I’ve been consistently failing to write these #happy posts. My excuses are long and varied, but none of them are good. Nor did their outcome compensate for the happiness these posts bring me. I’m starting a timer today while writing this. Just to prove to myself how long these take to write. So then, maybe I’ll get back to my weekly schedule.
A late night #happy post. I spent the weekend rearranging and organizing the apartment with @mel_cantrell. It’s slowly starting to feel like home. But let’s talk about things I consumed, not things I did!
It’s June! A #happy post, on time and in the can.

So… it’s been five weeks since I last wrote one of these… my shame is great. I’ve been sick, and I also was traveling for a bit, so I guess that’s a valid excuse? Not really… but #shrugs.
I’ve been trying to get better at not using the words insane or crazy in every day dialog. For a while I tried out “bananas” as a replacement, as suggested by @mel_cantrell. But the more I tried it out, I felt like it came off as a code word for crazy.
Ok, so I wrote this #happy post on Sunday, and then forgot to post it… like a fool. So here is what made me happy last week.
Look at me! I’m writing a post on time!
A #happy post! Ontime! Huzzah.

Hey everyone.
So, I’m home sick with the flu (or something that looks like it at least…), and even with that, I still can’t get a #happy post out on time. But that being said, here’s a week’s worth of links that I enjoyed.
Wow, I have totally fallen out of habit posting these. That being said, let’s try and get a #happy post out right now. It’s lunch time (kind of…), so lets list some links!

Ok, I’m trying something. I’ve mentioned that I’m not reinstalling Twitter on my phone. So I’ve built a little Heroku App that emails you tweets from people you don’t want to miss a tweet from. It runs once a day, and returns just plain text tweets with as little formatting as possible.

I just realized I posted this on Facebook but not out to the wider world. So heads up, I’m making moves after three months of unemployment.
Ok, let’s do this. I was on a decent roll, but it wasn’t a good enough habit to withstand travel, or the pre-travel anxiety I guess.
Whee, #happy Saturday!

I posted this on Facebook, but I figured I’d repost here as well.
Argh, can’t believe I missed posting two of these on time. I was doing so well! Darn. Oh well. #happy post, let us get you out there.
All right kids, #happy February!
Well the past few days have been… tragic. Depressing? Interesting? Unsurprising? I don’t know.
I’m in kind of a funk. A weird existential funk, thinking about jobs, the communities I’m apart of, what I want to accomplish with my life, etc. Interestingly enough, creating these #happy posts is a really easy way for me to get my mind off of things. My blog’s “new post” UI just provides me with a list of page titles (hence why I complain at people when they don’t have unique per page title tags). So I just slowly read through subject lines trying to remember what this post was I read sometime in the last ten days.
First #happy post of 2017. Here we go!

Ok, I’ve been completely failing on writing and getting things done while I’ve been traveling. But today we need to change that.
Hey all!

Hello hello hello!
I’ve been slacking on the #happy posts. So I figure, let’s close out the year with one last post.
As a follow up to my post on Let’s Encrypt Certs on Heroku, here is how you update your certs when it’s three months in and they are expiring.
I’m currently sitting on a chair up in rainy Northern California. Listening to music, drinking coffee and browsing the internet. Political news has continued to be incredibly depressing, so let’s focus on the #happy.
My friend @alexbaldwin has been telling me to do this for a long time, and I figure it is time to bite the bullet.
It’s time for a #happy post. Maybe next week I’ll get it done on a Saturday… but what is time?
