- Ugh; not the best start to the morning. Elliot “sort of” had a ride to school but he hadn’t heard from his friend so I agreed to take him. It was trafficky and then, when I got to the lot I used to always drop off at, there was a teacher in a minivan blocking part of it and she came out to tell me I can’t do that. She was pretty rude and it bothered me, but then I realized, I don’t have to let it affect me. I never drop off and so, won’t be running into her again. I let him know he’d better think about his actions affecting other people. Speeding = no car privilege = I have to take him places = mom is pissed! I have to teach him this lesson though so the punishment persists.
- I am pretty glad it is is Friday, though I still have a ton of work and will probably read bills over the weekend. Tomorrow has the following on the docket, though could all be rained out: 5 mile race in the AM (for Dakota and Ash; my knee hurts too much), meeting friends at Deep for one of their birthdays, 2 pm soccer practice, taking Ell to work, evening dance performance downtown for Dakota. It’s a lot but as I said, some of those could get rained out. Maybe the race goes off (46% chance of rain) but evening is more like 80%. While I want her to be able to perform, she is doing the same dance next weekend in the evening at a different event so, it’s not a huge deal.
- I do think I successfully beat back whatever illness was trying to invade; I have a bit of a headache today but I assume it’s the impending rain. But I don’t feel that creeping tiredness or other funk that you can’t quite describe but you know is just blah.
- I’m feeling very smug about the fact that I won’t be posting my Spotify wrap-up. I don’t pay for premium, nor do I ever even open that app. I’ve had XM forever and for the most part, I have a large compendium of music gathered over the years and I have it on my ipod. Sure, that sounds antiquated but I am not a slave to streaming.
- I am still sort of in a mood, though I can’t figure out why. It’s just a general dismay with the world. Could be stress or hormones, or the season. I love Christmas-time but it is also so rushed and everyone on the road seems hurried and annoyed and places are crowded, etc. I honestly don’t know what would turn it around for me so, fingers crossed I am able to push through and come out of my slump. Happy Friday.

I tried Sirius during one of their “try it for six months” deals and honestly didn’t find anything there that I couldn’t get on TuneIn. YMMV. I’ve gotten a lot of use out of Spotify and Apple Music.
I always enjoy seeing my Spotify wrap-up, but feel no need to share it to people who most likely don’t care 😝
I don’t pay for premium either. I’m old from when we listened to music before the internet. I can deal.
