Weird Sound

As I write this I still haven't decided if I will go to work or not tonight.  There is a storm that started as rain, currently sounds like sleet or freezing rain, and is supposed to turn to snow.  I keep hoping work will cancel so I don't have to.

Here are some happy things from today:

  • The rain didn't start until after I got home from work.  Zed and Keziah got home from the store safely.  Keziah has already posted that the store will closed tomorrow due to weather.

  • I took a nap this afternoon4 an⁵d slept deeply.
  • Here is a funny story...

The four of us were sitting in the living room watching Star Trek Voyager.  Keziah said something that I didn't quite hear.  The show is paused and all three of them get up, spread out, and start looking for the sound of paper being crinkled.  I stay on the couch, listening to the sleet gently tap the windows and wondering what I missed.  Zed comes downstairs and declares that Nanni, our cat, is not the noise maker, it is the sleet hitting the house.  I was fairly oblivious to everything, probably because of my lack of sleep or the cold medication I had earlier.  We all had a good laugh at the fact that Nanni isn't ingesting something stupid, that they all got up because of the weather, and that I remained calm.  

Nanni, the brown tabby, and me.

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

Image
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.
