Sweet Music

 Some happy things from today:

• At work, the music was good and I was able to sing along with some of the tunes while I worked.  This is happening more often lately and I like it.  Last week I even heard a sea shanty by Stan Rogers!
• Over the weekend my protégé gave me some of my favorite Oreos.  They are a wonderful after meal snack. I just try not to think about the gluten.  😉

Double Stuff is important!

• Somehow, even though I didn't sleep super well last night, I was able to motivate myself to do dishes.  Yay clean dishes!
• Today is my deceased father's ninetieth birthday.  For this I share a happy memory of singing with him and my mom on long drives.  Weirdly, I don't remember if my brothers sang along or not.  Maybe, because I was the youngest, I was in front between my parents and the boys would have been in the back, I just didn't pay attention to them.

Song Stuck

Happy Thursday things:

• There is a song that plays at work sometimes that gets stuck in my head (Weezer-Undone–The Sweater Song). I played it while doing some dishes and Gideon decided he liked the tune. It became my response to things and thus a running joke for the evening. I would occasionally burst out into song singing, "If you want to destroy my sweater…" Supposedly the way to get a song unstuck is to listen to it. I have listened to it, watched the video, and read the lyrics. It is still stuck.  This evening, it was fun too.
• My nap ended tonight with a phone call from Keziah. The rest of the family are sick with a cold and she was asking me to make soup for dinner. While eating, we watched a weird Star Trek Voyager episode where two of the characters evolved into different beings. No actual sweaters seemed to be destroyed in the episode though.
