Cinco de Mayo

Here are some happy things from today:

For most of the day I worked on getting things into the bedroom and put them away.  Keziah and Zed were awesome and brought my mattress over for me.  There was no way I could have done that.  I was hoping to get more done, but I am pleased with what got done.  

Summer look.

Cold weather look and an added throw pillow.

There is a small pile of things that I plan to donate.  Some downsizing is happening.  I'm hopeful that the downsizing will continue and become easier as I clear out my old room. 

It was raining today and I fell on what became one of my last trips back and forth of the day.  I'm happy that I do not seem to be seriously injured, just some bumps, aches, and pains.  I'm also very happy that I was carrying an empty basket to gather more things and not a full one.  A full basket would have been a wet mess with potentially broken things.

Yesterday I discovered a problem with the new-to-me car, Kia Optima.  When I got the car I was thrilled that it had three keys and a key fob.  It turns out that the key fob isn't working well.  It will lock and unlock all the doors except for the driver's.  I think it is something electrical and so is not something I plan to fix.  The key I was using when I figured this out didn't work in the door.  That seemed odd.  However, the good news is I figured something out.  The key that turns the car on, only turns the car on.  The other two keys don't.  One of the other keys locks and unlocks the doors and the other the trunk.  So I am no longer thrilled that three keys came with the car because none of them are a spare key.  I'm happy I know how to lock and unlock the door now.   Also, I think I know why the car is a Kia (Key-a).  😂  Zed's Kia Niro is a much newer vehicle and I have to say that the key fob on that Niro is well thought out and the company has come a long way in their key development.  

The other day I wrote about finding a name for the car.  Yesterday I talked with my friends about this.  I'm leaning towards Stormy.

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...
