Car Shopping

 Happy things from today:

  • The initial plan I had for today was to help out Keziah at the store.  Unfortunately, I did something to my back, in a different way than a few months ago.  By the time I stretched, took the ibuprofen, and finished the things I needed to do around the house, Keziah was off doing other errands.  It took a little bit, but I'm happy to say the ibuprofen seemed to help, at least temporarily. 
  • Instead of helping at the store, I went to the studio and worked on photos again.  My task is to find photos of Keziah and her SCA life.  I scanned some yesterday and organized them on the computer today.  Here is one of my favorites.


  • The other task I managed today was to go to a couple of used car places.  I test drove a 2008 Volvo.  I'm going to do a little more research before choosing anything.   I'm pleased I was able to do this.  Here are some photos I took while I was driving back from car shopping.

Currently listening to Lessons in Chemistry, by Bonnie Garmus.

Still reading the book I didn't intend to, Saving Nora.  The author appears to be Josh Williams.  

Thank you for being part of my happy things.  Stay safe.

Two happy things from yesterday that I forgot: I finished listening to The Book of Margery Kempe.   It gave me some insight on life as a woman in the middle ages, though not as much as I'd hoped.   It did mention that she visited Julian of Norwich, and so I am revisiting Julian with the book I started listening to today. With some of the raspberries we picked yesterday Keziah made a sekanjabin.  She also made a lemon-mint sekanjabin.  Here is a random site with a recipe for reference purposes.  I don't know what Keziah used for a recipe, and the link I posted is a different flavor.  Today my happy things include: While out and about this morning Keziah noticed a cloud that looks like it has a hole in it.  I got a picture, but there are lots of wires in it. Keziah and I got the tent out of the storage unit.  That puts us one step closer to being prepared for camping this weekend.   Some packing for the weekend and the errands I...

Here are some happy things from this Friday with flurries: As I write this, I have decided that I need sleep more than I need the money and I am not going to volunteer for a shift tonight. Instead of sleeping this afternoon, I watched this season's last episode of The Rings of Power . Had I slept, I could have gone in for a few hours. I'm happy to stay home instead. All year I have been getting email reminders to get a new pair of work shoes. The company pretty much pays for one pair of shoes if we buy them through Zappos and don't spend too much. I don't remember the allotment amount. Today I finally ordered a pair to replace my current ones. They should be delivered right after Christmas. While I was sitting watching things this afternoon, I heard what sounded like a plow go by. I was surprised to see that it was, in fact, a plow going by and it was snowing. I knew it was supposed to snow, I just hadn't noticed it. Later, when I went outside there was ma...
