Day 22,334

Evie Day 603

Good morning, and a happy end to the Western work week to you all. Today is Friday 8 November 2024.

I say here for about twenty minutes wondering what I would write about, or even if I should. I am in a literal “blue funk”. I am still amazed at how short folks’ memories are. When the economy crashes again, will we then finally learn the lesson?

Tonight I’ll watch a little basketball. Tonight might be a good night to either have some chili or barbeque. The North Carolina Tarheels are coming to Allen Fieldhouse tonight for a game, and it will be interesting. There are going to be some other games I should pay attention to as well. The KU Volleyball team is currently ranked in the top ten, and they have a match at Arizona tonight. KU only has two losses this season, the latest coming Wednesday night versus Arizona State at Tempe. The other two games that I’ll keep an eye on for KU are the football game versus Iowa State, and then there’s the KU Soccer team plays TCU tomorrow night at Children’s Mercy Park in Kansas City. Sunday… the Chiefs play the Broncos at noon.

I’ve got some work stuff to attend to. I had a meeting with my manager yesterday, and it went OK. I need to sharpen my focus in some areas, but he was pleased that I nailed a recent certification. One down, two to go before the end of the year. That is causing me a little stress, but it’s not unmanageable.

I don’t want to turn on the TV, I don’t want to watch the news. I might just isolate a little bit and focus on the micro part of my life rather than the macro. I need to focus on the things around me that bring me joy. Family, friends, pooches, music, books.

Time to take out the garbage.

I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.

Peace y’all.
