the end of the year that turned

 tuesday:

a long morning getting the car sound sorted out, but with no internet at the access park coffee shop  so i read a bit and didn't make any progress. also, i forgot we'd scheduled a meeting with mr q but fortunately we were able to get together (virtually) after i got back and he flooded us with inspiration while bringing us in to a project he's working on. timing, though! it's really hard to avoid distractions as it is...

a fun sushi evening with my cousin and his girlfriend followed by another early night

 wednesday:

gd left me alone with mr smear in the morning, so we finished watching babe (beautiful)  and watched a bit more of david attenborough: a life on our planet.

the physio beat us up for the first time in a while.

mr smear and i brought our neighbour's kid into the dance dance revolution fold.

starting lord of the rings.

today:

it was a big relief meeting our neighbour's cleaning lady, she worked well and with a good attitude. the tension diffusion was palpable. otherwise, it was yet another day of getting very little done, mainly because i've been thoroughly exhausted.

today we watched big hero 6 for the first time! it's glorious. it's glorious. it's right up there with into the spider-verse. sailor came over for a bit, we argued about what constitutes scientific evidence. it's tough discussing something like that with someone who's day-job is manipulation...

mr smear is in bed, gd is sore, i'm exhausted. but we're going to try to watch wonder woman 1984 now anyway. good or bad, i feel like we're bringing in 2021 the right way.

happy new year! i hope and pray that this will be a year that brings real change to how we prioritize and organize our lives on this tiny planet.

For auld lang syne, my jo,
for auld lang syne,
we'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
