Three Good Things

1. TIL that 83% of our mortgage payments last year went to the principal. We are on track to pay off early.

2. I made spring rolls for the wife to share at an office food sharing event, which leads to 2a. The wife now knows how time/labor intensive these are and appreciates it, and 2b. They were a big hit

3. A coworker gave me a shout out for being her only friend.

It's funny to think that this post will self-mute itself for me; however.... Please remember that not everyone is here for political discourse, talk about neo-Nazis, corruption, oligarchy, etc.

Some, maybe a lot(?) of us are here for friendship, good conversation, flowers, and of course CATS.

Please do everyone a favor and use(at least once for filtering purposes) the person/entity's real name. Let's keep this corner of the Internet a nice place to be for all.

Thank you!!

Three Good Things

1. At the Plague Ward (aka medical clinic); someone was playing ABBA on their phone, loudly and proudly.

2. It’s not Strep Throat!

3. Jamba Juice on the way home.

Wow, I am filtering out a shit-ton of words.

You know what, though?

It works!

To the tune of “Your Time Is Gonna Come” by Led Zeppelin:

“Muting, boosting, liking, that's all I seem to do…. “

I love my Fedi feed.

Bonus Three Good Things (because I need it, and maybe you do too):

1. Tonight’s Big Bang Theory episode made me laugh so hard I farted

2. Good Dog didn’t move and trip me as I rushed out of the kitchen for a big sneeze

3. Nothing lasts forever and the Sun is still going to rise tomorrow

Three Good Things

1. Discovered new words to mute.

2. Downloading the youngest’s iCloud to clear up space, and found a great POV video of a snowball fight they had at school in December 2021.

3. The wife honored my request for two sticks of butter in the Snickerdoodle cookie recipe instead of just one… the results were amazeballs.

Wife just brought Bad Boy (our only non-Tuxedo) into my office (AKA The Time Out Room).

"Here's your Orange Asshole", she says as she opens the door.

I could hear this coming; he's been pretty bad out there, this morning.

To ensure a pleasant experience, here, I mute words that relate to #Politics, #Religion, #Sports, etc. So, if I don’t see your post, nothing personal.

Three Good Things (Cat version)

Sparkle Farts can’t leave the dripping faucet alone; it drives him nuts.

Watching Tony Wonder (brother of Sparkle Farts) perform his trick of forcing open a sliding door to enter the “forbidden” room.

Chub Chub ambushed Sloppy and didn’t get her face ripped off.

If you listen closely, you can sometimes hear The Fates whispering “Fuck around and find out” every time someone asks, “What’s the worst that could happen?”

Okay, I admit, it’s actually just one really good thing. Still.

It’s too early for my Three Good Things, but I do have one very good thing: reading about everyone else’s Three Good Things! I appreciate them very much.

1. Chub Chub (cat) got tangled in my headset cable while jumping from my desk, freaked out and nearly destroyed them; however, duct tape has saved them.

2. I made a huge mistake at work, but I think I got away with it.

3. Actually slept not bad for the first time in months.

Three Good Things

1. My feed - it’s cats, haikus, and good things

2. Secretly ate two bowls of chili for lunch…. There will be Farts, which will make Good Thing # 3:

I’m going to fart under the blanket tonight and then trap the wife underneath….
