Valentine's Day

 Happy Valentine's Day things:

  • Yesterday, while getting ready to fall asleep, I tried to take some notes about my time in the Problem Solve area.  I assume my asleep fingers ended up on the predictive text… “Problem Solve Notes Always Stowssssszz#yst/y@gmail.com I am not invisible ×”  The first five words I remember.   Nothing after the word ‘stow' was typed while awake.  Waking up to prepare for work and finding that started my night with a chuckle.  I even laughed on my drive in just to laugh.
  • Because it was Valentine's Day I wore my red work shirt and put on my red hairband.  I have two hairbands that I like, the red one and a matching green one.  I think I purchased them together one Christmas time years ago.  Most bands end up hurting my head after a little while but these don't.  I am happy to say that it stayed where it belonged on my head the entire night at work.


  • There may have been flurries while I was at work.  The car had a little bit of snow on it.  It also could have been windblown.  Either way, it left a pretty design on the windshield.  

  • When I got home, I ate and went right to bed.  I had a nice nap before my alarm went off to pick Gideon up at school.
  • For Valentine's Day, I wanted ice cream (no surprise). Gideon and I went to Dairy Queen for dinner and ice cream.  It was a nice way to spend the afternoon. They sell candy grams at his school and he got a few.  One that he was very pleased with had a personal note from a classmate.  He doesn't know which classmate because there are three with the same name!  One of the reasons he liked it was because they seemed to just be being friendly.  Dinner was a nice time with good company. 


  • The sun had just set when we got home from dinner.  The crescent moon was overhead with Jupiter by its side.  I sent Gideon back outside to see it.  He wasn't paying attention on his way in.  He was glad I asked him to check it out.

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.

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.
