So, there's this newspaper comic called The K Chronicles by Keith Knight. And it does this recurring joke/segment called "Life's Little Victories," which is more or less what it sounds like: And so, as a cosmic counter to Things That Are Currently Annoying You, this is a thread for those moments when things just turn out right.
A thing that happens sometimes: I'll go to sleep and wake up way earlier than I need and still feel well rested, so I have extra downtime before work to make a non shitty breakfast while listening to my favorite music
Last time I went to the dentist, they discovered that I actually had one less cavity than they thought when I made the appointment. 50% less time at the dentist!
Poured pretty much the exact amount of paint into the roller tray that I ended up needing for the job by complete accident.
Mixed some essential oils in the diffuser accidentally just right, and now the house smells exactly like apple pie
Ordered some clothes recently, including four bottoms (three pairs of jeans and one pair of overall shorts); since sizing is so variable and I was ordering ‘em online, I figured there was a chance some of them would still be a little too small on me to wear at this point, but lo and behold, they all fit!
Sad that I had to return briefly-owned ferret, but the breeder was super nice about it and gave me a full refund, which I hadn't been expecting. Ferret is going to be much happier back in a group and I'm not getting bitten anymore, so I count it as an ultimate win for both of us.
Bought my mom some candles at the ren faire in wildly different flavors in case she didn't like one of them, she loved all three!
A while back, but since I have now remembered this thread exists, needs to be here: I accidentally forgot a pan full of oil on a hot stove for like half an hour because a repair guy showed up and I was distracted... but it was a cast-iron pan, so the actual outcome of this was just that the seasoning got a lot better.
I managed to get our air conditioner working RIGHT before the weather forecast is predicting a temperature of "bullshit hot."
