Messing about with empathy
If you see someone doing something well, let them know. It will make a difference to the person in ways you will never guess. I have had many jobs where the only way I knew I was doing a good job was that the boss said nothing. Every problem was mentioned but never the positives.…
Deadlines are remarkable things, especially when there are consequences if you miss them. We had to have the U-Haul back by 5 p.m. yesterday, and I started work at 4. Also, my car was in long-term parking at the airport and needed to be sprung. So we had to have the 15-foot truck emptied by…
We drove all day yesterday and arrived at our new home at 1 a.m. Eighteen hours is a long time to sit behind a wheel, but it was worth when we stopped. Needless to say, we’re bone tired. Today, we unpack the U-Haul so it can be returned before five. Tonight, I work, but then…
Happy meme Monday. I have arrived in Montana, and now I have to unload the truck so we can return it today. I also need to do some unpacking and decide where things go. I work tomorrow, so I want to get as much done today as I can. That’s not true. I just want…
I hope you are having a great weekend. I’m pretty sure I am stressed, tired, sore, and wanting to throw everything I own away. That’s right, I’m am moving my husband, cats, and possessions to Montana today. Hubby is helping but I’m sure the cats are making my life diffcult. Wish me luck.
Labor Day is over, so many people are done camping for the season. I hope that is true because I live on a highway that leads to Yellowstone, and it is a lot easier to get to my turn-off when the traffic is lighter. However, it is always the right time to watch a video…
I’ve talked in the past about finding which type of clutterbug organizer you are. There are four types, and it depends on whether you macro or micro organize and whether you like your stuff where you can see it or hide it behind doors. I am a cricket, so I like to micro organize, and…
Happy Teddy Bear Day. I found a lovely Vlog Brothers video (one of my favorite YouTube channels) about Margaret Stieff, a remarkable woman who turned stuffed animals and teddy bears into an lasting industry. I encourage you to watch this video (6 minutes) in honor of Teddy Bear Day.
That’s right. There used to be a 27th letter in the alphabet, and today we get to celebrate it. Happy National Ampersand Day. It took me years to write this symbol properly, and I actually practiced a lot. Now I like using this symbol whenever I can. In previous posts, I talked about how the…
I have seen more movies in the past month than I sometimes see in a year (pre-COVID). Of the four movies I’ve seen, three of them were wonderful, and one was horrible. I only talk about positive stuff on Footle and Grok, so I won’t list the ten reasons why I disliked Snake Eyes (I…
