What is the happiest thing that has happened to you in the past 24 hours?

1. A colleague who I like very much came back from vacation and seemed genuinely happy to see me. It made my day :)

2. I taught my mom how to set up an email account, stream shows/movies, hook up a printer, and listen to music online over the phone and it only took 5 hours! She did such a good job and was very patient the entire time. She's adorable and was really excited about all of it so the 5 hours felt completely worth it to hear her so happy. EDIT: It's so wholesome to see so many people that enjoy helping others in the replies.

5. My new puppy and his older brother were playing on top of me licking me and jumping around the bed. I honestly haven't felt that much pure happiness in a long time, i was giggling like a little kid for 5 straight minutes

6. My grandma taught me how to make biscuits after 24 years of begging her to teach me. I made some today and they turned out like shit, but considering her recipe is "some flour, just enough milk, and a bit of oil", I don't feel too bad. It's all about figuring it out. I'll try again tomorrow.

9. Finally shat. Been constipated for 4 days due to a poor diet and stress at work. The agony and ecstasy was both brutal and amazing. Edit: please stop telling me how to shit. I've already done it. Fuck off with your recipes.

10. I finished the second draft of my new novel, which means I'm officially all-go to launch it in September after waiting what feels like *forever*.

11. Little late on this, but I got engaged to the love of my life during the eclipse! Weeks before I kept telling her about the phases of the eclipse, including Bailey's Beads and the Diamond Ring. Just before totality I told her, "Now we have to watch really carefully or we might miss the Diamond Ring. But, just in case we do, I brought one with me..."

14. My husband and I work for the same company, at a fairly large warehouse, which in turn needs a large pool of trainers to call upon. Said pool is also used as a source of supervisors, which continue on up the ladder. Yesterday, we were both interviewed for a handful of trainer spots, and the interviewer said we're among his top picks (out of a group of 75 candidates or so). We love our company, so it's such an honor and thrill to be considered! Also, today is my birthday! 🎈🎂🎉
