Happy Birthday Gideon

 Happy things from this busy day:

  • This morning, I jumped out of bed when I realized it was the third day of February and I hadn't paid my mortgage.  The mortgage is paid and I can forget about that for another month.  🤣
  • Before heading out for the day I spun the wheel to clean/organize something in my room.  “Closet” won the spin so I set my timer for fifteen minutes and went through the clothes.  I did some rearranging, found two shirts I don't want anymore, and removed the garb I had in my closet and put it into another closet for garb.  A few things I pulled out I hadn't seen in a while and decided to wear them today.

What a mess!

These are scarves that I forgot were hanging in my closet.

Garb and Winston.

It looks a little better.

  • Gideon, my grandson, turned twelve today.  On the way to the store, I took him out for lunch at Five Guys.  Happy Birthday, Gideon!  We met some of his family at the Golden Corral Restaurant for dinner.  It was busy and a good time.  Gideon got to hold his baby cousin.

  • The afternoon we all spent at Keziah’s store, DIY Craft & Thrift.  She received a large amount of donations that were in the front part of the store.  They all got moved to the backroom.  The store was busy.  A friend came up to spend some time with Keziah.  They are making her an outfit and needed to pin Keziah into it for fitting.  Keziah got them flowers because they will be speaking for Keziah next month when she earns her Laurel (highest award for Arts & Sciences in the SCA).

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...

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...

Sore Thursday

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.
