Work, Thistle, crochet, politics
Jan. 28th, 2024 09:22 pmLast week I did indeed feel under the weather for a day or so. I went out to dinner anyway to belatedly celebrate the re-hire of a co-worker with those who schemed along with me to get him back in, and I dampened my dry January with a cider because we were there to toast something. Then... work-blur? Yeah. 
( Work and work-gossip )
I read the first few chapters of The Ministry for the Future, and I did my new spinny-croc trick 3 more times, twice of them today. I ordered a shirt absentmindedly, mostly because I just forgot I'm not supposed to be buying clothes right now. I think I've sorted out my insurance for the next year. I tried some Thistle meals for WFH lunches and liked how they were both easy and virtuous. I have been, weirdly, crocheting -- I don't even like crocheted fabric and haven't crocheted in years, but I do like a nice fidget during an unpleasant meeting, and I'm practicing stitches in advance of a gift project so I guess that's happening.
Also, a nasty thought. Should we all, in the US, be donating to Nikki Haley right about now, since she is best positioned to defeat or at least hurt Trump's campaign in the primaries? After all, I want strong Republican opposition to that ass. I want Haley to stay in the race. 2016 is the only other time I've donated to Presidential candidates, and that was different. This time, maybe the enemy of my enemy is my friend... for now.
