i'm thankful that d and i were watching the new season of peaky blinders last night and there was a nick cave song playing as there is roughly every thirty seconds and d heard a lyric, correctly, as "facing jesus in my suit" and i heard it, ridiculously, as "face of jesus in my soup" and we laughed and then after the show ended i realized that actually i was right and we laughed again.

 

i'm thankful for peaky blinders, which is sometimes stupid but also intense and focused in a way that i appreciate. i'm thankful for cillian murphy, who is very good in his role (as are most of the cast), and i'm thankful for d's annoyance at the tiny round glasses he wears frequently this season.

 

i'm thankful for mulled wine, which i love the smell and taste and ritual of. i'm thankful for my coworker from spain who showed me pictures of her recent holiday in spain, which involved drinking mulled wine from a mug shaped boot in the cold street and also many many sausages.

 

i'm thankful that i had a good day at work yesterday and that i learned about how to handle CORS preflight requests to my API. i'm thankful for people on stack overflow and github who share their knowledge about technical problems, even if they're not perfectly right or don't necessarily understand what they're saying, since usually i can stitch together fragments of what they've written into a whole that makes sense to me.

 

i'm thankful i have my six week psych follow-up today. i'm thankful that though it will be cold out, i'm excited to have a bike ride, since i haven't taken one in a while. i'm thankful that, while i still have bad days, i actually feel pretty good about how the zoloft has affected my mental makeup so far (i'm thankful also for the chamomile supplement i bought and started taking recently, which i think has also had some positive effects on how my body holds anxiety) and that i am sleeping better on the reg.

 

i'm thankful for this beautiful glitchy space picture. i'm thankful for "space song." i'm thankful for this corgi's pajamas. i'm thankful that it's friday.
