Day 198

Well. Slept badly because of aching left arm, and woke up im full body ache. That beginners low impact tai chai inspired gentle 20 mins has set every muscle on fire. Found some pride and determination in the sweet pain and somehow forced myself to take a rest day, but stay on my feet to make up for it. 6 odd hours of cleaning, cooking and everything shower, including a 5 min mobilize those muscles version of the full 20 to keep any body part from falling into stiffness. 

Then boy comes back, all frazzled and panicked again, cant seem to coherently get into the wealth building mortgage strategies that I spent hours modeling, and so its now called off and we will simply renew our standard traditional easy peasy peace of mind mortgage and leave wealth building complexities to the more diligent.

No sign of next steps. Still giving grace, but the timer is on. Shall we say till end of next week?

Day 21

Started thinking this on the walk. Thought I would write it then. And make these be a collection of scribbles through the day that I publish at the end of the day.

Ofcourse he is also constantly stopping to smell the proverbial roses and open to changing his course depending on the path that smells more interesting, so there is something to be noticed about the way his explorations are equal parts intentional and spontaneous. Dang, so many things to emulate with this child! In other news - good spirits, good energy, frankly some good deep sleep. My brain on almost 2 back to back days of decent sleep.
