August Happiness Challenge – Days 27 and 28

My 2025 Happiness Icon

 

I have been overwhelmed with worry over Roy Hobbs, so it was hard for me to update this, But I believe it's important, so here we are:

 

Wednesday's happiness: OxyClean Laundry Stain Remover. I was in a hurry Wednesday morning and of course that's when I got a barely noticeable bloody nose in the shower. Truly, I didn't realize it until I dried my face and saw a little red on my (very) white and pink bath towel. I love this set of towels and figured when I got back from the vet I'd do a load of wash to save it. In the meantime I squirted it with OxyClean so it wouldn't set. Hours later, the blood was gone. Just from the pre-treat!

 

Thursday's happiness: Three reservations. The most stressful part of planning for the TCM Classic Film Festival is getting a good hotel reservation. I've stayed at three different hotels and an Airbnb and while they were all nice, one just made the festival going experience so much better: Loew's Hollywood. Of course, the convenience and safety it provides makes it crazy popular with fellow festgoers, and once the dates are announced, it sells out in snap. Karen from my movie group shared her hack for getting her favorite hotel every year: Expedia's fully refundable booking policy. I made three reservations, one for each of the likely weeks in April. Two with Expedia and one with Loew's itself. So now I can relax.

 

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.
