Beautiful Thursday

Image
Here are some happy things from today: It was a beautiful day.  I did something that I don't usually do, I drove with my window down.  My hair is very long and driving with the windows down generally means hair in my face which can make driving difficult.  Oddly enough, I didn't really feel the air come in.  I'm not sure if it had to do with the weather, the speed of the car, or some aerodynamic aspect of the car.  The air was still fresher than with them closed, and that was nice. After work I had some shopping to do and asked Keziah if she needed anything.  She asked for a broom for the store so I picked one up and brought it to her.  She gave me a big hug when I got there.  I was only able to visit for a few minutes because I had refrigerator items in the car from shopping.  It was nice to see her, and a few of the people that work at the store with her too. One of the refrigerator items was eggnog.  The food is one of the best parts of this time of year.  So far I have

Happy Wednesday

Image
 Here are some happy things from today: This was the second day in a row that I was assigned to the Problem Solve area at work.  Yesterday we were super busy the entire time.  Today we started out super busy but ended everything on time.  So much on time that there was plenty of time to spend working in the hazardous materials area and getting caught up there.  It was a good night at work. There is a calendar at work that lets us know what is happening for events.  Do I look at it?  Not really.  It happened to catch my eye as I walked by today.  There might have been writing for today on that calendar.  There were donuts during break. I had a yummy pumpkin donut.   The Inktober prompt I chose for today was roam.  I'm still a little behind. Foliage. ☮ Currently listening to:  Sabriel , by Garth Nix.

More Roses!

Happy things from Tuesday: It is easy to tell how tired I am when I drive five minutes from work and fall asleep in the parking lot of the grocery store.  Yay, nap!  I have to stop thinking the rose bush is done for the year.  There is another flower blooming and another bud.   The Inktober prompt I sketched out today was Horizon. It is the thirteenth prompt for 2024.  ☮ Currently listening to:  Sabriel , by Garth Nix. Thank you for being part of my happy things. Stay safe.

Long Monday

Image
Ice (hail or sleet or ...) woke me in the middle of the night bouncing off the window air conditioner.  Soon after I also heard a roll of thunder.  Somehow, I let those sounds lull me back to sleep.  Here are some other happy things from today: This morning I had an appointment for my ultrasound.  Every year I have an ultrasound and appointments to monitor my thyroid because I have Hashimoto's Disease.  Today I had two ultrasounds.  First, a student did everything, then a licensed tech came in, and did it all again.  I also had a thyroid blood test. So I have been poked and prodded!  I'm just happy that it is done. Keziah and I met at the SCA storage unit to put away the things we had borrowed to use at the last event.  We managed to leave one bin at home.  I'll be back in a few weeks to pick up other things.  It has been a busy time.  Someone who works there brings their dog and plays with them in the long hallways.  They are fun to watch. Part of the day I spent at the st

Cleaning Day

Image
Happy Sunday things: Zed made breakfast for the family this morning.  It was very nice of him to do that.  It was delicious! Keziah and I went to the cafe to have a second breakfast and visit with some friends.  I'm hoping to start some sketching lessons in the next week or two with one of those friends. At home I decided it was time to do something about the kitchen.  I moved things around, swept, and mopped.  The dishes were still in boxes, some of them are clean and will make it to the cabinet when they are dry.  I had an area that had become a catch all that I cleaned up and set the microwave onto it.  I didn't spend any time on the refrigerator, but the stove is clean.  We thought the burners weren't working, it seems that the starter is what is broken.  They all light with a lighter. The Inktober prompt I chose to do today was number eight.  I wasn't able to catch up much, but I didn't fall further behind.  My original plan was to do this in pencil before doin

Beautiful Day!

Here are my happy things from Saturday: After sleeping longer than I expected to yesterday, I went back to bed and slept for a little more than an hour and a half.  That put my sleep total at almost nine hours.  I usually get around five, I think.  When there was an opportunity to work today, I stayed in bed another hour, debating it and doing DuoLingo.  In the end, I decided to go in from 8:45 to 11:50 this morning.  A nice, short shift that was all overtime. What did I do when I got home?  I rested for a while.  Then I went for a walk to enjoy some of this absolutely lovely autumn day. I'm still behind with the Inktober drawings.  Today I chose the number ten prompt, nomadic. ☮ Currently listening to:  Sabriel , by Garth Nix. Thank you for being part of my happy things. Stay safe.

Learning and Training

Image
Here are some happy things from Friday: Looking at my Facebook feed I was reminded that the aurora borealis was supposed to be visible. Many people saw it and shared some wonderful pictures.  I'm happy that it was visible to so many.  I left for work early and drove north of the city, but it was overcast and maybe too late.  No northern lights for me.  City lights reflected in the cloud cover. At work, I was trained to do the position of QA.  This isn't what I would expect the Quality Assurance position to look like, but I didn't name it.  Maybe it stands for something else?  Basically the person oversees the people stowing in a section of the building.  But oversee is maybe too strong a word?  Guides and coaches, moves people to the work, and problem solves what can be done before sending things to problem solve.  But not oversee as in discipline.  Whatever the correct word, I was trained in this last night.  It is also redirecting packages and using a computer to determin
