Butterfly Bush

When a coworker and I walked towards the Problem Solve area first thing this morning, we imagined that we would get a lot accomplished.  When we got there, that was squashed by the amount of work that didn't get done yesterday.  It was frustrating.  However, it didn't seem anywhere near as frustrating as I imagined whoever left the area like that felt yesterday.  I've been that person and I don't like it.  Here are some happy things from today:

  • We got help.  A third person came over for the middle of the shift and helped us get things in order.  When I left for the day, only a few minutes late, things were organized and there was nothing left, by us, for whoever will work there tomorrow.  It was nice to leave it so well.  
  • At home, I fell asleep.  I didn't sleep long.  When I got up, I ate and went through some more of my stuff.  I got rid of about an inch thick worth of papers from when I was a paraeducator.   There is so much more to go through, but today was an inch.  Yay, downsizing.
  • Then, I fell asleep again!  The next time I woke up was about the time I should have been asleep.  I decided to do something instead of just getting ready for bed.  One of those things was to check out the butterfly bush.  Most of it is blooming.  It's pretty.  I don't remember ever seeing a butterfly on it though?

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.

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...
