Fickle Sky

 Tuesday's happy things:

  • The waning moon rose orange on the horizon as I drove to work.  Always peeking above the trees when I was not in a position to pull over and take a picture.  Had I not had to go to work, I might have chased the moon.  🌖  I did get some pictures of the stars before I left the house though. 




  • Work was … different.  When I got there I hadn't been assigned a task yet.  That isn't unusual for people who are trained in most things because then they can put you wherever it ends up empty when someone doesn't show.  Then I was assigned to stow.  I got the equipment set up, went to the aisle and stowed for maybe five minutes before someone replaced me.  Then I went to induct.  I got the equipment, got it set up and didn't even have the chance to induct before I was pulled from there.  This time it was to do training for a first day person.  This person however is training to be a manager.  It has been over a year since I did first day kind of training, thankfully another manager has recently gone through it.  They showed me where to find the classes and which ones to give and then I got to sit while the new manager learned things and I waited to answer questions.  Before I write a book, I think it went okay.  When the ‘real’ Learning Ambassador came in, I got to help train a bunch of other people.  I like the part training when we are out on the floor teaching and learning more than the things learned on the computers.  It was a pretty good night.  
  • And then there was snow today.  It was pretty.  That said, I'm very much done with snow for a while.  😁

  • Not quite sunset, but about my bedtime, the sun peeked out.

Finished listening to: I See You've Called in Dead, by John Kenney.  ---- I really enjoyed this book about an obituary writer who loses his way and finds it again.

Continued to read: A Trail Through Time, by Jodi Taylor.  

Thank you for being here and being part of my daily happy things. Stay safe!

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...
