Share five things I’m good at.
I’m good at meeting people. I’m sure it’s not 100-percent, and there definitely times I know I’ve gotten off on the wrong foot…but I’m usually pretty good at making a first impression.
I’m decent at DJing electronic dance music. I just played a set, in fact. Now, I’m not great at it, there are so many skills these days that I don’t have, but I can beat match (by ear! old school style), I can pick tracks that go well together, and I can blend them.
I’m pretty good at writing. I still have so far to go, Jesus, do I have so far to go, but I am good at it. I’d put reading comprehension and breaking down story in the same category here. I put a lot of time into it. I’m actually, basically, obsessed with it.
I’m good with animals. They tend to trust me, mostly because I love paying attention to them, and they respond to that and a calm demeanor. My greatest win with an animal is to get them to fall asleep on/next to/around me. It means they trust me.
Finally…I guess I’m pretty good with computers. I don’t mean “finally” like that’s the only remaining thing I’m pretty good at, ha. But it’s the next thing that comes to mind. Again…I’m not great at computers. There is soooooo much stuff I don’t know about them. But, am I someone my friends and family come to if they have an issue or a question or otherwise need an opinion? Yes, they do.

Really good writing session in the morning, surprisingly enough. The two hours flew by, which was excellent. It was all misty mountain majesty this morning, too, grey, drippy, cool and fabulous. I love writing in that weather. Again…it makes me think of home.
The day was kinda hectic after that. I got my teeth cleaned. Therapy. And then I was burnt out from all that and forcing myself to get up this morning on time, I took the foot off the gas pedal and Liz and I spent time together. She had an idea to make the side of our yard where we park out cars rather than right in front of the house. There was a house she saw near the BevMo that did it that way and we went to go look at it. The more I think about doing our front yard that way, the more I’m convinced it’s a good idea. Then we can landscape nice stuff in front of our living room window and have a porch, which would be DOPE. I really want a porch. And plants.
After that we watched a couple episodes of Arcane, which has been recommended to us both by, like, a million people lately. I’ve watched the first two episodes and thought they were pretty good…but I wasn’t swept away by them. Well, we’ll give the whole show a chance, now. See what’s up. And then I DJ’d for a while. I almost have my second set figured out. One last song, I think, and a couple decent candidates. And then I’ll have another pair of sets to write to, which will be DOPE.
Night night.
