It was a good Rock Creek Kings show, even if the first half was heard from across the ravine in the garden.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been doing a bit of online shopping recently. A new computer battery for my work laptop (it&#8217;s been bulging for a while and I thought I should deal with it before it catches on fire) and some new work clothes arrived, just as skyrocketing cases and mask mandates make me question if we&#8217;ll be back after Labor Day or not. (If\/when we do return, we&#8217;ve got a three-month experimental period planned where we can decide if we want to be in-office all the time, fully remote, or hybrid. Right now I&#8217;ve said hybrid, but it all depends on a number of factors, like where our new office space is, if our dress code relaxes at all, or how much I hate being around people I can&#8217;t just tell to be quiet because I&#8217;m on a call.) Tonight I bought a new cell phone case off eBay, because my old one is disintegrating and has already allowed my phone screen to crack. A few new casual tees are also on their way to me. Really I should take myself to a store, but it just seems like such an effort.<\/p>\n<p>Some of it is depression buying, albeit with a gift card. But I think some of it might be coming-out-of-depression buying &#8212; taking care of things I should have done months ago. I emptied cat boxes today &#8212; and moved them to sweep behind, which is also an encouraging trend. Heck, I&#8217;ve even already changed the calendar to August. We&#8217;ll see what tomorrow holds. (Besides the farmers market, lunch with friends, and a call with my folks, of course.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This shot is blurry, but simply reflects my desire to grab a quick pic and then turn my flashlight back on to join the others in the modern concert alternative to lighters.
