I am happy because I have a great family, because my faith gives me hope, because the sun still comes up every morning even when it’s hidden behind the clouds like today.
I will still be happy when August is over, along with the happiness challenge.
But if I feel like whining, that will be okay, too. I [...]

Our telephone company is advertising a new plan where you can get phone service, DSL, and wireless service for $99. Hmmm, thought I. We have our phone service, DSL and wireless through them and are paying considerably more than $99 per month.
So I called. The rep was very helpful. Yes, I could switch to this plan. Our [...]

Millie is still adjusting to life as a big sister. Bootsies spends most of her time upstairs in her domain, formerly known as BD’s room. At first, we were confining Millie to the back part of the first floor, but lately I’ve been leaving the doors open, since the door to Bootsies’ BD’s room is [...]

I may have given the wrong impression yesterday. The Happiness Post Challenge runs through the end of the month–I was just glad yesterday that the pressure would be off on the weekends from now on.
Today is a very rainy Monday, but we can really use some rain. Still, I’m happy that I have a nice, quiet [...]

I have to admit that I’m happy that this is the last weekend for the Happiness Post Challenge. I usually take the weekends off, but neglected to include that as part of my version of the challenge, so I felt honor bound to post every. single. day. It’s wearing me out, folks!
I’m very happy to [...]

It’s been a long couple of days. Nothing major, just a lot going on. I’m exhausted.
So I’m happy that it’s bed time.
Good night.

Well, today I’m happy that the entire family has survived the first full week of middle school.
And I’m happy that BD has been invited to a sleepover tonight at the home of neighbors whom she loves but doesn’t get to see much, especially now that the parents are getting divorced. An at-home date night is an [...]

I don’t remember the exact date, but shortly after BD started school last year, I kicked myself into gear and started to exercise. I didn’t even own up to it on here till November, since my tendency is usually to work out for a few weeks, then find other things to occupy my time.
I’ve now stuck [...]

Actually, the cat never left. Millie simply disappeared. Shortly after her third brief interlude with Bootsies. She is, sad to say, no longer indifferent. Unless hissing and growling is the new indifference.
This was a pretty good disappearing trick, since I had shut the doors to the back of the house. This means she had to be [...]

I hope you don’t think that I had nothing happy to write about today. I’ve just been too busy.
Busy with what, you ask?
Doing some preparatory work on something we promised BD recently.
And then carrying out the deed.
Signing the papers, buying supplies, and all that fun stuff.
Come to think of it, that wasn’t the fun stuff.
THIS is [...]
