2024 Happy Blog Challenge Continues

The SCA event this coming weekend is a little complicated.  I am doing more things for it than I planned to in a smaller amount of time.  There are surprise awards that are happening that need preparation.  Some of that happened today.  Here are the happy things I can talk about: This morning, I drove to a friend's house and dropped off the sewing I was helping her out with.  That is now out of my hands. Yay! Earlier I had been perusing Facebook Marketplace for a treadmill.  There was one for free not far from my friend's house so I checked it out.  The first thing I decided after seeing it was that I probably couldn't fit it into my car.  I drove by and pulled over at a parking lot to do some more research.  It seems that it is a good possibility that the treadmill weighed over 100 pounds.  So the second thing I decided is that I wouldn't have been able to lift it by myself.  The third thing I decided is that if I ever get a treadm...

It wasn't a very exciting day.  Compared to my last two weekends, today was bland.  Here are some happy things from today: Much of my day I stayed in my room with Netflix and stitching.  I finished my task on the garment and it is going back to its maker to be completed.  Yay! Between the apartment and the house is some goldenrod that I've been meaning to pull.  There were at least three bees pollinating it when I walked by.  I'm glad the bees were enjoying it.  I'll try to pull it before it goes to seed.

Happy things from today: There is an SCA event coming up next weekend.  I have a bunch of things to do before then.  One of those things is hand sewing.  I've slowly been finishing some seams.  Tomorrow I go into overdrive so I can finish by this weekend.

Le Guin.  ---This was the fourth book in the Earthsea series.  So far it is my favorite of the series.  Oddly enough, according to an author's note, this book was not well received.   Thank you for being part of my happy things. Stay safe.
