Foliage!

With a day off from work I stopped taking meds to mask my cold symptoms.  I'm not feeling too bad, but definitely a little stuffy and coughing a bit.  I'm also tired faster.  Here are some happy things from today:

  • It was important to me that I worked on the artsy stuff in the morning before I got tired.  Here are the results from today's prompts:

The Inktober prompt of 'Rescue' for some reason reminded me of a supposed quote that I have seen joked about from Lassie, "Timmy's in the well!"  It's okay, help is on the way.

The Zentangle prompt was the tangle Algae.  I did the one in black ink first.  Later in the day I had a few minutes and decided that color would be nice so I did a second one.

  • After doing my art stuff, I decided to rearrange my room.  I didn't, but I know what I want to do.  I moved a couple things and measured.  It should work.  This has given me a direction on where and how to spend my energy in cleaning and organizing my mess.  Moving multiple times and going from a house to a bedroom is hard.  If only it was easier to just get rid of things.  In the process, I found a pair of earrings that I have been missing for a long time, and other jewelry too.  These particular earrings are in a drawing of me that I would see now and again and that would remind me I lost them.  Looking at them today, after learning a little about lampwork at Pennsic, I have a new appreciation for their beauty and how they were made.


  • A friend and her family are going away and are looking for a petsitter.  We went for a walk at Head's Pond Conservation Area so we could talk about the dog, Bjorn, and he and I could get to know each other better.  The foliage is beautiful and despite the forecast, we only felt a few sprinkles.  Their family used to watch my dog years ago.  Bjorn is a good dog.












And from the Finch app:

I am!  I still have a ways to go though. 

  • In an attempt at being whimsical I tried to find a piece of lace or something similar to hang on my wall.  What I found was an old lingerie bag, but it does what I wanted.  I pinned it to the wall and hung some of the earrings I found today from it.  It isn't exactly what I was thinking, but I like it, for now.

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...

Back to Work

 April 28th Here are some happy things from today: Very little sleep was had by me last night, and I made it through work.  Yay!  It was tempting to leave early.  I was assigned to Problem Solve in the beginning of the shift and Broomstick at the end.  There was also a Safety Committee meeting with pizza.  Surprisingly, it was good to be back. The quarter one report for my volunteer treasurer/exchequer position is due this week.  I worked on it way too long yesterday.  Today, with fresh eyes, I got it to balance.  Yay!  There is still more to do, but I'm getting there.  I noticed a new bloom in the yard.  Google tells me that it is a rhododendron but the leaves are a lot smaller than what I'm used to. Google also tells me that this is lemon balm.  😊 ☮ Continued to read: No Time Like the Past , 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 ...
