Nostalgia
Happy first day of December. Here are some things from today that made me happy:
- When I finally got up and got going this morning, I made a list and stuck to it. I went through a box and emptied it. Some of it went to the trash and some just got moved around/put away. There was a pile of Avon jewelry that I kept. Everything was still in the boxes. This is a problem I have, keeping boxes. The jewelry is now put away and the boxes are in the recycle bin. Yay, downsizing!
- I also did some cleaning in my room, laundry, and dishes. In my room I have a thing my mom made when I was a kid. It hangs and has little pockets on it. I'm sure I thought the fabric was really groovy. Apparently I still do since I want to keep it. I've been trying to figure out what to use it for and realized last week that my wallet fits into one of the pockets quite nicely. I had some pins on it too and added some more from the jewelry I unpacked.
- One of the things I found was a printed paper with directions from New Hampshire to Missouri. I don't remember what year it was, possibly 2000. We didn't have a GPS. I feel like if mobile GPSs existed then, they were expensive. Anyhow, it brought back memories of trying to read directions or a map while driving. Talk about a distraction! The GPS is a piece of technology that I am very happy exists. I used to use a washable marker to write directions on the top of the windshield in the RV. Once a section of the drive was done, I wiped it off.
- After feeling at least a little bit accomplished I went for a walk. It was a cold, sunny day. A beautiful day for walking. I made a point of walking up some hills.
- My last task for the day was to go to the studio and finish patching a pair of jeans. There were two bins of fabric to bring there from the apartment. Both bins made it into the car, only one made it into the studio. I tripped and fell while carrying the first bin in (not a happy thing) and decided that was my limit for today. I patched my jeans and went home to ice my sore spots. I'm fine. I think the patches look pretty good.

Thank you for being part of my happy things. Stay safe.
