I got to the part of The Return of the King which contains my favorite, oft-quoted part. I need a break tonight from being on the edge of tears, of holding my breath for the brave hobbits and their loyal steadfast friends.
Paul Simon to the rescue. Music to quilt by and dancing in my seat.

Today, my treat of a fruity smoothie at lunch time did a slo-mo-tumble to the floor of the food court. The starbucks app which had just moments before allowed me to refill my virtual card refused to let me log in and use it to get coffee (no biggie). Brief appearance at work of ex. Gives one pause of how the rest of the day will go.
But, the answer to that was: pretty darn well. Really nice, happy, excited customers, some good and meaningful time with co-workers, a sad farewell to another one and then chipotle for dinner. Now quilting. All is well.
So when that long hard out of the heart of Mordor lead relentlessly to my favorite quote, I knew it would all be ok.
