i'm thankful that though we were supposed to skype with JK yesterday, she had to cancel because her daughter had an ear infection, which i am not thankful for the ear infection or not getting to talk to JK, who i love, but was thankful when it became aware the plan had to be cancelled, since canceling plans always gives me a little hit of serotonin. i'm thankful that instead i ate toffee caramel ice cream and sang some living room karaoke and had a nice DM convo with s about house sitting and the story of d and i meeting.
i'm thankful that it's E3, not because i really care that much about video game news, but because it means that probably my favorite podcaster austin walker and his team are recording
a new long podcast every day from LA and i'm so happy during weeks when i have a surplus of my favorite podcasts to listen to. i'm thankful, though, to remember in my desire for more podcasts all the time, that there are humans making them and sometimes humans need a break, and if i care about the humans making them (and i do, which is why i listen to the podcasts), i should want them to take breaks whenever they need to.
i'm thankful that i have their podcast today, though, and that if i stop writing now, i'll have time to mow the lawn before work while listening to it. i'm thankful for summer mornings, for the cool still air and gentle early light.
