2024 Happy Blog Challenge Continues

It was a long day with many things that happened.  Here are some happy things: It is sometime after midnight when I first step outside and experience fresh air.  There is the slightest breeze, the moon is close to full and everything feels open and clean.  It was a lovely start to my day. This one needs more information... Background info part 1: I work in a distribution center where packages come in and we sort them to be delivered to customers.  We don't put things into boxes, but sometimes things are damaged and we repackage them in the Problem Solve area into new packaging.  For the last few months the packing supplies haven't been getting replenished.  We have been making due with small envelopes, really small boxes and really big boxes.  We have gone through a lot of tape when we should be replacing a box or envelope. Background info part 2: There is a person I work with sometimes in Problem Solve that works there more than I and knows a lot....

 Happy things for this lovely Tuesday: It was supposed to be a working day, but we got home so late last night and I hadn't slept so I took a personal day.  After sleeping later than I wanted to I still felt pretty drained, so I am glad I was able to take the time off. I didn't figure out what a beautiful day it was outside until the afternoon.  I got my errands run and I got the sump pump to work.  Two good things checked off my list. A walk around the yard showed me that the crocus plants have recovered quite nicely.  A few maybe were squashed by the snow, or maybe they were older, the rest look great.  The daffodils are getting closer to blooming.  Next to the daffodils something purple is coming up.  I think it is a hyacinth, but I don't remember from last year.  I know I planted something new in that area last year, but I don't expect that to come up. Daffodils and ?  Crocuses Here are some more pictures from yesterday's total solar...
