Lately he's had a lot to think about.
It's been some time since Finch's disappearance and John has dealt with it better than he could have expected, although he knows he has people like Karen and Dutch to thank for that, but it's left him with a lot of unfinished business. The team needs some kind of structure, a place to really begin again, and for so long he's felt incapable of doing that. Finch had been the leader and John had been his loaded gun. It doesn't register as an insult to him, he knows what he's good at and where he excels, but now he's left in a position where he has to do more. He has to be better.
So he's trying.
It's not going to be easy and it's not going to happen overnight, but he is trying. Having spoken with Peggy and Dutch both, he has an idea of where he wants to go, but that, too, is something that will take some time. He'll have to spend weeks or maybe even months scoping out possible additions to the team, people who are more than just good with computers, and see where they can go from there.
Today, though, it's his day off from work and for once he wants nothing more than to get a sandwich from the place he likes near his apartment and then to actually allow himself a day off. It's just luck when he spots Lila down the block a little and he raises his hand to wave at her, then gestures for her to join him.
Maybe if he's lucky, he's just found a partner for lunch.
