"Each little snail here
Know how to wail here
That’s why it’s hotter under the water
Ya' we in luck here
Down in the muck here under the sea"
Ashman/Menken,  Under The Sea


Monday long good day and in for gentle EH at 5:30.  Good class.

Tuesday
Email comes in from client 4:50 am; it is a six page suicide note in which I figure prominently as the savior.  Estranged family members have already called pd. Get in car not knowing where to go.  Pull over at ferry terminal numb, should not be driving.  Have an opposition due Wednesday but will be in mediation all that day and I need to focus.  Learn at 10:00 she is still alive and in hospital.  Try to squeeze one week continuance.  No dice.  Day spent spinning, but got opposition out and and started to  get mischief managed.  Training out of the question.  There are some really evil people in the world.

Wednesday
Good result at long mediation.  Tired and fried but gotta go do something.  It's late, so quick snatches
15/15 16kg seven rep pace x 60.  It is hot, humid and sticky which leads to bad callous rip on right hand, very late in the training so can finish.  Calls re family snarling as I'm pulling in, Brigid almost in tears.  Do not take sides; just take care and do not really settle in until 9:15.

Thursday
Working from home cause B is sick which means dog gets good early morning walk.  Busy, almost frantic day that does not calm down until, after 5:00, collect Brigid at 6:45 from cross-country meet, she'd done very well, fourth on her team, quite good for someone who has been doing this for three weeks.  Ongoing re distressed client.  Talk to family law counsel who confirms serious evil.  Back myself off the ledge and start getting focused; plan starts to emerge and this can start to be dealt with.  Nothing but the dog walk.

Friday
Calls starting up early but break for good but ridiculously expensive breakfast.  Pretty light day which is fine.  I need it.  4:30 Pradeep and stay for additional 50 min of 5:30 class.  He is running it slow but really hard and drenched at end.  Leave to catch 7:20 to pick Brigid up from parkour.
She is not there.  Texts and voicemails reveal a very distressed Brigid fighting with her mom, pretty ,uch constant from Tuesday.  She is at friend's house, post yoga glow evaporates.  Go home, collect her, and take her down to grandma's.  C explains how she feels and she is right in a few respects but way off imho on others.  Rose senses unhappiness and tries to curl up in my lap, 80 pounds of Labrador love. 

Saturday
Up early to pick up Brigid and get her to school for tech.  Pick her up from tech at 1:00 and try to glue her together.  She is very clear, not interested in gray areas.  Shop: costco, blockbuster (for Bridesmaids), wf, and TJ's.  Four stops in 150 minutes, get home and jam in dog walk.  Emotionally spent, do not skip.

Sunday
Yoga with B squared, 90 min.  EH rocks.
Good Thai and office for 90 min.  Up for kbells with CT, Brigid and Barry thick as thieves.

Peel off for Sing along Little Mermaid.  Best fun ever.  Folsom Street fair has dumped into Castro.  Disney on the inside and leather out.  Big big fun; Barry and Brigid ecstatic and there so am moi.

Monday.  Rest day.  Just do it.  Pounding Pradeep Friday, doubles workout Sat, yoga and kettlebells Sunday.  Yeah, just do it.  Just figure out how you'll testify at the competency hearing tomorrow for your client who tried to off herself a week ago, with all the rest of it in tow.

Down in the muck here, but it's my muck.
