Sick of Being Sick

 This cold has finally brought me down.  I didn't go to work last night.  Depending on how much I cough while trying to sleep will determine whether I go in tonight or not.  They do everything electronically and I have no idea if my request for the time off is approved or not until after my shift is over.  A few happy things for today:

• Gideon is a wonderful and compassionate human.
• I crafted a little.  The only picture I took was in-progress.  I cut out the rubber to make a stamp.  I think Keziah was going to print it today at the studio but I haven't seen it if she did.

The green is what was carved out at this point.

• I happened to catch a glimpse of the sunset through my closed blinds before going to bed.  Beautiful flaming oranges.

Happy Solstice!

Gideon

 Last night I heard a gentle knocking on my door.  It was Gideon.  He had noticed the light in my room was on and came in to say goodnight.  I was happy to see him even though it was my morning.  I was just getting up to get ready for work.  This afternoon he was programming on the Chromebook.  He showed me what he was doing, there were round objects moving along with the mouse icon.  He showed me how it changed depending on one number in the code.  It was cool.  More importantly, my nine year old grandson, Gideon, is cool.  It is wonderful to be able to live with him and his parents.  Today, Gideon is what I am happy for.  

The master at work.

Marvel-ous

 As I sit here, reflecting on my day, I thought I did more.  It felt like a long weekend and I think I got some of the rest I needed.  Other things I am happy for today:

• Sometimes Aesop, the dog, hasn't gotten along with Gideon, my grandson.  Today Gideon curled up on the Comfy Sack with his phone and Aesop curled up next to him with his bone.

• It is getting close to the beginning of the month and I remembered to pay my mortgage early.  That doesn't happen often.  Hooray!
• We watched the Captain Marvel movie tonight.  It was the first time for Gideon and he really enjoyed it.  His enthusiasm for the Marvel movies is infectious.  I love that this movie has a strong female lead.
