What made YOU happy recently?

Since I started taking better care of my diet my hair and skin have got a lot less greasy.

 

The Cookie Monster AMA on Reddit. So sweet and adorable and funny!

 

Holy moly, what an uplifting way to start the day. Thank you so much for sharing!

 

Any time! It made me smile so much, I couldn't not share it!

 

I am pretty sure I am now partially deaf, but damn I had an awesome time going out and dancing this evening :D

 

Dara O'Briain fucking slayed at his gig tonight

 

Excellent! He's coming this way in May, and I have tickets :D

 

Ordered myself some Valentine's Day candy.

 

Had a great meeting with my advisor, we're planning a proposal and my prelim, I'm going to get samples sequenced soon too.

 

Im happy crying at this, its so wonderful

 

Just delivered the winning kill in two games in a row of pubg!! And in the process proved to my friend that flashy colorful outfits are superior. I’m so glad my phone randomly decided it had enough storage space for this game again

 

phone???

 

Yeah, my laptop would probably die and require another factory reset if I did so much as hover my mouse over the download button for pubg, so I play on the mobile app instead. The controls are a bit difficult to get used to but I actually like them a lot now!

I still want the actual game when I get a better computer tho

 

My box of candy arrived today! And it's delicious. The only thing I regret is second-guessing myself and ordering the tiny boxes of dark chocolate almonds and peanut butter caramels, instead of one big box of peanut butter caramels. (The almonds are good, but I'm not a fan of dark chocolate and these aren't knocking my socks off as much as the peanut butter caramels do.)

 

Also, I polished the silver candlesticks my dad got me forever ago, and now they're shiny again! And don't feel sticky to the touch! (I...have no idea why they were doing that to begin with, but they don't any more!)

 

Nice!! When I experience sticky tarnish I always think of the stuff in my grandparents' house who smoked in there for decades, could be tar n smoke from cigarettes if you don't know the ultimate origin of the candlesticks

 

Could be? But the stickiness was more recent - they weren't sticky when I got them originally (dad picked them up from a thrift shop and polished them up before giving them to me). It could've been cooking oil residue, since they sat in the kitchen, maybe.

 

Def, my mom had this tin box? Like a tin but enormous that sat in the kitchen for ages and developed a sticky residue.

 

Oil plus dust in a hot environment like a kitchen is the perfect way to develop a sticky layer over any objects sitting unused for a length of time.
