Highlights: Jennifer went with Deann to the farmer's market this morning, while I immersed myself in cleaning, clearing, thinning, and reorganizing my closet. It took several hours, and I cleared out about 50% of my clothes, separating them into now, soon, and later sections. T-shirts were even split into long- and short-sleeve sections within each grouping. Jen and I dropped most of it at Savers; there are a few items she might use. I also made the leap and spent $80 on a Chromebook as a dedicated writing tool. I've got it about 80% configured, and I'm using it for blogging AND for writing the book. The idea is to ensure that I can focus 100% without distractions. I'm optimistic about this step. The hard part is giving up the reMarkable's handwriting functionality. I love it, but it's not a practical option when this affords me focus, portability, offline editing, and complete cloud sync and access from any device with minimal complexity. Let's see how this new approach goes.

Insights: I haven't spoken to Tommy since yesterday's fight. I'm livid, yet empathic as to the quagmire of his internal struggles with trauma, loss, and way too many voices drowning out his own experiences. As well as his ingrained sense of entitlement. I don't know where this will go or how it will end. It's really fucking old at this point, and you're likely as sick of reading about it as I am of writing it. It's Linda 2.0.
