in the interest of throwing some positivity around, how has joy found you recently?

I'm not going to put a time limit on "recently." I personally have been struggling, so I thought it would be nice to see some other people's enjoyment of things.

for me, I've got a couple small things. it's nice out, finally, so I've started taking walks again (I like to go for about three miles at a time) with music to listen to and I'll chat with my friends too. additionally, I've handwritten some of my friends and my partner letters, with stickers inside for them to have. I'm really looking forward to them getting them.

lastly, I know I've posted before on things like linux and selfhosting, and I've been doing more with that. nothing too spectacular, but I recently spun up a Ghost blog container... that only took me 5 hours to troubleshoot, hahaha. I think it's my setup, but I'm just glad I did it. I use it as a private journal that my partner reads and comments on. I'm hoping to try again with some other services, like Calibre Web Automated and a bit of the *Arr suite.

Went out to celebrate my friend passing her comps and simultaneously had some flirtatious fun with a friend of hers. Eating some delicious popcorn from another friend's kid's fundraiser. Going to a protest Saturday, and more quality friend time after. I am very lucky to have solidly wonderful people in my life.
