I'm not sure it's been quite long enough...

But I think I'll start posting again soon, anyway :)

It'll mostly be happy list posts (at least for now). Before I get those started again, I'll apologize in advance for what will likely be duplicates and repeats, lots of related things all listed in a row, and other shenanigans like that. It's been almost five years since I regularly kept any sort of happy list, so every time I think of something new these days, a bunch of related things cascade out with it. I suppose that's to be expected.

Happy weekend!
