Some milestones and some gratitude

First, some milestones

- The B-52's announced their final tour. From 1989 to circa 1993 I was an obsessed fangirl over them. I never got back into them (of course they haven't been that active since 1993, other than touring and releasing 1 new album) but still. A milestone. Can't blame them for retiring; their eldest member is about 72 and youngest about 63. Trying to remember the last time I saw them. I know I went to see them twice with Doris, both times were fairly soon after she and I got together, so I'm guessing I last saw them perform about 17 or 18 years ago. They always have a place in my heart; there really never has been any band like them.

- Also this year marks 15 years since my first boss (and my friend) Michelle died. She'd be 64 if she was still alive today. I still think of her often.

- I'm kinda pissed that Legends of Tomorrow and Batwoman were both cancelled, while Flash gets another season. I abandoned Flash about 3 seasons ago; it got so boring. I never got into Batwoman though I tried. But Legends was fantastic, and both it and Batwoman had a queer female lead. And of course Flash, with its cishet white male lead is the one that gets renewed. (I hasten to add that yes, I like Barry Allen, but that's not the point)

Now some gratitude

- Donated blood again last week. The Red Cross staffers seemed to like the gifts I got them.

- Call the Midwife is really good. 

- So is Heartstopper. Sadly there are only 8 episodes, and Doris and I binged them all on Saturday!

- Doris had Saturday off - always something to appreciate!

- In the past 2 days, I've gotten 6 comments on 2 fanfics. 

- I did win $12 on Lotto this week, but I freely admit that I spend about $12 on Lotto each month so....

it's so sweet to look back at old dates and convos! I love it!

I really liked movie Flash, I'm sad to see that they've been having what looks like a mental health crisis and it doesn't seem like they're getting the help they need. It would be really interesting if they just swapped them out.

Ha, makes sense that they're probably sick of the treats for the donors, they're probably thrilled when they actually get something new!

And yes, exactly! If you're spending $20 a day on fancy coffees (or lotto tickets), that's maybe not so good unless you're making an absolute ton a money, but if it's just a fun thing here and there, go for it! I do sometimes like to do the scratchers (even though the winnings would be lower) because sometimes it's fun to do the scratching (I like the ones like the word finds and bingo)
