May 12th Happy things from a tired Tuesday: There has been a person at work that I have been trying to train in Hazardous Materials for over a month.  Today I finally was able to work with her and at least get her started with all the processes. The IronCross Shamrock Oxalis that I planted a while back have some blossoms! ☮ Continued listening to: Paladin's Grace , by T. Kingfisher. Continued to read: No Time Like the Past , by Jodi Taylor.

 Spring! Happy Friday things: Flowers and plants are getting bigger, some of them anyway. Of the six tulips I'm trying to grow in water, two have produced roots and have been promoted to the window box in the kitchen. There are a couple things, probably tulips, getting bigger in the containers I have outside. The herbs are also getting bigger.  Yay! IronCross Shamrock Oxalis Tulips Bel and I spent some time cutting and sanding some boards. These are to be used in my room to hold backpacks. I'm looking forward to having them off the floor. Most of the afternoon and into the evening I worked with my friend on exchequer (treasurer) reports. Then we had an online meeting with some other friends and went over all the exchequer files to do a book review. It didn't go too bad, but it could have gone smoother. It is amazing how many little things I have forgotten concerning files and spreadsheets. There is a list of things for us to do by the end of April. It was a good l...

IronCross Shamrock Oxalis  For  St. Patrick’s Day Happy St. Patrick’s Day!  Here are some happy things from my day: There were not many problems in Problem Solve last night.  Things were steady, but not busy.  It was a nice change.  After that there also wasn’t too much to do in Hazardous Materials.  Then I had an assessment to be able to remain a Learning Ambassador, which I passed.  The shift ended with a Safety Committee meeting where we had pizza and talked about the safety culture and how to improve it.   New vest! The weather started out in the 50’s overnight and steadily got colder.  It is supposed to be in the teens tonight.  The point of this is that the snow is melting and parts of the yard can actually be seen now.  Even though it will be really cold tonight, there shouldn't be any precipitation.   Front Back... not all snow anymore. Wind blowing. ☮ Started listening to: Nettle & Bone , by T. Kingf...

 Happy Sunday things: There was a lovely sunrise this morning.   Last night there was a shift offered for this morning.  I didn't take it.  This morning, it was still there, so I did.  It was from 9:10 to 11:50 but I stayed until about 12:20.  The amount of energy I have when I go in at the end of the shift versus the beginning is amazing. My energy was mostly spent at work, though.   When I got home, all I wanted to do was rest.  Dishes got done.  The second dishwasher still seems to be working and has produced clean dishes.  This makes me very happy. The parsley has sprouted! For the first time in about a week I opened the window curtain in my bedroom.  The oxalis bulb I planted at the beginning of the month has sprouted!  It is an IronCross Shamrock Oxalis and it is up in time for St. Patrick's Day.   ☮ Started listening to: Dale Carnegie's 14-Day Worry Cure , by Dale Carnegie.
