The One Good Thing

The one good thing with feeling shitty is I get to lie around and read all day and not feel guilty while everyone else does all the rest of the work that needs doing, which is a fairly big silver lining. I’ve read more these past two weeks than I have in the past two years and it’s good. I’m always meaning to read more but I never actually do it, so it’s fantastic to actually do something for which previously the best you had was the intention. It feels good which counterbalances the feeling shitty. I always mean to read more but what I really mean to do is write. First things first. Rome wasn’t built in a day, so they say. Currently reading the fully revised and expanded for the 21st century Dr. Spock’s Baby and Child Care 8th Edition, the one essential parenting book, a handbook for parents of developing children from birth through adolescence and so far it’s pretty excellent. I was worried when I was given the book that it would be dull and dated and barely relevant but actually it’s quite great. Also the latest revision was in 2008 so it’s not totally archaic. I’m learning a lot and also having what I already thought and knew be reaffirmed. For audiobook format, I’m listening with Dylan to The Marathon Don’t Stop: The Life and Times of Nipsey Hussle by Rob Kenner and it’s awesome but also very sad. Of all the people to be gunned down right in front of the place he felt most at home. Nipsey Hussle was an amazing person. The world lost someone very special and beautiful. I feel especially sad for Nipsey’s wife and his two kids. I don’t think the man who killed him can ever be forgiven. Pictured is Nipsey’s beautiful son who was the same age as Asha is when his father was murdered.
