Highlights: Progress on the domain consolidations. Reservations were made for Paso with Lauren. Discussions about a family reunion with my mom in May kicked off. The auto-flush in the guest bathroom is in place yet appears to need refined placement. I attended a class at Stanford related to Psychedelics and intend to return for more. I saw "Lost Horizon" at the Stanford Theater and was reminded of having seen it many more times than I recalled going in.

Insights. I have been enjoying, for the most part, the time and solitude of this past week. Jennifer returns home this evening, and I plan to spend my day as I have the previous seven: balancing the moving of small and large rocks. Or more accurately, recursively learning against and feigning the confidence and strength needed to move a large one without help and better tools than my body weight. What I am capable of is stagnating between knowing and showing, right alongside the self-imposed constraint of obligations outside of my primary responsibility to myself. Putting my oxygen mask first ensures I can assist others, and their independent success or failure is not mine to ensure.
