useful pause, eyes on whatever’s out the window. We all need to stop, don’t worry about productivity or progress. There is progress in the stillness, just for a moment, ‘cause the moment is you. Your collection point, YOUR peace. ♥️

This morning….
Notes….
Then taking the rest of the day. Merry Xmas, everyone!!! ♥️💕✔️‼️😘🥰
Up early. Quick coffee putting then Nurse and I went to a small bakery down the Road for treats, for kids. Okay, and for us.
Going over new ideas and ones I’ve had since the beginning of Q4 this year, for 2026. Less, consolidation… PRODUCTION on a fierce and unusual energy. One project at a time. True, being distracted by other projects and production isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but being centralized and singularly honed is more fruitful. Henry and…

08:12, and on duty. Well, technically. Not much happening this week, and I can’t even believe that this week is here. Xmas. Like, how?? Ten days till 2026. And, after last night’s cook attempt being actually successful and not an attempt at all but an actualization, my confidence hasn’t been so high in some time….
08:21. Emma at her sleepover, me in the kitchen writing sipping my 2nd espresso.
Jack asleep still but little 5 year-old ball of energy Henry up and playing. Reframing the morning, waking in a bit of mood-mud. Think I know why but not completely certain and the origin or propellant doesn’t matter. Just keep moving I tell myself, and anyone reading who wakes and feels off. Just do something….
Memory….

In the loft. All three kids. Happy, but so happy it’s hard to translate.
Heater on, cozy, fixed the Alexa thing I have on the counter. Chill beats. Taking Emma to a sleepover at 14:30. Then, just me and the boys tonight. Think that might be the first time that’s happened. Nurse recommended pizza, excellent idea. And, YES. Again the position of vowing to SELF that I’ll work in…
Day starting with some nerves but they’re immediately muted with thoughts and words, and promises to self.
Inventory xmas gifts… work on SHU, pause the project from yesterday. Meeting at 1300. Prep in phone, eight points to address. After that I’m thinking a drive back here, dinner with friends (same we saw last night, Nurse’s oldest and closest), and then the day closed. Started an idea dump in my phone. Not liking…
14:08
Where did the day…. Probably heading to my friend’s restaurant up the street after a couple more forwards. Caught up on assessments. Only reason I was behind, a mental block. Texting with Nurse, her and I both having coffee, though I might be spilling mine out in a bit. Too much, and starting to feel…
Thursday. In office for the first time this week.
Making this office a home for me. Like, a REAL home. 5 coffee cups. Well, one I need to take back to the house, since I technically bought it for the Nurse. Starting my printed business. Coffee cups, mugs, maybe journals next but starting with COFFEE. No shocker there. Ugh… I need to run but…
