Control

I don’t have control over:

• The west coast fires or our horrendous air quality.
• The inability to take walks due to the above, or work on the garden at mom’s mainland house due to the above.
• The corona virus, and its effects on our personal or collective lives.
• My uncle’s advancing dementia.
• Anxiety dreams.
• Murder hornets. They don’t make shot small enough… Rock salt? 😜

I do have control over:

• How much sleep I get.
• How much news/social media I engage in.
• Exercising control over things I have quasi-superficial control of… Cleaning, organizing, weeding, bossing the cats..
• Working on estate details, which are larger than a sum of their parts.
• How much I work. Currently working on that negotiation.
