What Are You Happy About Today?

Today was pretty good.

- Got to sleep in and felt much better after the storms here passed. šŸ’¤

- Played more Wuthering Waves and reached Union Level 33! I also got my Data Bank to level 15 as well, so now I can encounter 5* echoes in the game! šŸŽ®

- Fed my kitties their special food and let my favorite into my room. šŸ±

- Had fun playing the Pokemon tournament with @/Vhoop! It was a close match. šŸŽ‰

- About to head to sleep in preparation for work tomorrow. Should sleep better now that it's not thunderstorming and hailing. :LOL:
 
ā˜¾ I spectated a few streams today and got to play Tee K.O. in todayā€™s Jackbox session!! And mayyyy have ordered a couple t-shirts to commemorate this TBTWC... I am excited for my unexplainable doodle shirts...!!

ā˜¾ I won a design auction while still staying comfortably within the budget I'd set for it ;w; I donā€™t normally participate in auctions of any sort because bidding wars and FOMO are a scary combination lol, but Iā€™m so glad this one worked out aaaa. Iā€™m v picky when it comes to buying character designs and this one was just perfect to me... the colors... the fashion... I wanna cosplay them irl...

ā˜¾ Worked on some more art for a little bit today!!
 
- I read a good chunk of my book today! I think I got a good 60+ pages in.

- I finished a bunch of assignments

- I placed an order for a binder finally! Unfortunately, it may take a while to arrive, since the organization I ordered from is working through requests from September 2022, plus it has to be shipped internationally. But it is completely free and discreet, so that's a huge bonus.

- I had a band rehearsal today, and everything is coming together really nicely!
 
Today Iā€™m happy because I had a lot of fun in my Mario Party and ACNH hide and seem sessions. Iā€™m a bit worried still that I was awkward since I mentioned not being good as the 1 player versus 3 and got 5 ā“ reactions. There was a mini game like that in the original Mario Party and I sucked at it then and still canā€™t do it now. I think I did better overall in both the Mario Party and ACNH Hide and Seek sessions than my previous ones šŸ™‚.

The cheers in chat really made me happy too and the comments on my ACNH outfit too ā˜ŗļø.

I just got done trading with @xSuperMario64x; really grateful for the trade and for their patience. Also happy that I got Fuecoco now ā˜ŗļø.

Iā€™m grateful my friends werenā€™t upset that I fell asleep before we could do salmon run šŸ™‚. It wasnā€™t a good idea to try to stay up that long, but I wanted to help my friends and wanted to try salmon run again before the event is over. I probably shouldā€™ve just took a nap and set my clock but I wasnā€™t sure what time we were doing it since everyone had game sessions.

Iā€™ve been enjoying Pokemon Violet a lot and taking my time. I couldnā€™t wait for the shiny thread to open any longer and have been hatching eggs; no shinies yet! I really love the picnics ā˜ŗļø. Also been doing a lot of low tier terra raids and am having a lot of fun. I want to progress further but since I wanted to do a cat only challenge I have to wait. I only have a few cats right now and I have no idea how I want to build them. Iā€™ll probably just wing it and figure it out as I go.

Thatā€™s it for now! šŸ™‚
 
I was getting really doomy and gloomy for a moment but I feel better now... I feel like (: . And even though I feared Mario Kart would make me upset like last time it actually helped me cheer up significantly, even though I sucked the whole time!
I am okay, I am safe, I am comfortable and I am going the hell to SLEEP!
 
MY DRESS IS HERE it's been delivered to my house and ill be home in approximately two and a half hours its HEEEEEERE aabaskjdhjaksdjn
Oh she's so WRINKLY WAHHHH I hate this kind of cotton but THE PRINT IS SO CUTE AAAAA

ā˜¾ I survived my first round of ACNH hide and seek today by running the entire time LOL šŸ˜­ And then I tried hiding at the docks during friendlies today and was found immediately lmao, but both times were a lot of fun!! Also got to spectate some streams and squeeze in a round of Jackbox! ;v;

ā˜¾ My ACNH rep dressed up to represent the Poyo Puffs made it to the site banner!! ;v; šŸ’—
 
- Had a good talk with someone on a Discord server I was having conflicts with and realized where I had messed up.
- Had some tasty pizza from a place I havenā€™t eaten at in a good while.
- Got first place overall on the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe competitive tournament tonight! 10 years of playing Mario Kart 8, finding a good meta-friendly set, and practicing for a few days leading up to the event paid off!
 
- Been applying for some full-time, office-oriented jobs recently, it feels kind of good to be sort of putting my life in motion again. I've been feeling kind of despondent lately. I was motivated to do so by my grandma who said some really nice things to me when I visited her last, so I guess I'm trying to fulfil her wish for me to get a decent career, don't want to work in a supermarket all my life! šŸ˜…

- Made plans with my friend to go out for lunch on friday :)
 
Not today, but about a day ago, finally got my poster frame in the mail, bought it cause I bought my friend this lovely poster of a eries he likes, and its much better in a frame.
The frame wasnt SO big, but alas they like to put them in really big boxes, so my cats have now decided to keep the box for themselves XD

Well, I have some good news. Today is my last day of school! Now I can spend the summer wasting away my hours in bed playing ACNH on my Switch! JK xD

Also, I'm taking a temporary semi-break from TBT. So that means I'll be active here but not as active as I usually am. This is so I can focus on real life, myself, and my family more. :) I was going to go on an actual break because my mood wasn't the best but I'm better now.
 
i'm ''kinda'' happy... cause i might be getting some new switch joycons tomorrow from argos....

because the drift is really getting on my nerves.... šŸ˜‘



so that i can play with no problems until far into the future :3
& just maybe, i can play spyro trilogy *spyro 2 in particular* without any problems either... :>

I will be happy if the computer starts up today.

So far it's a nice day, sunny but not too hot, plants like that, nice breeze as well, not much noise, neighbors are quiet (pay day, they must all be shopping). If the computer could cooperate as well, it would be a really nice day.

Edit: finally managed to get that compute working after trying for 3 hours (yeah I know, I need a new one)

  • I feel as if I havenā€™t written on here for ages! Even though Iā€™m had a busy time and a few health issues, I still have things to keep me positive!
  • Blossom has been so cuddly and sometimes she will only take food for me and not my Dad! Blossom has also been enjoying her new cooling mat, cooling bandana and cooling towel as itā€™s been quite warm here in the UK. I also got her some doggy sun spray for the summer! I bought a pair of dog clippers about 3 weeks ago and she lets me shave her fur! She doesnā€™t need much of a trim as the de shedding brush seems to take care of most of her loose fur.
  • My brother has still been acting like a normal person and enjoying videos and photos Iā€™ve been sending him of Blossom. He says he doesnā€™t know what to buy for her, so he regularly gives me some money to buy her something that she will like. I bought him a personalised mug and coaster with Blossomā€™s photos on it. He loved it!
  • @xSuperMario64x sent me a video of an adorable Basset Hound.
  • Bought a new set of earbuds for when Iā€™m walking Blossom.
  • Read an online article and apparently Sir Elton is releasing a new album very soon! According to Bernie Taupin (his long time friend and songwriting partner), even though Elton has stopped touring, he will continue to release new music! Iā€™m so excited! Heā€™s also on tomorrow night in a repeat of Top of the Pops!
  • My Dad bought me a 3-piece figurine set of Fisher Price Little People Elton figures! They werenā€™t supposed to be released until July, then they were due to be delivered on Saturday but got a lovely surprise when they arrived yesterday! I absolutely love them! I really hope they release more.
  • Looking forward to the weekend as it looks quiet, so looking forward to chillinā€™!

ā˜¾ I placed second in the late Mario Kart session last night. I think people are starting to catch on to the fact that I'm terrible at Moo Moo Meadows, lmao.
ā˜¾ The trailer for the newest episode of this show I'm watching released abd I'm excited for it! I don't think I can wait a whole week for it!!!

ā˜¾ My paycheck was more than I expected. I checked my paystub a few days ago and it said one amount, but the amount I ended up receiving ended up being over $100 more than it originally said. I'm not complaining, but it was definitely a nice surprise to receive that much more. It made my morning.
ā˜¾ I ended up receiving a compliment on my Barou keychain (from Blue Lock). I'm glad he was recognizable. Nothing about the keychain outright screams "Blue Lock" aside from his uniform which is really only noticeable up close, or the soccer ball, but that doesn't necessarily connect it to the anime either.
Yes, that's a Quinton Byfield jersey in the background.
