Independence Day

Normally on the Fourth of July I watch the musical movie 1776. That didn’t happen, although I may put it on to fall asleep by. Here are some happy things for Independence Day:

• A little while after going to work tonight they offered voluntary time off. At first, I didn't take it. I had a nagging headache though so asked about it at break time. They let me go home and I got a little more sleep.
• In the afternoon I went to visit my friend, Amy. While sitting and talking I noticed a bird fly onto her porch and feed babies! I hadn't seen the nest that was close to the door when I came in. There were at least two babies. I didn’t get too close. It made me wonder what I did with my selfie stick. For me, the best reason for a selfie stick is to reach places, like bird nests, without getting too close.

• Another friend came to visit too and we all ended up doing weaving projects. We had a mini weaving circle. I got my loom warped and ready to weave the band for the next Champion that will be chosen in September.

• Back at home there was a house full of people (eight guests!) visiting Keziah and Zed. I was able to visit a little before heading to bed early so I can work tomorrow.

Simple Things

There is new equipment up and running at work. Apparently today was day two and there were problems to work out, but today went better. I didn't get to work in that area though and know very little.
Happy things from today:

• There was a beautiful full moon when I left for work in the middle of the night. With the snow it was very light outside.
• There was some lovely bird song when I got home from work this afternoon. I didn't see what kind for sure, but at least some sounded like chickadees. 
• After I ate, I was still hungry so I went looking through the pantry closet. I was pleasantly surprised to find vanilla meringues that I bought and forgot about last week. They were very good and melted in my mouth.

Tomorrow, March 8, 2023 is International Women's Day.
