My friend, an immigrant to my country, was laid off two weeks ago and wasn't able to land a new job. She was 4 months away from getting her PR, but without a new job, she wouldn't qualify. After many stressful nights of crying, doing resume review and interview practice, she YOLO'd and sent the CEO of her old company an email asking to be employed until she got the PR, and the CEO simply said "Sure".
Absolutely crazy, and rare to see that sort of compassion. I'm super happy for her, even though it might be awkward, but getting over this cusp will lock her in on her new life.
Haven't had a smoke or vape in more than a week now. I know I'm not out of the woods yet but this is a big achievement for me.
You know how you get electric cars? Know how you get electric bikes?
You get electric boats now!!!!
Currently floating about on one on an alpine lake and it's completely silent and nature is just fuckin amazing so why disturb it. Just trundled past a duck family and they barely moved
I went on a vacation trip last week. We took the ferry fron Connecticut to Long Island, rode our bikes from Orient Point to the Hamptons, took the train to New York City, hung out in Brooklyn for 4 days. No car the whole way. It was awesome. Brooklyn is super cool, biking in NYC is the best way to enjoy the city. I am full of ideas for the next trip.

Not sure if it's happiness per-se, but I'm excited about joining uni next week.
Quality time, spent with quality people. Getting to see my significant other for their birthday weekend despite the distance was great.
Polaris just dropped their upcoming LP's third track, "Overflow", and it slaps as intended.
Metalcore band from Australia, if you don't know them, chek them out.
I took the last week and a half off from work and was happy to see when I finally checked my emails (bored at the airport) it didn't look like anything went to shit! Was nice to get away for a bit, and need to do it more often but tend to procrastinate for stupid reasons...
Also supposed to go on a second date tomorrow to a gig but we'll see if that actually happens or she got bored and moved on while I was on holidays.
But in a good mood. Just got home a couple of hours ago and doing some cleanup/chores.
It's been a while since I've actually felt 'happy' vs 'anhedonic'.
The whole BRICS thing was pretty off the chain and I'm still making progress on shedding excess kilograms.
I also realized I can use the company phones I repair to make new emails (without Google demanding a phone number) for when my 69,420th Twitter account inevitably gets banned for threatening to remove a NAFO's face with my Galil.

When I thought about this guy every time I went out of my way to fuck shit up
56 hours in brutal heat and humidity working in a steel mill with a weekend off
I don't go out very often but I did with with some coworkers and one of them thanked me and said they had a nice time
