In office, and apparently it’s an optional office day.  I have a funnel review tomorrow, pretty sure I know how that’s going to go.  Not thinking about it now.

Three wine-related communications today.  After visiting that winery in Suisun Valley with the Nurse that world pulls at me more and more, since I left VV this morning.

Put things on calendar, not sure how long I want to be in office.  No, making myself stay here.  Behind on novel, but I can’t focus on it right now.  Need to do that writing in the early, early morning.  Didn’t today obviously so something on calendar, but in code – “In the Field, TBD”.

Seeing this as a bit of a game, this return to PASSION, Happiness, excitement for the day-to-day.

It’s not wine, it’s not writing, it’s Mental Health…. LOVE of the Story, MY story.

Some of the others come into the office, meeting cancelled.  Monday starting off in the favor of this writer hungry for passion and equilibrium.  This morning had the fantasy where I didn’t have to leave the Nurse’s house and could write from, take her to brunch, come back home for 500 more words and call it.;

That is the peace I’m after.  Of course wine is the Beat, I know that, any reader knows that.  The winery yesterday, the lady who helped us, Allie, smiling and so excited about the wines, mentioning a couple behind her that was grumpy and not receptive to her smile and energy.  Urged her to blow it off, focus on the interactions that are rich and reciprocal in joy.

09:06, after that one conversation that will give me the page count I’m lacking for NaNo.  Doing something that consumes you in the best way.  My life’s story and struggle to several degrees has been work.

The work week.  Jobs, more than career(s)…. I had the classroom, the vineyard, and gave it up to try something new.  Now I begin the rewrite to save my life.

Three new conversations today.  Know where I’m starting.  My brand and Story, all of it.
