What Are You Happy About Today?

Almost done with my coloring page for the first round of Colorful Confetti!! Also submitted my guess for this round of Pin the Tail on the Villager, and I'm feeling really good about it!

My parents and I watched Solidarity’s Build and Seek POV this evening, and my mom and I also got to catch up a little on some of ImpulseSV’s Phasmophobia streams!

I haven't had the energy to check/post in here in a while between the fair an my ear/throat infection (which is finally starting to lessen its hold on me.. slowly.. can kind of hear again 🙏🏻), but today marks 2 years since we brought this goofball home! 🖤

The past 2 years with Bonk have been stressful, frustrating, joyous, scary, entertaining and healing. She is truly unlike any cat I've ever met before. She is the clingiest, silliest, whiniest little baby on the planet, but she is also my entire heart and my dearest friend. I don't think anyone has ever been as excited to see me as she is every single day. She makes me smile and laugh always, and on my hardest days when I feel alone and like giving up, she is my reason to stay. I know someone's in my corner so long as I have her. As annoying and mischievous as she can be, I wouldn't trade her for anything. Every day that she's here and happy, safe and healthy is a gift. I love her so much, and I'm so happy that so many of you love her and love seeing her as well! 🥹🖤
 
I received a short video greeting from Gabby, likely the character I can relate to most from any show. She’s from Disventure Camp, one of my favorite shows. I lowkey was not expecting her to be this sweet?? This might actually make me cry.

I'm Kaden, and just for video context, Ellie is Gabby's girlfriend in the show.


I sent (photos of) my personal identification documents over last night for my newest job. The final step is being fingerprinted and having my badge made. My appointment should be within a few days, and I'll finally be in once the results for my background check come back.

I found the two kitties sleeping! The gray one loves sleeping on this radiator despite having a bed. That can't be comfortable...

This week is ending pretty well!

I got up early this morning and was super productive at work. Finished another task and had a lot of laughs as well (and also helped a few people out). Then I found out that something that was financially stressing me a bit is no longer going to be a burden, which is a relief. Had a delicious lunch consisting of a burger and fries since I hadn't had that in several weeks. Played my daily games and I'm about to play some more Pokemon Red Rescue Team. Really enjoying my playthrough so far with that as well. It's funny because thanks to having Cubone and Pikachu as my main two Pokemon, we basically walled Zapdos and easily beat it. 😂

I also get paid tomorrow, which will be a huge help, and I'm probably going to get a haircut this weekend and go see a movie! Hope everyone had a great day! :blush: 💚

EDIT: I'm also over the MOON because I just used a few extra pulls in Wuthering Waves and ended up winning the 50/50 for Zhezhi!!! 🥳

I went to New York today to see my aunt who I didn’t remember existed until today lmao since she just had a baby. He was so cute! But the reason I’m happy about this isn’t because I got to leave the state, but it’s because I actually got to do something different today. Every other day during summer break it’s pretty much just been sitting at home the entire time, which is why I haven’t posted here in… 2 months, so it’s relieving to do something new for once. I think that when school starts I’ll surprisingly be posting here slightly more.

Also I thought it was hilarious how the first thing I saw there was a homeless guy and then some pigeons. Like two of the most New York things ever lmao. 😂
 
Finally finished the coloring page for the first round of Colorful Confetti!! 😭 This week’s been super busy and we’re still not done lol, so I’m glad that I seem to be keeping afloat on event entries so far! I like all the events currently going on and I’d really like to be able to do them all in time ;w; not to mention I need all the throwback tickets I can get s;jgfklds

Speaking of, I also finished the sketch for my first drawing for Canvas Crossing!! I’d like to do more than the official three entries, just for fun, but uhh... we’ll see if I have the time for any more than that ahaha 😅

My family and I watched ImpulseSV’s Build and Seek episode this evening!
 
It’s been a good day . Early half day at work went well. Was productive and the day went fast . Had a nice afternoon. Aurora got a bath then got some cleaning and laundry done. One more day of work before vacation. Played some Pokemon Violet this evening. Caught two Shiny Riolu’s . Got some more packing done.

PLUS i finally get to witness pearlina being the main idols, yay!
 
- It was a nice sunny day after gloom yesterday!
- Had a relaxing day off, ate breakfast, had a nap, had some food and coffee, then went and visited my brother, his gf, and my niece 😊
- My brother was totally on board for my suggestion that we all go to Mallorca together next summer! So I'll probably be booking that soonish 🌴☀️

  • Finished my Canvas Crossing drawings this morning!
  • Also, finished my story for Besting Blunders. Going to proof read it tomorrow then submit it.
  • I was all this to start my Delectable Delights' entry and discovered my electric whisk had stopped working. Managed to order one and got it delivered tonight. Can't wait to get started!
  • It's confetti time again!
  • It's been a lot cooler yesterday and today.
  • Blossom has been giving me lots of cuddles.
  • Found Kit Kat Hot Chocolate. It was delicious! Also, found a shop selling Caramac bars. I thought they were discontinued, so it was a nice surprise to find them.
 
It took almost all week and then some, but I managed to finish my delectable delights task. It was such a fun learning process in dehydrating food. I thought so much of the stuff I was dehydrating was just going to be a waste, but it all tastes so amazing! It just sucks that it takes like 15-24 hours for one batch and then I eat it all in 15-24 seconds :ROFLMAO:

It was also funny watching some of the stuff shrivel up to nothing. Where'd it go!? I hope you all are having a wonderful start to your weekend!

Yay Skar! Would love to try more Sploon2 with you too if you’d be up for multiplayer with me :3. Also ofc sploon 3 too! I miss playing sploon with you and everyone. ::naurr::

Today:

I’m happy that I got a good amount of my first canvas crossing done; I had to redo it last night early into the coloring since I messed up. Hoping to finish this and do the two other entries. Mood is not good but I’m doing my best to push through it.

I’m happy about the new round of confetti :D. I hope I’ll get enough for another balloon.

That’s it for now. I’m hoping my medicine will kick in more and my mood improves more.
 
I haven't posted here in a long time again. I'll just cover yesterday and today since I'm getting a bit sleepy as I'm typing this post. 😅

  • Feel free to skip this point. Saw a few bunch of interesting cars again as I was going places. First, I saw a Porsche 911 GT3 (996) that's been modified quite a bit, followed by a Mazda RX-7 (FC) moments later! A couple of hours later on my way home, a Chevrolet Corvette C4 convertible was found at an intersection. This next one is a little odd since I've seen it numerous times, but hasn't actually been on my identified cars list for three years running despite that. How it managed to sneak under the radar for so long is beyond me, but the Honda Element (car #246!) I saw at a parking lot can't escape from me this time! 🤣
  • I had a massage on my back and shoulders. It feels so relaxing and soothing that I almost fell asleep lol.
  • I visited @/xSuperMario64x's island so I'd be able to complete the villager birthday party activity. We celebrated Freya's birthday all the way to December 14th lol. Oh, and I saw Tangy while I was walking around the island, so it was a pleasant surprise! 🍊
  • I've made some progress for my magnificent memories entry. Still got a long way to go, though!

  • This day is such a relief for me. Why? Because throughout this week, I had to deal with exams and did well on them. Today wasn't any different as I knocked out the last two exams and a couple of quizzes for good measure, all with good marks. It's not like @/Mr_Keroppi levels of great marks, but still! I was surprised by how good I did. Aside from that one course that's unrelated to my program which doesn't finish until a few weeks later for some reason (thankfully, it's fully online), it's safe to say that I've completed my two year program in college. I know it's something I should be celebrating, but there are some more hurdles to go through even after finishing the program. I won't go into details yet, but let's just say that it's really just the beginning. There's a lot more I can still learn at work beyond college! 🏎️ 🎊

  • As I got home early, I got to relax and play a bit of Gran Turismo 7 hehehe.
  • I cooked spaghetti for dinner. Made me happy on the inside when my mother and sister told me that they liked it. 🥺
  • I've made even more progress in my drawing for magnificent memories! Thank goodness we still got another week before the deadline or I'd be absolutely rushing which I don't want to do. I feel happy with how it's turning out so far despite not having drawn anything since May. 😭
