Too Much Info

My first happy thing for today is long and has information that I don't like to share.  I'm sharing anyway, because baby steps are important.  Feel free to skip it if you're short on time. 

  • If you have read my blog in previous years you know I have a problem with stuff.  I have too much of it and I can't keep what I have organized.  Lately, I haven't tried.  This is much different compared to my work areas which I try to keep very organized.  I've allowed myself to become overwhelmed so much that I can't move.  I'll want to do things but can't decide where to start and don't.  The spinner I got is to help relieve some of this anxiety.  I'm also only dedicating fifteen minutes to this on days where I have the energy.  Yesterday I spun my spinner and it landed on trash so I took out the trash in my room.  Today I spun the spinner, it landed on trash… so I spun again and it landed on desk.  My desk is overflowing.  I set the timer and went through things on my desk for only fifteen minutes.  There was only a small dent made, but it was enough to give me the hope that this might work.  Somewhere, I think I still have a trivet that was my mom's.  It said, “Come in, sit down, relax, converse, our house doesn't always look like this, sometimes it's even worse.”  I have no idea who to attribute that quote to.  Anyhow, I'm aiming at being less worse.  


  • I found an app called Mandoo on Google Play that a person can use to design mandalas.  It isn't exactly what I was looking for, but close.  I had fun playing with it.  I haven't tried printing it yet. 


  • We had the first real snow of the season today.  I don't know how many inches we got, but I think more than six.  It was still snowing some when the plow guy came.

This picture was taken just after four.
The snow supposedly ended around 8:30 PM.


  • Keziah chose to be snowbound at the studio all weekend.  We missed her, and in the evening Zed, Gideon, and I played some games.  We played Kluster and Calico.  Both are fun.

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...

Sore Thursday

Image
Here are some happy Thursday things: In an attempt to make a long story short, last week I fell and things didn't seem too sore.  Then I went hiking and backpacking, again, not too bad.  Follow this with work where I needed to get up and down from the floor and now I am having enough aches and pains that I've been taking ibuprofen.  Why is this part of my happy list?  The ibuprofen worked.  It wasn't perfect, but while on it, there was a lot of improvement.  So much so that around 5.5 hours after taking it, I could tell the pills had worn off.  Okay, maybe the story wasn't short.  🙂 I remembered to mend the seam on the gown I'm planning to wear Saturday.   It needs a little more done, but not today. Before After The Inktober prompt was boots.  I am no artist. Pencil Pen Sunset ☮ Currently listening to: The Silmarillion , by J. R. R. Tolkien.  Thank you for being part of my happy things.

Sleepy Time

Here are some happy things from today. At work, I survived a shift of stowing.  For this, and other reasons, I should practice squatting more often.  Perhaps it is time for me to find an exercise challenge.  I seem to do well with challenges like that. On the way home TF called.  We hadn't talked for a while.  Embarrassingly, I eventually fell asleep during our conversation.  I guess it has been a long week.  We ended our conversation and I took a nap.  My alarm goes off at 3:30 every afternoon.  Soon after that Keziah called.  This helped wake me up enough to go eat.  Food is important.  Keziah thought Zed was going somewhere tonight and I might like to join him. He wasn't, so I went and rested for a few minutes.  Hours later I woke up.  I missed Craft Night and had eighteen minutes to get a DuoLingo lesson done before midnight.  🤣 It was a work, sleep, eat kind of day.  Thankfully I thought to get a pictu...
