Taking a breath, a pause and collecting SELF. Listening to the activity of the office. Every voice I hear is cheerful, relaxed even when in the pulse of productivity. Notes for next week’s session.. Taking some of my own instruction and carving it into my habits and mood, everything about me this Thursday. Clear, CONFIDENT,…

In office. Finally. Thinking in terms of modules, education. In EVERYTHING.
10:00 Coffee #1… module #1. Patience. Keep movement consistent, but be patient. Be mindful of the process. No time to settle into the day, I just start writing it. Reaching out to B, trying to set up a meeting or quick call later. Growth versus Acquisition in the MDU space. Office quiet, just as the…

Meeting going over by 30, so 90 mins total. Too hot outside to run. SHIT. Should have hit the pavement early. But… no excuses. Own the reality. 12:08 Lunch done. Landscapers doing their landscaper things with loud blades and engines, propellers and what be so no power nap. Yes I was thinking of taking one…

Wallet Stillness
Early morning for the Nurse and I. She needing to be at some conference, committee she’s on, early. And at a different campus. Me getting home and drafting something I need send later. Not letting it distract me from writing…. From building. Singularizing. Coffee on the mind. The coffee place down the Road and ……
CURRICULUM – Sight …..
Up before 7 and went to gym, ran over 5.5 miles on tread. A little unexpected thunder and lightning, rain, surprising the Nurse and I. 9:22 at the desk, espresso done after cold brew at Peet’s, our typical coffee date and I’m moving faster. Today’s curriculum about seeing where I am and what I’m…
Soon. All I’m going to say.
Found a new attitude and perspective, early this morning after an odd dream I can’t remember now but I felt uncomfortable and hesitant not so much scared to fall back into any peculiar or startling image-scape. NEWNESS, like the Students at SRJC and I used to talk about with Kerouac’s Road. Writer, new experiences…. The…
1:44 PM. Kids inside with me, well over fucking 90 outside.
Taking time to write in the DECIDED project. Life is good, I messaged the Nurse. And it is. I can only credit her with most if not all of it. Not thinking, after his morning’s MeMeeting. The deliberation is a stall. Not sure a tactic but habit I cut like excessively long hair. Hear the…
Emma behind me having conversations with herself and imaginary characters over the button pushing and sounds of a toy cash register.
I smile and laugh a little to myself, she doesn’t hear me. Just continues with her business and play. “What kind of business are you running, Mama?” “Grocery market.” The simplicity and firmness of her answer makes me smile again. So into character, so dedicated and exploratory with her language. Finish the latte, planning day…
Kids still in bed. Latte so strong that I can’t sip it in my normal quick.
Marking calendar, organizing monies and thinking again of a business idea. Not sure what and honestly I’m somewhat afraid to find one, or have one speak to me and the search and questions stop. Feel like I did in college, and funny this started yesterday with me stopping in Redwood Café for a quick Diet…
Vacaville. 11:14
Calm and monitoring SELF, emotions and thoughts and where my visions reside. Nurse readying for a birthday party, with food trucks I’m told. Jealous, a food truck sounds incredible right now. Just a touch after 10, oh well. May write in Sonoma, on the Square somewhere. Poetry only I’m promising myself – MUSIC. Songs, new…
journal……..
8-29-25 WFH today. Couple communications already sent. Yesterday, Construction…. Today, SURVEY. What do I mean by that…. Surveying the scape. All details, inventorying all actions, where I go and what I do. This morning coffee with the Nurse and her youngest at Noto, haven’t been in weeks if not months. Talking and realizing the promise…
