August Happiness Challenge: Day 2

Today's happiness: Getting Out

I got up early this morning and waited for a plumber who didn't come. (See post below.) I understand that shit happens and acknowledge that if my job were an emergency that compromised safety or sanitation, I'd want it to be a priority. So I'm trying to be a good sport about what happened. Which is not to say I liked it or that it wasn't unsettling. 

So what to do? I grabbed my headphones and got out. I listened to Pat Hughes call the Cubs game as I walked to the bank and to Target. Being outside in the sun was good for me. The score (6-3 over the Cardinals) and the Kit-Kat bar I grabbed on the way home helped, too. Suddenly I was content again.

Happy August Happiness Challenge!
 
Each day in August you are to post about something that makes *you* happy. Pretty simple. And, it doesn't even have to be every day if you don't want it to be. It's a great way to remind ourselves that there are positive things going on in our lives, our communities, and the world.
