Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
11/25: sparkling sisters
When we moved last year we settled into a house on a lane which has no streetlights. It's amazing how many more stars we can see here than we could in our old house in town (which isn't really that far away--so a little distance from city-lights makes a bigger difference than I would have thought). Tonight the Pleiades were twinkling more than I've ever seen before. Even though Chris is still majorly under the weather (and that's a major understatement), we took our new telescope outside to star-gaze for a few minutes.
My good thing for the day actually happened in the time most people consider the middle of the night, but since it's after midnight, I count it as the 25th.
ReplyDeleteMy awesome husband saved me from having a huge panic attack by waking up and getting rid of some bugs that had made their way into my muffin tin, which I needed to make the surprise muffins I was mostly done making. He didn't complain or anything...just did it when I ran into the bedroom and woke him. Now he will have fresh, made from scratch muffins for breakfast in a few hours.
