Thursday - Generally Disconnected

Rise at 6:30, after alarms at 6:00 and 6:30. Dog being a brat this morning, have to rescue some paper that he liberated from the garbage. Kitty visitation in the bathroom for the first time in a while - Odin hasn't come in while I'm in there for over a month. She's a funny little thing.

In to work shortly after 8:00, and I realize I've lost touch with the limb rotation. A brief review and back into the left foot. I'll need to revisit this in the next week or so and synchronize with the rest of the Boston team.

Many meetings in the morning, and not feeling connected to the work at all. Some concerns about projects that I am not going to be here to see the end result. I'm fighting to stay focused on being here. Not an easy task, but then what is? Instructive to look at "being here" when in a challenging situation vs. a :non-challenging" one. My sense is that there is no difference.

Grillin' Thursday lunch up at the other building, and some light conversation with a couple of colleagues, as well as some of the folks in the business I hadn't seen in a while. More time outside in the sun, both at lunch and in the afternoon. A late afternoon ice-cream social sponsored by the department, and soon to head home.

Home, Lisa off to the dog trainers. I play a bit (do well in a free three table sit-n-go), then grab the dog and head out to the trainers as well. We suit him up with a harness and attach him to a cart. He begins this looking pretty miserable, but eventually, his sled-dog heritage kicks in and he's pulling pretty well. Some practice on turning and he should be able to do this pretty well.

Home, Subway for dinner watching Aeon Flux (movie version), then to bed.
