I’m feeling very festive-song-in-minor-key today. It’s been a good week, but a busy one, and the busy isn’t really over until Sunday at noon-ish. My body is giving me small warning signs, so I figure I have about 5 days before it absolutely crashes unless I get some slow-down soon. Noted. My planner on Sunday afternoon reads “NOTHING NOT A DAMN THING.” So that’s where we’re at.
- The correct Advent greeting. I love it every time Rev. Joseph Yoo shows up in my feed.
- If someone rich wants advice on what to do with their money, Bryan Fuller and the cast of Pushing Daisies are ready to give us more antics at the Pie Hole! I NEED SEASON THREE!
- Busy seasons have me sitting at the keyboard more often than usual. I just play through my theory books or some Bach variations – predictable, methodic, simple. Instrumental and ambient music are great stress relievers, which this piece explores beautifully.
- Speaking of ambient music, I’m playing in the Joan of Bark Fest tomorrow with Wenepa. It will not be the same without Des, but I know we’ll still make some beautiful sounds together. Come see us if you’re local!
- The James Garfield Miracle is one of my favorite things that happens every year, and I want y’all to know about it.
And an extra bonus at the end of this busy, busy week. Because The Great Unfuckening is nigh, and I feel like mine is going to be a doozy. My brain is so tired, and my stockpile of fucks-to-give is quickly dwindling.
Next week’s schedule is much calmer. It’s still busy and social – just not every day. There are real pockets of rest on the horizon, and I am excited about that.

Suzanne, I happily followed every link you posted in this blog, and I *love* them all. Thank you for sharing both comfort and joy in this short post!
*Low-spoons day after a long week and many late nights, or I might add more, but I appreciate the reads and listens (and do I ever have my own playlist of what I call Background Music <without lyrics>). Also, I just found my years-long notification list in WordPress (that followed me from my old, paid website to my new, free account), and I’ve explored some unanswered and not-yet-liked responses, too. So a few unexpected notifications might turn up in yours as well. Please ignore anything and everything you don’t want to address, especially on Sunday, which I hope is as free and relaxing as you can possibly hope for. ❤
When all those notifications popped up this morning, I literally clapped. It’s always a joy hearing from you! Thanks for reading, friend!
