I Won a Prize!

Other people at my work have to work 60 hours, my schedule only requires 50 hours. I could volunteer to put in more time, but I doubt I will. My body is tired and I have learned that self-care is important.  It is especially important because I feel like I am fighting a cold.  Here are some happy things from today:

  • Work supplied sandwiches from an unknown place tonight. The food I chose was yummy. The packages had the general ingredient list on them. It made it so much easier to find something I liked. There was also a cookie and bag of chips. I gave the cookie to Zed's mom because I can't eat chocolate and the rest of the family is away for the day. She let me have a biscuit and some of the bacon she had been cooking when I got home. This was a win-win situation. 


  • Another thing they do at work this time of year is give away things. I won an iPad. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it yet, I'm not really an Apple person. Winners are chosen at random, I didn't have to do anything but show up and stay at work for the day.  It's still nice to win something. 


  • Since the rest of the family had other things to do today I watched a Christmas movie, slept for a while, then watched another one. Today’s two movies were sequels to yesterday’s-- A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding and A Christmas Prince: The Royal Baby. Now that I have finished that trio of movies I hope to find a couple classic Christmas movies to watch before returning to the endless supply of newer Netflix Christmas shows.

Peaches

 We missed the window of opportunity to harvest any peaches.  The local wildlife however did not.  I moved a wildlife camera to the very overgrown garden and got some evidence as to what animals are scavenging for food there.  The videos I have uploaded to YouTube are my happy things for today.  It has been a while and I hope I did it all right.  Enjoy! https://youtu.be/eGde2FkGAM4 https://youtu.be/sPTce7Xg-f8 https://youtu.be/Z478nzo-pOs https://youtu.be/CakS5Z6Aisg https://youtu.be/4XVWowksaO8 ☮ Thank you for being part of my happy things.  Stay safe.

Snow Sounds

 When I don't work and my schedule adjusts to daytime, I often stay snuggled in bed doing things on my phone. This morning it was snowing outside. I can hear the cars go by. I can tell when the roads are wet. Right now (around 8 AM) I can tell that some snow is staying on the roads and under tires, at least in some spots. There is a muffled crunching sort of sound the tires make when rolling over snow. And yet there isn't. I realize that the crunching was a slower vehicle, probably on the side of the road, turning, or driveway. Most cars are traveling at a reasonable speed, the snow is most likely blowing to the sides, lightweight. The sound is still muffled slightly which tells me that the snow is falling.  Other happy things for today: Day 5: Today the A&S challenge is not an unfinished project.  I found my lucet so I decided to refresh my memory on how to do a lucet braid. There were YouTube videos and multiple failed attempts. Eventually I used a video ...

Weaving Day

My grandson, Gideon, has been trying to learn magic tricks with cards. He struggles with the slight of hand, and knows it. I admire that he is trying. He also tries to invent new card games. Other happy things from today: My friend, Amy, had a craft afternoon at her house today for just a few people. Most of us had weaving projects. I didn't get as much done as I wanted, but made some good progress on my loom. It was also good to spend time with friends.  Later, at home the family had leftovers from Thanksgiving, including pie for dessert. The pies are almost gone and I have enjoyed them while we've had them.  We also watched a movie together. Spider-Man: No Way Home was a really good movie that Keziah and I had seen, but Gideon and Zed had not. There was laughter in the beginning of the movie and tears at the end. I like that we watch things together and often discuss them after. ☮ Currently reading: Pocketful of Miracles: Prayer, Meditations, and Affirmations ...
