Back to School

 Some happy things from today:

• Once again my back has been bothering me.  I made it through the night at work.  
• Gideon had his first day back at school.  It sounds like he had a good day.  Spanish is one of his new classes this year.  Afterwards, he and Zed went out for doughnuts.  They offered to bring one home for me.  I politely declined.  It was a harder choice than it should have been.  It was the right choice.  I'm trying to decrease how much gluten I'm eating again.  Yay for good choices!
• In an attempt to not sit for too long in one place, I only wove for a short time today.  Progress was made and that is good.

Open House

Some happy things from Flag Day:

• Last night at work we were served pancakes by the managers. I love that they always have fresh fruit and real maple syrup to go with them.
• I ordered some new pajamas and they came in the mail today. I have a hard time finding long ones in the stores so I'm glad these are as long as the ad said. Now I can throw away (or make rags out of) some that have seen better days.

• Gideon's school had an open house. I stayed up late to go. We got to play a game that Gideon designed, see the boat he made as part of a team, the classrooms, and walk around the school. It was very exciting.

Waffles

Some happy things from today:

• With Gideon at public school now instead of at home school, I miss seeing him when I get home from work. Twice this week I was able to pick him up from school. This meant I was the first to hear how awesome his school day was. I’m happy that he is enjoying school, but sad that he will miss out on planting the flowers tomorrow.
• We had breakfast for dinner tonight. It was a perfect food for me because I am just getting up from my nap to eat with the family on Thursdays.

Work Remembered

Happy things from Tuesday:

• I survived my first ever rides using Lyft. For some reason both drivers' GPS wanted the house to be on the other side of the road.
• The supervisor I spoke with last week not only was awesome about getting me the Lyft rides, she remembered to set me up to be trained in Problem Solve. I spent the whole shift learning about and solving problems at work. It was nice to be able to learn new things. This was probably the first full day I have worked since starting this job that I didn’t have my 10,000 step count finished when I left.
• My grandson, Gideon, had his trial day at the school he is hoping to attend in the fall.  Currently he is homeschooled and this would place him in a Montessori school.  He really enjoyed it and was very excited to have had this opportunity to experience a day there.
• The ice cream/sandwich shop across the street opened yesterday and Keziah and Zed got me my favorite, peppermint stick ice cream. It was how I treated myself after pacing to get my step count in.
