Sore Feet

 Happy things from today:

  • My apologies if this seems repetitive, it is Thursday and my work week is over.  Yay!
  • At work, I did something I don't usually do, I had a conversation with someone that became not work related when I should have been working.  I asked the person what his favorite games are.  The answers were Mysterium and The Resistance.  I think Mysterium sounds like fun.  I'm not as sure that I would like The Resistance.  What this reminded me of is how much I enjoy listening to people talk about things they are passionate about. 
  • After work I took a nap until it was time to pick Gideon up from school.  A little later, he was busy doing his homework and the sun was setting.  I decided to go for a “little” walk.  It was a beautiful day, the sky had pastel colors, and the air was fresh.  About half a mile into this walk the fact that my feet were sore was a distraction.  That is when my brain yelled to me, “What is wrong with you?  You worked all night, in new shoes, and already have over 20,000 steps! Of course your feet hurt!”  That is when I turned around and went home.  It was a pretty walk.

  • Thanks to Keziah’s great planning and shopping skills I was able to finish making dinner for the family.  The shepherd's pie came out of the oven right after Keziah and Zed got home from the store.  It was good, and I was hungry.

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

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...
