What made you happy today?

Getting home is what made me happy today, after at work this morning I got a strike to the forehead by a very heavy solid steel bar, ( a pallet wrecking bar) no one's fault ( sort of) almost knocked me out I think, and I have a nice lump on my head as a rememberence

Sounds painful, glad you’re doing better today though 😊
 
The sun shone on the daffodills in my garden, the birds are singing, spring is on the way - hopefully!

Rusty and Peanut had floor time today while I cleaned their cage. Rusty is showing much more interest in life and did a little popcorn.
 
Although it was cool, the sun was shining and it felt like it does at the beginning of spring - when it’s not cold but not warm either. Vitamin d! And it’s odd what a bit of sunshine can do for the mood ☺️ I tolerated my daughter’s constant singing better today - I didn’t tell her to stop 😁
 
Well today I'm a bit sad that my Mum is back in hospital, but I am happy because the dentist cancelled my appointment for tomorrow. I didnt want the appointment, its for an expensive private scale and polish with the hygienist who makes my gums bleed then charges me too much, but the dentist really pressured me into it and when I tried to cancel they kept phoning me until I rebooked... but now they have cancelled so its not my fault :)

Some one paid me a nice compliment and said she liked my coat. Such a small thing but it made me wonder when I last said something nice to a stranger.

That’s lovely. At least once a week I pay a compliment to a stranger. It’s a conscious thing, as it’s actually an amazing way to make yourself feel happier and better about life. And it makes the recipient feel special, too.
 
I'm also happy that my pack of 7 new fleecy pee pads was delivered today, got them from Atalas on ebay- just the right size to fit in a hidey house for pee monsters Jezzy, Blod or Tallulah who all need their fleecy beds and sit-upons changing every day!

Sorry about your mum.
Hope she gets home quickly
 
My happy moment today was clearing rubbish in the garden & my little Robin friend perched next to me (few inches away) picked at a few bugs & then Robins little partner was a couple of feet away. I think they're thinking of nesting :D
They seemed to be 'twitterpated' 😘
Also the little family of long tailed tits was in the tree along the road. I love springtime 💞

I've also realised I am a silly duffer & posted this plus some extra bits on another thread. Oops lol 😂

@PigglePuggle I hope your Mum is in good spirits.Dare I ask about the hamster?

Mr Alice is still seemingly alive and well though possibly rather obese since Mum decided he liked eating sugar puffs breakfast cereal... as well as his hamster muesli... and a piggy size portion of veg every day... a rather bemused nurse phoned me tonight to specifically ask if I knew anything about a hamster that my mother was fussing about so Mr Alice will get a good inspection tomorrow!
I rarely see him as he's usually asleep when I go round to Mum's during the day and she's a bit overprotective/territorial about letting me check on him and help clean him out but he definitely has the right size cage and wheel and always looks to have clean water and far too much food, personally I'd feed him less and give him deeper woodshavings and more paper bedding and more stuff to do, but it seems he's getting all the essentials and meeting minimum welfare requirements even if its not quite they way I would do things myself :)
 
It sounds like Mr Alice will miss your Mum whilst she's in hospital, even if he does get a better diet ;)
Speedy recovery for your Mum, hope she improves /stabilises quickly... At least she's remembered Mr Alice even in hospital... That's so sweet :hug:

Congratulations on your cancelled dentist appointment too :clap:
Xx

Thank you! Mum isnt the best suited to having a pet but she randomly bought him from a pet shop one day then we supplied the correct sized cage and wheel for him- Mum is terminally ill and she says he keeps her company at night when she can't sleep so we can't really argue with her, he'll get a partial cage clean tomorrow and probably I will confiscate his excessive secret stash of sugar puffs and give him some extra torn up paper strips to nest in and a few toilet roll middles to play with :)
 
Well.. last night I got stressed when me and my partner where trying to discuss my pony flying over from the U.K. trying to figure out how we will pay the debt back to our friend and how long it will take etc... I ended up just crying, I’m feeling overwhelmed by things at the moment... HOWEVER since then I’ve felt quite cheerful :)) :)) Must have needed the little cry (I NEVER let in how stressed I am to my partner.. it’s a fault of mine lol).
So this morning (9.30am here in Aus) I’m feeling a little more cheerful, got up early to put my piggies outside for an hour or 2 before it gets to hot. Wilma has started to love her metacam so that made me happy that she’s now enjoying her medication. And it makes me happy when I see her little face waiting for food each morning, each day is a blessing with her now. As the first thing I think of when I wake up in a panic, that she has died in the night (she has cancer). And it makes me happy when all 5 of the pigs start wheeeeeking together.
And Mary was a good girl taking her medicine this morning too!
Last night I discovered that almost all of them love lapping up critical care from a syringe (I was trying to give it to Mary!)
They just make me happy, they’re all so precious. Don’t know what I’d do without them.
And I’ve woken up feeling fine today, whereas yesterday morning I woke up very ill.
The sun is shining, the birds are sqwarking, the piggies are munching grass and I’m ok.
So today, hopefully will be a good day.
 
What made me happy today was sitting chilling out watching TV with my Dad in his care home, where the staff are so caring and he's settled so well. I know it's not always like this and I'm hugely grateful to them that my Dad is happy.
 
I managed to get out in the garden & clear some more wood, weeds, junk from an unused greenhouse frame.
My little feathered friends were watching me intently again today, they then decided to join me...
Meet Mr & Mrs Bobbin my romancing Robins 💋

They must have found loads of worms & wiglets, especially as I moved a big wood pile from there to the other side of the garden.
 
My eye test was absolutely fine. I've stressed about it for weeks! My prescription has changed slightly so he recommends new glasses & I'm "perfectly legal" to drive. He wouldn't guess when I asked for an estimate of how far 20metres is though.
 
@Sar always good news! I had to make an appointment as one of my eyes has not been focusing properly after I wake up - even with glasses on. So my happy for yesterday is that my prescription hasn’t changed and she didn’t find anything wrong with my eye 💃

What made me happy today was seeing my shyest piggy sleeping out in the open - TWICE!. And she stayed there for at least twenty minutes the second time. She melts my heart because she likes things on her own terms:wub:
