2024 Happy Blog Challenge Continues

Here are some happy things from today: There was a class I was thinking about attending this morning, but I didn't. Instead I spent some time organizing the tent and just hanging out.  There was a class, Meet the Mayor, that I tried to attend for Keziah who was off to do laundry.  Unfortunately,  the Mayor couldn't make it.  I was able to talk with new people, and that was good. My garb for the day. Most of the afternoon I spent moving things around in the common tent to make room for game night.  I got a bunch of things reorganized and I mowed some of the area with the push mower I store here. The encampment. People came in sporadically to visit or play games.  We had a fire to sit around as well.  The rain that was forecast did not come.  Games that were played included Sushi Go, Bananagrams, and Snake Oil.  None of the games we ended up playing were medieval, but it was a lot of fun.

Say, "Bye, bye paper!" A friend has a birthday tomorrow and invited people over for games.  We played Carcassonne, Mysterium, and a Harry Potter game.  It was a fun time!  Driving home the full moon was high and bright, reflecting the snow and ice.   ☮ Currently listening to: Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity ,...

 Happy things from today: My apologies if this seems repetitive, it is Thursday and my work week is over.  Yay! At work, I did something I don't usually do, I had a conversation with someone that became not work related when I should have been working.  I asked the person what his favorite games are.  The answers were Mysterium and The Resistance .  I think Mysterium sounds like fun.  I'm not as sure that I would like The Resistance.  What this reminded me of is how much I enjoy listening to people talk about things they are passionate about.  After work I took a nap until it was time to pick Gideon up from school.  A little later, he was busy doing his homework and the sun was setting.  I decided to go for a “little” walk.  It was a beautiful day, the sky had pastel colors, and the air was fresh.  About half a mile into this walk the fact that my feet were sore was a distraction.  That is when my brain yelled to me, “Wha...
