What Are You Happy About Today?

[.: Meri :.]

☾ Got to read further into volume 14 of Kimi ni Todoke!

☾ I stayed up a biiiit late to do it, but I’m finished with my playthrough of Pokémon White 2!! Didn’t go full completionist with it by any means ahaha, but finished all of the postgame story, caught all the available legendaries, and did a lot of the postgame challenge stuff too, including making it through all the areas in White Treehollow!! pink dratini GET!! now lemme tt back to the TBTWC
This also means I’m officially caught up with DS-era mainline Pokémon now (and by extension my entire DS library actually!! though I do still want to replay Dragon Quest VI!), and I'm excited to start playing the 3DS era games soon. c:

☾ My parents and I started watching Grian’s latest Hermitcraft episode! It’s another long one so we’re splitting it up into parts eheh, but we got to see a few other shorter videos too!

Nothing like a nice chat with my friend @ZeldaCrossing64 to end the day (or start it for them, as they were staying up late as always ;^_^) on a good note. I love them to pieces. And I'm sure they were happy about our talk too. :)

Before that I got some snacks, had a burger and fries from In-N-Out, and bought some yarn I was running out of.

I’m feeling much better than I was yesterday; I haven’t gone to bed yet, though . Early post before I try to sleep .

I wasn’t going to pull on another banner in Fate Go, but I caved in.

Spoiler

I honestly don’t like her design (for a certain reason; her initial form I’d like more if it wasn’t for the one thing that bugs me .) I didn’t need her either since I have two solid Berserkers - one single target and the other aoe, but both are buster type servants. But I read how good she was and her ranking in the tier list on gamepress and so I thought I’d try to get her since I do like the Berserker class the best and since I have some good art type servants (there are three types of servants: buster, art, and quick), I thought it’d be helpful to have her not to mention have a different type of team since I normally use a mostly buster team. I’m having fun using her from my friends’ support units .

I maxed one of Avalon’s (one of the units I recently pulled) skills recently ; also finally got Ashiya Douman’s level to 90. Now I’m working on leveling and ascending this new unit I got and all three of these characters’ skills.

Earlier Spanky was sleeping and Jewels wanted her spot so she jumped on her and started trying to wrestle her . Spanky was not pleased; she lost her spot but this time she didn’t leave. These two love each other so much but Jewels can really be such a bully sometimes . She always wants the spot Spanky is laying on on my bed.

I’m happy that my day (yesterday) ended better. I’m just worried about having another dream that makes me more depressed. I’m hoping today will be a better one ; I can still feel the depression and triggering thoughts there and also i keep hearing my dad’s and/or mom’s phone or ipad that has same notification sound as the app i use to chat with my friend .

It's a beautiful day today, sunny but not hot at a nice 20c degrees

I made some delicious avocado toast with eggs, bacon, hummus, salsa, and salad

My cold feels a bit better today

Overall a nice day off!

• Got up early again. Love to make the most of the days when I feel good!
• Had a lovely morning walk with Blossom. It was bright and sunny with a cool breeze. Blossom is starting to eat a lot more now! I think she has passed her ‘puppy puppy’ stage and turning into a stereotypical Basset Hound now! I can’t believe how much she has grown even since the beginning of the year!
• Continued to convert my old media. I found a couple of concerts that my brother was interested in, so he was pleased!
• Took the first haul of bin bags to the tip. After that my Dad and I went for a drive with Blossom. It was lovely and afterwards we ended up with a very sleepy Basset!
• I don’t know why, but when my brother came home, Blossom started barking at him! She’s never done that before! She didn’t do it again, so I’m wondering if he had been wearing a different scent and she didn’t like it.

• Found so many Cassette Tapes/CD singles that I didn’t even remember buying! I do love nostalgia! I even have some of the receipts still in the CD cases! I will not be binning them! I will need to have a look at some of the CD-Roms I have.
• Did some cleaning upstairs and cleaned my suede boots.

Tuesday, July 23, 2024

• Got the shopping done. Collected the remainder of my prescription and collected Blossom’s prescription. When I first got Blossom I bought a pet carrier – I know it sounds silly now, my excuse is I was a first time pet parent! It had never been used as she was too big for it even as a puppy, so donated it to the local vets. It will go to the Cat Protection charity.
• Bought some Team GB merchandise. A Team GB mug, Team GB wristbands and Team GB pens!

Spoiler: Blossom!

I slept 8+ hours last night! After three weeks of insomnia I was glad to wake up feeling refreshed. I was skeptical about the sleeping pills, as I was awake long after I should have fallen asleep, but once I fell asleep I stayed asleep! Glad I took today off work because I didn't wake for 2.5hrs after my alarm would normally go off.

I got a yoga session in this afternoon then took a walk to the doctors to hand in my physio referral paperwork. It was 22C out so a pleasant walk.

Received the revised quote from the decorator after we asked to make some additions to the original plan. We are happy with the price and going to pay the deposit and book a date tomorrow.

Made a healthy dinner and had a quiet evening in. Felt too tired to do anything so I found a TV show I could get fully invested in.

Got a session with my PT at 7AM tomorrow morning. I'm nervous after seeing the itinerary but nonetheless excited.

☾ I ended up going to have some teeth extracted yesterday! The price went way up, and it truly sucks how expensive medical care is in the United States. My mom ended up lending me some money. I ended up explaining my situation and the surgeon ended up pulling three teeth for the price of one. I was extremely grateful for that, as those specific teeth were causing so much discomfort. I’m still experiencing minor pain from the extraction site, but it’s not excruciating like it was last night. Additionally, he said my implant looks amazing.
☾ I’m thankful to my mom for lending me money. I hate asking for money, especially in large amounts. Her job pays so well and I know she has money to spare, but that’s the only reason I didn’t feel worse. It was $200, for reference.
☾ I’m looking forward to a few days from now I can finally eat normal food. My stitches should also fall out between Wednesday and Friday on their own, so I’m happy they won’t be there too long.

My husband is coming home today after 12 days of being away. It was a little rough on Nicholas and I, but we made it and I got my entire list of goals accomplished in that time. Pretty proud of myself, as it had some big jobs - breaking down our old entertainment center, putting together our new one, painting our front room, and hauling a recliner out to the curb. Oh, and lugging something large from the basement all the way upstairs. All by myself and with Nicholas to take care of too.

I'm feeling a little better today after an illness. I was able to get outside and have some air again which was nice.

When I stood up yesterday my legs gave out and I fell backwards.

 

[Mimi Cheems]

• I got Ellen in Zenless Zone Zero!!! I'm so happy about this 'cause everyone who knows me knows I LOVE sharks!!!
• My mom got me a yarn winder for my crocheting. I can't wait to make all these random skeins I have into smaller cakes of yarn! ^_^ It'll be here tomorrow!
• My boyfie and I talked on the phone like 5 different times today. I'm happy about this because we normally don't call often unless if he's at work.
• Got some Sweet Cream coffee creamer. My dad got it for me on his way back from his job interview! I'm really glad he seems to be getting better and more productive.
• Moved my PC onto my desk, instead of it just sitting on my carpet on top of 2 big wooden planks xD It looks so nice on my desk, but now it's more cramped T^T I also put my Inosuke funko pop in there with my Mitsuri one! Now me and my bf (I kin Mitsuri, he kins Inosuke), can always hang out in my PC :3
• Drank some good yummy coffee today! I have a migraine so coffee definitely makes me feel better ;w;
• I slept really good last night! I have a bad habit of falling asleep with my big light on, which I did in-fact, sleep with the big light on AGAIN; but I slept decently regardless.

 

[.: Meri :.]

☾ Finished re-reading volume 14 of Kimi ni Todoke, and began re-reading volume 15!

☾ I started playing Pokémon X today! I made it through the first gym and was also able to buy one (1) cute hat

☾ My family and I watched some Youtube videos this evening, including more of Grian’s latest Hermitcraft episode! Should hopefully finish it tomorrow c:

It’s been a great day off. Got up early and had a nice morning walk with Aurora. Got some yard work done this morning. Went to the store for some things we needed and picked up the DLC for Pokemon Violet. Had a nice relaxing afternoon playing Pokemon violet. Won the Academy Ace Tournament. Started playing the DLC but haven’t gotten far as I am having so much fun exploring. We had lasagna for dinner and I made a lemon pound cake for dessert. Hope everyone had a great day.

Spoiler: Pokémon Violet

 

[SkyKnight03]

Starting Driver's Ed next week.

I'm excited to get my real drivers license.

(if I can pass)!

 

[hakutaku]

Another relaxing day off! I actually managed to sleep in today, usually I wake up at 6:30am but today I got up at 8:30am, it's nice to get the proper amount of sleep for once

Ate some nice food, chilli cheese fries and leftover cake from my sister's birthday yesterday

I'm happy that my shift at work tomorrow doesn't start until 12pm

Just super excited that my trip is only about 1 month away now, super hyped! (but also need to do some preparations too!). I finalized our itinerary for Singapore + Malaysia last night and I'm pretty happy with it

 

[-Raven-]

Conviction to a more positive outlook, less worried on the possibility of failure is coming

In the vaguest terms I have things to look up to even if this is an uphill battle

 

[Midoriya]

I'm doing a lot better today. I was productive at work and I'm also headed to the gym soon. In addition to that, I've started journaling in a journal I found after having cleaned my shelves out, and I feel as though it'll help me a lot with frustrations, reflections, and more from my day-to-day life. I'm also going to be speaking with my therapist in around a week and a half.

I've been hit with a lot of heavy blows lately, but I remembered that we can't change what happens in our lives once it's already happened. But... we are able to change our attitudes on it and how we respond. So I'm not giving up, because I know that as long as I continue to not give up for now, in the near future a lot of things will be blooming for me.

(I also pulled Zhu Yuan in Zenless Zone Zero today!)

Spoiler: Zhu Yuan pull

 

[.: Meri :.]

☾ I’m finished with volume 15 of Kimi ni Todoke!

☾ Got to watch a lot of Youtube with my family! We finally finished watching Grian’s most recent Hermitcraft episode, and later on my mom and I caught up with more of Markiplier’s recent stuff, LDShadowLady and JoeyGraceffa’s Chunklock finale, and a few other things we’d been wanting to watch!

☾ I didn’t want to get my hopes up too much in case it didn’t work out, but I actually met all the qualifications of a recent promo campaign and got a really nice amount of online store credit very much a win-win for me too! I’m treating myself to something I’ve been wanting for a little while but would normally consider too frivolous to go for!! also still expecting the last part of my order from the last time I got store credit soon, so the mail coming by is an exciting time for me right now lol

☾ also just feeling happy about random inconsequential video game dialogues bc I’m in one of those moods

It's been a busy week so far, but there are several things that made me happy. Most of them are animal related.

I've seen Ruby, the bat, a few more times. Unfortunately, she still flies away every time.

One of the bunnies ran across the yard right in front of my dog and I the other night. I think it might have been Piffany.

The geese were passing through and hanging out in front of my office again.

In the parking lot, I saw two dragonflies hovering over my car being...intimate. (Why is there no dragonfly emoji!)

I went to the pet store to pick up some dog chews today and saw some of the cutest kittens up for adoption. One was very loving and kept rubbing up against the glass trying to be pet. Two siblings were play fighting with each other. They were all adorable!

At the pet store, I also saw a baby ball python that was very curious. It seemed quite interested in me and approached the glass to check me out while flicking its tongue. So cute!

I've made more progress on my upcoming event. Everything should be ready in plenty of time.

Wed 24/07/24

Had my first session with my personal trainer. Got a long way to go to get to where I want to be, but it was a great first day and despite my knees feeling wobbly on the stairs after I actually felt really good about how it went.

My boss showed up unexpectedly (he works at a different site) while our IT guy also happened to be in my office to borrow my label maker. The three of us ended having a long chat and related on how disruptive the construction work is to our roles. Honestly it was validating to hear I'm not the only one who has been struggling with this the past month.

Went home, ate tacos, and had a long relaxing bath. Followed by a lovely evening in with my partner.
