*sends round a couple of my loyal henchmen to remind you to write your goodness list. They could use the exercise and should be difficult to miss or ignore
Sure thing, boss! (I am a henchman too, seemingly.)
- I pushed through the groggy “How can I go to work? I am so exhausted!” stage of waking up, and an actually having quite a cheery workday.
- It’s hot, but it’s hot enough that we are allowed to wear the cooler versions of our historic costume - I am mostly comfy in my short sleeves and straw hat, though alas, the bloomers, and slips, and itchy stockings must stay. :-)
- I met up for supper with my mom last night.
- I got to talk to my little niece on the phone. She is most articulate, and will be three before a cat can wink its eye.
- I have an idea for a poem. I have the meter and rhyme scheme figured out, and the repeated phrase that will function as the poem’s heartbeat, and a general idea of direction. We’ll see how it goes. (It’s also Worst Journey related, so possibly something to submit to that zine if it turns out?)
- Nice connections with friends lately.
- I found a huge carton of blueberries for very cheap yesterday. They taste so good!
- I opened that black cherry ginger ale with the proper tool when I got home, and it too tasted so good!
- … I needed to buy bandages, and realized I had a whimsical urge to buy the kids’ kind with characters on them (which we never used growing up.) I now have Anna and Elsa on my ankle.
- Three college age girls came into my building together and loved it- they said it felt welcoming!
- A man with a very strong East Anglian accent came in and told me he’s lived in Canada since 1965, but when he revisits England in wintertime, the accent suddenly comes back. I cannot imagine how pronounced it must be in winter, if this is how he sounds in summer.
