Is It Really Friday?

Today's happy things:

  • For the first time in about a month, I worked in the Problem Solve department for part of last night. One more night to work this week and my mandatory extended time will be done.
  • After a long phone conversation a bunch of planning for the camp I am heading is done. Done might be a strong word… things were constructively communicated in a good way.
  • A short step outside brought me the views of some lovely flowers.
Daylily.

A Different Daylily

Happy things for today:

  • Only one more day of the work week left for me!
  • We are camping this weekend and I am almost all packed and ready to go. Keziah and I leave when packing is complete tomorrow afternoon.  I really don't know where I pulled the energy from to be able to pack things today.
  • The goats we (mostly Keziah) have been making are getting ears!


  • This is our third summer in this house.  I noticed some different flowers, some kind of daylilies, that are near the iris plants.  Last year this area had an RV blocking it so I didn't see the flowers as easily.  I don't remember these flowers from the year before, but they must have been there.  I really like the color and look of these.

Monday-Chore Day

Happy things from today:

  • Yesterday I planned to get up early so I could get some groceries before things got busy. When I woke up I remembered that I needed to clean the bathroom before I showered to leave. So I procrastinated. Then I was hungry. You know what? I had to do dishes before I could eat. In the end, I'm happy to say that dishes got done, the bathroom was cleaned, food was consumed, and the stores weren't overly busy by the time I got there.
  • A friend needed mayonnaise and because I was shopping when I did, I was able to pick it up for them and deliver.  
  • I went outside looking for flowers to make me happy. I found daylilies, Queen Anne's lace, and bees on the milkweed.

Daylillies

My not so happy thing today is my poor spelling. Yesterday I totally spaced that ‘muscle’ is a homophone with ‘mussel’. They ate mussels yesterday, not muscles.

My happy things today are:
  • That I can go back and update my spelling error from yesterday so it won't exist for future readers.
  • Yesterday was also a busy day which left me pretty tired today. I'm glad I was able to rest.
  • Outside the daylilies are starting to bloom. I noticed them yesterday and got pictures today. The common evening primrose and milkweed are also blooming.

  • There is a frog (toad?) that seems to have taken up residence between the window and the screen of an open window tonight.
