Sometimes\u2026 when you create a list of possible activities\u2026 it is empowering to suddenly<\/em> realize you don\u2019t have to only pick one thing. Movie? Shopping? Exercise?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\u2014too lazy to research individually on my own\u2014\u201cbased on what you know about me, tell me which one I might like best.\u201d I drove to New Berlin; Escape is my new stereo. Luke Combs, The Way I Am \u2014 yeah, No. Taylor Swift, Midnights \u2014 I don\u2019t know. And, I didn\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 \u2026 how long? Woke up with meltdown disappeared. Focused and productive at my job. My afternoon off, probably isn’t absolutely necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is it much easier to tell someone to, \u201cchill out,\u201d than to describe yourself as, \u201cchill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A successful request to switch Tim appointment back one hour\u2026apparently earns someone a gold star. Timing is everything. Need right time to manipulate time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
