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
12/19: abstract accepted
I recently submitted a proposal for a paper to be given at a conference in Wales this summer (see 11/22). This morning a message was waiting for me in my email inbox to let me know that my abstract was accepted. (Truth be told, it was especially nice timing because last night I was feeling a little low about my scholarly activities.) I am going to celebrate by kayaking this afternoon--one good thing deserves another, yes?
Many good things today – 8am swim in Lagoon, 1pm home made bread with avocado & ricotta cheese for lunch, 2.30 cup of tea with friends and came home with a bagful of baby carrots, spring onions, beetroot, parsnips all fresh from their garden. (I will be watering their flowers & veggies while they are away for Christmas.) 7pm now it’s off to have my wonderful salad.
