Sat-t-D

 Here are some happy things from today:

  • While waiting for the dog, Bjorn, to run around the back, I listened (with the help of the Merlin App) for birds. I definitely saw a bluejay and a cardinal.  There were some I didn’t see close enough to be able to identify.  


  • A little later we went for a walk along the Windham Rail Trail.  Again I pulled out the Merlin App.  The birds were elusive and always a little too far away to identify visually.  




  • The room I am staying in while petsitting has a light with a pull chain.  The string off the pull chain had seen better days.  I spent some time and finger wove a new one.  This one is long enough that I should be able to reach it without sitting up in bed.  I’m used to either asking Alexa or using an app to turn off my lights at home.  I put gaps in the cord to be able to hang things on.  I put my charge cords through it and plan to hang my glasses off it when I sleep.  I have knocked my glasses off the side table twice now, hopefully this will solve that problem.


  • During this month of November I was planning to work on The Muffin Story that I wrote last year.  I’ve been having a hard time sitting down and really looking at it.  I finally finished reading through it all today.  It is only twenty pages long.  I should have carved out enough time sooner.  One of the big things I noticed that needs to change is that I managed to use the wrong name for one of my characters!  I called them one name and then started calling them a different name later on.  😅

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 ...
