August 29, 2014- No Post

Too stuffed to walk inside to get my computer and look up the question of the day. So instead, I'll just say I had a nice day at work, a yummy dinner with a good friend, and came home to a happy puppy. Today was a good day. 

August 28, 2014- Hello Moon

How would you describe the moon to someone who could not see it?

The moon is high above in the area known as the sky. It's over 200, 000 miles away which is very far. It has different phases, which means throughout the month it is a different shape. Sometimes the shape is small and curved, Other times it is large and round. It usually only can be seen at night time, but sometimes it can seen in the morning. The moon rotates around the Earth and we only have one (some planets have multiple). Depending on where it is located it can affect things like the ocean. Sometimes, it passes by the sun making something known as an eclipse, which makes seem to disappear. No matter where you are in the world, you can see….and it is amazing and beautiful.

August 26, 2014- Lesson Learned

A lesson I learnt this week was…

This past week I was giving advice to a co-worker and I was kind of surprised by myself. I learnt that I can actually give good advice.

 We were discussing how there are times we think that we can handle a situation. We are the ones who make the decision and we are the ones who have to deal with the results.  However, sometimes the way that we deal with a situation is not by handling it ourselves, but for asking for help. We do not handle it on our own like we think we will. I let my co-worker know though, that handling the situation ourselves is asking for help. We realize the situation is too much for us, so we ask for help. Asking for help is not handling something ourselves, it is handling a situation in a mature and proper way by asking for help.  

August 25, 2014- Smell

Describe a memorable sensory experience from your day today. It might be a strong smell, taste or feel that has stuck in your mind. Describe what it makes you think of.

Today I had to get new post it notes from the supply closet. For whatever reason they have a very distinct smell. To me, it always reminds me of an operating room because it has a gas/new plastic smell. That is the best way I can describe it. It's not just me either. I asked one of my co-workers to smell them as well and she stated they smell very sterile. I told her they remind me of an operating room and she agreed.

As soon as I smell the post it notes I picture 2 things. The first is an operating room. I see all the operating tools and the giant bright lights. I also can see a few doctors in their full operating uniform. After picturing that I immediately picture the holding area for surgery. Anyone who has had surgery before knows they have you wait first. It is very similar to an emergency room except everyone there is waiting for surgery. 

I'm not sure why, but every time I get a new pack of post it notes this is what I smell. It's so distinct to me and has that specific smell. I'm sure I will never forget it. The sterile, gas filled smell of an operating room is ever embedded in my brain.
