Friday random elevenish: “there’s a light” edition
So I haven’t done one of these in a while. I’ve had a rough couple of months. Really busy time at work, some personal health challenges, some communal health challenges (hello, COVID round two!) that killed some much-anticipated plans (goodbye, ConGregate), some puppy growing pains, and a national and global political situation that’s been looking down-right apocalyptic.
Things have pretty dark, to be honest.
This week, though, watching the outpouring of excitement and enthusiasm in Democratic politics, the sheer disarray the party finds itself in, is infectious, and I’m maybe seeing some light at the end of the tunnel.
Watching my friends here on the left side of center, both in person and online, smiling, feeling relief, and, dare I say it, optimism…it’s a good feeling.
Oh yeah, I totally kicked Microsoft Project’s ass yesterday at work, so there’s that. I’m riding high, at least for the moment.
As for tunes this week, a nice mix; a little modern, a little classic, and a tune at #9 from the concert that was one of my first dates with my lovely spouse of twenty-six years and eight days (yeah, missed posting about that as well when we were sick…). I’ll take it.
