A white flower of a bottle gourd blooming in my greenhouse.
The first one of 2025 in my greenhouse. 🥰 Early bird. No chance of a bottle gourd from this one, it's a male and there is no female flower blooming yet, but still very heart-warming.

A slice of Nutella cheesecake with chocolate ganache and crushed hazelnuts on top. The photo is decorated with a cute frame featuring strawberries and a bunny.
Today's #JoyOfTheDay comes from a little French bakery downtown that @ephonajizabel.bsky.social introduced me to. I had a slice of nutella cheesecake this evening, and also got myself a slice of carrot cake for tomorrow 😋
Officially on the back half of my bedroom renovation, got my bed and desk set up back where they belong 🥰 #JoyOfTheDay
A white picture frame propped up against my bedroom wall, over three feet tall. An Umakoshi illustration of Cure Marine and Cure Blossom with their respective fairies is framed within.
I scored this huge frame for $10 at the thrift store, and used it to frame this Heartcatch Precure art that started as a wall scroll! It's my girl Erika, naturally 🥰 #JoyOfTheDay
A sticker featuring an otter holding a heart, surrounded by the words "You rock!" on a purple background
I made these stickers for @spurfy.bsky.social on commission, and now she messages me whenever she hands one out to someone 🥰 #JoyOfTheDay
Rice pudding with raisins in a pink bowl on a red placemat, with some poinsettia leaves in a vase behind it
I'm having myself a lovely treat, a hot bowl of homemade rice pudding. See? I do cook sometimes 😊 #JoyOfTheDay
Side of a box labeled "Volks Inc." sitting on my bed
Top and long side of the same box, showing that it's quite large. "FRAGILE: Handle With Care" is printed across the cardboard, and fluffy pink stickers have been edited on over any sensitive shipping information.
Oh hello, biggest and most beautiful hobby purchase I've ever made 💖 I'll be back to open you after work #bjd #volks #JoyOfTheDay
Making great use of my vocal training tonight, and doing my best Mario Bros impression to make my friend smile 🥰 #JoyOfTheDay
I don't usually enjoy it, but I've been known to cook every now and then. Today my friend helped me make my favorite roasted red potatoes, and they turned out exceptionally good 😋 #JoyOfTheDay
#JoyOfTheDay - Celebrating a friend's birthday. Also, looking at the "kids' table" and realizing all these 18- and 19-year-olds are some pretty awesome young adults.
A photo of my new light fixture, turned off. It's a frosted glass dome held on by three metal scallop-shaped points.
The same light fixture, now turned on. It holds three lightbulbs, one more than my last one. There is a mix of warm and cool bulbs.
I did it! Bb's first electrical project. Traded out my old brass-chrome-ish boob light for this flush fit glass dome on a white base. And I didn't even electrocute myself or burn anything down! My room is getting closer and closer to my dream space 🥰 #JoyOfTheDay
#JoyOfTheDay I did my first caulking project today, and even though it looked like a horrendous mess halfway through, masking tape saved the day and I think I actually did a pretty good job!
#JoyOfTheDay - Blessed to have my daughter AND my geester (geek+sister) with me today during a medical procedure. Also nice to have a dreary, rainy day so it was easy to come home and nap all afternoon to sleep off the sedatives.
I'm lucky enough to have a wealth of teas to choose from as a warm evening beverage. Today I tried cumin & lemon tea, and I REALLY didn't like it. Weirdly salty?? But then I went ahead and made myself a different flavor, because I have so many kinds 🥰 #JoyOfTheDay
I made it through my entire recording session without my voice giving out! The sickness is almost over! 🙌 #JoyOfTheDay
#JoyOfTheDay - Puppies and Kittens Inauguration! Thank you, @meidastouch.com, for offering counter-programming today that kept a smile on my face.
#JoyOfTheDay - I've never been with women who embrace and celebrate life the way my sister breast cancer warriors do. 14 of us taking over a restaurant this afternoon was great medicine for a dreary winter day.
#JoyOfTheDay - It was warm enough today that I finally saw a few spots of grass peeking through the snow!!! I know that in 6 months, as I get the mower out of the shed AGAIN, I'll hate the grass. But today, it made me happy.

Falling behind on #JoyOfTheDay but if I try to make it a habit my ADHD will throw it across the room the second I forget. So, a Joy for whenever: I got so into the drawing I was working on today that I lost track of time. Being able to pay that much attention to something is a lovely feeling.
#JoyOfTheDay (sort of) (maybe for someone else) -
My cat managing to block me from working on TWO crochet projects at once.
#JoyOfTheDay - What makes it more special is that she has lived the last 3 years in England & soon will be moving to Australia, and will be within driving distance only until March. But we were able to make it work. 2/2
#JoyOfTheDay - Piggybacking pleasure onto a work trip to meet in person for the 1st time with someone who has been an online-only friend for nearly 5 years. 1/2
#JoyOfTheDay - I'm not getting any work done. I'm not getting to crochet. But he's content on Mama's lap, so the world is good. #CatsOfBluesky
@ephonajizabel.bsky.social helped me with my first tarot draw today. Got some good advice from the cards, kind of the same direction I would have taken already, but it was elucidating and fun 😊 #JoyOfTheDay
#JoyOfTheDay - We have an extra teen living with us. Coming home during a winter storm today, I told her to park in the driveway, pulling in backwards, so it will be easier to get out for work in the morning. She was so grateful to not be expected to park on the street, it nearly made me cry.
#JoyOfTheDay - Having so many friends make the move over here from...other places.

Got the card I was hoping for from the collab! #projectSEKAI #JoyOfTheDay
#JoyOfTheDay - So far, all my California friends are safe from the fires. My ♥️ goes out to those who have lost everything, and my thanks goes to all the first responders who are doing their best to save as much as possible.
