September’s end. Vacaville, 8:24 PM. Prepping for meeting with VP. Finished all prep last night, just going through PPT now. I hate PowerPoint, to be honest. Makes me feel dependent and shackled, confined and it detracts from confidence. But, I’m making it work. It’s a standard, I get it. Taking some time to self, didn’t…

Day starting in Field with coworker from the MDU world,
driving me to several parts of Santa Rosa, looking at different building and install types. Reminded me of the AE days doing site visits. Most will think this is geeky tech talk but I’m not from the world, this world, so I find it interesting and feel the same way I did as a new…
At the drawing board…
Notes and more of them, swarming. Not sure where my energy and focus is pulling me. Still with the old pictures… need to get out, take more. Wherever I am. Not much here in Vacaville, really. So diving into the camera and seeing what I forgot about. And there’s more than I thought, thankfully. Slow…
Starting with coffee at a new place with the Nurse, in Fairfield but just on the boarder shared with VV.
10:02, Nurse paints the walls downstairs, some touchups after taking down a few pictures. WFH for the writer today, setting a couple appointments but then distracted by the Key Behaviors Project and the imagination of travel, taking pictures, wanting more coffee so I skip downstairs remembering that cute Nurse made cold brew yesterday. Fill tumbler…
3:40 PM
Back from baseball. Exhausted from heat, and listening to people talk. And talk. Talk more. Go back and forth about whatever in that expected and airy, lazy laugh and “Ha ha huh….. yeah yeah yeah”, the soccer mom/baseball dad language. Nothing against it, just when it’s so trite, I glaze. Barely energy to type. Relax,…

Indecision. 11:38 Cleaning the Archive, that weird but intriguing closet or storage space, or para-room in the master bedroom. Thought about moving this desk in there, but then put a knife through the Composition of my indecision. Typing in room, coffee and not espresso, my mood calm and SELF assembled. No negatives. SELF.CARE… the day’s…

Note2SELF …
8:58 AM. Walked to Noto, treated self to a latte. Still waking.
Can tell the thinking is slow and not yet with up wheels. Starting the week off with the Curriculum of SELF-CARE. What the Nurse told me long ago is the one thing we all need to invest in, more. Starting a new Sales Trainer log on phone, first thoughts are Explore and ‘Find Your Answers’. …
morning-ing journaling
8:57 AM Windsor…. Been a while since I’ve written in this spot on a Saturday. Emma and Henry up, Jack here later, much later. Emma with a game, and the day is structured. Latte singing to me. Didn’t work last night as desired, and I’m more than at peace with it. Wanted all the time…
The dog.
Guilting me as I leave.
Class done. My strongest performance since coming back to the company. 2:46 PM
Ran at lunch, little more than 5k. Challenging SELF to at least 5k/day. Today’s run was a bit of a struggle. Hot, and I felt tired, or even out of shape. Not sure why. Slept fine last night. Leaving at 4, I think. Or close to. Getting Emma and Hen at 7:30, then to the…
