Five things that made me happy today:

1. I imported a student desk from two houses down the alley. It’s sat back there for two or three days. That’s my standard for “let-someone-who-really-needs-it-get-it-first. It’s in my garage next to my kitchen door as a landing pad for in-bound items.

2. Ruby has a couple of TikTok accounts. She has only shared the existence of them with me — not the content. One of them has gone viral with thousands of shares and viewers asking for Part 2. Her therapist (who has seen them) says they are “perfectly appropriate,” so I shall rest easy for the moment.

3. I made some phone calls/emails regarding a summer trip to Missouri to see family and friends. There are really a lot of things to juggle, schedule-wise, but I am starting to look forward. Max and Ruby want to ride along.

4. Another neighbor is giving me some dwarf Mexican petunias (I don’t know the official name) that I will be starting in a bed in my front yard. Apparently they spread pretty aggressively. So there’s that.

5. I moved some kitchen plants to the front (east-facing) side of the house. Everything indoors needs to be repotted. The previous tenants in my house left a nice metal rack outside that is the perfect size and shape for work like that. Let’s hope there are still a couple of cool days to work on that.

Your turn. What made you happy today? I love to hear about it.

Keep going.
