One Good Thing: The last four or five days have been sunny, occasionally windy, but not super-cold. I'm trying not to get too excited about spring, however, my allergies are kicking up so I think it's actually coming. Hurrah!
One Funny Thing: Watched a "memory" video on Facebook this morning and have, as a result, had "Baby Shark" stuck in my head all day.
One Weird Thing: This book I'm reading--Million Mile Road Trip*--is really trippy (no pun intended) and I think I might need to be high to fully get into the spirit of it. Mostly I'm finishing it to see what other random weirdness the author throws in.
One God Thing: It's Lent. At work, someone is fasting for ‘Alá’ which makes my paltry no-booze-extra-praying seem pretty weak. No way could I do what she's doing: no food and not even water from sunup to sundown for three weeks!
One Music Thing: I cued up the Mary Martin version of The Sound of Music album on Spotify and sang it through while I paid bills today. I'm definitely weird.
One Book Thing: I did NOT enjoy the Pullman book.* It was all scenery movement, getting people into position for the last book and confusing and sad and boring. Now I'm reading a book that's more interesting but less well-written and having to adjust to that.

Sunday night
One Good Thing: Two full weekend days of sunshine and (relatively) warm outdoor temperatures. Neighbors in their garages cleaning and doing warm weather things. Absolutely glorious.
One Funny Thing: Beast was delightful today in the car. We drove to [resort town north of us] to look at the lake. No walking--too much wind--but blue sky, signs of the ice breaking up a bit, and just really lovely. He was 'sneaking' DD Munchkins and did not want lunch.
One Weird Thing: One of Beast's hall-mates invited herself into his room while I was waking him up this morning because she wanted to beg a couple of Munchkins. Then she wouldn't leave, so I had to tell her Beast was changing clothes so she needed to leave. As I wheeled her out, she said I reminded her of her mom, who died. So did her dad. [she's at least a decade older than me so, I mean...]
One God Thing: I gave up booze for Lent. I'm trying to read a devotional in the morning and there's a poster thingy that was handed out at Bible Study last week, so I'm looking at that in the evenings. So far, super easy evening activities; mornings have been a little more difficult to remember.
One Music Thing: I need to add some tunes to [Beast]'s playlist on Spotify. There's gotta be 200 songs, but we've listened to it a lot and I'm tired of them all. Hello, more late 70s-early 80s tunes!
One Book Thing: Still lumbering through the Philip Pullman book. I need to re-read the first trilogy; I've forgotten so much.
