One aspect of human communication I have to remember every time is that statements of fact are often taken as a negative unless a positive modifier is added. So, if you say, "You got your hair done," and nothing else, it's insulting. If you say, "You got your hair done. It looks great," it's a compliment.
If I'm happy about something, I tend to just state it as fact, so I have to run it through a filter to make sure I'm communicating my intention.
My plan for my birthday Wednesday:
Get the Arid Pack for Planet Zoo. Game all day.
Internet provider: We will be upgrading in your area. Expect outages.
Me: Meh. It'll probably be fine.
Universe: I said, "NO!"
My 18 month old, top of the line gaming rig:
Blue Screen of Death.
Happy birthday to me.

Happy #Caturday everyone!
The mockingbird in my yard is really doing the most to show off to his mockingbird pals.
This is all him.
I video chat with my elderly Dad every week.
The man is a genius in the truest sense of the word. He holds several patents for things I will never comprehend.
Last week, I had to inform him that when people say they will text him, that though emails are written in text, these people are not talking about email.
I do not know what to do with the fact that my absolutely brilliant father thought text and email are the same thing.
