Break on through...

Woke to a sore arm, but made the most of the early rise by getting out to the cottage and revising a couple of old manuscripts.

Some long conversations with siblings in the interim. Looking ahead to more peaceful days when the estate stuff is over.

Broke off for a nice workout at the gym a little after noon. Going for core stuff now until I can get the arm back in action. Range of motion improves all the time, but with it there’s more pain. Be nice to find a balance again.

The big fires are still burning. Air quality is off-the-charts bad, the sky is a yellow brown, and haven’t seen the mountains in two or three days. Read today containment was improving, but with the week ahead in the high-nineties every day, who knows how long it’ll last. Just gotta hope for the best.

Gonna hope for a quiet night, good night’s rest, and another early rise. Minimize the distractions and move forward.
