Highlights: continued effort to return to habits is setting in. A good morning meditation was a supportive experience for the two sole practitioners on-site. I'll go up on Friday morning and Sunday morning too. The Comcast appointment resolved mom's internet issues with little effort (assuming you don't count the past few days filled with failed attempts to get back to this point). The problem was that the new modem was not supported, even though it was the same model. Hers was grandfathered in. Or in this case, grandmothers. Whatever. No charge, she's back up and journaling, and I found a supported option for the upgrade within hours. It's in hand and will be CAREFULLY swapped out tomorrow. Temps hit 91 today. Can't wait to get out of the summer months so our PGE can get back under $500.
Insights: It has felt like my attitude and demeanor have been below ideal. I recognize my impatience as an artifact of the uncertainty of numerous current circumstances. Income. Health. Aging mother. Aging dog. Aging self. It's easy to attribute it to such factors, but I don't want to relax into excuses. Uncertainty is a constant. Complacency and expectations that everything stays "good" is as unproductive as lamenting when something goes "bad". Learning to respond to all of it, outside of decades of conditioning, may take a longer lifetime that I might have.
