glacier_kitty1. What's the strangest, unexplainable incident you have experienced or have heard of? Seeing a UFO when watching the Northern Lights, mom having a ghost sleep with her, etc
2. Which mythical creatures or cryptids do you think are most likely to exist or have existed? I want to believe in Nessie (the Loch Ness Monster) for some reason lol..I guess she seems like she would be cool haha
3. If you became a mythical figure how do you think you'd be portrayed? As a nice-looking elf, maybe?
4. What animal do others find creepy that you find cute? Rats/mice/voles..of course there are some that are probably dirty, but that can be true with any animals. When I was a kid I had a friend that had a rat, and I loved holding him lol
5. What is your favorite lost civilization? Roanoke has been intriguing to me ever since learning about it in school..where did everyone go??
Today at work we had our annual Staff Retreat..this year we had it at the university (more space, I think). We did "coworker speed dating," where we went around the room and talked to someone about a question on the board, had someone from the Board of Directors talk to us, had pizza for lunch, talked about our strengths and weaknesses, and ate snacks pretty much all day LOL. Those things can be tedious, but it is cool talking to someone you rarely get to because we're all so busy. I am definitely tired now though..I exceeded my talking limit for the day haha
Mom's feeling somewhat better, and she said grandma is doing well too..Cindy sent mom a picture of grandma sitting somewhere in her wheelchair, sitting up (not slumped over like when I visited) eating lunch. I have no idea how her body keeps on going, it's very impressive!
11. What Are Some Recent Moments of Happiness in Your Life? Getting over covid and going back to work (I felt refreshed! I did need time off, but not like THAT lol), laughing with my coworkers today, changing my phone's wallpaper to a four-poster bed LOL, etc
12. Do You Pay Attention to Nutrition Labels on Food? Not really
13. Are You a Saver or a Tosser? A saver..when I was in Payson I threw a bunch of things away (school projects, for one), and now I'm regretting it. I still have my ticket from when I went to Switzerland in 2013. I'm pretty sentimental lol
