Done Since 2024-06-16

On the whole not a bad week. Some annoyances -- Bronx being a cat (turning on my CPAP by stepping on the button, barfing on the floor), company websites being extremely annoying (I'm looking at you, gastrohealth.com), electronics being unpredictable (the monitor in the Lair being temporarily broken for unknown reasons), car chargers being out of service, and COVID interfering with two different events. But nobody close to me died, there was some good music, I had some fun Wikipedia dives, some good conversations, and lots of cat cuddle, and both my kids sent me Father's Day messages.

I think being a cancer survivor may have changed my perspective a bit. I'm not complaining.

Three walks, not enough other exercise (3 sessions), not nearly enough writing, and not enough guitar practice (2 days logged, though I'm not very consistent about that). I'm not too consistent about logging water intake, either. On the gripping hand I'm getting more fiber in my diet thanks mainly to dried apricots.

The STANCE (Seattle Trans And Nonbinary Choral Ensemble) concert that was cancelled Saturday due to COVID exposure was, fortunately, livestreamed on Friday; you can find it on YT at True Colors: A Pride Concert. I'd intended to make it an s4s, but (as usual) didn't; I may revisit that once it gets a stable URL on the STANCE website. It's notable because (1) my nibling k is in it, and (2) the third piece is a setting of one of my favorite Yeats poems, “Aedh Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven”.

The Festival of the Living Rooms included a panel on Making Music When You’re Neurodivergent, also recorded from the livestream.

Have a good week!
