Looking out our bedroom window and seeing a huge deer eating the apples I put out there.:hangloose:

Joy
 

Having a birthday lunch with my new family and watching my baby girl take her first steps alone. She is ONE. We had much fun, many hugs and lots of smiles and laughter. I love her soooooooo much.

A conversation with a dear friend.

A nap with a kitten.

My cat clearly missing me while I was out at an unusual time and sulking for a while til he melted and we cuddled it all better {who doesnt like to missed eh ?!!} ...two scones with black currant jam and clotted cream {naughty but nice !}...and the sun finally coming out and brightening the day {must remember to water my plants later}

My pet sitting job ended early so I got to go home and be with my little family. :heartbeat:

Having a great day despite the storms.

hummingbirds
peaches and ice cream
spouse's smile
easy breezy day-

Coming home to an empty house, empty washer and dryer for me to use and TV all to myself, including Netflix!

alone time. both driving the U-Haul and once my mom, brother and his wife took my baby brother home. You never know what little pleasure you can have by not having to jump thru hoops all the time

I went berserk at Dollar Tree last night... bad girl.
But today, I went to Jo Ann's and sat looking at patterns for two hours, then wandered around looking for more stuff to buy.

for probably another hour. Didn't buy a damn thing.

Came back to the house.

T whined about not having a real meal.

I did not get up and make it.

she hasn't paid me for doing her laundry.

I'm beginning to have another dark night of the soul... I can feel it's hot fingers climbing up my back. I survived another anniversary of my surgery. YaY!!

I've lost two whole pounds, said no to pizza, ice cream and chips. I ate salad for dinner.

I am losing my impetus to pull myself out of this pit, so I'm going to sit and cry tonight, cause I deserve a day to fall apart.

Think I'll find a good movie to cry to tonight.... my joy will be right where I left it earlier. Waiting for me.

Carry on

it's just a story.

i am cheerful and feel lucky to have retrieved a diary that I'd forgotten at a public library :typewriter:

Gliding through the house doing my work-at-home thing and a bit of cleaning while my "Butch/Femme LOVE" playlist hums in the background.

Color me a boring housewife-type but I love to work at home and open all the windows, get the washing machine and dishwasher humming, play an audiobook or good music, and plan for dinner later in the evening. It's a happy place <3

Plans for strawberry pie
Wearing a white shirt


See what I did there? :jester:

So many things. A deep friendship where I feel seen and celebrated.

Alone time till folks get home and its quiet.

Texts from my ex saying she is excited to see me this Saturday and talk about the kiddo's 5th birthday party.

Finishing clearing the problem solve shelves at work. ... cant wait to be home and talk to My gf

Knowing the news I got by phone will soon be official, signed by a judge, and an end to a struggle. I can hardly contain my excitement!!

Hearing my manager promise to complete my performance review soon.

Waking up to see a mother deer and two babies in my backyard eating the deer corn and apples I put out for them.:cigar2:

Dancing...
 

I'm having a full-on joy bomb today!

Special delivery from Atlanta!
A spotlessly clean home!
10 beautiful blooms on my orchid (it LOVES the violet light I got for it)
Bread dough rising
Things falling into place beautifully
Loving fiercely
Being loved fiercely in return
Puppy kisses

Chinchilla snuggles and puppy kisses. Wonderful way to soothe a sad heart.

This could not have been a more perfect day.
With the generosity and compassion from one amazing individual...to the pure joy, delight, happiness, affection, excitement and tenderness of two life-time soul mates and cherished, dear neighbors. The joy and laughter they had and how much they enjoyed themselves really did my soul good.
