2024 Happy Blog Challenge Continues

A few things happened today that I am not happy about. I lost my work badge (that I use to enter the building and clock in on) and my car didn't pass inspection. This is not the place for that. Here are some happy Friday things: The work day went by fast. Probably because I was in the Problem Solve area. It is always a good thing when the ten hour work day feels short. There are some new-to-me songs that are being played at work. One of them is a song from Japan that sounds really familiar. It was originally released in 1979 in Japan but apparently has become popular again thanks to the internet. I still have no reason that it should sound familiar, except that it sounds very 1970's. 🙃 Anyway, it made for interesting conversations at work. My big happy thing for today is that Bel is here! They were supposed to be here before Thanksgiving but had car problems. They still have car problems, so they took a bus. Bel will be helping Keziah at the store over the holiday...

It took me some time to get going today, so I didn't spend as much time getting the apartment ready.  Here are some happy things: Before going to the apartment to paint the bedroom more, I remembered to stretch.  That, and less time on the floor, means that I am feeling better tonight than I did last night. I'm sure more could be done, but I'm calling the wall where my bed will go and the one in the east side of the house done.  There is a stonewall and random, probably imaginary, flowers.  I like it, and since it is where I will be sleeping, that is what matters. The ceiling fan had seen better days.  The other day I painted it white.  Well, I think it was supposed to be white. Today I added color. All but one blade painted on Friday.  Yes, I did try to wash it first. Color! The bedroom windows are now as clean as I could get them.  Some of them tilted in to wash the outside better than others.  Once I'm in there, I will have a morning sun c...

Cat update: it is possible that Nanni passed whatever the obstruction was.  This morning the person feeding and caring for the cats while we were gone said she was seeming much better and actually ate a bunch of her food.  Keziah searched through the litter boxes and might have found the problem.  Unfortunately, we can't be sure.  She seems so much happier now. Here are some other happy things from today: We stayed at a hotel last night so we didn't have to drive far for sleep after the busy day yesterday.  The rooms weren't cheap, but we were all so tired it was the safer choice to make.  The room Bel, a friend, and I shared had a kitchenette and living room area.  Then, in a separate room, were the two queen beds and off that, the bathroom.  I have never been in such a large hotel room.  And the shower, oh.my.gosh.  The shower had three shower heads with two controls.  I think the room was set up to accommodate people with physica...
