I meant to reply sooner, but the week got busy and I kept thinking I would have a proper moment to answer. I did check the schedule though, and I can make time later in the afternoon if that still works for you.

I remember you asking whether I preferred the shorter route or the one with fewer turns, and honestly I like the easier option when I am trying to keep things simple. If the weather stays mild, walking part of the way sounds fine too.

I also finished that book I mentioned, and the ending was calmer than I expected. It tied everything together without feeling dramatic, which I appreciated. If you still want it, I can pass it along next time I see you.

Let me know what day feels easiest. I am flexible this week, and I would rather pick something relaxed than overplan every detail from the start.

I was actually thinking about that same question this morning, and my answer is probably simpler than I made it sound before. I do better when I can decide on one plan and stick to it instead of keeping several possibilities open.

Yesterday I tried that small routine we talked about where I put everything for the next day in one place before dinner, and it helped more than I expected. This morning felt calmer, and I did not spend time hunting for things at the last minute.

If you want, we can keep the whole thing casual and confirm only the basics first. I do not mind adjusting once we know what the day feels like. I would rather leave room for real life than crowd the calendar.

Send me a note when you have a minute. I am around, and I am happy to keep this easy.
