what's needed at the time

Anna taught in the city tonight, so I watched the kid for a little while before Cem came to take over. (I was originally going to the dojo, but some friends had dinner in Sunnyvale, and I realized I needed some socializing and I see them far less than I see the dojo.)

My shift involved dinner, and I discovered that even if you're in a funk, nothing motivates you to take action like having to feed a small person before they get really obnoxious. As my friend Eric said, "Good job preventing your funk from becoming a living, screaming nightmare."
