On the Property

Here are some happy things from today:

  • It was an early morning for me so I could help Gideon get ready for school on time.  From there I went to the dentist for a filling.  This is not something that I want to do, but something I know I should do.  I'm happy it is behind me.
  • Since it wasn't too far away, I went to Sierra and REI, two different stores that carry hiking supplies.  I'm hoping to take a short backpacking trip Friday into Saturday with my friend Stephanie.  One thing that I hadn't purchased yet was some kind of bear bag to hang.  Between the two stores I got some things that should do the job.  Then, who did I see at the store?  Stephanie.  Sometimes the timing just works.  
  • I had to go home so I could grab some things and go to work.  They were looking for someone to come in for 1.5 hours and I decided to do it.  It is really weird to be at work, at that <i(time of day, and have energy.  
  • At home I tried out the bag and supplies I got to hang food while camping.  I was able to throw it onto a tree limb on the property.   It took a while to find a tree that seemed right for the job.  
  • I haven't been out onto the property since early spring.  The trail is ..........,?m 9th l⁸ hard to find.  I didn't go in too far, but far enough to see that the Witch Tree is still standing.  This makes me happy.
The "opening" to the trail.

More overgrown trail.

The Witch Tree in the distance.

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

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.
