Jun. 10th, 2015 11:47 amWe missed another thunderstorm yesterday, but got a couple of minutes of absolute downpour and probably a rainbow (although I didn't go look out the living room window for it, because I forgot). It's warm enough for the quilt to come back off the bed and the windows to stay open all night. Good stuff.
Other good stuff: I have three new (to me) Steeleye Span songs I'm obsessed with and trying to learn. I didn't know they had an album based on Terry Pratchett, but they do and it's called Wintersmith. The three songs in question are You (which I thought was going to be about Granny Weatherwax's cat, but isn't), The Summer Lady, and We Shall Wear Midnight. The live version of We Shall Wear Midnight makes me cry occasionally. The first time I heard it, I thought it was the two versions of Tiffany talking to each other. When I found out it was Tiffany talking to Terry Pratchett, that got me. And yes, that counts as good stuff.
Let's see, other good stuff: I was inspired by the glass baubles I bought last weekend to excavate my office so as to have a place to put them. Decluttering is always good, and I ought to make more of a habit of it. What I really need is to sort through all (both of) the office bookshelves and figure out what's in there because it isn't somewhere else, and what's in there because it needs to be there, and what's in there that should be in the trash can. Maybe if I do that, there will be a place to put some more books. There are always some more books. (That fact also counts as good stuff.)
I seem to be in a mental state wherein wherever I am, I want to be somewhere else doing something else. Mostly, when I'm at work I want to be home having a cleaning fit, but when I'm home I want to be out enjoying the weather now that it's enjoyable. And I want to stop my first thought being "I've got all these things I want to get done; better go get coffee." I used to be able to get things done without having coffee first.
