Sometimes… when you create a list of possible activities… it is empowering to suddenly realize you don’t have to only pick one thing. Movie? Shopping? Exercise?
Yesterday. All three. Enjoyed a third viewing of Ryan Gosling in Project Hail Mary. The cinematic tears, teaching how to hug, and the humor were still amazing. Noticed more unseen small things on a repeat watch. I left the theater and checked out the music section at Target. But section it is not. I may have found five CD? Typed the titles to Claude—too lazy to research individually on my own—“based on what you know about me, tell me which one I might like best.” I drove to New Berlin; Escape is my new stereo. Luke Combs, The Way I Am — yeah, No. Taylor Swift, Midnights — I don’t know. And, I didn’t know the resistance pool closed at 9 pm, and I didn’t know that the lap lanes closed at 10 pm. I worked hard: ten minutes of the lazy river, an hour of laps. Exhausted.
Lessons learned. Spend more time telling Claude my music choices and work out hard more often at the end of the day. I slept a full eight hours for the first time in … how long? Woke up with meltdown disappeared. Focused and productive at my job. My afternoon off, probably isn’t absolutely necessary.
Why is it much easier to tell someone to, “chill out,” than to describe yourself as, “chill?”
A successful request to switch Tim appointment back one hour…apparently earns someone a gold star. Timing is everything. Need right time to manipulate time.

Luck, Heard a Silenced Phone. I may not have heard the phone call from the the scheduler. Seems a bit serendipitous that my conference call ended and I was able to notice the very muted ring and vibration.
