Kids home with me.  Jack and Emma’s district and I think others in SR have the day off.  Henry has preschool later, at noon.  Opening meeting in 14 minutes.  Packing for trip tomorrow with Nurse to my old ‘hood.  Excited, and eager to see how it’s changed since I last went in Dec of ’22 for a company dinner with the prop tech company people.  So happy to be out of that outfit.

Espresso, and coffee in the batter’s box.  Meditating with these keys.  Nurse messaging me about tension at her work, after it being peaceful for so long, and it’s one person causing all the toxicity.  Shocker.  Why do negative people so easily have impact sometimes?  The Nurse doesn’t deserve that, nor do the smiling and happy loving Nurses around her.  Makes me think.

Learning more about people, through her.  And, frankly, some people where I work.  Will write more free on that later.  And I should.  More notes… Henry waking up so happy and only wanting Paw Patrol Toys, a show on YouTube where kids and adults play with toys and do voices while they move the stuffed animals or plastic figures.

Jack playing his game, and Emma watching something.  Me trying to get work done, and type notes and write where I can.  Fierce inner-push this morning to detail everything I can as a single dad, and attempting to coparent with an absolute fucking narcissist.

Peace in the house, at the moment.  Espresso done and I am AWAKE.
