Post Op Day 1, home

iPad watching Kevin Hart comedy
Searched Track & Field and it’s not until tomorrow. Then found Kevin Hart’s 2022 Comedy special.
33-second video: Couch potato training commences.

Priorities are a mindset.

dad

Your priorities are by design or by default.

If they are by design, you are nodding your head in agreement right now.

If your priorities are by default, you’re thinking, “huh?”

PS. From today’s two videos you can see in real time i’m putting world-class couch-potato ahead of world-class laughter. Cancelled today’s lunch meeting with former Disney Institute colleagues. i cannot trust myself, in their presence, to behave myself.

Second Eye Surgery, home

Handwritten note from two small children
Hand-made and hand-delivered around dinner time tonight.
Four gourmet cookies
Fancy, gourmet cookies make you smile even if you don’t like cookies. We happen to like cookies. And smiling.

Sleep is a superpower.

Outside while inside?

Back of a house
Look at that 10’ x 10’ concrete pad. Things have transformed since 30 years ago.

To be outside is to be inspired.

dad

Can you be outside while inside?

Yes.

If you understand this, you know.

If you don’t understand this, maybe someday you will. Your call.

Here’s the best hint:

25-second video: We are inside, yet outside. Florida screened-in patios (with a roof for rain and sun protection) provide an extended living space from the heated and cooled “under-roof” space.

Easy to complete the second time. After three weeks from the initial completion, nothing has changed.

Started cancelling everything for 2023.

Spent the afternoon on small ticket items, and bigger ticket items…

Cancelled for a future credit, the one-way ticket. Seems like only five years ago that fee would be roundtrip fare.

Always remember, a long day is a blessing.

dad

A long day.

Emotionally draining day.

Insanely grateful day.

Surrounded by talented local and national experts to help with planning, logistics, changes, etc.

Could have used a six-mile walk but getting zero miles today is still ok, all things considered.

Blessed to be exhausted.

Bonus was watching the final Season three Ted Lasso episode.

Everything about today makes me feel like the luckiest person alive.

Makes one wonder if every day can feel like this.

Giddy (and) UP

Puget Sound. Honeymoon. We’ve been filling our “Adventure Book” even before we got married.

Hoping for the best is an awesome mindset.

dad

Giddy about returning to Glacier in as little as a week.

UP is our favorite Pixar movie.

Adventure is out there.

We know it.

We love doing it.

Grateful for hoping for the best because it led me to hold off on canceling every reservation.

Thank goodness.

Hoping Friday’s eye exam is the green light to (a return to our Summer 2023) Adventure.

Our packed and organized rental van is waiting for our arrival.

Note: We’ve been paying for the van even though no one is driving it.
