Weaving

Somehow, I had energy during parts of my day.  I'm not sure where the energy came from, it wasn't from a lot of sleep.  Here are some happy Sunday things:

  • Dishes, other people's laundry, and random cleaning around the house got done.
  • With about twelve days to go, I have picked up my weaving to try to complete the band before January 26th.  I stopped progress on it back in October, partially because of back pain.  I'm being very careful by only weaving in 15 minute time slots that I am spreading out (a lot) with other things during the day.  I'm also taking the time to do some physical therapy after each time slot. 

  • Fifteen minutes seems like such a small amount of time.  It is an amount that I can picture that doesn't overwhelm me.  Today I spun the wheel to clean my bedroom for fifteen minutes and landed on Laundry Area.  I'm pretty good about folding and putting away clean clothes out of the dryer.  I am not as good when it comes to taking care of the clothes that I hang to dry.  The pile was rather large.  Fifteen minutes wasn't enough to reach the bottom, but I made a good dent.  I folded or hung for fifteen minutes and then took about another five or so putting things into drawers.  Here are before and after shots.


You can see that there is a window!

  • In the afternoon I decided to take a walk.  Earlier I had looked out and seen bright sunshine.  When I looked out while getting my shoes on, it was overcast and looking darker than it should.  By the time I had my jacket on it was starting to snow.  By the time I was outside, the snow was heavy.  Before I was ten minutes down the road, an alert on my phone let me know there was a weather advisory and white-out conditions.  I was walking out in a snow squall.  I survived.  Best parts?  The snow flying into my mouth uninvited, and watching the melted snow on the rim of my glasses go back and forth every step I took.

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.
