Trivial things that make you happy - Part 2 - The Happyning

Jenna James

I had an exceptionally difficult day today involving solicitors etc. Had one lovely phonecall with someone that really restored my sense of self and grounding. It's the little things.

The relief when you relies you didn't put your phone in the washing machine.

Driving to work this morning a little squirrel was hopping along in front of the car.

Said I’d tax the car for the journey to the ferry. Filled in the details on the car tax website. Tax for the year is the princely sum of £0 a year.

I've been living in this house for just under two months and I'm still discovering new things. Yesterday I discovered we have a little home gym in the shed, and today I discovered that we don't have a hoover, the fu(king house IS the hoover. You just plug the nozzle thing into a socket in the wall and boom, hoover!

Madness.

Figuring out why a program I was writing kept throwing a Null pointer exception ! 😀

Congrats,lovely to win something, enjoy.

I spent the entire day in a&e with my gran and at half ten tonight when I finally left, utterly wrecked, I discovered I didn't have enough change for the car park and everywhere was closed up.

Only had a 50 and cards and the machine accepted neither. Started walking to the machines way up at the upper carpark on the faint hope they'd take cards.. not a soul about.. when I spot a bus at the entrance. Asked the driver if he could break a 50 and he couldnt. So kept going and checked the other machines, they wouldn't accept the 50 or cards either.

Turned around, totally deflated and there's the bus driver. He'd managed to get together enough to break my 50 and had left his bus and passengers to come and give it to me!

Thank you Mr. Bus Driver!

When I walked into my bedroom it smelt like my favorite Chinese.( I have no idea why, I don't eat food there,etc) but it smelt great.

My Pet Pooch Alarm Clock ... licks galore!

serendipity; just got through the door after too long a walk and the heavens opened.. HAPPY! A minute later and would have been soaked.

Happy stroll to the shore and back, gathering above tide seaweed and flowers..... idyllic hour. Walked far too far, but can rest now. ( the last few hundred yards were... interesting!)

Simply happy, or . rather, content.. many small things yesterday that delighted and were needed. All I need now is something to knit!

Having the strength to say no when someone is trying to guilt you into doing something you don’t want to do.

No, my pooch is No.1 (& she does not like cats!) I’m tripping over my feline friends at the back door every morning as they position themselves for breakfast.

TH (and slightly proud of myself) for managing to drive halfway across England in a car I’m only getting used to. Having said that, I was also TH to be pulling in outside the house last night too! :pac:

Emojis and gifs.

I’d communicate exclusively through them if I could.

Lovely summer afternoon; took my food and knitting out and sat in the shelter of the old fuchsia watching the white tailed bees busy in the flowers... cats sprawled around me,,,
Been a happy day but need bed and sleep right now.. happy evening everyone

Buying junior infants school books, where did those years go!?

Right now, eating a plate of oven cooked chips and southern fried goujons. I've had probably the most traumatic, ecstatic and emotional 36 hours of my life and right now this tastes like one of the most pleasurable meals I've ever eaten!

I've a 19 year old cat, howls on the dot of eight o'clock. No lie in at the weekend for me.

starting the day calling "home" ie to family in Canada makes me very happy,,, the miracle of phone calls is a happy never taken for granted .. something that did not exist for most when I was small, or even large,,

being roused by smallest cat, she of the small boned sleek Oriental kind, headbutting my face with a loud purr... chin to chin.. I KNOW she is after food but what does that matter when there is love..

wind will make me very happy today...

My beautician has given me an appointment at short notice...as rare as hens teeth!

Absolutely lovely neighbours. Makes such the world of difference.

Despite the endless complications to get it working, the ten mins of yoga and hot shower I had this am, have fully cured the pain and weakness in my knees that has been going of for the past few weeks.
