the good, the bad and the gummy

aerospace:

the good: we all like each other and want to proceed. the bad: a surprise upset in yesterday's news that's sent the company into a bit of a spin (a funding setback for their biggest customer).

politics:

the good: it looks like the ceasefire might hold this time. the bad: the government is trying to siphon funds from the big, secular taxpaying cities to the religious nuts and zealots. 

dental hygienist:

the good: gd and i made our appointments, and managed to get to the school (just) in time afterwards. the gummy: our teeth are in a better state than before, but it was still a very scrapey and bleedy experience.

my wristwatch:

the bad: i wasn't able to connect to it with my phone, so i tried a factory reset and for an hour or two it looked like i'd bricked it. the good: i eventually found a video with some helpful suggestions that rescued it. 

work:

the good: a couple of minor positives, but a big relief that i hadn't done anything about the unpleasant feelings from thursday evening after learning that my boss is off sick. the gummy: not making much progress during a rather distracted day.

blogger / blogspot:

the gummy: wtf google. a bunch of my old posts were flagged as violating terms and conditions by the auto-reviewer and were taken down. some of them had links to sites that had once been legit, some of them were considered too racy. some of them were marked as spam, which made absolutely no sense whatsoever. 

family:

the good: getting gd through some steps in the process of making an allergist appointment. mr smear's enthusiasm for "leveling up" in his drawing. a generally good day.
