It's been quite a dynamic day or two. Fall is certainly in the air. The morning clouds and sunrises remain spectacular, although I missed them for a day or two as I allowed the creeping cold to increase the air pressure on the blankets, thus preventing my escape from the stifling and unbearable warmth below. The looming Thanksgiving gathering has me focused on assorted "Honey, do…" tasks. My AAA office visit was modestly successful while frustratingly constrained. It just doesn't make sense that with my driving record at this age, we should be paying the increase we're being charged for car insurance. It's been acknowledged to be a rate increase post-COVID that would've otherwise occurred gradually over a few years. In either case, I'm shopping around for insurance options. I helped finalize and send out the fundraising plea for the Zen Center and worked on a revision to the webpage, too. And the migration to Stripe is ready sans the subscription model. I'm incredibly proud of all those work outcomes. The practice session with the Comparison and Choices rep went wonderfully and is another point of pride and increased confidence. I won the Cardz game last night and enjoyed the conversation and laughter. I've said it often, and it's true - we have a wonderful array of friends and experiences. I reached out to Lisa and hope to see her in early December. That she found David how she did is potentially what got Lauren interested in the genetic search tied to the access I gained last night to Linda's 23andme account, now in Lauren's hands as she explores the possibility of some legacy-based explanation of her traits and characteristics. She's really into it, while Tommy's not so much. Francine reached out about the coordination of tree trimming this year, which I am all for. The day today has a lot of errands lined up back-to-back; social, pet vet and grooming, pickup of nuts and a daughter, all during holiday commute traffic. I'll be sure to self-medicate appropriately. :-)
