Monday contained too many low points but yesterday really was a better, brighter day. I was grateful for a good night’s sleep and great weather and the general lowering of my stress levels. It helps that I am employed by and work with real live humans who get it. One of whom recently wrote a blog post about the plate spinning most of us do in our daily lives, while we attempt to juggle work and home and social lives: “We’re Human. Get Over It.” That’s just what I needed.
Five more good things:
- Five second films (via Jachin)
- A short video of the amazing Neil Gaiman, lobbying on behalf of The Onion
- I’ve now seen the first two episodes of True Blood season four. Minor beefs but still, many thumbs up.
- My pre-ordered copy of Gail Carriger’s Heartless was delivered. ALL HAIL THE PARASOL PROTECTORATE!
- I was thinking I’d go see guitar goddess Marnie Stern, by myself, this Sunday night but just this morning a friend mentioned that he didn’t have anyone to go with him, and he’s got an extra ticket. Perfect!
Ok, bonus round. Kate Beaton’s “Strong Female Characters” is THE BEST. And now I am hoping to forge ahead with mid-week manageable goals rather than being crushed under the weight of overwhelming stress. Some days it is a very fine line.
