miladygreyIn the further and continuing interest of helping me sleep at night and not getting depressed/suicidal over the state of the world, I have stopped looking at Twitter (except for maybe three people), and that has already helped an astounding lot. Not that any of them will know I have stopped looking, since I never actually joined Twitter, so really everyone is happy. Especially me, who hasn't had any nightmares about people I love being dragged into concentration camps as the sky catches on fire in over a week.
This weekend was fun and peaceful--we went down to the meadery we like so much downstate, and Yeats won the mustache portion of their Viking Beard and Mustache competition, and we cooked a new recipe, and grilled some steaks and corn out back, and watched Alton Brown on the new "Good Eats" and accumulated a few more new recipes to try. A couple more peaceful weekends, then in the latter part of September comes Indulgence Weekend. Oktoberfest on Friday night! The Pierogi Festival in a small town about an hour away! Sunday will probably be a recovery day, but what lovely things to recover from.
The new attorney (Merrill) is here, and has mostly been in conference with Aveline all day, ensuring all the paperwork for her joining the firm and getting its benefits is in order. We have smiled and shaken hands, but that's all. I should have the chance to walk her through a few things (like keeping files in order!) sometime this week.
Reading Log: Good Morning, Midnight by Lily Brooks-Dalton; Silence by Shusaku Endo; The Parting Glass by Gina Marie Guadagnino; Sailing to Sarantium by Guy Gavriel Kay; Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia; Summer of the Monkeys by Wilson Rawls; Midnight Beauties by Megan Shepherd; Far North by Marcel Theroux
