The rare opportunity to sleep in on a Saturday made me happy today.

Happiness50 Day 242 (9/19/26)
My culinary successes made me happy today. Yesterday, while sorting through a pile of recipes, I found my beer bread recipe, which I used to make all the time, but hadn’t made in years, because I had misplaced the recipe (luckily I apparently wrote it out for my mom at some point, because what I found was in my handwriting). I made that today and it came out beautifully. I also cooked up some of the potatoes from yesterday’s harvest, and we had those with parsley from the garden and broccoli and eggs from the supermarket. Since I gave my mom my cold, I did all the cooking, and it all came out deliciously, if I do say so myself.

Helping with the potato harvest at my mom’s senior complex garden (she’s the unofficial head gardener) made me happy.
