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…
Cleaning. That’s the goal this morning. Not physical cleaning of like things on the desk although there’s a bit of that too, yes.
More of a life acknowledgment and appreciation. What I see, day to day. Today I attack stress, and give myself some relief. Breathe, don’t freak out, be more fucking honest with yourself. This is something that scribbled in my head yesterday, literally writing itself and for some reason I didn’t take the however many…
Full heart, after last night’s family dinner. Family, smiles, and more victory lap language. Nothing stopping me…. Ever.
In office. One coffee then switching to water. After yesterday’s run, entertaining a break today, rest. Or, a really slow run? Shit I don’t know, decide later. Objective for today, sales content… more than I can count or tell, and building on the content constructed on the drive. Nurse empowering me, reminding me of my…

1-30-26 And, FREE. 06:23 Nurse and I pop early after going to bed earlier than our norm. Counting down till Peet’s Coffee visit. Me suddenly feeling tired and trying to wake myself up with espresso. Yesterday, finally happening. Read the book, you’ll see what. FREE. That should give you a suggestion. Today class and later…
Laptop died. Back in CA now.
Work tomorrow, going to be a busy week. Not sure how ready for it I am. Strength. Have to keep repeating it to myself after the conference. Everything is this CST role… notes now for Wednesday, week’s first day. After this convention and seeing what others can do, have done, I should be further along. …
