Busy-ness

 January 16th

Intention for the day: To try and bring joy/happiness into my interactions with others.

Some happy things from today:

  • Yesterday I went to bed super early for me on a Thursday.  I woke up in the late evening and decided to just stay in my room.  I had problems posting the blog, once that was figured out I hunkered down and soon fell asleep again.  All in all I got a little over eight hours of sleep.  That is a good amount for me.  Yay sleep!
  • For a short time I visited Keziah at DIY Craft & Thrift.   She was busy cutting out pieces to make a quilt.  

Love that shirt!

  • Bel, Corvidae, and I went to the old house to get some of the things we need to start planting seeds for spring.  Plans for planting are beginning!
  • At Craft Night tonight I helped get more tokens ready for the upcoming event.  More people were there than usual so we got a lot done.  I was also offered a hotel room with a friend for the event.  It isn't far from home, but it is so much easier when I can stay there. 

End of day intention wrap up:  Did I bring joy and happiness?  I don't know.  I tried to not be too serious unless the situation called for it and I tried to bring humor when I could.  However, it was not as much on the forefront of my mind as I would have liked.

Birka Day Two

 January 24th Intention for the day: Look for the positive/proactive side in all the exchanges possible. Here are some happy things from today: Much of the early part of my day was spent volunteering at the event.  I also attended a meeting for exchequers (treasurers).  There is a possibility that I will be doing that again. I got to spend a little bit of time with my new protégés.  They both know that I want them to update their information on their wiki pages.   I ended up having a lot of fun with a friend who tried to steal a French fry from me.  It became a lovely game of trying to get a snack without the other noticing.  During court this afternoon some wonderful people were given awards for their deeds.  One of these people is a dear friend and the current Seneschal of our Barony.  He was made a Member of the Order of the Mark.  This is a new peerage level award in the SCA.  Here is a link that describes the current peer ...

Happy 2026

 You found it! January 1st. Welcome to a new year of me looking for happiness and gratitude within my day. Thank you for being here. I'm going to try to make a small change to my life habits and I'm going to attempt to bring that to my daily blog.   A recent video I saw was about habits to add to a morning to make a happier life. One of these suggestions was to start the day with an intention. That should mean something mindful or positive. It might turn into a goal for me as I tend to be practical so my mind works that way more. One intention for today was going to include getting out for a walk. As the wind blows and the temperature drops, I'm debating that. That is also more like a goal. The other was to do something different that I might not otherwise do. Writing an intention down before my day starts and trying to follow-through will be part of this. I hope you join me as I attempt to build this new habit. The above was written after a nice breakfast out ...

Sunrise Spectacular

Some happy things from today: Since I was up in the middle of the night this morning I decided to try to be a little productive and did laundry.  I had expected to be the only one awake but I wasn't.  I'm happy that I was able to get my laundry in and out before it had an impact on any of the other ten people in the house.   A bonus for getting up early was to get to see a spectacular before-the-storm sunrise. There were other things I thought I would do today, most didn't happen.  Instead I brought Gideon to school and one of our housemates to take their driving test.  The driving test was scheduled at a DMV about an hour away.  We left early so we could practice some things before the test.  We found a mostly abandoned parking lot and practiced parallel parking.  It was a good time.  Things out of my mouth concerning our “pretend” on street parking included, “Well, you're on the sidewalk,” and “Great, but you're still half in the stree...
