 Happy things from Monday:

  • There need to be goals, small milestones, in the emptying of my boxes and purging of my things.  My old room isn't empty and I am already feeling overwhelmed by what I need to do.  Because of that my first goal will be to work on boxes a little every non-working/non-event day.  Today that meant rearranging some of the boxes and their contents to make more sense.  I also packed a few more things from my old room.  Yay for steps forward!
  • Keziah and Zed did a lot of packing in my old room today.  I'm so grateful for the wonderful family I have.

  • There is a short wall at the top of the stairs to my bedroom.  Today it got washed off (again) and things got put there that I want there; Books, tissues, a place for my wallet and pocket contents, and the polka-dot plant Amy gave me yesterday.

  • The irises are blooming.  I'm glad they are tall enough to reach over the grass growing near them.

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...

Drinking Water

Some happy things from today: At work, I was assigned to the Problem Solve area.  This is always good.  However, I also got to train someone else for that task.  I'm not a Learning Ambassador, but it was nice to train someone. At home, I chose down time.  I even took a nap.  The alarm I set to wake me so I could get Gideon at school, did not keep me awake.  Thankfully, Zed was home and woke me up.  Hopefully I'll be able to fall asleep when I need to.  Gideon wants to start an after school improv club.  Nanni, our brown tabby, is still not as happy as we would like.  She was drinking water this afternoon and I was told she ate some today.  These are very good things.  Drinking water. I didn't want the flash to distract her. ☮ Started listening to: Happiness for Beginners , by Katherine Center.   Still reading the book I didn't intend to, Saving Nora .  The author appears to be Josh Williams.   Thank you...

Boxes

Here are a few happy things from my very tired today: When I got to work this morning the coworker I wrote about yesterday was entering the building at the same time as me.  I asked him if he was still happy about the boxes.  He told me how he had spent time yesterday organizing everything for ease of use.  I'm happy that he is happy. The lilacs have a short lifespan.  They still look and smell nice.  This might be my last picture of them though.   There are other flowers that will bloom soon.  I do love the lilacs. Lilacs TF sent me a package.  It is a llama mug that changes color with warm liquid.   The mug is covered with little pieces of Styrofoam.  Apparently the trip was bumpy.  Still, it arrived safely.      ☮ Currently listening to: Dune , by Frank Herbert.
