Working

For what seems like the first time in a long time I didn’t reach my step goal while at work. I haven’t maintained a streak in quite some time, but at work, I would at least hit the 10,000 step goal for a day. Today, I helped with Day One Orientation of new hires at work. That involved lots of sitting and watching videos. My FitBit is also in my pocket instead of my wrist since the strap broke last night as I was getting ready for bed. It was a good day. Here are some happy things: Sometimes people from HR hand out snacks. Apparently that happened today during break, but I wasn’t there. However, while working with the new hires the person from HR came by after everyone else had a break, and handed me a packet of Dunkaroos. He tried to do it slyly, but failed. I found it very special that he remembered that I liked that particular sweet. When I was able to take my break, the Dunkaroos were very welcome. We use QR codes at work to denote different locations, like bags or end ca

Day Spun By

Here are some happy things from today: As is usual for my first day back to work, I didn't sleep well.  That said, work went pretty well.  It was busy enough that things went by fast.  Especially that last hour that I worked late.  🙃 After work I ate, napped without wanting to, and did some spinning.  I haven't worked on the spinning a lot, but it hasn't been forgotten in a corner yet.  It's only been a few days, there is still time. 😀 Sunset! ☮ Continued listening to: Daindreth's Assassin , by Elisabeth Wheatley. Thank you for being part of my happy things. Stay safe.

 Here are some happy Monday things: This morning, as I avoided getting out of bed, I swiped to this reel:  LINK .  If you aren't able to watch that video, let me just say that the person was suggesting that people aren't necessarily lacking motivation as much as they need to work on being more disciplined.  I'm not saying that he is correct, or that my interpretation is correct.  I have mixed feelings on this. I am saying it got me out of bed.  🙂 Keziah and I spent some time at the studio organizing things.  Between the arts & sciences over the weekend, researching my cousin Mary and  buttons, and spending time at the studio; I'm feeling inspired.  Keziah has been working on carving linoleum to do printing.  She has been selling some prints as patches.  I'm going to try to work more on projects, too. A friend has a cat they were given that doesn't like their dogs.  We are going to try and see if our cats will accept them.  Over the weekend Gideon got his ro

Here are some happy things from Sunday: The internet rabbit hole this morning was a hypothyroid video about which foods to avoid and which to eat.  It was also educational and was trying to sell a supplement.  I made a shopping list.  Then I did a little bit of shopping and included some of the food suggestions to maybe help my thyroid.  Some of my food shopping for the week is done, and that makes me happy.  I'm also loving the Candy Cane Kisses that are in the stores for the holidays. One of the things I got was a gallon of milk for Keziah.  Unfortunately, it didn't fit in her refrigerator.  I put it in my refrigerator.  That would be the fridge that I have been avoiding cleaning since the apartment was emptied last fall, but not all of the stuff in the refrigerator, and I moved in this spring.  I have occasionally thrown things away to fill up a trash bag and done the tiniest bit of wiping down the easiest places.  Today I took it apart and cleaned it.  I didn't take a b

It was an SCA event kind of day.  Here are some happy highlights: This event was almost all about classes.  If Keziah and I hadn't needed to have a time and place for some more champion's competitions, there would have just been classes.  Thankfully, the event steward was gracious and let us have our Arts and Sciences and Rapier Competitions at this event.  Yay!  We have new Champions! The competitions were later in the day.  In the morning I had time to go to a class.  Since one of the things I found when I moved was a spindle and wool, I took the beginner drop spindle class.  Years ago I had put the spindle away when I started struggling with some things. I can't say that I don't still struggle, but I learned some things to lessen the struggle.  What I need more of is practice.  I got some today and practiced a little more when I got home.  Before the event ended we held a small court.  The new Champions were announced and can now join us at court.  Some overdue award

Memory

Fridays are becoming a day that I don't get much done.  I'm going to try to work on that next week.  Here are some happy things from today: This morning I woke up early and stayed in bed way too long.  Eventually I got up and cleaned the bathroom before taking a shower.  This seemed like a wonderful accomplishment.  The internet grabbed me again after and I didn't have breakfast until about noon.  The research rabbit hole and short videos took up more time than it should.  There is another item in my online cart to be ordered and my bathroom is clean.  That is two wins. My friend, TF, called in the afternoon.  We talked for around two hours.  During that time I took a walk, saw the sunset, and the full moon rise. The white glow among the trees is the moon. Sunset and Venus. For a short time I went through a box.  There are things from that box that I want to keep, and some I don't.  There are craft things like fabric scraps, used buttons, patterns, pipe cleaners, etc in

Here are some happy things from today:  At work I was assigned to do the QA position.  This is the first time I have been assigned there from the beginning of the shift.  It is a lot of work, frustrating at times, but I like it.  I need to make a list of things so I remember what to bring with me, look out for, and what files I need to have open on the laptop.  There were some things I forgot and it slowed me down in the beginning. One of the Process Assistants thinks that I could do their job someday. I'm not ready for that, we'll see if I even decide to pursue more. It is a nice compliment though. The food today was pretzel wrapped hotdogs.  It was okay.  I got to the food a little late.  They were still warm, but I think it would have been better from the source. After work and lunch I took a nap.  I set an alarm to go off before the sunset so I could get a picture of it.  The moon was rising too.  The sky can be beautiful. Not very colorful, still very pretty. The moon i
