What Are You Happy About Today?

[Dunquixote]

Today was a good day so far .

I had a lot of fun with @Aquilla & @Mokuren playing Splatoon 3! Aquilla taught me how to play the tcg game too!

I got Lopez’s picture on my main island today in ACNH!

I’m happy that I was able to get the goomba collectible and a tera orb! I’ve been wanting the goomba for so long; I thought I’d never be able to get one since I’m always spending my tbt .

Last night I got two more shines! I didn’t play as much Pokemon Violet yesterday as I had been the day before.

Spoiler

I got a preview of the sketch of an art commission and I’m really excited about it; I asked for a Neuvillette with a plushie that looks like that ladle I got from the Chinese lunar new year event. It looks so adorable .

Jewels has been laying on my bed again today. I’m so relieved since I was really worried lately the couple of days she didn’t come upstairs at all. Today, I even had to kick her out and shut the door again when I was trying to sleep since she kept whining for attention (I felt bad but I was still sleeping ; I knew the next thing she’d do would be knock my games or something else off the shelf so I had to bring her downstairs).

I found an island planner website so I’m playing around with that to see if I can get a rough idea of the layout I want with my second island. I was going to attempt drawing my ideas out, but this is much better at least for general layout and not decorating. I couldn’t find the exact template of the ones they have listed, but I found one that was close enough.

That’s it for now . I might have more to post later!

 

[.: Meri :.]

☾ I played a lot of Rune Factory 3 Special again today and held the Amity Fair!! Shara is my favorite and I could go ahead and propose to her now, but to save myself from having to replay the game a bajillion times to see everything lol, I’m gonna max out all the bachelorettes’ hearts and complete all their requests first, then split my save file. Kuruna is currently the lowest at seven hearts, but all the others are either already maxed or close to it! It'll take me a few in-game days to get through all the requests in my mailbox right now anyway.

☾ It’s been getting hot out, so I cut my hair today! Should be much lighter and cooler now, and I’m happy with how it looks! Should be easier to dye this way too.

☾ I watched some Youtube videos with my parents, and my mom and I got caught up with DomPlays’ That’s Not My Neighbor series!

Today was pretty exciting! I’m visiting Portland for my mom’s surgery tomorrow and got some stuff done today.

- The weather was unusually nice for Portland. Sunny, not too warm or cold, and pleasant.
- Stopped at Powell’s Books, one of the largest bookstores in the world, and picked up a staff recommended book with an awesome cover.
- Ate lunch at a bento food cart and had teriyaki chicken, with sweet potato noodles and a tasty small salad.
- Had fun playing some games on my Switch.
- Stopped at a nerdy store and picked up some Pokémon keychains and stickers.
- Went back to my tattoo artist for a free touchup on my Cosmog tattoo. It was much easier this time and I was able to hold a conversation while the coloring was being done. They’re a super nice person and extremely talented.

I'm now the owner of a collectible I've waited so long to get... a Tera Orb! I was planning to trade one of my collectibles away for it and I thought I had a deal with someone but then they decided to step out so I could get it from someone else for free! TYSM again @Mimi Cheems ! Unfortunately, I was trying to deactivate the collectibles in my previous lineup and I accidentally discarded them instead, but I made a thread in the Contact the Staff board ASAP so I'm hopeful things will work out in the end. Wish me luck!

It's still morning for me so if any other happy occurrences happen to me later I'll make another post! For now, I just wanted to put this out there.

Update time! My mom and I went shopping and I got these chips that are supposed to be like my favorite junk food, french fries. They're just regular potato straws, but if I want to satiate my cravings without having to go to a fast food place, those are better than nothing! This is what they look like BTW:

Later I had Jollibee for lunch and dinner! That place always has the juiciest chicken... I would also like to mention that the gravy is great too. I always like to drizzle them on my rice instead of leaving them separate... I also got to work on my crochet projects more.

As for the collectibles, thank you to those who have heard about my drama and sent their hug reactions and messages my way. I highly appreciate it! T_T Especially @ZeldaCrossing64! Thanks for your words of reassurance and for offering to help out just in case! I love you so much! I still haven't gotten a response in my "Contact the Staff" thread though, but I'm sure I will tomorrow.

- Got up today and was productive at work, and went to the gym. I'm able to do push-ups now without any assistance, and I'm getting very close to being able to do pull-ups without any assistance!

- Fed my kitties their favorite food, which they enjoyed.

- I saw something dart by me when I went outside, and it turns out it was a lizard! Look at how cute it is.

- I managed to pull Yinlin in Wuthering Waves today! Super excited to grind for her weapon and build her.

- Also really excited for the NBA Finals game one tomorrow. It's going to be a blast!

Spoiler: lizard

Spoiler: Yinlin pull

 

[Mimi Cheems]

Today... I'm happy because...

♡ I woke up relatively early-ish? I slept so good last night.. I needed it, lol.

♡ Grinded a bit on Wuthering Waves. Getting closer and closer to Jiyan's weapon :3 I can just feel it.. I'm at 38 pulls atm, but I'll get there!

♡ Spent some time with my mom today. I've been really hormonal and grumpy so I needed my mom xD

♡ Joined a small little server (this was the other day tho) where all my friends on TBT and I can hang out, talk, play games, etc! I love how TBTWC opened up new friendships for me.. I have a really hard time making friends and keeping them, so I hope these friendships last forever <3

♡ I finally got one of my dreamies for my AC:NH island! Welcome to Ino, Dobie! He's so cute and grumpy lookin'. Love that about him!

♡ Got the LAST Coconut Dr. Pepper at the gas station. That felt so good I love the new flavor.. I really hope they keep it instead of making it limited.. T^T

♡ Listened to some good music!!! Put me in a really happy mood c:

♡ My bf called me again today! I love hearing his voice. When I'm pms'ing, all I want is to be around him or with him. I love him sooo much ;w;

Yesterday
* My grandparents picked their dog up...again.

* I found out that there is a flower petal basket in New Horizons, and you can just throw flower petals around. Four years in, and I am STILL discovering new things. I think it is a wedding season item. (I've been meaning to talk about this in the ACNH Positivity Thread, but cannot find it ;-; )

* It was confirmed that the condo for our vacation has three rooms. THANK GOD! I am not as skeptical or upset about going on vacation anymore now, since having my own space is a huge deal for me. This was talked about on last year's vacation, as I remember, but I was a bit worried about us getting a different condo, or mishearing, etc.

Today
* My brother got him and I Golden Chick for lunch. Mmmmmm, fries and rolls.

* My (paternal) grandparents came over and dropped off some dresses as a part of my birthday. They were from them and my dad, since the latter bought some of them, just didn't shop.

* I overheard my dad and my grandma talk about the vacation a bit while her and my grandpa were here, and it does seem like there will be some fun stuff to do. Ziplining sounds fun as hell, though I don't know if my dad will have us do it.

This is a round up of my week. I’ve been wanting to write here for a few days but my flare up has been terrible and it’s been taking me all my time to write in the WBY thread. However, I still have reasons to be happy!

• Firstly, thank you to everyone who sent me birthday wishes! I was genuinely touched with members sending me birthday wishes even though I know some of you are going through stuff in your own lives. @Xara , you are so special to me and I had a tear running down my face when I saw you had gifted me a Tasty cake. The collectible was lovely to receive, but your messages are the thing I love the most. They always make me smile and I always appreciate the kindness and thoughtfulness that is behind them. I had a lovely lazy day weekend with my Dad, Blossom and even my brother. I didn’t think I would ever say that about my brother! However, he’s been acting like a grown up, so I will treat him with respect as long as he continues to do so!
• Watched some of my favourite ‘Dukes of Hazzard’ episodes.
• I played my 3 island in ACNH. I was really excited to see that Buck hosted my birthday party on 2 of my islands! He isn’t on my 2nd island, otherwise I’m sure I would have scored a hat trick! It was really special on my original island as Kidd was a guest at my party. Some of you will know that Kidd holds a very special place in my heart and I felt as if that special someone was wishing me a Happy Birthday through Kidd. Maybe it sounds daft but to me it was a sign which warmed my heart. I forgot to play ACNL on my birthday, so hopefully if I time travel I can celebrate with Buck!
• I’ve had some lovely walks with my beloved Blossom. She has been an absolute sweetheart. She seems more cuddly than ever, even my brother said she looks fluffier everyday! Her new evening routine seems to be to come up onto the settee and fall asleep on me! It is so cute to hear her snoring! I love her so much as each day no matter how much pain I’m in, she always makes me smile with her antics! I think she is even funnier now than when she was a puppy! I don’t know if my Dad is just saying this to me to make me happy, but he says that he can see that Blossom regards me as her favourite person. Sometimes she won’t eat from him, she will only eat from me! Yesterday, I gave him a handful of blueberries to give her, as she loves blueberries. She wouldn’t eat them! I came into the room and offered her them and she ate them right away! Some of you must be fed up of me talking about her, but to me she is my baby.
• Finally, I’ve been issued with a month of steroids to help with my bloods and my flare up! They have no idea how happy I am being able to do simple things like open a bottle without having to ask someone to open it for me! I know it’s only temporary but I’m so grateful to even have a few weeks of being able to feel motivated, energized and being able to do simple tasks!
• @azurill thank you for the message on my profile and the picture of Aurora. I always love to see the pet community of TBT!
• Also, thank you to @-Blue- for DMing me. I'm grateful for your support, and love hearing from you.

Spoiler: A few pictures of Blossom!

 

[wrenbow]

Fields of Mistria finally has a demo and a release date! I've been waiting for this game for years so I'm really excited. I played the demo yesterday and it was super cute and pretty much everything I wanted it to be!

Also I got Pecan and Pippy to move in from my campsite in ACNH, so I have all of my dreamies now! I'm finally free from the endless time travelling

 

[Chris]

I'm off to London on holiday today!

 

[JellyLu]

My fiancé took a test Wednesday that determined if he moves forward or has to repeat the year.......

He got the results this morning and I am now the proud fiancée of a third year student doctor

 

[hakutaku]

- Managed to get to sleep early last night, which meant I wasn't exhausted at work today and got some breakfast before I left!

- Had a great shift today, actually, we all had a laugh

- Visiting my brother on sunday, I've not been over to his place in a while so that's nice

- Happy I have tomorrow off

 

[Autumn247]

• I slept really good last night and I took a nice cozy nap this morning
• I’m feeling better than I have this past week so I’m thankful for that
• Walked on the treadmill today with incline for 30 minutes
• Sat outside for 30 minutes and read
• Still enjoying re-watching Demon Slayer
• Enjoying some decaf coffee. I switched to decaf recently because my panic attacks were getting really bad and caffeine was making them worse ️
• I’m probably gonna draw today. I’m thinking of drawing Inosuke from Demon Slayer
• Probably gonna read a lot more today. I’m currently reading like 5 different books at the same time
• The protein powder I ordered arrives today
• I might practice ukulele today too , I’m in the process of learning Fur Elise by Beethoven

 

[xSuperMario64x]

the last three weeks have been so difficult for me, and I've been teetering between feeling okay and feeling miserable but I've been okay for the last few days and I want to say a few things here.

★ first off, I absolutely cannot express just how much I appreciate the patience and understanding of all of my friends, especially those whom I talk to frequently (special SO to @/Shellzilla_515, bless his heart). between dealing with my mum and her being in hospital/rehab for three weeks, and dealing with my fluctuating manic episode, and dealing with big changes and adjustments at work (not to mention more work load bc kids are out of school now), and dealing with changes at home... it's just been too much for me to handle all at once. my mood has been all over the place, constantly shifting between being happy and being in despair. I know I've been a handful and I'm very sorry I'm just doing my best and I appreciate all of the love and support more than you guys could ever know. ️

★ I haven't talked a whole lot about my mum for the last few weeks, there has been so much going on and what little energy I do have has been used up pretty much every single day.
to quickly recap, she had a surgery done recently to have her left sacroiliac joint fused (she's been dealing with chronic pain for over 12 years because of it), and when she came out of her surgery, there was a complication that caused both of her lungs to collapse, and as a result she briefly lost her pulse. she spent one week in the ICU and another week in the hospital with horrible chest pains (from incisions made to insert tunes and drain excess air out of her chest cavity, and also from doing chest compressions) and shallow breathing. she spent about two and a half weeks on oxygen and she's had a difficult time moving around.
but I'm here to say that, despite the complication, she is doing much better now. she's no longer on oxygen, now she's simply monitoring her oxygen saturation to make sure it doesn't get too low. she's still dealing with a lot of pain in her chest and kidneys, but it's getting better as it heals. she's had some atrophy in her legs from not being able to walk, but she can get around okay with a walker.
but the most important part is that, from what we've observed so far, the pain in her left SI joint is pretty much gone! for the first time in over twelve years she isn't dealing with crippling chronic pain in her lower back!! she's able to get up and walk around and not feel like she's about to collapse from the pain. I am immensely happy for her, it hurts so much having watched her deal with this pain for years and years, and now she's finally on the road to recovery!
it's been so difficult at home with her being disabled and having to depend on me for everything. difficult for all of us. but with this she should be able to get up and move at least a little more, so she can help herself and help around the house a bit. she's also thinking about getting an in-home health care assistant to help her a few times a week, since she has Medicare.
this whole process has been so overwhelming and difficult and stressful, but I think things are finally starting to get better for her, and by extension, for all of us. there's still a long way to go, since now she needs to finish healing and she has to go through physical therapy, but she's getting there.

★ as I said, I've been dealing with mania again. manic episodes are so rough, and it's even worse when you understand that it's just like depression, in that you have little to no control over it and it basically consumes every aspect of your life. after being diagnosed with bipolar II over a year ago I'm starting to understand my triggers and symptoms, but that really doesn't make it any easier to deal with. and again, I have to apologize to those whom I have hurt because of my manic antics. I take full responsibility for that.
I have an appointment with my psychiatrist in about two weeks and I will be talking to him about taking something on top of what I already take for depression (which works pretty much perfectly for me, and I don't want to stop it). I'm hoping I can get something figured out. I know I deserve a better quality of life, I don't want the good things in my life to be overshadowed by manic episodes. but it's by no means an easy feat, and it'll take time. until then I really appreciate those who are willing to be patient with me and stand by me through it all.

★ with all of this going on, I find that lately I've been spending a lot more of my time alone, in my own company. I mean, I'm also in the company of my animals, but that's different from himan interaction. my mum has been gone and while I have spent some time with her at the nursing home recently, she's not home and I'm spending most of my time physically alone. as for my dad, I don't really talk to him in the evenings anyway, we mostly just coexist peacefully. I have talked to a few of my friends a bit, but it's been difficult for me to talk lately and I've ended up just spending a lot of time in solitude.
I think it's been good for me though. it's given me a chance to learn to trust myself, and find that I am my own friend. I've come to love and appreciate myself more, even if it has been difficult with mania. I feel more confident in my ability to make good judgments and make decisions for myself. I also find that while I am a very strong person, I often have moments of weakness and I make mistakes. and that's okay! most importantly, I'm learning to be patient and compassionate with myself. and through that, I can extend my compassion and patience and love to those around me.
I've been thinking a lot about my friends lately, and it does make me sad that I haven't talked much recently because of my issues. but my friends know that they are always in my heart, even when we seems to be worlds away.

anyway I'm starting to sound a little sappy hehe. I am still manic after all just trying to find positive ways to channel that energy. moving on...

★ last weekend I went to a Pride festival and I really enjoyed it!! I stayed as long as I could before I had to leave there and head to work, and while I was there I got lots of stickers (including pan stickers for my dear hehehe), a few little handheld flags, some pins, a keychain, and a pair of earrings! my favourite thing I got might just be the little gay (mlm) flag haha, I need to get a larger one too.

★ I've been taking my golden retriever to the park a lot since it's been nice outside, he loves to run around and sniff stuff hehe. but I've also been taking him to the nursing home where my mum is at the moment, and he adores the people there and they love him too! it really warms my heart to see their faces light up when he passes by, and they reach over and pet him while he gently sniffs them and wags his tail. I'm hoping to have him registered as a therapy dog so we can do more stuff like this.

★ lately I've been watching a lot of videos about challenges and game mechanics in Super Mario 64, mostly from Nathaniel Bandy (and his evil twin Bathaniel Nandy), pannenkoek2012, Kaze Emanuar, Simply, and SwankyBox. I swear these guys have turned the game into a science lol, like "Yeah I have a Ph.D. in Super Mario 64"

★ I've actually had some motivation to draw again, for the first time in literally MONTHS. I've not been able to do it consistently since I'm still dealing with a lot at home (in fact, my mum may be coming home soon), but it feels nice to actually be able to draw and not feel like I'm forcing myself. I'm working on something at the moment and I'm very excited to share it once it's done!

★ one last little thing I want to mention, I managed to find someone selling the pink Spongebob plushie that I've been using as my avatar on here, and I bought him! the plushie was a little pricey and I always feel so hesitant when I spend that much money at once, but I've been eyeing him for weeks and I will be so happy to add him to my collection.
I also learned that in Japan there is a thing called "Spongebob Lovelypants" where they recolour him to be pink and blue, and oh my goodness!! he's so adorable!! I honestly want to draw him so much!!

okay, I lied, one last thing haha. my birthday is in five days!!

I have had a wonderful day! 2nd day of my steroids and I feel good!

Please note, this is Blossom heavy, so feel free to skip!

• Had some free time today and wanted to make the most of it while I can move so my Dad and I took Blossom out to ‘The Pooch Pantry’. I had read about it on social media, and it’s only about 25 minutes away. The staff were really nice and had a chat with me about Blossom. They took her picture and posted it on their socials! They gave her a free bag of treats as a thank you! It was a delight to see so many natural and healthy treats for dogs. It was too much of a temptation to buy stuff for her and I came away with more than I thought I would! However, I do not regret it, she is worth every single penny. They were selling mini ice cream tubs for dogs, it was gone in about 3 minutes once we got back to the car! She seems to like popping her Smoky Bacon doggy bubbles too!
• Next, we headed to where my brother works. I didn’t tell him I was going to take Blossom in, and what a surprise he got! He got up immediately and beamed a huge smile at us! I spent about 25 minutes with him and he loved playing with her, as he didn’t have any customers! She sprawled herself across the doorway and ended up with an audience who weren’t even coming into the shop! One person who stopped has a Basset and actually knew that Blossom was a long haired one! That is only the 3rd ever person to know she was a Basset!

Spoiler: Blossom/Her treats!

She loves her cheese straw!

After a busy day, the end result, one sleepy hound!

[Yoshi155]

I’m happy because there’s only one more day of school, which is tomorrow. I’ll probably post here then, but I’m so ready for this.

Also, on today’s geometry final, I actually felt… confident on it. I’m positive that I got an A. And now I never have to think about thetas or angles again until September thank god.

One more thing. I got this in band class and I’ll probably never use it, but I will cherish it forever because this is the best rubber duck I’ve ever seen:

Just one more day… two more tests… I can do this… this is light work…

 

[Xara]

I’m back home!! I meant to post in here before leaving, but I didn’t have time between preparing for my trip, participating in TBTWC and other stuff going on, so sorry for the long post lol

I hope you’re all doing well and getting plenty of good sleep!

ﾒ My mama and I went on our 2-day trip to Niagara Falls, and it was so fun! This was only my 2nd time going to Niagara Falls, the first time being only a day trip, so this was quite the experience! The journey down there wasn’t as bad or as long as we were expecting (thank you Google Maps!), and we were able to check into our hotel less than an hour ahead of schedule! This was also my first time staying in a hotel, which I was worried about as I’m not great at sleeping anywhere other than in my own room and bed, but it wasn’t all that bad! The cable tv absolutely sucked, but the hotel and our room overall were nice! Our beds were super comfy, our bathroom was nice, we had air conditioning (bless) and free wifi, and we were able to see fireworks from our window every night! Our hotel even had a sauna and a pool, though we didn’t use either.

We didn’t get to do everything we wanted to do (SkyWheel and butterfly conservatory we will be back for you!!), but we still got to do and see a lot and had so much fun! We had lots of delicious food, drinks and treats (Belgian waffles my new beloved), went to Bird Kingdom and saw so many cool friends (and foes), saw and got some nice stuff from gift shops, went sightseeing (and got lost), etc! It was exhausting, and it wasn’t perfect, but it was still fun and I’m very grateful for the experience. Above all else, it was nice to spend 2 days with my mama, just us.

Spoiler: i need to get an actual camera (super pic heavy)

Pretty sunset our first night! I was trying so hard not to get the house in the photo haha

Fireworks!

Bird Kingdom!!

I know I already posted these babies the other day, but I gotta post them again because AXOLOTLS!!!!!

The foe… this mf landed on my head right after I took this pic asdfghjkl. He pecked my head a few times, and then pecked my mom when she tried to get him off LOL, but he definitely could’ve done much worse :’) a friend and foe in a tiny body

Everything I got from the gift shops, excluding my sweet treats and the shirt I got!! I was not expecting to leave Niagara with 3 new axolotl plushies, but I adore them with all my heart!! I also adore my 2 cat figurines (the black kitty I got in honour of my late Zeva ) and my axolotl sticker!

Some cuties I saw but didn’t get!

+ like 5 axolotl plushies… had to make some hard decisions

I missed Bonk sooooooo much, though! This was the first time my mom and I have been away from her for longer than a few hours, and it was definitely hard. My dad kept having to open my bedroom door for her to show her that I wasn’t home. I was worried she’d be mad or feel abandoned, but we’re currently cuddling, so I think I’m forgiven. :’)

Spoiler: my baby!!

ﾒ I had so much fun participating in TBTWC! It was overwhelming and exhausting at times, but I honestly miss it all already. Playing and spectating games with everyone made me so happy; it was honestly kinda healing after the rough times I had prior to TBTWC, and it was a welcome distraction from everything unpleasant that happened during. I’m so proud of my fellow Squirtles for landing first place! I couldn’t have asked for a more motivated, dedicated team! I adore our backdrops and our crown trophy so much, and am still so honoured that I was picked to represent our team in the banner!

However, being on the winning team wasn’t what made this event so special to me. It was everything else. It was hoping for Moo Moo Meadows with everyone during every MK8 session, and being so excited whenever we got it (and being horrified whenever a moo moo got hit :c). It was discovering how fun Among Us and Jackbox Games is, and realizing that playing them and not being all that good at them isn’t as scary as I thought! It was playing hide and seek, both competitive and friendlies, and getting to see such incredible islands! It was also occasionally winning hide and seek (evading Pyoopi was no easy feat). It was making team cheers and actually liking them, even my visual ones! It was designing a team flag and Discord emote for points and for fun! It was designing a burning Squirtle dress for my rep. It was my lovely teammates, my motivating team leaders and all of the wonderful people I got to play and spectate with! Winning was just a bonus to so many other incredibly special and fun moments.

ﾒ I got to meet the lovely @-Lumi- and @Saylor in-person for the first time last week!! They literally spoiled me so much and were so kind to me, which they didn’t have to do because their presence was gift enough!! >: ( They brought me the circus animal cookies I asked for from The States (we don’t have them in Canada smh), an axolotl stress toy (which I am actually addicted to I fear..) and a yummy blueberry tart from a bakery they went to!! That is honestly way more than I was expecting (I felt bad just asking for the cookies LOL), but I am so so grateful.. that tart was also so yum I am still thinking about it!!

We went to the mall (it’s so nice hanging out with TBT friends without having food poisoning), and it was so so fun! It was so nice to get to spend time with such lovely friends, though the amount of money they spent on me is insane.. I owe them 3 billion dollars, my limbs tbh and so much art fr, but I am so grateful for their kindnesses, for them coming to pick me up and then dropping me off, for wanting to spend time with me, and for being so fun to hang out with! I am very lucky to have such wonderful friends. ily homies
Special shoutout to miss Saylor for introducing me to watermelon slush.. I am also still thinking about that

Spoiler: my goodies.. thank u Grace i owe u my life

excluding the Melanie Martinez shirt she bought me and the circus animal cookies (that Amy bought me ).. like she bought me Splatoon 3 I offhandly say I should buy MK8 or Splat and she’s like “alright pick a game” like I will cry???

I also got this guy.. pastel clown my beloved!! The only thing I got to buy for myself

AND I got to try popping boba for the first time!! I wasn’t sure if I’d like the texture, but popping boba is actually a lot of fun! I got a green apple drink with strawberry boba :>

ﾒ I’ve been enjoying Splatoon 3 so far! I haven’t had a chance to play much of it yet between TBTWC and then going on my trip, but I’m looking forward to getting back to it soon! I’ve mostly been focusing on the story so I can get used to the mechanics without embarrassing myself lol, but I did play in the last TBTWC friendlies session! I’m not even remotely good at the game, and I’ve not a single idea what I’m doing ever, but I gotta admit that it’s still pretty fun and addicting! I’m excited to hopefully get used to the mechanics and everything else Splatoon has to offer!

ﾒ My mom and I went to Walmart a few days before our trip to pick up some things we needed, and she got me a pride axolotl!!

Spoiler: my son..

ﾒ I got a Summer Shell collectible from the lovely and generous @Biyaya! I didn’t get one in 2020 since I didn’t participate in that event fully, which I’ve regretted since (especially since I wasn’t sure if they’d ever be tradeable), so I’m very happy and grateful to finally have one! Thank you so so much again Biyaya!!

ﾒ I slept really well last night! It was the first full night’s sleep I’ve gotten in over 2 weeks, and I needed it so badly omg.. no streams/games to try and wake up for, I got to sleep in my own bed.. I didn’t even need to take my sleepy meds, I was out. I laid down for 2 mins before it was even midnight, and suddenly it was almost 9am
