Orion

 October 18th 

Here are my happy things from today:

• The stars were beautiful again tonight.  And again, I was running late for work.  I stopped and took some pictures.  Staying still is hard, but I think this one came out okay.  Orion's Belt and sword are between the trees just over the shed.

• Sunday I have the day off.  My 50 hour work week is over.  It ended up being 51 hours all together.  I worked late one day and picked up a few minutes every day.  This coming Monday, I picked up a short shift, so I'll be back to work soon.  I'm really glad I made it through the week without going home early on any of the days.  It was tempting.  
• After I got home and had some food, I slept.  Apparently I was tired.  I didn't sleep for long.  Well, I awoke a few hours later, and then slept again.  Between what I remember and FitBit, I'm calculating that I got over seven hours of sleep.  I went to the house and found people still awake.  Corvidae was kind enough to make me an omelet since I had slept through dinner with the family.  
• For My Art for October I decided to use the prompt generator.  Since I didn't have some of the colored pencil colors suggested, I improvised.  I'm enjoying exploring different artsy things this month.  A person doesn't have to be good at something to enjoy it.
