As I rest, trying to take a nap as part of my shifting sleep schedule to prepare to work nights, I question my sanity. Are nights really going to work for me? Why did I choose nights anyway? I have worked nights in the past, I know I can. I chose a three day work week. I have wanted a three day work week for years. A few years ago I wrote this and put it onto my LinkedIn account:
"Dear Universe,
I would like a change in jobs. I'd like to make at least $15 an hour plus benefits. 3 day full-time work week preferred with 12 hour days, no weekends required. Peaceful and happy with a moderate activity level, I like to be walking around. Within 45 minutes of my home and still in NH, although I am willing to travel. Independent work or friendly environment that will fit well with my life. Time off for Vacations, Holidays and Pennsic are a must. Willing to learn while still earning. Suggestions welcome.
PS-Something that might help me to learn or train more for hiking the AT might be nice too. :)"
The shifts are 10 hours long instead of twelve, but there are benefits and it is over $15 an hour. No weekends, but that could change during busy/overtime periods. I may have to work on holidays. They could also decide to just change my hours. I won't know the answers to some of my requests to the Universe until I have started working. It seems like I am getting most of what I asked for. Only time will tell if my request was poor. All this means is that I am not losing my sanity (or it isn't there to be lost🤪). Yay! Other happy things for today:
- Wildflowers.

| This is called Fox and Cubs. I had a different name for it, but research shows that I am wrong. Either way, I like it. Yes, like much on this property, it is considered invasive. |
 |
| Lens has told me this is meadow hawkweed. |
 |
| I didn't need Lens to tell me this is a daisy. |
- I climbed into the netting and picked SIX strawberries! One of them was really tiny. The netting seems to be helping to keep the animals away from them. I added some more landscape staples to hold the net down better in a few places.

- Last year the blueberries were eaten by birds before we had any. This was followed by the drought and I thought we were going to lose the bush. It seems to be coming back though. There won't be too many blueberries, but it looks like we might get some.

| Not the clearest picture... They should be ripe some time in July. |
- The roses that are by the shed are opening now too.
