Thankful Thursday

[mdlbear]

Today I am grateful for...

• Air conditioning and ice makers. I am aware of the fact that, in some places, 30°C is not considered a dangerous heat wave. Seattle is not one of those places. I will be grateful for cloud cover, when it returns. Hopefully soon.
• Having luggage delivered to my door by places like REI, Travelpro, and $A. (NO thanks to my luggage addiction, which appears to be incurable.) NOT SURE about a cat with a leather fetish and an afinity for luggage.
• Eurofilk. A request to sing. Zoom. Songs I can perform well enough without having practiced for months. Soon being on Central European Time.
• Pushing through in spite of the brain weasels. Not letting embarrassment over my lack of practice keep me from singing this time.
• Discovering that hauling a guitar out once every week or so has kept my finger calluses in (barely) good enough shape for five songs. Have to work on that. (That's also about how long my voice held out.) NO thanks to not practicing, damnit.

Sorry to have missed you. For an annoyingly long time now my Thursdays keep getting filled with virtual meetings, which makes getting to Eurofilk difficult.

I'm sorry to have missed so many opportunities to sing. I do expect to be around for a lot of the next FotLR next weekend.

We ventured forth today, and while the heat didn't feel particularly vicious, I did manage to drop both my keys (easy to do) and my bag (not easy to do) because my arms felt like noodles.
