Right now not much is can happen because of covid 19. With lockdown and restrictions in place, a lot of people are bored, and can't do much. These days there is not much going on.
The exciting thing can be small or it can big. It can be personal or it can be with a group of friends. Whatever it is you can share it here.

My sister announced that she's moving to Alaska. I am happy for her because she's spent most of the past decade taking care of other people. Since the beginning of 2019, we've lost 3 members of my family...and my sister has had to make final arrangements for all three.
Before that, she spent nearly 5 years taking care of my father as he deteriorated from Alzheimer's. I took care of him for 24 hours to give her a break once (I live 3000 miles away from them and was home for a visit.) I was exhausted. How she did it for 5 years, I'll never know.
She is now free to do as she pleases and boy does she deserve it. She's posted pictures of road trips, of places she hasn't seen in years. Now that she's moving somewhere that she's always wanted to be, I'm proud and excited for her all at once.

I saw bees!!! I live in the Western United States and the insects have been missing this year. The crickets have been silent, the butterflies not frolicking, and bees not dancing. Between the decrease in flowers from the drought and the smoke from the wildfire, I have not seen any bees this summer. Last week I was out walking my dog and saw zillions of them servicing salvia in someone''s front flowerbeds. They normally don't bloom this late but it made my week.

My daughter is on the severe side of the spectrum. Yesterday I received a letter asking permission if she could be part of a program for graduate students working towards their degree in "Assessment and Education of Exceptional Learners". I have been told that the class is for those going into the field of teaching and helping gifted children who also have disabilities. My daughter has hyperlexia and was doing double digit math problems when she was 4 (though at that time she was unable to talk).

I harvested veggies and fruits all summer that me and my partner planted. It's a very new experience for us and it's funny how exciting it can be to see a tiny "baby" green bean starting to grow, a honeydew melon getting "fatter" every day, and eating fried pattypan squash twice every week because we planted too many of those. Making preserves, sun drying tomatoes. Laughing about how tiny our garlics came out to be, and how nothing really became of the celeriac. Watching sadly as all the green peas are burned out by the scorching Sun. Listening to jars every morning to notice if one or two is hissing because the preservation didn't take.
Raising 6 baby kittens that we also "harvested" in the garden from a homeless cat that now lives indoors with us and our original cat, both neutered now, looking at pictures with tears in our eyes that the babies new owners send us from time to time.
We made lots of mistakes and worked a lot. The plans for next year's garden arrangement are already made.

I got my call for the promotion I've been waiting for. I am now a Lieutenant (in my LE agency) and I start Tuesday. Just over 4 years now until I retire. Going back into uniform after being out of uniform for almost 3 years. Excited and nervous at the same time.
