Seems like pretty much everything has been going right for me over the last couple of days. Mom and Dad came to visit over the weekend, so I got to spend quality time going over a brand new cookbook with my mom (while catching up on family news and introducing her to my online friends), and I got to talk database code with my dad. Heaven! (They had to leave on Monday, so that was a pretty unhappy evening. But luckily I have friends who were willing to cheer me up by letting me beat them at Scrabble.)

Then, at work, pretty much everything I did turned out well, and people around me are generally in a pretty good mood right now, which makes everything even more pleasant.

Mom and I are also starting to think about maybe possibly kinda flying to California to visit family, which is exciting in a kind of thrilling-and-overwhelming-all-at-once kind of way. Do we go next month? Do we wait for spring? Does spring even matter in Southern California?

And I’m really excited to see what my choir does with an SSAABT a cappella piece I found for them. Will they think it’s as fun as I do? Or will they give me that “you want us to sing what?” look.

But speaking of choir, the one thing that hasn’t been a joy lately has been choosing music for them to sing for the next few months. So much drivel gets published and wastes hours and hours of my time. It literally took me 11 hours over the past two and a half days to get to the point of actualy ordering music (which I did this afternoon, by the way, which is contributing to my general good mood).
