Quietly making progress...

I must have finally caught up on my sleep, because I felt much more awake today than I have in a long time. Either that, or something in my internal chemistry rebalanced itself. Either way, a productive day, getting a number of small but necessary tasks taken care of. One piece of work presents itself, and I dive into it with gusto. Much ick is removed from the washing machine (this particular washer has a known problem with mildew on the door gasket - not any longer).

This evening's adventure: The Trans-Siberian Orchestra, a.k.a A Big, Loud Rock Show With Fire And LASERs. These guys are SO METAL IT HURTS. And I mean neither of these things in a bad way.

The show was a lot of fun, though I was in tears with laughter at the opening - a grand, potential Spıal Tap moment as three of the principals descend from the rafters on small, lit platforms. All I could think of was a TSO version of Derek Smalls stuck 12 feet off the stage for the entire concert. It was an all-around fun evening, and some genuinely inspiring moments of musicianship, especially from the vocalists (who were underutilized, in my opinion).

Now, to bed and back to the work grind tomorrow. I do find myself in the enviable position of not having to work a full week for the remainder of the year, with a few days of vacation still to use up.
