hey thanks for checking in about the weekend plan. honestly it got a little sideways but ended up being really good. we went to that park with the long wooden bridge and just sat there for a while watching the water. then later someone had the idea to make a fire in the backyard and we ended up staying out way too late. not sure if it was the fresh air or what but I slept better than I have in weeks. anyway I meant to call you back the other day but time got away from me. hope your side of things has been quieter than mine. let me know if you still want to do that hike next month. I think the trail should be clear by then. and bring that book you mentioned if you remember. oh also my neighbor dropped off a bunch of extra blankets and said we could keep them so if you need one for the cabin trip just say the word. talk soon.
we also found a little corner market near the bridge that sells fresh lemonade and soft pretzels. nothing fancy but the whole afternoon felt simple in the best way. you would have liked it. maybe we can go back before it gets too cold. I will keep you posted on plans. take care and drive safe when you head out this week.

I got your note about the team meeting and yes that time shift works for me too. Tuesday is a little stacked but I can move the other call without much trouble. I keep meaning to ask what you thought of that documentary. I watched half of it and then fell asleep but what I saw was really well done. the pacing was slower than I expected but I think it needed that to actually land. so yeah I want to finish it this weekend. also the new coffee place near the library is much better than I thought it would be. the seating is weird but the drink was solid. maybe we can grab one after the meeting.
I also finally organized my desk and found three chargers I forgot I had. if you need one for your tablet let me know. one of them is the braided kind so it basically never tangles. anyway this week should be manageable. just remind me to send the notes before five. I keep forgetting that part. talk soon and try not to overload your schedule again.
