What made you smile today?

[Kätzchen]

Knowing that this is my last year as a single tax payer. Next year Rico and I will do our taxes together, as Married Filing Jointly.

[Bèsame*]

seeing baby birds in a nest being feed by Mama bird. It's at work, so, I'll see and hear the often😊🎶🐣


Oh yeah...turning in paperwork and such for my taxes this year! Oh hello Florida, lol.

Finishing up with inventory and realizing I have met my first goal. I might not have exactly what I want but I have what I truly need and the peace of mind that comes along with having it. It was such a sense of satisfaction, stepping back taking a look at my work and seeing how much I've accomplished. It put a huge smile on my face.

Someone - who used to be a little girl but who is practically all grown up now - called me "ules jay" today. It made me smile big to think she remembers our old pig latin days.

Finding a note here from a friend saying they were thinking of Me. Pretty cool given I have not stopped in for awhile.

[FireSignFemme]

Too late for this year but maybe next

[Stone-Butch]

Big smile here. That is my kind of humor, harmless and funny. Especially love the rock thing, that is too clever.

Checked my mailbox and got my 3 movies I ordered.

I got good things in the mail today too, both sets of pillowcases I ordered, each in great shape. One set is vintage, brand new still in its original packaging and all that I hoped it would be. The other was made by a work from home/stay at home mom and she did a really good job.

A Stephen Hawking strand of thought, which I came across today:

There is a fundamental difference between religion -which is based on authority, and science -which is based on observation and reason. Science will win because it works. ~ Stephen Hawking.

I was told today I was the most patient customer he had talked to all day. Ok, probably says that to everyone, but still, I should have taken a screenshot. When does anyone ever call me patient, lol.

It's amazing how many times Infinity can screw up my new service before my internet is even activated. It's been a huge nightmare but everyone I talk to is nice and tries to help. They sent my equipment to the wrong address, scheduled a technician even though I'm doing self-install, canceled my service and had to set up my account again, and the self-installation app was not working at all. Other than that it's been great. Fingers crossed it works. I need the internet for all my work.

[Stone-Butch]

I slept in the night omg, wonderful. I know its going to be a good day cause I woke up. LOL. Not much sleep but better than a kick in the butt with a frozen mukluk.

[Converse]

That I finally remembered my log-in details

[JDeere]

Having two job interviews, tomorrow!

Hopefully I can get a job going then get into an apartment or house soon!

[Reach *BANNED*]

Best of luck to you on this JD - the tide seems to be turning in some areas of the U.S. - and it is starting to turn in the job seeker's favor - so I hope you nail the one down that is right for you!

Thank you Reach, much appreciated!

One is at an recycling facility for oil filled, electrical component transformer company another is collections/data entry...Both pay decent for me to move up to Oklahoma and get a rental house.

I finally have electricity and internet at my new place! It took far too much effort and raising hell than it should have.

It took them 4 days and me raising absolute hell to finally get my electricity turned on. I have always gotten it same day or the next day in the past. Fortunately, I did get a very helpful rep on the phone who made sure it got done.

As for internet, good lord the comedy of errors from Comcast Xfinity was absolutely unreal. I have never experienced so much incompetence and errors in my life. After the second time that a tech was supposed to come out to establish the outside connection did not show, I gave up. I am canceling. I called the local service called Yucca and I literally had internet service within 15 minutes. I just called them on the phone, got my plan set up, went and picked up the router at the local office which is just a few blocks from my house, came home and plugged in my router and I had service. It just absolutely amazing the contrast between the two companies. I will be paying quite a bit more per month which is a drag but at least with them right down the street I should be able to get issues resolved quickly if they arise. That's important to me since I earn all my money online.

I still have more stuff to move and clean the old house so this weekend will be busy. But I have everything I need in place at my new house and I am very happy about it.

The first thing that came to mind when reading this was...shop local! lol

Glad you have service and can make some mo-nay.

Today, my smile inducer was Gracie. I have two cats that cannot be fed together. Loki eats everything and Gracie is subservient to him so she just walks away and doesn't get to eat otherwise. So, he gets some alone time in the bathroom and she and I get some one on one personal time while I put down the food for her. When she's done, she comes to get me and then it's treat time. I think she looks forward to this the most. Even more than wet food, so that's saying a lot, and I have a ball with it too.

Gracie is my predator. She eats all the little bugs and spiders and whatnot that come inside and are not welcome so she's got a good prey drive. I make a game of tossing treats to her and making her chase them. She's got good reflexes and does a killer impression of Patrick Roy (look him up).

Today, she was especially playful, which means she would block the treat but then start to bat it around and she went all over the place with them before eating each piece. She got so invested in the game that she actually fluffed up her tail at one of the pieces that didn't go where she wanted it to. Too funny!

A sweet friend sending a text to check in on Me when she has so much going on in her life right now.

[Soft*Silver]

Took my granddaughters school supply shopping and let them pick out anything they wanted. Man oh man I was delighted over how much joy this brought them!
