walkitoutI did sheets, since we were due to do those prior to our trip and it’s not like it magically happened while we were gone.
A. continues her decluttering efforts. Also, I rearranged some things to get power strips off the floor in the master bedroom.
A. had a portal playdate, to make up for not having one the previous Sunday while we were driving to Canada.
I had a delightful call with J., to make up for the missed call on Wednesday, while we were driving back home from Canada.
I did a long walk by myself with a nice long chat with R. I realized in the course of that conversation that I have a _really_ big problem communicating with people. People tell me about crazy person interaction. I am super understanding and agreeing and validating about crazy person. _Then_ I try to work out the details of exactly what happened and attempt to work out what the crazy person was thinking. I am _not_ trying to justify, explain or excuse. I _am_ trying to work out the internal machinery of The Crazy, so I can hopefully spot it earlier in the process in the future. BUT the conversational partner does _not_ get that at all! Ooops! I need to do a better job of explaining why I am trying to figure out what I am trying to figure out.
