The Ides of March

Some happy Friday things:

  • Yesterday I wrote about making lists of things to do. I am happy to report that I did the things on the list that I set out to do today. The only thing I didn't do was go to Craft Night because it was canceled. I also added dishes and general cleaning of the kitchen and dining room to the list this morning after I did those things. I don't remember where I read that adding things to a list after you do something is good to do. It helps a person look back on the day and see that even though they didn't get to do what they wanted to complete, they were still busy and productive. It feels good to check off items on a to do list.
  • This afternoon Nanni, our cat that has been sick, went to the door, and then the window, to watch the robins eating in the yard. I saw one pull what seemed to be a worm out of the ground! Every time Nanni does something similar to what she did before she was sick, is a good thing.



  • My friend Amy and I planned on taking a walk along a rail trail today. The weather didn't agree so we walked the Mall instead. We had a lovely visit. The Mall wasn't too crowded and we picked up some delicious smoothies on the way out.  
  • One of my things to do involved visiting Nanni's vet for medical supplies.  Outside the office spring flowers were up, but not blooming yet.  There were buds though!

  • In other news, my hair is long.  The following picture is what happens when I don't pull my braid back when tying my shoe.

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.

Wow, Long and PICTURES

What a wonderful day!  Here are some happy highlights and a bunch of pictures. My friend Stephanie (I got her permission to use her name) and I started out later than planned but Magalloway Mountain wasn't too long of a drive from where we camped.  After driving over miles of dirt roads we ended up at the trailhead.  We chose to go up the Bobcat Trail and down the Coot Trail.  The Bobcat Trail is a narrow trail that doubled as a small brook in places. 😉  When we got to the top of the mountain there was a trail to an overlook and we went there first.  The overlook was over a cliff, but it was beautiful and we could see so far.  The tower view was also spectacular and gave us a 360 degree view.  I don't know where the borders are, but from where we stood in New Hampshire we could see Canada and Maine, probably Vermont, too. The Coot Trail was wider and probably could be used by vehicles that can handle steep hills with rocks and gravel when maintai...
