Production improvements. 9,756 oz = 78 servings = 39 days (5.5 weeks)

My expiring points were motivation to take time and hang out at Starbucks. It's backfiring in that once settled in and having settled for subpar coffee, it was delivered with too little cream, which they now keep barricaded from customer access for some odd reason. I've encountered difficulty with the WiFi and had to tether to my phone instead, and an hour after dropping it off, I've just noticed my car is NOT charging at Leigh. All manageable, all first-world issues, all whiny woke white male lamentations. I thought I'd try getting creative, finding a way to use the charging app, its history, and a few other factors, and I came close to getting it managed, but it appears it will require my return. Whaaa. Such a non-issue but worth noting as a small, subtle experience that admittedly does trigger a "grrrr" reflex. It's ingrained and learned behavior that I'm proudly aware of enough to embarassingly admit to being a characteristic. My day yesterday was productive as hell, and I'm hoping to have another day focused mainly on plate-clearing a few time-critical tasks tied to my mom's care, budgeting needs (personal and business) and other such things. Jess and Bev came by after dinner last night to hang out and catch up. It was great to see them and connect calmly and casually versus the typical couples clustering where my short attention span can stretch far enough to break.
