A Walk in the Park

Happy things from today:

  • Spinning the wheel to determine where to put my energy for fifteen minutes has a new added benefit.  After spinning the wheel and turning to take my before picture, I heard a noise.  Nanni decided that she wanted to spin too!  That was fun to watch!

  • 'Desk' is what the arrow was pointing to when I spun it.  It doesn't look like much has changed after fifteen minutes, but I got rid of a bunch of old receipts and some trash.  My pockets tend to get emptied onto the desk.

  • The timer was set for Weaving too.  I didn't quite weave for fifteen minutes though.  I got to the end point of the background section and decided that starting the next pattern could wait.  Still, progress was made.
Just a little more than an inch was woven today, I think.


  • There were errands to run today.  In between, I met my friend, Amy, for a walk.  We met at Livingston Park in Manchester.  It was a cold day with temperatures around the freezing point.  It wasn't so cold that walking didn't warm us up.  I got to use my new trekking poles.  Practice is needed for me to feel more comfortable with them.  
Ice is starting to form.

This picture was taken as I put my phone into my pocket.  This would be about the same time Amy was suggesting I might want to turn my phone off to avoid pictures of my pocket.  Good call, Amy!  🤣
I kind of like this picture though.

Ducks!

Final Post for 2024

--Here are some happy things from this last day of the year: It was a working day for me.  It was busy and I left early.  I had three and a half hours of PTO and I decided to use them.  There was internal guilt, but everyone I told that I had PTO to use, agreed that I needed to use my time. Since I was home a little early, I went to DIY Craft & Thrift and helped finish up the store reset.  The store looks great and somehow seems to be more spacious.   After a nap, I went to the party Keziah and Zed were having.  The theme has to do with toasting in the New Year with jam.  Jam-bor-brie is what they called it this year.  I got to spend time with friends visiting and playing games.  I learned two new games; The Isle of Cats and Dixit.  We also played Carcassonne.   It was a lot of fun.  I need to play games more often. Spin the Lego wheel to choose your jam! My board toward the beginning of playing The Isle of Cats. The y...

Drinking Water

Some happy things from today: At work, I was assigned to the Problem Solve area.  This is always good.  However, I also got to train someone else for that task.  I'm not a Learning Ambassador, but it was nice to train someone. At home, I chose down time.  I even took a nap.  The alarm I set to wake me so I could get Gideon at school, did not keep me awake.  Thankfully, Zed was home and woke me up.  Hopefully I'll be able to fall asleep when I need to.  Gideon wants to start an after school improv club.  Nanni, our brown tabby, is still not as happy as we would like.  She was drinking water this afternoon and I was told she ate some today.  These are very good things.  Drinking water. I didn't want the flash to distract her. ☮ Started listening to: Happiness for Beginners , by Katherine Center.   Still reading the book I didn't intend to, Saving Nora .  The author appears to be Josh Williams.   Thank you...

Boxes

Here are a few happy things from my very tired today: When I got to work this morning the coworker I wrote about yesterday was entering the building at the same time as me.  I asked him if he was still happy about the boxes.  He told me how he had spent time yesterday organizing everything for ease of use.  I'm happy that he is happy. The lilacs have a short lifespan.  They still look and smell nice.  This might be my last picture of them though.   There are other flowers that will bloom soon.  I do love the lilacs. Lilacs TF sent me a package.  It is a llama mug that changes color with warm liquid.   The mug is covered with little pieces of Styrofoam.  Apparently the trip was bumpy.  Still, it arrived safely.      ☮ Currently listening to: Dune , by Frank Herbert. Thank you for being part of my happy things. Stay safe.
