      @ten Don’t worry, training a dog to hunt potatoes is super easy. You’ll barely waste a calorie on it.

        For at least today, for one moment in time, there is justice in the world. This makes me happy.

          I started doing Historical European Martial Arts two weeks ago (finally), with a local group that just formed. I’ve been doing it most days since then, and I ache, but it’s a really good ache. I have more energy than I have in years, and I feel great. Plus I get to swing a sword around.

            Tornado hit my house Tuesday. Six trees down, one on my house, and the power pole snapped in two and the live wires killed two massive trees worth of birds and squirrels. No one was injured, the one child home was fine, my mechanic was at the house and acted: great man.

            I had the greatest day Tuesday. I happened to get the news of the third tornado to damage my life in three years during the first break of the trial in NYC. They led me to a side room to check my phone. I have insurance and won’t have a home a couple of months again. The real life happy is that I spent the day inside the courtroom for closing arguments of one of the most significant trials in American history.

              I gave my child chocolate milk and showed her the joys of blowing bubbles in the milk.

              Why did our parents tell us not to blow bubbles? It is awesome!

                  @Snackness But there’s no use crying over it.

                    @Pyrephox I confess that I did cry over spilled milk (well, froyo, in the back of my car) a couple of weeks ago and I stand by my decision.

                      Anyone who doesn’t cry over spilled milk hasn’t spent 45 minutes pumping it.

                        My coworker’s partner is liquidating a lot of their inventory from their Etsy shop. So today they showed up with a bag full of block printed t-shirts for me and tried to foist them off on me for free, until I insisted on paying something for it.

                        (Pay artists. It’s a rule, not a guideline.)

                        My clothes are extra queer now and I am very happy.

                              Semester 1 finished, great grades all round. At age 38, on my 4th attempt in 2 decades, I’ve finally successfully completed my first semester of a bachelor’s degree.

                              That’s definitely a big happy.

                              Although, I was hoping that big success on the first semester would make me feel more confident about, you know, the rest of the three years I’ll be doing this for. Apparently not!

                              Still, it’s a start and it’s proof that I absolutely can do this. My brain no longer gets to point at my past failures as if they’re evidence that I’ll fail again 🙂

                                    I am so happy that there was a net positive gain from my suffering and I’m not even being sarcastic 😊

                                      Our foster daughter has some pretty extreme behaviors, and today she exploded pretty spectacularly. So we had to call off going TO a fireworks show because helping her regulate in a crowd of people is impossible.

                                      We didn’t deprive her though and went outside to see what we could of the big shows. There were A LOT. She was screaming with joy and jumping in and down out of her mind with glee.

                                      A few houses over a family was setting of some legal fireworks and so she asked if we could go watch. I agreed and we walked over to ask permission to watch.

                                      This family just reached out and ENVELOPED my little girl in love. First offered a sparkler, then a whole box (“don’t let the fun end!”) Then s’mores, and finally they broke out extra chairs for all of us. Grandpa of neighbors teased her like mad. Just such amazing kindness I almost cried several times seeing the joy on this little girl’s face.

                                      There are just good people.

                                      (Also the dad was a smoker and little girl has had some bad experiences with smokers in the past, so it was really healthy of her to have a healthy one.)

                                        @junipersky Sometimes people remind you that they are, mostly, ready to be good to each other. ❤ I’m so glad she had a good holiday, and you got to see it

                                          Dealing with the courts and her bio family had really put a damper on my faith in humanity.

                                          Between last night and her BFFs’ mom brushing her hair today (she won’t let me near it) my faith is beyond restored.
