The Top of the Mound

 Next week Keziah and I are holding a short virtual SCA court to hand out a few awards and hopefully hang out online with some people after.  Today we gave out and recorded two of them.  It was really great to see people we haven't seen in a while and to recognize them for the wonderful things they have been doing.  We have one more to do to prepare for this tiny event.  Other happy things from today:

• Yesterday I wrote about the comfy sack and that Aesop, the dog, hadn't found a way up it yet since being fluffed.  While I was doing dishes I heard some noises in the living room.  I thought Aesop was letting out an occasional bark at the cats and decided to let them figure it out.  When I came out to check on him I found him at the top of the comfy sack.  yay!  '

• Christmas lights are set up at other people's homes.  Here is a a yard near where we gave out an award.

Thank you for being part of my happy things. Stay safe.

Friday!

 One of the things they have been doing at work during this peak season is giving out prizes.  Sometimes it is to a top performer, other times they are taking the top performers and drawing from a hat.  Today one of the names drawn was mine.  Now I have something that we have been talking about purchasing.  I am going to wrap it up for the family for Christmas, until then it is a secret.  Other happy things from today:

• Another work related thing is that I was assigned to stowing instead of picking.  Picking is what has become the norm and stowing is what I was initially trained for.  That I did well is a surprise since I haven't been doing it as often.  However, this also meant that my body movements were much different.  My feet don't hurt as much today as they did yesterday and I think it is because of this.  Very thankful for that.
• It was Minecraft Friday.  TF and I are having fun trying to complete a quest.
• Keziah fluffed the comfy sack.  I seldom use the sack, but she fluffed it SO much that it was almost as tall as Gideon!

I was told that when the dog, Aesop, got home,
he didn't know what to do about it and curled up somewhere else.
