One Good Thing: BLUE SKY! Although it seems to be fading to white now, but at least I saw a little blue today.
One Funny Thing: I'm listening to a bunch of Max Collins short stories about Nate Heller, set in Chicago in the 30s and 40s. The slang, the locations, the turns of phrase...I'm all Chicago-gal now. Plus my city makes an appearance in one of the stories, which was startling. And amusing.
One Weird Thing: Hmm, aside from the fact that I started this hours ago and have had a nap since then....
One God Thing: "But you, take courage! Do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded." (2 Chronicles 15:7)
One Music Thing: This guy is amazing.
One Book Thing: I just finished the latest by Philip Pullman, the first prequel to the Lyra books. Now I will need to go back and read those to understand who the people in this book become in those books.

Sunday, bedtime
One Good Thing: Check that time-stamp. I'm going to bed at 7 p.m. the day we moved the clocks. That gives me 12 hours in which to come up with 8 hours of good, deep, restful sleep. IRL, that will end up with 5 hours of rest. And I'll be ready to crash into a coma by 4 p.m. OK, wait, this is supposed to be a good thing, so ANY sleep is good sleep.
One Funny Thing: Beast was funny today again. He was also far more understandable. And he now has a tribble with which to terrorize the hospital staff.
One Weird Thing: What, a tribble isn't weird enough? I dunno, I don't think I can do better than that.
One God Thing: "Everything's got its time; everything has a season:
Birth times, death times. Planting times, harvest times. Killing times, healing times. Times to tear things down, times to build things up. Times to cry, times to laugh Times to grieve, times to party. Times to throw stones, times to collect them up. Times to hold someone close, times to hold back. There's a right time to turn the whole place upside down till you find something, a right time to write it off as lost. There's a time to hoard, there's a time to chuck things out; a time to tear things up, a time to repair things. Sometimes it's best to shut your mouth; other times it's crucial you speak up. There's a right time to love, a right time to hate; a right time for war, a right time for peace." (Ecclesiastes 3:1-14, Street Bible)
One Music Thing: I know the lyrics to every song released in the mid- to late-70s, at least the songs they play on the 70s station on XM. I'm wondering about my childhood and how much time I actually spent listening to the radio...(a lot!).
One Book Thing: If I decline any further in my reading skills, I will be reading Harlequins. Seriously, I'm hard-pressed to enjoy even the most mindless of entertainment these days. Maybe I should just give up and read some Nancy Drew and regress completely.

Thursday morning, early
One Good Thing: Daylight Savings starts Sunday. I get an extra hour. You know I'll be using it for sleep.
One Funny Thing: Driving home last night from the hospital on rain-slicked roads at night--at 70 mph--it occurred to me that listening to old Lore podcasts might not be a good choice for the drive.
One Weird Thing: I have had some seriously weird dreams. Last night involved a seriously hot Danish guy named Gunnar and my old neighborhood where I grew up. And Sparky. Yesterday morning, it was creepy kittens being born. My brain is working too hard.
One God Thing: "Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful." (Colossians 3:15) I definitely need this today. I think today I'm going to (try to) be the sinuses.
One Music Thing: I think I need to cool the podcast listening at work today and get back to tunes. I haven't listened to anything much this week at all.
One Book Thing: I'm throwing in the towel on the current audiobook. It's very good but too "thinky" for me right now. I need to stick to plot-driven, no-subtext stuff. Plus, this one is about death in a very interesting-but-unhelpful way.
