I was on standby at work--meaning I got paid a tiny amount to stay home and not go anywhere--played a lot of guitar, trying to work on a new song, lit a candle that a friend had given me and followed her instructions to meditate on what changes I would like to occur in my life over the coming year. In bed before midnight, but heard some fireworks go off. Up at 5:00am to get ready for work. Didn't know until later this afternoon that "wild youths" had torn up downtown Portland (OR) because for some reason the city didn't have a fireworks show this year.
