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…
Meeting over a bit ago. Next one at 13:00. And till then….
Somehow have to find time for 5k but my legs aren’t ready yet. And, I’m not in the mood for the cold. YET. Thinking of getting breakfast. I know just what. Treating the writer this morning. And why not. Yeah, imagine that… doing something nice for yourself. Treating YOU as you deserve to. Yeah, I…
Brevity. The concise, doing more with less.
Current thought, listening to this new kind of weird lofi trip-hop-y track. “Charles”, by Beanfield. Honestly never heard of it. Not much a fan, so NEXT— Sales Training notes delivered to one of the teams. A Lead offers some insight, something I didn’t think of. This is what I love. Not just about Sales but…
08:27…. let’s challenge ourselves to something new today.
Something… strenuous, challenging, truly a stretch or strain. One beneficial and educating. Nothing listed here, and no promises. Just writing my mode for the day. Reviewing yesterday, working at the new spot. But, today, not moving. Part of the plan, day’s design. Writing freely, and trying to talk to this page differently. Looking at yesterday’s…
Changed Design Day
Different writing seat, out of the house. Downtown Vacaville after an errand. What am I looking for? What is the destination? Maybe I don’t want one. Starting to see that trouble often materializes from an obsession with finality. Wanting to finish, wanting to reach ‘it’, wanting a reward or pay out, a broken ribbon. I’ve…
10k, just like that. Another case of not wanting to run and making this writer get out there.
Was thinking like a fighter on the back 3 miles. Like I had to, the Me v ME idea. I felt it and believed it. At the desk. 13:08. About to get in shower and have lunch somewhere but, no idea where. Work at the coffee place down the street. OR… Stay where you are. …
Tuesday.
And poetry speaking to me, calming me and putting a tone of confidence about this writer that he hasn’t felt in…. The GM of my day, life, business, and education practice at Sonic. How am I this elevated? Last year, depending on the Universe to gift me something. Till I realized that NO— I need…

Monday December 15th, 2025 09:37 At the desk. Working on the Report Card project, part of the 30/60/90 for the Sales Teams. Going into new year, which in my thoughts has already got off the ground, I hold myself to simple markers. Could be as simple as, “Get up from the chair once today, go…
A day of ME.
That’s what I’m promising. Appropriate precursor for the new year. Finally at the desk after making a second pass at Peet’s. Just a small coffee. Now here, meditative. Not expecting anything. Just intaking the morning and this room. Building my fortitude, or compiling character in a way I never have. I can see myself changing. …
