#SongsOfSeptember Day 28

This song totally reminds me of Galen in The Need for Dandelions by Alex Larkspur. He's such a beautiful, loving person who finds hope in the smallest things, even when dealing with so much hardship.

His healing nature is happymaking 💕

It’s Taco 🌮 Day in the PR & Marketing Department!

I’m bringing cookies that match my sweater.

Floofy is so happymaking. I'd totally enjoy reading that, it's such a cuddly word!

Crummy night (again), & couple disappointing spots, but also a semi-productive midday, pleasant evening, and even brief bit of a walk 😊

The sun shines through a stretch of tall evergreens, with patches of bright blue sky visible above the tops.

utilitarianism and longtermism are not happymaking

Made a new friend during this morning's run to the Farmers Market! Also lovely concert by Cathy (with visit from a neighbor), more bits from worldcon, more errands, and the start of a Ninth Doctor rewatch

A VERY large floofy gold and white pupper with a pink leash sits politely looking at the camera, promising to pose nicely if you'll hurry with the picture and then reward her with MOAR SCRITCHES as SOON as you're done 😊 There is a worn red picnic bench in the background.

Due to tech issues I didn't get to watch any of the concert today but did get to see bits of a few panels from Worldcon, while also handling some of my own tasks. And after dinner was movie time. Happy Birthday Donald 😊

Week not necessarily going as expected, but mostly not in bad ways even if busy so yay? And graced with some spectacular skies along the way (even if the clouds continued to thicken so no eclipse sightings here tonight).

#xaps2026 #TinyJoy #happymaking #naturesbeauty #ProjectTime #xapHelps
This evening's cloudy blue sky with spectacular lighting from the sun painting the center in shades of dusty blue and lilac and rose and white; the bottom is framed and underlined with black silhouettes of variously sized and shaped trees. Last night's almost-Full Moon rises behind trees, lighting up a section of clouds and enhances the midnight-blue tone of the section above A green exterior door with window leans against a porch railing while a white exterior door with a silver threshold (also in its frame) sits horizontally in front. Much of Tuesday was spent helping P remove the white one, clean the area, and fit the new green one.

That cup looks just like my usual teacup down to the colour, very happymaking. 🥰

Not the best day in many ways (esp for others), but finished my "Into the Drowning Deep" reread (Mira Grant love) this evening, and started out with another colorful, successful trip to our Saturday farmers market.

A tan countertop covered in many bright fresh fruits and vegetables, with an almond croissant and a bowl of Filipino pork adobo with pancit noodles on the upper counter behind them. The haul includes romaine lettuce, broccoli, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, peaches, green onions, sungold cherry tomatoes, garlic heads, yellow summer squash, zucchini, carrots, and a lemon cucumber.

it's nice when my body is reminded that oh right intimacy isn't just vague stagnant comfort sometimes it's really happymaking...

Another (short) walk, more catch-up, reading, movies, and _soooomebody_ trying to look pitiful and neglected despite all her spoiling 😆 Happy Friday?

Just remember - 'nobody's perfect' 💙

Yodeling is pretty cathartic

But regardless of what you do I hope it is super spiffy and happymaking!

Later bed than planned the last couple nights so missed posting. But made it out for a bit of a walk yesterday, and Wednesday's late night was definitely worth it - despite the haze did get to see a few Perseids!

One of my favorite things about working in a college town is the opportunities it affords me to listen and encourage and dispense hope on members of a new generation filling up with amazing community builders, literacy advocates, and library workers.

Catching up on end-of-July travels: lots of family time, tasty treats, youthful nostalgia, and love (some work/annoyances/stress/etc mixed in, but mostly Positive & #happymaking times, with many moments of #TinyJoy )

Another market today, featuring enjoyable music & tasty lunch. Also made dinner tonight, including components from recent visits.

Four white-, male-appearing musicians are arrayed under a white canopy outdoors on a sunny day with speakers and sound monitors around them. A pile of rainbow chard, with variously colored bright gold, magenta, punk, and white stems and dark green leaves sits on a tan counter. A white plate with blue trim holds a dark green pile of sauteed chard next to a speckled pile of cut cooked zucchini, summer squash, and onion. A small piece of baked seasoned chicken is below.

Not alone. This whole public recording, judging and shaming of people for doing a harmless, nice happymaking thing, needs to be shut down and ignored.

The people who hate on this stuff are just sad and bitter.

124. Need You Close by Annabeth Albert
This author's works have become popcorn reads for my brain in a way. They're not groundbreaking or earthshattering for me, but my brain can sink into them immediately & are happymaking during high stress periods. Romantic, satisfying HEA, solid read overall.

Time with family is always precious to me 💙

Also very neat to see cool things my kids do 😊

The upper portion of a (now)glass-fronted wood corner curio cabinet. The inside shelves appear to be full of many displays, though details are obscured by reflected light. On top are a white and black helmet prototype and a large Lego skeleton figurine wearing a 3D-printed "Uncle Sam" hat. A blue roller suitcase sits against a warm light blue wall, appearing packed and ready.

Much catch-up today, in a few areas. Plus planning, dinner-making (& -eating), and movie time. As usual not the best pic, but ending with a lovely view.
