One Good Thing: They've taken the snow out of the forecast for today.
One Funny Thing: I've watched more M*A*S*H episodes in the last 6 weeks than I have in 30+ years. They aren't "funny" per se but they're like a comfy blanket and warm socks on a cold day.
One Weird Thing: Now that I'm "officially" diabetic, my eyesight seems to have stabilized for the first time in my life. Yesterday's appointment showed no changes to my Rx since last year and not much change in the year prior to that. Yay.
One God Thing: 'For “All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls, but the word of the Lord endures forever.” That word is the good news that was announced to you.' (Peter 1:24-25)
One Music Thing: It's been BeeGees week this week: on the drive home from Milwaukee the other day, I hit them twice on different XM stations. Then at work on Spotify shuffle Thursday. And on XM again twice on Thursday and Friday. And yesterday at the eye doctor.
Yes, I do still know all the words.
One Book Thing: I'm enmeshed in two very British books, one taking place in the past, the other in a steampunk alternative present (which has elements of historical stuff). Both take place near Oxford as well. I'm confused. I need to finish one or t'other of them and move on to random mysteries again. Somehow, those are easier for me to differentiate, although sometimes the werewolves from one series bleed into the fallen angels from another. [I read weird books lol]

Sunday evening
One Good Thing: I was granted 3 extra hours today unexpectedly. I thought I worked, but once I got there it turned out that I didn't. So that was nice.
One Funny Thing: Beast is interacting in his "normal" goofy way with the stuffed animal I brought to the hospital for him. It's pretty funny when he gets to laughing.
One Weird Thing: I could live without his weird eruptions into tears at random times. It's confusing everyone.
One God Thing: "What a joy it is to find just the right word for the right occasion!" Proverbs 15:23
One Music Thing: Sparky seems to think that I don't know ANYthing about music. He went to a concert last night; when I asked who he saw, his response was "You wouldn't know him." Oh? "Yeah, Andrew W.K." Uhm, yeah, duh, he's been around awhile. Definitely heard of him. Not a fan, but jeez, dude, I'm not ignorant!
One Book Thing: Finished three books this weekend.

Friday a.m.
One Good Thing: It's Friday. In the real world, that means a restful weekend. In my world, that means four hours of driving to visit Beast over the next two days, unsnarling more medical and legal issues, working 3.5 hours on Sunday and a missing the Packer game. I guess it's good to be busy, right?
One Funny Thing: I got nothin'.
One Weird Thing: I haven't cried in days. I need to cry; I can feel it, like when you need to use the bathroom in a place where there are no bathrooms to use. It's not painful yet, but it could get there. And I just can't cry.
One God Thing: "Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me." Psalm 51:12
One Music Thing: Jim Croce just came on Spotify (at work) singing "I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song" and ... yeah:

Every time I'm near you
I just run out of things to say
I know you'd understand

Wednesday evening
One Good Thing: Coded messages that I can't understand from Beast. It would be better news if I could crack the code, but I'll take "random letters" too.
One Funny Thing: I can't think of anything. Seriously, I can always find the absurd, but my eyesight is poor right now, I guess.
One Weird Thing: I'm still not crying very much. I guess that's ok, but, boy, when that other shoe drops, it's going to be brutal.
One God Thing: I keep thinking about the 99 sheep that Jesus left to go rescue the one lost sheep. The thoughts aren't that deep, but I do wonder why I'm so focused on the one person despite the dozens I've got in my corner. It's a little perverse.
One Music Thing: "That Girl Is On Fire" (Alicia Keys) was playing from the hospital loudspeaker as I left the building today. Seems appropriate.
One Book Thing: I'm in the midst of Trashy Novel Nirvana: four very different mysteries currently underway, and one waiting in the wings.

Saturday morning
One Good Thing: I'm reading a LOT more! In the past three weeks, I've read more books than in the previous couple of months. Partial reason: the TV isn't on all the time.
One Funny Thing: Beast appeared to flip off James and Don (the nephews) yesterday, on cue. Even he seemed to be giggling.
One Weird Thing: I've had a low-grade headache for about 27 straight hours, and a rampant case of tummy weirdness. Not exactly nausea, not heartburn, just feel bloated and full even when I'm hungry.
One God Thing: O God, you are my God. At dawn I search for you. My soul thirsts for you. My body longs for you in a dry, parched land where there is no water. (Psalm 63:1)
One Music Thing:
One Book Thing: See first response. I've caught up to my GoodReads goal for the year (which I had previously lowered from 100 to 75). I may have to raise it back up at this pace!

Sunday morning
One Good Thing: Sunny days and movement/squeezing from the right hand yesterday!
One Funny Thing: Last night's dream about making nail polish from supplies purchased online was pretty crazy.
One Weird Thing: Listening in the car to an audiobook/lecture called Brain Myths Exploded while Beast is experience brain damage is probably not something most people would do.
One God Thing: "The light of God surrounds me; The love of God enfolds me; The power of God protects me; The presence of God watches over me. Wherever I am, God is." (James Dillet Freeman)
One Music Thing: I listened to BPM while driving north yesterday. Completely mindless and perfect. Only recognized one artist--Avicii--and that was just fine.
One Book Thing: Aside from the Brain Myths thing, I didn't do much "reading" at all yesterday, except in bed: still working on the OED book.
