What Are You Happy About Today?

Saturday 22/06

My partner was away overnight on Friday, and I'd had someone stay over while she was gone. She came home with croissants for all three of us and we sat around 'til noon just chatting, snacking, and drinking tea. šŸ„:coffee:

In the afternoon my partner and I went out for a walk. We ended up in town and made a shopping day of it. I saw a display in Lush showing they had new CBD-infused products available, and I love their CBD range so picked myself up one of my favourite bubble bars and a couple of their new products (shower gel, massage bar) to try. My girlfriend also bought me a dinosaur bath bomb because I love dinosaurs. šŸ¦–


We also went into a store where we decided to do something super gayā„¢ and picked up a matching silk robe (for me) and night dress (for her). Then after we went to Hotel Chocolat where she bought me some habanero chocolate with a hazelnut prailine centre. It is so good! We capped off the day with iced lattes from Costa and went home to watch the three-part Netflix documentary on the TikTok dancer cult.



Sunday 23/06

We had brunch date planned for this morning at a restaurant we used to go to frequently but haven't been to since September when we moved to the other side of the city. šŸŒ¹
Absolutely amazing food - I ordered the Lebanese breakfast which consists of shakshouka, potatoes, paneer, and bread.


After, I managed to find the perfect outfit for a queer event we're going to on Friday night. Then we stopped in a bar for a glass of wine before heading home. I had a long bath and then played a bit of PokƩmon: Let's Go! Eevee while she's been doing her own thing in the study (probably playing Baulders Gate 3). Then we've a fairly chill evening planned before going back to work tomorrow. :blush:

We don't usually get a weekend where neither of us has plans, so it has been nice to spend some quality time together! šŸ–¤
 
  • Caught up on demon slayer yesterday with my boyfriend. We also played a round of the yugioh TCG which I am extremely overly proud to say I won because I havenā€™t won a game in like 6 months as heā€™s gotten a lot better šŸ˜‚ I think Iā€™m finally getting better. He used the Albaz strike deck and I used my cyber strike deck. So super happy about that šŸ˜€ at first I thought I was gonna lose again like always but then I really strategized and made good use of the cards in my hand and won the game in like 4 turns.
  • I slept really good last night. Also took a nap this afternoon.
  • I finally quit coffee! Including decaf! I basically tapered down from regular coffee to decaf over the course of a couple weeks then drank decaf for a month now Iā€™m just drinking water. I feel like itā€™s a lot healthier. Even though the coffee I drank was always black with no milk or sugar I know itā€™s bad for teeth enamel especially drinking it at the rate I would. Iā€™m gonna let myself have a coffee occasionally but it will be a treat when Iā€™m out of the house Iā€™m not gonna have coffee in the house. Thatā€™s the easiest way to avoid it for me. I was a heavy coffee drinker from the age of maybe 12 onward and Iā€™m 30 now. Plus it will save me money. When you drink 5-6 cups of coffee a day it gets expensive even if itā€™s just with the coffee grounds you go through a lot of it fast.
  • I got some good cleaning supplies from my sister so Iā€™m gonna clean my apartment thoroughly tomorrow
  • I have my volunteer shift with the rescue kitties tomorrow and am looking forward to seeing them ā¤ļø
 
Today's been fantastic! šŸ˜

- Got to sleep in and felt much better because of it. šŸ’¤

- Played my gacha games while having some coffee. I also plan on starting a new Nuzlocke challenge in Pokemon soon. šŸŽ®

- Since it was really hot outside I used the pool for a bit, and it was so refreshing. šŸŠā€ā™‚ļø

- I fed my kitties their favorite food and took care of house tasks. šŸ±

- Looking forward to watching the newest Demon Slayer episode soon! šŸ“ŗ

- Last, but certainly not least, the Texas Rangers defeated the Kansas City Royals today 4-0 behind Mad Max's amazing start back, thus sweeping the Royals and upping the win streak to 4 games!! āš¾ šŸ”„ šŸ§¹ šŸ§¹ šŸ§¹

 
I wanted to share the hard work of my garden. Tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, zucchini, watermelon, cantaloupe! I have grapes, blueberries, raspberries. It's a lot of work, but I am proud of the results!

ā˜¾ My parents and I watched an episode of Haikyu and One Piece, and also Grianā€™s latest Hermitcraft episode! My mom and I are also still trying to keep up with Markiplierā€™s recent uploads ahahah

ā˜¾ Played Rune Factory 3 Special on my main file with Shara! Iā€™ve been working on maxing everyoneā€™s affinity, and the only one left now is Zaid (who has to be close to ten hearts at this point. how much udon do you want from me sir), and checking out the Sharance Maze in the meantime!

ā˜¾ Also worked on some personal art for a little bit!

ā˜¾ I got to see some lovely fanart of two of my favorite Rune Factory love interests ;w;
 
Thanks to some awesome people being willing to date trade things with me recently, I've finished a lineup today that I've really wanted to use since last October and am like 3/4 done on a second one.

I'm planning to use the now-completed one I mentioned in October this year (but I might bust it out in September if I can't wait) and in years to come, and then the other one that's 3/4 done is just a waiting game until the Night Sky Scenery, or Antique Scenery, make a return eventually and it's something I could use year round. Both lineups are very me and I'm excited to use them.
 
Today was overall decent; Iā€™m still struggling a bit with depression but finally was able to shake some of it off for now šŸ™‚.

Iā€™m happy because I got some more shinies. Iā€™m especially happy about scyther since scizor was one that I got a hacked version of through mystery trade; I got rid of it and went shiny hunting for scyther. @Vhoop did a touch trade with me earlier so I could evolve it and we formed a union for awhile. thanks so much again :D.

Here are the shinies that I got today so far:

Iā€™m really happy about Azurill too; I was thinking of shiny hunting for it or doing the masuda method for it since Iā€™m seeing how useful Azumarill is in raids. I have Iron Hands but the more elements I can cover with different pokemon, the better šŸ™‚. I kinda donā€™t want to evolve it because itā€™s so cute šŸ˜…; if I ever get a second one, Iā€™ll definitely keep it unevolved.

My copy of Pokemon Sword came today šŸ„³. My gift card got delayed for two days thougj; I shouldā€™ve bought it in a store or bought a digital code šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø. At least itā€™s on its way and the delay gives me more time to do stuff in Violet since while Iā€™ll still be focusing more on Violet. Once I get the dlc downloaded, my attention will be divided. I have trouble balancing my time and focusing on more than one. šŸ˜…

I got a scream tail from pokemon home gts trade šŸ„³.

I got some snuggles from both my kitties earlier today šŸ„°.

Thatā€™s it for now šŸ™‚.

  • I still have some things to be happy about today!
  • It was a lovely bright and sunny morning. Blossom met a few dogs out on her morning walk. However, I think her favourite was a black French Bulldog called Chase! When she got back home, she decided to lie down on the driveway and wouldnā€™t move for about 10 minutes! If any of my neighbours were watching, they must have got a good laugh with her refusing to move! She was wanting tummy rubs and rolling about! Eventually she did come into the house, then she went into the garden for another lie down!
  • Played some Nickelodeon Kart Racers. Played as Donnie and one of my favourites, Reptar!
  • I had a lovely chat with the delightful Bug. I know I already said it to you, but you genuinely did brighten my day!

- I ate some pizza for lunch.
- Caught a Shiny Cleffa in PL: Arceus and a shiny Bellsprout in Scarlet a few days ago.
I love the autumn leaves, definitely a good one.

- Worked out in the backyard.
- Worked on a sketch of a horse in ink and white gel pen. I also drew a camel yesterday.

- Watched some anime this evening.
 
I was hesitate where to post this because it fits in both categories: Sad and happy.

I am grateful for meeting the most beautiful, intelligent, kind and loving person that brings my mind and heart to peace. Her soul has the most beautiful shade I ever saw and I hope it will never fade away. I am happy that this person was for a short time my entire life and I could share with her the ups and downs of life ā¤ļø

I will never reget meeting this person even if we are not meant to be and may have to go different paths in life. I still have faith that our paths will cross one day again. I want to stop there for a while and reconnect and talk about life. Maybe one day we can follow the same path.

To leave her behind for our own sakes is the hardest thing I have ever done in life. It will hurt for some time. Maybe a long time but now all I can do for her and me is trying to see the beauty in life and move forward like she will do and if life treats you unfair again I will be there because I promised you that I will catch the fall with you.

You will always be in my heart. I will carry you with me on my path in life. You touched my heart and soul and are now a part of my existence.

I went snorkeling today! (My underwater camera wouldn't charge last night and now the memory card is too short to record anything, but here is a picture of the front where I went snorkeling) I saw a barracuda, lots of conchs and baby ones, anemone with clownfish/tang, all sorts of things!)

I will try to get it to work right so I can share an underwater picture sometime today.

Bored post birthday ramblings.

I got this nice birthday ice cream from a waitress. I actually got sick on June 22nd. The day before my birthday. Either too much dairy or too much heat. (I was perfectly okay again on the 23rd).

I dunno why but I was able to stomach this one okay. Then I had a big milkshake today on the way home. Apparently I don't learn my lesson.

I'm not a shopper. One of the only things I came back with from my trip away was this book. Tell Tale Heart was a story I liked and remembered. Poe was an interesting dude. It's also just fun to learn about people.

The trip was fun! In two months I'm flying out to London.

It was way too hot though. When I took a summer trip to Bermuda last year it was a massive rain storm. I'd honestly rather deal with that.

I also liked getting home and seeing the happy pets.
 
yesterday was my mom's birthday so we celebrated that with just the 4 of us and got to give her the earrings we got her Ł©(ĖŠį—œĖ‹*)Łˆ

my cousin reached out to me and asked me to bake the cake for her coworker's baby shower party??? wild but she's willing to pay me so yippee!
we decided on a vanilla funfetti cake with pretty minimal frosting since it's going to be hot this week and we don't want to risk going too crazy with the decorations

my aunt from france, whom i haven't seen since i was a child, is flying in tomorrow so that's exciting hehe

i've been hit with the urge to play minecraft again so i made a new world and i've been having a lot of fun! i made one world that's strictly creative mode and just building for funsies while i also made a second world that's strictly survival and just taking my time with that one

oh oh i also finally went back to honkai after...... too long of a hiatus oops, but i had some tickets left so i did a single 10 pull and got ruan mei !!!!!!!!!!!!! i didn't think i'd win my 50/50 tbh
if i happen to get any more then i'll pull on firefly's banner and see if i can get her in time hehe
 
ā˜¾ Saw a tiny baby box turtle this morning!! šŸ¢

ā˜¾ I made some more progress on some personal art!
