No run today, again. Too much to do… One project, then another. No more new ones, I swear…. Like my head is spinning and the mind is desperate to escape itself. Was talking with a guy from another department, Logistics I think, in the break room a minute ago, telling me he’s rowing during the…

Change in the company, and there is a new Story for me…. Coffee, sound of an airplane over our Vacaville home.
Caring for SELF, in a new way. Email account having issues, and I’m refusing to let it do anything to my mood. Coffee…. The book. Work tomorrow, in the office, build more of the Story of a Consumer Sales Trainer. The notes and lessons, how it extends out of the role itself— Nothing to write…
Back from lunch with Nurse.
Article posted on bottledaux.com, with the intention and vision of turning the site into a SELF-Care content agency. Quite honestly, I had the idea this morning at Peet’s getting coffee with the Nurse and have been haunted by it before that so this morning I decided to write. Part of it, to be honest, was…
WFH. 08:52…. Dominant idea for week, OWN. From the Onus idea and stress throughout my teaching “career”.
Just got back from coffee with Nurse. Talking about the weekend we just had, how we needed it, and while her and I offered thoughts and insights and reflections, I thought about organizing the day, where I start writing. The book, not done in the next 8 days, I can almost assure. So.. stay here…
Wine. Returning…
Today the Nurse and I heading to Napa. Brunch then a tasting in Carneros area. What do I want from wine, some return? Do I want it as a “side hustle” or something more? Or, a book? Have to finish DECIDED first, I know, but I’m taking notes. I’m doing just what I urged students…
07:59 ::: Home and starting day. Coffee with the Nurse at Peet’s, I believe our first such of the week.
Been making coffee at home, which I nearly wish we would have done this morning, with the wait and the crowd in the shop. Parking before that.. But I’m here, practicing calm. Not much practice needed, I’m simply doing it. Discussion yesterday with a Senior Instructional Designer, about me offering a course at the company. …
6.38 miles. 8:28 pace. Hot, and more so than I expected. I know it’s Vacaville, but DAMN.
12:15, early lunch done. And now time to write and enjoy some time to SELF… a true dose of self-care about to materialize. One of the painters comes up. There goes the quiet. No complaints, just logging occurrence. QBR meeting went well, thinking of getting out of the house, changing scene, maybe the coffee place…

3-16-26 Office. Something on my mind, distracting me. But deciding to let it go. My focus needs to be here.. HERE. In this Sonic office. Nowhere else. Have to check calendar… back in a sec. Trying to talk myself into running. Maybe later, after lunch…. Put off a money-related appt till tomorrow, EOD. Just talking…
Inward MuZen – Post Three
Didn’t want to run, but I did. And I reach five, my per-day quota for the week. But no, I passed SIX. 6.3, actually. I almost didn’t go out. I put on running uniform, but then nearly just as soon returned it to bag and stayed put, at desk. NO. No, that is…
09:52…. Blocked off 10-10:30 for SALES CONTENT. That is specifically what it says on the cal.
SELF-TALK, part of today’s talk, 14:00 in the other building. My inner voice now becoming more of a counselor, or attorney. Yes, attorney. Counseling on right and wrong, which moves to make and which to not. Itemizing sales content pieces… $$$$$$$$ Everything looking lucrative this morning. Why, I realize this is not just sales content,…

12:33 Lunch. No run yet today, not sure I’ll have the energy to get on in today. Tomorrow and Friday I will, but today… may just have to pass. Class today, good. Wouldn’t say great, but surely it’s good. It’s me, I’m a little off and I can’t determine why. Trail mix on desk, sparkling…
10:11 ::::: Break. Just talking with this student, who used to teach high school Spanish at a charter school in the city…
Me, sleepy, fighting to be more lively. 13:57 Class done. Sitting with no music though now I think I need some. Written earlier… Note to self: You cannot train hunger.You cannot train kindness.You cannot train curiosity. You can only create a space where those things either show up or they don’t. …so true. Thought about…
