What Are You Happy About Today?

Still feeling super stressed and depressed but plenty to be happy about 🙂. I just took my medicine, so I should perk up eventually 🙂.

@skarmoury sent me a really sweet message ☺️; it really made me so happy. This week has been really rough; I still haven’t destressed from when my switch lite wasn’t charging. So it really cheered me up a lot hearing from her ☺️.

I was really happy to see that some people liked my outfit that I put together for the island rep submission. I haven’t been feeling very confident about things I submit for events or things that I just share for fun even if I like it a lot, so it made me happy to see that. 🙂

Jewels laid on the table while I was eating; she looked so cute since she looked like she was falling asleep. She just followed me upstairs; I guess she was waiting for me to finish eating to go back upstairs since is very clingy 😸☺️. Now she’s sleeping in a box and making some snoring sounds 😹. So tough being a cute kitty 😸.

That’s it for now 🙂.
 
Today I did my first ever independent interview. I have done an interview once before for a journalism assignment but I have never just independently set up and executed an interview. It went so well and I’m really excited to write it up. I’m going to be sharing it directly to social media as that is the target readership (:
 
updated happies:

  • My sister came over. She brought McDonald’s, I had a Big Mac and a caramel frappe and she had chicken nuggets and fries. 🍟 she also brought me a bag of Death Wish coffee which is a local coffee company so that was really nice too! ☕️ It was good to see her!
  • I watched Five Nights at Freddy’s, it was really good! I have the games but never really played them because jump scares/horror games scare me 😂 😈
  • I finished reading a book! 📚
  • I got a permanent shift with the rescue cats volunteering. So I get to do every single Monday and 2 Sundays a month. So that’s exciting! It’s good for me to get out of the house and do something that makes me happy and feel good 😺🐈
  • My mood has picked up a lot! I’m feeling less blah than I have been feeling the past week
  • I got/get to spend time with my boyfriend today. We watched a couple episodes of Naruto over FaceTime. Next we’re gonna play some of the yugioh TCG together over FaceTime. ❤️🙂
  • I practiced ukulele today! Didn’t get around to the violin today but I plan on it tomorrow! 🎻
 
I got to play in the SSBU friendlies match this morning, and also play in a couple rounds of classic Among Us later this afternoon!! ;w; I had a lot of fun both times hehe

Also have enjoyed spectating in streams today!! I love watching the ACNH hide and seek streams especially ;v;

I completed both of my cheers for this window! I made a beaded rubber band bracelet for the Poyo Puffs and wrote another haiku. The bracelet feels really nice to wear too actually; I’m really happy with how it turned out! Might have to make more beaded rubber band bracelets for my dad’s students 👀

My parents and I watched a little Youtube, including SolidarityGaming’s Minecraft SOS finale!
 
Today was another great day! 😁

- I got to sleep in and then had a very delicious Memorial Day lunch, and still have leftovers. 😋

- Played some more Wuthering Waves and reached Union Level 32! 🎮

- Speaking of video games, I also played my first 4 player match in Demon Slayer Sweep The Board along with @/Mimi Cheems, @/nyx~, and an offsite friend, and I came in second place! 🥳

- Had fun participating in Smash friendlies just now. I hope you guys enjoyed my Pac-Man antics! :LOL:

- I'm glad I have tomorrow off work and can sleep in. 💤

- Last, but certainly not least, the Dallas STARS! just defeated the Edmonton Oilers 5-3 to take a 2-1 series lead in the NHL Western Conference Finals!! The Stars were down 0-2 after the first period, but came roaring back thanks to Jason Robertson's hat trick, and ended up winning the game! 🏒 🔥 💚

I’m doing much better now, moodwise. 🙂 I just got done doing some terra raids with @Chibi.Hoshi & @Vhoop ☺️. Really grateful for the help! Been enjoying chatting with them both and hearing about their shiny hunting 🙂. I’m happy I got some dittos out of the runs and a Vaporeon! :D

I had a nice chat with @Aquilla too, who gave me a lot of good tips for shiny hunting in Pokemon Arceus! ☺️ Really grateful for her checking up on me earlier and reaching out with some tips. 🙂

I enjoyed watching some of the streams today 🙂. It was nice chatting with everyone too! ☺️
 
My Mystery Snail finally laid eggs last night. And... it seems like alot of eggs....
I am excited because I think it will be a fun experience if the eggs survive. I am certain they are fertile.
I am curious to see what colors I get. Maybe I can find someone local to trade most of the snails to for plants. I need more plants.
I am glad she finally laid. The male that I have was already full grown when I brought him home, so I don't really know how much life is left in him? And I thought it would be nice to have his offspring. My female isn't as old but was a good size when I got her.
 
just something short, I decided to check my credit card app today (for the first time in like 3 weeks rip) and my score went up from 711 to 724! as it turns out, they upped my available credit from $1000 to $5000, so that gave me a good boost in score. plus I've made 100% of my payments on time and everything else is in good shape! 🥰💗
 
I FINISHED MY 50+ QUESTION ASSESSMENT WITH TIME TO SPARE
Screw q21 a / b and q22 they were a hassle....I mean, i will have to see if my teacher sends it back but heres hoping they won't. I dunno how else to write it in my words when the workbooklet talks like me sometimes.
 
I decided that it's in my best interest to not work today. Instead, I'll spend this morning applying for jobs. I applied for two cashier positions one overnight stock associate. My first job back in 2016 was overnight, so it wouldn't be too much trouble getting back into it! Besides, hiring managers are less selective with these positions since it's hard to find someone willing to work third shift. This is also a shift I really enjoyed, so I'm not opposed to it either.
I realized last night that our trip to Disney World is only five months away! It feels like just last week it was over a year away. I really enjoy these trips with my mom and friend. I’m mostly looking forward to the trying the Pineapple Dole Whip. I loved the Orange Cream flavor I tried last year, so I can imagine the Pineapple Swirl one tastes just as great!
I picked up some Grape Gatorade this morning!!
 
I’m happy because I had so much fun during the 3 AM Splatoon session; was really happy some of my friends made it to spectate :D. I felt like I did pretty good, even though still nowhere as good as the more experienced players 🙂. Regardless, I had a blast :D.

I had signed up for a Mario Party session tonight but I think I didn’t get this spot either. I’m a little bummed but at the same time, kinda glad since I can finally play some more of my second island and just chill.

It’s mushroom season on my second island! It’s nice to experience a different season on my second island. I don’t remember playing much of any season except for summer on my main island. I know I have screenshots from some of them, but I don’t remember much and I’m pretty sure there were times I played less (before taking a complete break).

I played some more Pokemon Violet earlier. I got my second cat Pokemon from a terra raid :D. I also got some eggs from the picnics; no shinies yet (am going to wait to resume once the shiny thread is open; would hate to get a shiny and not be able to submit it). I’m really enjoying the picnics! The Pokemon look so cute playing with the ball or napping ☺️. I tried making a sandwich too 😅

Help! 😂🤣 I love the music when I’m making the sandwich too! It’s fun but as you can see 😅 I need to work on my sandwich making skills.

Earlier I got some extremely helpful tips from friends too and a foreign ditto from one of them 🙂.

That’s it for now 🙂
 
I had a really productive day

I started out the day by reading for 2 hours. 📚Then after that I worked through some of my music theory workbook. 🎼 Then I read my Chess strategy book since I’m trying to learn how to play chess. ♟️
After that I meal prepped. Made chicken, spaghetti and broccoli and portioned it into meal prep containers. I also meditated and journaled and tracked my mood.

Then I got on the treadmill for 45 minutes. Did some other exercises too like weights, squats and sit ups. Then I sat outside for awhile to get some fresh air and read some more out of my chess strategy book. Then I showered. Drew for a bit, practicing drawing anime eyes. Then I practiced violin for an hour.

After that I felt kind of worn out and like my energy crashed and had a kind of mood swing downward but my boyfriend called me and cheered me up.

I might do some more music theory stuff later, probably do some listening exercises. Also gonna watch more of the lord of the rings: The two towers (extended edition) while I enjoy my coffee. And read some more. Maybe sketch a bit too.

So it’s been a good day overall
