Thursday night

One Good Thing: Podcasts in general. Actually, Spotify, because if I get tired of talking I can switch back over to music.
One Funny Thing: Well, there was a patron asking about Sue Fragettees yesterday....
One Weird Thing: I dreamed that Patrick Stewart was the new host of The Price is Right, wearing really weird clothes and doing a not-very-good job of it.

One God Thing: "Create in me a new, clean heart, O God, filled with clean thoughts and right desires." Psalm 51:11
One Music Thing: Been running this through my head all day:

He ran into my knife ... ten times.
One Book Thing: I'm proofing Sparky's writing. It's (not) surprisingly well-done, though far more convoluted than it needs to be.

Sunday night

One Good Thing: Beast and I had a good "date" tonight: a stop at Ace to examine the garden and yard section, a stop at his namesake drive thru for a burger for him, a drive around some neighborhoods, and then a trip for ice cream. He was in a much better mood afterwards. And right on point, alert and oriented the whole time.
One Funny Thing:
One Weird Thing: Wandering around Ace Hardware in fear of Beast collapsing when I really need to buy a new toilet flush mechanism was weird. I was afraid to leave him to dash to the back of the store, but now I'll have to go back again on my own.

One God Thing: "Desist from anger, and forsake fury, Fret not thyself only to do evil." --Psalm 37:8 (YLT)
One Music Thing: It's astonishing how closely Evita (the musical) parallels the people in the White House right now.
One Book Thing: No changes since last night to speak of. I did stack about two shelves' worth of books on my desk today in the process of cataloging them. We've (re-)entered Skinny Book Land....yeep.

Saturday night

One Good Thing: I have rediscovered my itch to write, to track, to be able to see where I was at certain times in what becomes my history. In fact, I was all set to start a(nother) blog when I rediscovered this one. So, hi from two years down the road.
One Funny Thing: Me, running (gasp! and I mean that literally) after someone today because I found their lost phone after they'd started out the front door of work. I will never be in shape again.
One Weird Thing: The last three days at work have been super-weird. Like full-moon weird, but it's actually about new-moon time. Everything from theft to peeing on chairs to harmonica-playing to screamy, in-your-face patrons. And Beast has been nightmarish too.

One God Thing: "There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear; for fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not reached perfection in love." --1 John 4:18 (NRSV)
One Music Thing: WHYYyyy do I still have brain cells that can regurgitate random 70s pop songs in full??
One Book Thing: I'm reading three books right now, including the first audiobook I've had out in probably 2 years. Bluetooth communication between car and phone is once again non-functional. I've also got the latest Philip Pullman Lyra book and something insanely weird about an alien place called Mappyworld.
