Seeking Good Things, Post #35

usedtobeljsSo tired. So sad at the news of RBG's passing (may her memory be a revolution). So ready to move out of this time.
Instead of thinking of that, 10 Good Things:
1) The Old Vic livestream of Faith Healer, brilliant and unsettling theatre. Mr Michael Sheen, mesmerizing (well, he plays a faith healer) and shaggy and feral; Ms Indira Varma, tragic and elegant; Mr David Threlfall, pathetic and perfect.
2) After reading a lot about sustainable fabrics and the problems with polyester as it's usually used (there are some exceptions), I was bummed to see that a skirt I wanted from a London brand was polyester. But lo! A massive clearance was happening at Needless Markup, and I got an equivalent piece in silk at 1/3 the price.
3) Boot season!!
4) It looks like (knock on wood) Hurricane Teddy will miss Bermuda, which already has been hit with Hurricane Paulette this season. Ready to go back to Bermuda once this madness is finished.
5) The local forecast teases us with a cooldown to average temperatures this week. I need autumn...
6) Blueberry pancakes (with ginger and nutmeg in the mix, peanut butter and agave nectar as toppings) this morning, finishing the mix I had.
7) Made it through the HARD exercise class Thursday, and am almost over the soreness.
8) Someone's reading my Anthea/Mycroft series on AO3 and leaving me kudos on every story. Since I am feeling insecure, that's a real lift.
9) Finished a longstanding knitting project -- which doesn't look great, but is off my needles. ;)
10) Also finished knitting my first cowl! Cream cotton, suitable for 8 months of Florida weather.
What good things in this vale of tears are you thinking about? Hugs to you all.
