What Are You Happy About Today?


Should also mention I'm happy today because I was super productive at work. I ended up finishing a task within an hour or two, to which my coworker was wondering what I put in my coffee this morning. :LOL:

I also had leg day at the gym and absolutely killed it, and finished organizing my room again. Also trying out a new med change to help with my mood. Man, today's really been my day, huh. :blush: 💜
 
I’m feeling much better now that I’m home 🙂. Spanky greeted me at the door and also greeted me when I came from downstairs when I went and got myself a drink ☺️. I love when my girls follow me 🥰.

Even though I didn’t like leaving the house, once I was at my sister’s place I was fine (aside from my dad and his behavior bothering me). It was nice seeing my youngest niece having a good birthday 🙂.

My mom let me order another lego set today, one that we’ll be picking up tomorrow 🙂. I’m excited about both of the sets since they both come with a favorite villager of mine :D. I’ll be doing my second prompt for the party prepping station then too (hopefully) since my sister didn’t have any birthday decorations on the ceiling or wall.

I chatted a little with @mocha and got to see a picture of her adorable kitty ☺️; I’m really happy he’s doing much better :D.

I’m really happy because how kind and understanding everyone has been about my anxiety and overexcitement lately. My anxiety annoys me so much and it has annoyed everyone I used to hang out with, so it really means a lot to know people are understanding and aren’t annoyed by it or me.

I vented to my mom in the car with her about my dad and I feel better now. My dad actually wasn’t as bad as I expected him to be, but that isn’t saying much since his behavior was still bad.

In spite being super stressed by the event, I’m still having a lot of fun and am really enjoying seeing everyone’s entries. I really love all of the entries that I’ve seen so far. I need to catch up with the threads when I get more time 🙂.

I hope everyone is doing good today :D
 
I submitted my guess for the current round of Party Popping Puzzles!! really hoping I got it right, but if not, at least I know how to do picross puzzles now ;v; this was a pretty big one to start with, but I think I’d probably enjoy doing 10x10s or 15x15s!

The Fair is really helping me get some party prepping done in advance ahaha—had two sets of party garlands arrive today!! I used the silly cat one as my entry for the second round of Party Prepping Station, and we’ll be using it as decor for my aunt’s birthday later this year (shh don’t tell), but I also picked out some really pretty vintage floral bunting for my own birthday too hehe 🤭

Was feeling kinda stressed out about some stuff IRL, but I talked to my mom about it and we’ve started making plans, and I’m feeling a lot better now ;w;

My parents and I watched a little Youtube this evening!

I did my entry for Brick Building Bonanza!! It was a bit of a struggle since I’m bad at Lego + new program learning curve but I was finally able to come up with something that I think looks decent enough!

I won a really cute character in a raffle on Toyhouse eeeeeee 😭 I get to come up with their color palette too, so I’m excited to work on that!! ...maybe after I finish some of the other personal art WIPs I have sitting around though. also still need to plan out my Magnificent Memories entry.
 
today was national gf day! i know not every couple may celebrate it but my bf and i did and he spoiled me so much 🥹 we hung out today and he surprised me with flowers and a clefairy plushie + a bts dynamite lego set that i had been eyeing forever 😭🫶🏻 he also bought me crumbl cookies that were so delicious 😋 afterwards he treated me to sushi, then ice cream!

he really showered me with love and gifts today, and for that i am so grateful. i had been having such a stressful week at work, so many health issues recently and this really was just what i needed 🥺💗 i thanked him for showing me what it really feels like to be loved for who i am, and his response was “thank you for giving me a chance to love you the way you deserve” 😭 brb while i become a sobbing mess
 
I came back from my holiday abroad last Monday. It was very good they had a zoo nearby and we saw a dolphin show and a orca show. I got some souvenirs for my friends and myself

Other good news:

My best friend is giving me more Disney Doorables duplicates which are ones I need

I just bought myself a new IPAD 😁
 
- Did a bunch of online shopping today and basically finished prep for my trip (and future trips). I got a bunch of skincare, a UV protection bucket hat, two new cabin/personal item bags, sun protection sunglasses, and swimwear ☺️ Was a little expensive but I've been wanting to get this stuff for a while now, and figured I was gonna get it all eventually anyway. Ordering some birkenstocks tonight as a graduation present from my mum, and then I'll be officially done

- Enjoying a lovely day off, it's nice and sunny and breezy outside, I did a 20 minute workout, and grocery shopping got done 😎
 
I spent the whole day cleaning my appartment with my bf. I cleaned behind furniture which I had never moved ever since I settled in. It probably sounds gross but depression has been beating my butt for years and cleaning wasn't really on my to-do list ever.

I also just ordered a discovery pack of fragrances from the Replica set of Maison Margiela perfumes. I got out of my comfort zone two days ago and actually went in their store (it's a luxury brand and I never went because I always felt too "poor" to go lol) and tried a few perfumes, one of which I really liked. But I was too embarassed to try all of them to make my mind, so I ordered the pack to try them from the comfort of my own house. Some of the perfumes I'd like to try are not in the pack but that's okay, maybe I'll muster the courage to go back in the store and try them there.
 
I’m happy that I got both of my lego sets today. Now to wait for my dad to have work or go in his room for the night since I know he will say something or make fun of me. I got to be careful around Jewels especially. She has repeatedly tried taking off with a puzzle piece when my mom worked on some puzzles at the table many times and also like to take the pieces apart too 😹

I got another picture of some wall party decorations while I was out today just in case my second prompt for party prepping station doesn’t get accepted.

I’m excited about the confetti activity starting, though I think now I’m stuck at 49 confetti.

Last night Jewels “took care” of a bug for me; I was disgusted too but I really didn’t want to deal with it myself so I was happy she dealt with it. I was busy with my drawing or something at the time 😅

That’s it for now! I might have more to share later 🙂.
 
I was offered a job at my mom's work. They pay insanely well and I was a bit blinded by the money, so I jumped on the offer. I really had no loyalty to jobs for a long time, but it seems like a good environment. I like how hours are given based off work ethic and not seniority because I never have a job long enough to benefit from seniority. This was really a mutual agreement because they are looking for people and I'm actively looking for a job. I have my doubts that it's a suitable job for someone who is Bipolar like myself, but I'm willing to give it a shot. Plus, I've been managing it a lot better more recently. I was doing well in my line of work before the whole 'getting fired unfairly' incident.
I'm really happy that the episode of Disventure Camp that I've been waiting for is releasing in less than two weeks. I've been waiting for this specific episode for a month and I'm glad it's close to premiering. I miss my favorite character and she'll be in it. There are so many things about that episode that I'm looking forward to.

My mom's cat is warming up to me. I'm going to be staying here a while until my dad is able to find a place. I'm not even a cat person, but she's been more comfortable.

I got attacked on ArtFight!! which led to me drastically changing my plans for the day so I could speedrun my revenge with less than 24 hours remaining in this year's event LOL. of course I could've just waited until next year also, but I didn't want to!! I wanted to serve my revenge piping hot!! Thankfully I finished it with plenty of time to spare, and I’m also really happy with how it turned out!! ;w; Hoping I’ll be able to do more next year, but especially considering how busy this July was for my family and me, I think I can call my four attacks a job well done!

It's time to collect confetti!! I’m excited to earn my first balloon ehehehe. Also the new round of Party Prepping Station is out and we’ve got plenty of things that’ll work, so I can try to get a good picture of something tomorrow!

Got to see GeminiTay’s new Hermitcraft episode with my parents this evening!

new quotes from several of my comfort characters, and a few even got new outfits too ;w; y’all I’m thriving right now
 
I’m so happy to not be working this weekend - I can’t believe this will be my normal life from now on! Feels so weird.

My partner and I found a steal of a deal on a dual drawer Ninja Air fryer so we went and picked that up this morning. Full price they’re usually £220 but we got it for £99! Can’t wait to use it tonight for dinner.

I plan on chilling out the rest of the day - going to play FFXIV and read my book ☺️
 
This is for yesterday mostly, but I'm happy because I reached Legendary Proxy Rank in Zenless Zone Zero and obtained Arlecchino's namecard in Genshin Impact. I also got my work done early and my therapy session went really well too. Had the chance to unwind and play some games with friends as well. Now I'm looking forward to chilling for the rest of today and tomorrow. Hoping everyone has a good weekend. :]

- Got through another day of work 🥳 Glad I have the day off tomorrow

- I managed to buy the last bottle of kewpie mayo! We've had it in stock for a week now and I was thinking of buying it since it's super famous in Japan. I noticed we only had one left this morning, and waited the whole day hoping nobody else would get it 😅 Super happy, I'm gonna use it to make Japanese stye egg sandwiches ☺️

- Got a bunch of free strawberries from work, like 3 boxes, because we had a surplus of them. I took them back home and made some strawberry + white chocolate blondies 🍓❤️

- Interview With The Vampire s2 finally came out on BBC iplayer, will probs spend a few days binging it 🧛‍♂️🧛‍♀️🦇
 
Watched an episode of Hunter x Hunter and Delicious in Dungeon with my parents this morning!! We also got to see SmallishBeans’ new Hermitcraft video this evening!

Started planning out my entry for Magnificent Memories!

I got to play Pokémon X a ton today and beat both the Shalour City and Coumarine City Gyms!! Which also means I’m free to fly between towns with Boutiques now (they still won’t let me in the Lumiose City one yet though... grrr...) so hopefully I’ll be out of the default outfit before long ;u;

Earned enough confetti for my first Gradient Heart Balloon!! ;w; Here's hoping I get one of the colors I'm after aaaaa. I think I should be able to hit the cap for this round tomorrow too!
 
Today I’m happy because I got a good amount of my lego sets done today. Tomorrow I’ll finish building the sets and figure out how to arrange them for my entry, if I can use them that is. 🙂 I’m having a lot of fun building them. I was surprised neither of my kitties bothered the legos today. Jewels was more interested in the tote that was on the floor 😅😹.

I caught my chonky girl splooting on the couch 😸😹

I was able to purchase my first balloon :D.

I got some nice trades today in Pokemon home including Pharaoh Trim Furfrou. It’s a shame the trims don’t carry over to any game though. But at least it’ll look good in my living dex 🙂.

I was able to buy a collectible that I wanted for awhile 🙂.

I’m not playing too much of this anymore; just reinstalled it recently and after earning enough orbs, I tried again on one banner I was interested in and got a character that I like 🙂.

Today has been a great day off. Me and Aurora had a nice morning walk. Was productive and got all the yard work done this morning before the rain. Aurora had a play date with my cousins dog Cora and they had so much fun. It was a really nice evening so was able to get Aurora a second walk. We got home just before it started to rain again. Having fun with the event and now have enough confetti to get a balloon. Happy I was able to get the third puzzle after not figuring out the second one.
Hope everyone had a great day.
