Work!

There were a bunch of happy things from work today.  A few other happy things too:

  • The full moon was brilliant last night when I left for work.  I worked outside in the wee morning hours as well and got to look up at it often.  If only I could howl.  🤣


  • After our mid shift break there was a really exciting announcement that the managers wanted to make.  I admit, I was skeptical.  Sometimes I don't find exciting the same things they find exciting.  This time we all got a raise.  So that is very nice.  
  • There were other perks too, but they aren't being remembered by my tired brain right now.  
  • During a break, a coworker handed me not one, but two company themed bandanas.  I've been wearing bandanas at work all the time lately.  It keeps my flyaway hair from tickling my nose.  I thought it was very thoughtful and I'm planning to wear one tomorrow. 


  • Work celebrated the equinox today with a cookout.  They got out the grill and cooked up hotdogs and hamburgers.  It was a nice break and made it easier for me to stay a little later.  A little bit of food can supply just enough energy to go longer.
  • A good part of my work day was spent trying to properly dispose of hazardous materials.  This time has me wondering if I should take some chemistry courses.  I stayed late, working with another employee, to clean up the area.  At home, I received an email with a gift for getting that done.  There were a bunch of gifts to choose from, I chose earbuds and headphones.  
  • When I got home, I fell asleep!

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...
