Added later: I remembered a good think from our errand-running. When I went into the UPS store to pick up some packages, I told a woman in line that I liked her dress. (It was a colorful, cleverly constructed sundress that used a variety of prints.) She smiled and told me that she made it herself--which made me so glad that I had the courage to tell her rather than just keep my admiration to myself.
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
8/31: an upturn
...in the day. This morning's walk wasn't what I was expecting: I thought it would be cooler than it was, and when I went to pick up trash alongside the road (which I often do), the bag I picked up was full of pee (yes, really--luckily it was tied closed). This afternoon we ran errands, during which I was out of sorts. But at dinner we watched 2 episodes of the latest season of Fisk (I love it!), and this evening I worked on pamphlet-making without having to worry that it's a school night (since tomorrow is a holiday).
