I looked over the schedule again and I think the earlier time works better for me after all.
I can be there a little before noon if that gives us a few extra minutes to get settled and talk through everything calmly.
The later slot would be fine too, but I know afternoons can get crowded, and I’d rather keep things simple and easy if possible.
I also remembered to bring the notebook I mentioned, so I can write down the details this time instead of trying to remember them afterward.
If anything changes on your side, just send a quick note and I’ll adjust. I’m keeping the day fairly open, so there’s some flexibility.
I’m glad we’re finally pinning this down because I’ve been meaning to follow up properly and didn’t want to leave it hanging any longer.

I checked the plant by the window this morning and it finally looks like it’s recovering from the weird week we had.
I moved it a few feet back because I think it was getting too much direct sun in the afternoon, and the leaves already seem less stressed.
It’s funny how small changes like that make such a visible difference when everything else looks exactly the same.
I also sorted the top shelf while I was there, so now the notebooks are stacked neatly instead of leaning into each other every time I reach for one.
If you still want to stop by this weekend, that would be a nice time since everything is a bit tidier and calmer now.
I’m not planning anything complicated, and I’d be glad to keep the conversation easy and relaxed if that sounds good to you.
