Got any good news to share? Got new accomplishments, new dog, new kid, new positive outlook? New shirt, new group, new friend? Fixed your toilet, fixed your screen door, fixed your outlook? I found a few silly but hilarious items for Christmas this year [items that will not appeal to all and also contain some rude words] and I thought it would be neat to see the excellent finds others have found. Also, the aforementioned good news and all that. Kindly kindly, leave the grar elsewhere. [more inside]

I've gotten an unusual amount of good news this week, and it just has me in the best, best mood. Keep my buzz running: Tell me what pieces of good news you've had lately! Could be huge good news, could be teeny good news. It's just been so nice to have a week of hearing good news, big and small, after two years of Hard Things.

Did you get vaccinated against COVID-19? That's awesome! Hearing about that is awesome and reassuring. Did your mom get vaccinated? Your dad? Your grandparents? Your kid? Your partner? Your sibling? Pass it all on. It's all good news. It's good you got the jab! Be well. Tide those of us still waiting over with your story. We want to know!

A followup and thank you for two AskMe posts: here.

1. I don't have cancer. Yay! Recovery from surgery was a bitch though.
2. I have a daughter named Molly. Yay! Named with good advice given in another AskMe thread (pick something everyone knows how to spell, but few people are using).
