Ten.Two Thousand, Three Hundred & Eight
Finally, a cool, foggy morning.
Delight in the foam on my decaf.
Work-from-home Wednesday is my favorite reset of the week.
They say all is good. In this instance, to not pay attention to the news.
I think if I do just these three things, it will make all the difference.
Semantics.
It's not exactly the news I wanted to hear, but it's also not unexpected. At this point, only time will tell.
Burrata and cherry tomatoes over a pistachio pesto. Ribeye, mushroom medley, and creamed spinach with a Cabernet jus. Panna Cotta with candied marcona almonds, ginger crumble, and Dolce-poached pears. Clean plate club.
92.04%. Sigh of relief.
Don’t give your power away.
Ten.Two Thousand, Three Hundred & Six
But if I didn’t do it, I would regret it.
Spiraling. Centering. Calming. Observing. Forgiving.
Not forgetting.
I pack a few decaf pods for the office.
Trouble focusing. Conflicting needs and wants. Other, more pressing and more interesting matters.
Of course, none of the six tear this time. But two out of ten is still bad when where are 1,000.
Reassurances that they will be okay.
At last night’s dinner, we talked about food and the things we love to cook and how the thing I miss most in this current stage of life is cooking really good meals. I am so out of practice that nothing tastes as good as it used to.
But I’m so close to an A that I should go for it. If I can find the energy.
Acceptance of fact, of feeling.

Must get up.
I almost forget about the English muffins. Luckily, it is a Monday. Luckily, the line is short.
It's already so hot.
Of course.
A lot of homework in very few days.
I know what a comment like that means, but I have to ignore it for now.
Not enough time.
“You create a good future by creating a good present.” - Eckhart Tolle
Just not enough room for the key lime pie.
Something different.
Ten.Two Thousand, Three Hundred & Four
Could really use another six hours.
Perfect foam on the decaf brings such delight.
Squeezing in a little bit of time to talk about life. Much needed. Sometimes you forget how nice it is to have someone who knows the you from before.
Only one more week. Just one more week.
“How are you doing everything you’re doing?”
Transformative vs. Transactional.
I just need a nap.
A screen full of women spending one hour talking about basketball, problem-solving basketball, laughing about basketball.
That mask.
Ready for it not to be 100 degrees.
Ten.Two Thousand, Three Hundred & Three
Not nearly enough sleep.
If there is a lunch, I bet it will be sandwiches. I find crackers, hummus, apples, and cheese sticks and stick them in my bag just in case.
He tells me I’m going to love Sue Phillips. I say to him that the only reason I’m coming is because of Sue Phillips.
“A competitor should be disciplined, purposeful, strategic, communicative, collaborative.”
“You are what you choose to ignore.”
“Great players want to be told the truth.”
Sandwiches.
Three hours of sleep + lunch + hot gym = falling asleep while sitting up in the bleachers.
Last-minute salad with green goddess dressing. If I’d had more time, I would have done a little bit more.
Another late night, but worth it.
