Fun Errand Day

 In this house, my room is the one of extremes, at least it seems that way to me.  It seems that it is either cold or hot.   Walking in this afternoon it seemed on fire.  That is when I noticed the orange glow of the sun setting through my window blinds.  As usual, real life is better than the pictures I took.


Other happy things from today:

  • They were looking at people to volunteer to leave work so I did.  I only worked a few hours.  I went to sleep late yesterday and didn't sleep well so leaving seemed better than falling asleep on my feet.  It made for a nice day where my feet didn't hurt too much.
  • There were errands that I got done today instead of waiting for Friday.  That means I will have time to do other things on Friday.
  • One of the errands was to shop for Gideon's birthday.  I have amazed myself by getting some things for him more than two weeks before his birthday.   The things still need to be put together in a way to make the complete package.  I'm very excited and look forward to sharing this all with you, the readers, after his birthday in February.
  • It was almost like a day off and I was able to work on my weaving for about an hour.  That more than fulfills the 15 minutes a day for the 100 Day A&S Challenge.  There was almost as much unweaving as there was weaving though so not a lot of forward momentum happened.  Since this is my practice piece to retrain my brain for weaving, I'm not going to worry about it.
The white arch thing is from today.

Deer, Deer...

 It was a working day so I am going to try to keep this short.  The other day I downloaded the videos from the wildlife camera out back.  I had the chance to watch them today and have uploaded four of them to my YouTube channel.  They will be released today, January 18, 2022 at 8:00 PM.  That said, here are my happy things for today: There were a bunch of videos because I hadn't backed them up recently.  The first one I chose has a lovely eight point  buck .  Today I learned that some parts of the country count all the points on the antlers and some count the points on only one side.   The second video has at least one  doe .  I think it is a pair of does. One night a  fox  came through and visited. The last one that I chose to publish on YouTube has some anxiety.  Some deer are being chased by what seems to be a  coyote .  Only a chase on the video, no capture.  Exciting! Day 16 of the A&S challenge I make a fast and dirty prototype pocket on a pair of jeans.  The objective i

Yesterday's activities left me with very little energy this morning. To be fair, I also wasn't able to stay awake when I wrote yesterday's blog and was up and down most of the night trying to finish it. Whatever the reason, energy was lacking today. Eventually I did pull myself out of bed and was occasionally productive. Here are some happy things from today: Since I knew I would have a hard time getting my step count I started walking to the department store. I left about 45 minutes before Keziah did and she picked me up on her way to the store. Between the walk and department store I had around 8500 steps by lunch time. There was only a little pacing in the evening for me to make my 10,000 step-a-day goal. Along the road I kept seeing a flower. When I finally took a picture of it, I realized that I have seen this flower in other places but forgot its name. The Lens app was no help this time, probably because my picture wasn't very clear. It is a pretty lit

Placebo Effect? -kinda long

 It was 2016 when I first tried to blog every day about something I was happy for.  If my tired mind is mathing correctly, that makes this the seventh year.  The reason I started was an attempt at reducing my depression.  It hasn't been a cure.  Getting my step count in every day for the last sixteen-ish months, and thus more exercise, also hasn't been a cure.  That said, the last... almost two years... have been rough on the world during the pandemic.  In the past I have tried a few anti-depression medications and not had success.  There have been weird side-effects including deepening the depression.  Then I don't want to try any new meds for a few years.  It was time to try again though.  The doctor prescribed a different medication and yesterday I took the first dose.   Today I couldn't find the charger for my FitBit.  Instead of tearing through my room leaving nothing but destruction in my path, I went through things, cleaning and organizing as I went.  At some poi
