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.

It Is Only Tuesday

Some happy things:

• There has not been any rain today so I stepped outside to check on some plants.  Scarlet beebalm, whorled tickseed, and butterfly weed seem to all be doing well.  They are hard to see beyond the untrimmed grass and weeds, but they are there.

• I helped Keziah by cutting out some goats for the game she is making.  

• It is unlikely that there will be much voluntary time off this week, but I've decided to put my name in for it for the rest of the week, unless they assign me to problem solving. We are camping this weekend and I have so much to do before I can have fun.

Happy Monday!

Happy things for today:

• Sometimes my imagination likes to feed me worse case scenarios. Today that involved me imagining losing my job because I needed to leave early for an appointment. I didn't lose my job and leaving early was relatively painless and thus a happy thing.
• I was on time for my appointment and I went to have my blood drawn for the yearly check up I have next week. I went to the clinic without an appointment for a fasting blood draw in the afternoon. No lines, not more than a minute or two wait. Yay! The phlebotomist also used a small needle, I barely felt a thing.
• Keziah has been busy working on making the goats for a game I wrote about a week or so ago. I love the eyes she found to use!

Goats

Today's happy things:

• A few weeks ago I tried to update my outdated credit card information to an account. Because I forgot my password, this required a phone call to the company.  The person wasn't able to verify who I was using my phone number. Today I called an automated number, with the same phone, and was able to update without talking to a person. Sometimes I guess automation works. Either way, one less thing on my to-do list!
• There is a game that Keziah and a friend designed to play at SCA events with children. It involves finding stuffed sheep. Last year she told another group that she would create a similar game for their group. Tonight we (four of us!) started making the goats.

• In an overgrown area by the side of a road I saw a plant with bright orange flowers. I didn't get close enough for a detailed picture to be able to identify it.
