Shower

 Intention for the day: Be joyful/happy.

Happy Thursday things:

  • At work, I didn't work in Problem Solve.  It was good for the most part.  Honestly, it was much easier to leave the job behind for the weekend. 
  • At home a housemate needed a ride.  I didn't want to because I tend to be very tired after work.  Corvidae couldn't because of some health concerns.  However, together we were able to conquer this task.  I drove and Corvidae kept me awake for the drive home.  The housemate was able to be dropped off at a friend's house and Corvidae and I got to talk about random things without house chores looming over us.  It was a win-win-win. 
  • Then I had a snack, opened my Amazon packages, and went to my room to ‘rest’.  Ten hours later and I'm awake writing this blog.  I didn't sleep that whole time, almost 8.5 hours according to FitBit.  I did wake up and try to write, only to fall back asleep.  Also, I have laundry in and have already allowed phone distractions in.  

This is the new shower head I purchased to replace the one that is full of calcium/limescale.  Yes, I know I could have cleaned it.  There is an equation in my head of time spent cleaning/fixing vs replace (or not replaceable) and enjoy more vs I have a job right now.  Depending on the item, there may be more variables. This time, I have a job right now, won.  If it works as advertised, it will be a worthwhile purchase. 

End of day intention wrap up:  One of my early intentions on work days was to learn coworker's names.  I learned two names and confirmed a third. Yesterday I met someone new as well.  Interactions mostly began with a smile on my face.

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...
