they are incapable of. In other news, I had a good walk today, although an attempt to coordinate a meeting with a friend for coffee was sidelined by incorrect assumptions about their timeline and availability. Sigh. Still, the daily walking is going well. I'm speed-walking (to a modest degree) to hit a healthy pace and get my cardio points, too. Until this week, the only thing I do daily to raise my heart rate and get my blood pumping has been too quick and narrowly targeted. This feels like a step in the right direction. I have been working this week on better understanding the "burn rate" of Jikoji as a business, and I met with Katie today to review some of the reports and features within QuickBooks. It is a steep learning curve, but it also has some functionality that will be helpful and may streamline some workflows and processes. At a minimum, getting to a board-wide understanding of the average high-low funding requirements will help immensely. Happy Hound burgers were the meal at my mom's tonight, where there too lies another "zentertraining" opportunity to accept some characteristics that, at 86, can't be changed, can be explained, but are also triggers for me personally, based on some of the assertions being made that I know first hand to be absurdly inaccurate and outlandishly overblown.
