Plans Change

Once again the heat has done me in.  My feet and ankles are swelling.  Instead of going to East Kingdom Royal 2 to sew, I stayed in camp most of the day. Here are some happy things:

  • While I was getting ready to head out, my friends stopped by with their one year old.  I'm so glad they did since I haven't made it to their encampment yet.
  • When they left, I noticed my feet and decided to wait before going out.  The heat had  caused my feet to swell.  I found things to do in the hammock Keziah brought.  Being in the hammock helped, so I am glad it was available.


  • While in the hammock I was able to fingerloop braid myself a new cord for my medallion.  It didn't come out the way I hoped, but it looks better than the cotton cord we got when we checked in at the gate.  I can tell where I tried to do slightly different braids and when I started to fall asleep.


  • There was a new-to-me moth on Keziah’s wagon.  Lens identified it as a Rose Hooktip Moth.  I never saw it fly.


  • When things cooled down a little I had some help hanging the solar lights for the common tent.   The lights were welcome as a bunch of us talked late into the night.
  • The cathedral next door is all lit up.

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. Stay safe.

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...
