## Morning Mastodonians!
Skipped out on playing D:OS2 with C last night. My digestive system has been a wreck for a couple days now and it was particularly bad last night, so I just couldn't face staring at a busy computer game for hours.
Instead, I nerded out and created a spreadsheet of all the books in my Goodreads list, using its Export function. I put it into Google Sheets with the idea of trying to pick a random book from over 2,200(!) books in my Want to Read list. It's not as easy as it sounds! I created a new column with a random number in it and sorted by that, took the top one, and now I'll read it!
I also vegged in front of the TV and watched an amazing movie on Netflix. *Wind River* is an intense, violent, tearjerker about a missing Native American woman. Oddly enough, a similar subject, dealt vastly differently, in *Rustic Oracle*. It stars Jeremy Renner on the hunt and really good. Amazing scenery and cinematography. Highly recommended.
It has been some busy days in the salt mine, but luckily with fewer pointless meetings than before. I actually had to refresh my calendar a few times before I believed there were no scheduled meetings after our morning standup. I actually got some work done yesterday and will try to carry the momentum over today.
Stay safe. Watch your distance. Wear a mask. Wash your hands. GET VACCINATED!
To make a difference in someone's life, you don't have to be brilliant, rich, beautiful or perfect. You just have to care.
I am hoping I will be ready for another *Halo 3: ODST* mission tonight. Feeling a little better now. I will take Phineas for a long walk at lunch, enjoying the crisp sunny autumn weather. I almost had to put on a sweatshirt to take him out this morning. Yeah, the simpleton won't go out without company. What a weird dog.
