7-17-25 08:41 Launching for 5k in a bit.   Writing in the EVERYDAY journal and realized, well I just see something new.  My clear thinking is overtaking me, and seeing the scale this morning, down about 4 pounds.  From running more consistently, diet, and no wine for over a week.  I feel like another character….

Office.  Hearing everything.  Senses heightened, rereading notes from yesterday on branding, content creation.  You don’t “need” anything.  Everything for creation is already present. I’m more alert and awake and sharp and hungry than in past months, or maybe years.  Obvious why that is.  Keep the Beat in its complete keep. More coffee, first note Nurse,…

Nurse gets called in.  20:28

Collecting thoughts.  The room says so much and I ask it to keep communicating. Sparkling water #3.  Night 7 of NO wine or anything.  Can feel the shift in my character. Walking outside the office and writing in my head a manifesto on content creation and the most prominent framing is in the obvious. What…

11:57 Heading to lunch.  Long meeting and need a break.  Turns out, no run.  It’s cloud and I’m not in the running mind.  AGIAN, should have gone this morning but with interrupted sleep and tired as  tired can be, no. So, taking self to lunch.  Thinking…. Tacos?  Or the Peruvian place.  I don’t know, not…

Mindful practice saves me — and where self-assessment makes it stick. Mindfulness says: Notice what’s here. Self-assessment asks: What’s working? What’s not? Then I realize, everything is working.  Then ask, what wouldn’t be working, and what would, and to what end?  Mind going in circles, and shit maybe I’m overthinking as the Nurse always says…

08:16 in office and moving a bit slow.

Coffee helping.  The Now, this desk and the meeting at 09:00… everything in between.  Will need more coffee, for sure. $2.49 spent on coffee this morning at the Vacaville Travel Station or whatever they call it.  More than I wanted to spend on a straight coffee, and I think they raised their fucking prices, but…

inward jots…

06:34 Nurse already out, heading to Vacaville for an appointment.  LoFi on, latte left – Thanks, Babe! – and now, peace before the day starts.  Thought I’d want to take a nap, a quick collection of sleep, rest before the day taxied out but no… staying here at the keys. Olive on the floor next…
