New Things

 July 23rd

Here are my happy things from today:

• One of the problems I've been having at work this summer is the heat. My body isn't handling the heat as well as it used to. This summer also seems warmer than the last few. Anyhow, my supervisor ordered neck fans that can be purchased using our swag bucks. I now have one and it helps. I'm not sure I would have realized how much it was helping if the battery hadn't died. Straight out of the box the battery lasted a few hours. I'm hopeful for longer when the battery is fully charged. 
• Monday I won a dessert maker at work. I found out about it on Tuesday and today I received it. I'm not sure how often I will use it, but other people in the house will.  It came with some neat recipes.  I'm intrigued by the pumpkin pie recipe.  I was also given a new backpack for being a learning ambassador. 

• Last night the family made pancakes for dinner while I slept. My lunch today was leftover pancakes with maple syrup and homemade blueberry syrup. Yummy.

• Outside I checked on the bee balm after doing a little internet research. It looks as if there should be seeds soon. If I'm able to collect some, I might plant some in other parts of the yard.
