Sixty is a Big Number

Here are some happy things from my birthday:

  • Turning 60 meant starting my day with some ibuprofen.  🤣


  • At work I was assigned to the Problem Solve area.  I only mentioned to one person that it was my birthday.  It was a moment that it seemed okay to bring it up in conversation.  Other than that, people at work didn't know and I'm okay with that.  They brought in food for us from the Pressed Cafe. 
  • I clocked out of work at 12:19 P zzassss on 12/19.  
  • After work I went to Keziah’s store.  She wasn't there though.  Bel, Zed, and some friends were there so I got to be with people.  After some lunch, Bel and I walked along Main Street to the Capitol where there are some holiday displays.  One of them is controversial and has received some vandalism.  That makes me sad.  I am glad that I got to see what displays are there.  








  • I bought Bel a pair of shoes for my birthday.  🤣  Seriously though, they needed some good hiking shoes if they are going to hike with me.  So Bel got shoes so we can hike together more.


  • My day ended with sharing a cupcake with Gideon and listening to him do his math homework.   It was a good day.
  • Tomorrow I'll get a better look at all the messages on Facebook.  Today I need to get more sleep so I can be awake for work tonight.

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.
