I spent most of the day today listening to the album that Spiff and I made of his songs about 12 years ago, Steady Like Rain, and damn if it hasn't held up over time. I think we did a pretty great job on that. I remember putting a ton of work into it, but it was some of the most enjoyable and rewarding work I've ever done.
I thought about continuing to watch Raiders of the Lost Ark tonight (begun last night) while Jeannie is out at class, but instead have brewed myself a cup of bengal spice tea, made a fire, turned out the lights, and have Spiff-o singing directly into my ear drums.
It would be fun to make another album. I wonder if he's been writing any songs? Lord knows I haven't.
It's been a little bit of a rough week -- started off Monday morning by yelling and cussing at Samuel. For no good reason other than I hadn't slept well and didn't have the patience to put up with normal kid bullshit. Felt bad about it all day and ended up apologizing as soon as I got home from work. Sometimes I appreciate my mistakes as an opportunity to show the kiddos the value of a good apology. Sometimes they just feel like awful mistakes.
I'm not sure why else it's been rough. Work's been fine, although coronavirus threatens to put a serious financial damper on the company's Spring -- normally our busiest season.
I have some fun projects I'm working on at work that involve me making contraptions with winches and solenoids.
