Started work tense, but mindful attention to a former colleague's call broke me free of complaint mode. Worked well past regular lunch break, then while trying to eat at my desk, the boss called: i didn't take the bait, but stepped outside and finished up on the grass, in the sun, breathing, stretching. Sore foot, but had to walk our fenceline for hazards after discovering an injured donkey--the foot required slow and conscious steps, mindful of terrain and how the bones in my feet move over its variations.
