I bought three toilet clappers off of Amazon. They should be here this afternoon so I can install them tonight.
I had stored one in the basement, but the criminally aloof plumber used it on my equipment without telling me when they visited in January, charged me for it, and then I no longer had it in store when my other toilet clapper broke this morning.
Also this morning, I took all the plastic to the recycling place behind the high school, deposited my tax refund checks at the bank, mailed one of the only utility bills I don't yet have on Autopay, and then stopped by the QuikTrip for a huge Coke Zero and two trashy pieces of breakfast pizza because I was feeling -- quite rightly -- bad about myself and thought I needed to be punished.
Is that what you meant with this thread, @kenneth ?

Three good things happened today: my weekly boring, pointless, nerve-wracking, time-consuming interview at the Job Centre was cancelled; I found the water bottle I thought I'd lost at the gym (I've had it since 2021 which makes it one of my oldest possessions); and, best and most surprising of all, I discovered that the STV Player works on my slightly out-of-date laptop, which means I don't have to watch old reruns of Brookside on my phone and I can take screenshots of it.

Waking up and having the day off work to do what I want. 
Anything to make bad feelings lessen is well worth it.

@Michelle Stevens and I have the same day off, apparently. I got to sleep late and bum around the house all day, which is good enough for me.

It's Pentecost everywhere on the same day, isn't it?

My eyes opened this morning signaling I was awake and alive. That’s a good start right there.
Being here with all of you and interacting on these threads. I know it sounds corny but I’m sorry it does make me happy.
Realizing on the way home I still had about 30 miles left til I’m out of fuel which means I can put it off til tomorrow ‘cause I was too tired to stop.
The realization that my new shoes are working out very well.

What’s made me happy today is the fact that I’m off from work and eating a bunch of junk food. I guess sometimes it’s the simple things.

It happened yesterday, but still making me happy today (does that count? Judges....?)
I ran into a workplace-friend I had not seen in two years. It was so nice to see her and get caught up because I knew that she had quit under bad circumstances (a full year before I too quit under bad circumstances). I was so relieved to see she was okay and happy to hear that she'd become a grandmother. Life indeed goes on.

What’s making me happy at the moment is I just came home for lunch and I’m flipping the channels and there’s the theme song playing for the opening of The Young & the Restless. That one never gets old for me.

My child volunteered to take a shower, allowing us to skip out usual routine of me forcing them to do it by screaming and threatening to change the WiFi password.

Going back to work today after being gone for 10 days and having multiple people welcoming me back and telling me they missed me. It’s a nice feeling.

Rain
It finally made it here to the southeastern part of the U.S. after weeks of virtually nothing. Usually I’m not a fan of an entirely rainy day but considering how much we needed this the sound of the raindrops hitting the ground has made me very happy today.

Rodong around my neighborhood on a golf cart with my neighbors and stopping to pet all the doggies being walked.
