Observations and Thoughts

I'm a pretty observant person. I love seeing things that most other people realize or take the time to truly look at. I love seeing funny things throughout my day and my travels.

Here are a few things I have observed in the past few weeks:

1/29/20 (large) chickens roaming free in a neighbors yard

1/29/20 the moon was the perfect crescent moon. I fully expected to see the man in the moon laying on it.

1/30/20 I tried to snooze my alarm by pressing my elbow into my pillow. When it didn't work the first time, I pressed harder until I realized until I realized that I needed to actually press the phone with my finger, not squeeze my pillow.

1/30/20 I saw a woman holding a striped lunch box skipping out of work

Overheard in the hallway- Hey! Don't put your finger in there! Don't...your finger does not belong in your nose!

2/14/20 driving home from work, a man in a large pickup truck had a lot of red balloons stuffed into the backseat of his cab

2/15/20 good samartians were helping an older lady I assumed had fallen. They stayed with her until the paramedics came.


2/15/20 (I think) I opened up my jewelry drawer and I smelled a scent that I knew but couldn't place immediately. I closed the drawer and I started to walk away but a smile appeared and  I remembered what that scent was, it was grandma. I felt like she was telling me she was there at that very moment. I had put one her pieces of jewerely on.

2/21/20 Orion's belt, the north star and other constellations very clearily

Thoughts I had sitting in Starbucks in a Barnes and Noble:

How do people arrive at their (complicated) order?
Do they really enjoy the Venti Mocha Latte with 2 pumps of caramel and skim milk with a splash of honey?

Do people who study here like to work around chaos?

Do people who come to Starbucks alone (me included) want to be around people but not with people?
Do they like the anominity of being in a crowd and not knowing anyone?

Why do people still come to Barnes and Noble and purchase books if they are cheaper elsewhere? It is for the experience of perusing the rows and rows of books? If that is it, why not support your local library?

Where did the Cornell sweatshirt guy and the blonde go so quickly that they are walking back to their car already without any bags?
