What Are You Happy About Today?

[Autumn247]

The big thing I'm happy about today! I went to a cafe/bakery by myself today, I used google maps to get there and walked there by myself and ate my cannolis and drank my coffee at one of their tables BY MYSELF. That is huge for me, normally I struggle so much with doing things on my own/ or doing new things, due to anxiety

Here's a pic of my beautiful caramel macchiato with cinnamon on top and sicilian chocolate cannolis

I managed to follow a full 30 minutes workout video on youtube !
( Yesterday I overdid it on my leg workout so I was looking specifically for something targeting my upper body. Found this wheelchair fitness coach and darn, just his warm up already left me unable to lift my shoulders lol ! Made sense reading the comments of others, he and other wheelchair users are used to use their upper body to carry themselves around. Really something non-wheelchair users don't think about! )

Yesterday I got to start working on chain attacks at martial arts, which I'm really happy about. I've also started progressing more at my job, which I'm also happy about. The weather outside is also peaceful as well and is starting to feel more like autumn.

• I finally started using little braces on my fingers to prevent them from bending weird ways and hurting as I do everyday tasks. They work so well I cant believe I waited this long to try them out
• I'm really enjoying the class I'm taking
• I figured out a way to transfer my Skyrim mods from my old pc which is great because I wouldn't even know how to go about hunting them all down again

It's dreary and raining outside.

I genuinely missed this weather. It's been three weeks without rain. That's three weeks way too long.

I think rain is beautiful.

I went downhill super fast today and am miserably sick right now, but on the bright side my mom has rapidly improved today, and this might be some 48hr bug that's been going around my dad's school lately?? cross your fingers for me that I'll be feeling better come Friday because I'm not allowed to take most cold medicines on my current medication, so being sick is extra not fun anyway!

☾ I was able to finish decorating the inside covers of my next sketchbook before I started feeling too bad! Also used up all but a handful of my sticker collection in the process!

☾ Watched a little bit of Youtube today, and got to see GoodTimesWithScar’s latest episode of Hermitcraft with my parents this evening!

Today wasn’t good at all but I’m happy that I found a costume to put my kitties in when I went grocery shopping . Also found some cute toys for them; I know they won’t play with them but I thought they’d be great for the pictures I take of them .

Spoiler

Grumpy Nook Cat Burger . The little brown thing by her paw is a toy burger too .

I got my wallpaper, flooring and rugs orderable catalogue done (just waiting for some of my items in the mail; don’t feel like tting again).

I maxed my friendship with Julia today . That’s it for now.

Today was a good productive day off . Me and Aurora had a nice morning walk. I got the yard work done this morning. Got a lot of laundry and cleaning done this afternoon. Was so happy to see all the art from canvas crossing. Everyone did an amazing job with their art. I want to thank @Mutti , @-Blue- , @JellyLu and @Xara for the amazing drawing of my rep. I appreciate those drawings so much and they were all so amazing. I had so much fun drawing and happy that my drawings were liked. Had a nice evening spending time with Aurora and playing ACNH.
Hope everyone had a great day.

I haven't made a full fledged happy post in a while so I have a few things I'd like to share

★ I'm still so happy that I finally won another animated collectible!! not counting the fireworks, the Galaxy Cupcake is the first animated collectible I've won since I won the Tetris Grid during the 2017 fair. coincidentally, I got a staff favourite for colouring challenges during both of those fairs! and of course I'm still over the moon about how I got the closest guess for CitB once again but yeah, the cupcake is so sparkly and colorful and I adore it, I'm so honoured to have received another animated collectible after so long! ️

★ today is usually my day off, but I'm going to sub at a different library branch to make up for lost hours. I'm actually kind of relieved because my days off tend to be difficult, I don't like being at home all day. I'm going to a branch I've never been to before as well, so that'll be interesting!

★ speaking of libraries, I recently began the process of filling out a college application! I've finally made the decision to get my Master's in Library and Information Science (MLIS)! I have to write a short essay before I can submit my application, but that's not a big deal. and I've already had a meeting with someone in the department of information to get my foot in the door. I'm hoping to apply for as many scholarships as I possibly can to minimize the amount of debt I'll have afterward. but I'm so excited to see how it goes and see what the future will hold for me as a youth librarian!

★ I've been cooking for myself a lot more lately, trying to make things fresh from scratch. I recently bought a crock pot and I absolutely looove it! now I've spoiled myself and I can't really eat frozen things anymore hehe. but that's okay, I want to eat healthy and feel better about myself, not only physically and mentally but in terms of my pride too.

★ my relationship is still going very well, and we've been together for sixteen months now! I love my sun bun so very much.

★ nothing is set in stone yet, but I may have a time frame when I'll be taking a trip to Ontario again and I'm so excited!! I miss being there honestly, it's a breath of fresh air and I have so many lovely friends there too.

★ my mental health has been stagnating a bit and I still struggle a lot, but I'm taking things one day at a time and remembering to count my blessings. I always need to remember to be gentle with myself and keep working toward becoming a better Bug with each passing day.

About yesterday but, work was relaxing for once and I got a ton of extra stuff done. Really hoping for more days like this.

 

[mogyay]

i went into the office two days in a row which is a huge achievement for me lol, it's draining but i feel like my mental health improves a lot by being in and surrounded by people (all of whom i rly like which is a nice change)

alsooooo a few weeks ago my dad told us he's taking us all to japan next year (in october) - i feel like i can get through any hardships knowing that's in the future now lol, idk if it's weird to go on a family holiday when you're in your 30s already but idc i'm thrilled lol

Today was super great! I got up and was productive at work, and was able to get out early. Played video games for awhile and finished Kinich's story quest in Genshin Impact. Then I went to martial arts and found out that I'll be testing for my next belt rank in a month! Once I accomplish that I'll be one belt rank away from having earned a black belt in both Karate and Aikido!

♡ Got my DearMyLove dress in the mail today! Well. I had to go pick it up from the post office. It fits nicely, but.. it's a little tight ;; And, I'm too tall for it to fit length wise. It's whatever though; I can just wear stockings and a petticoat underneath! I'll have to post better pictures later, but this is all I have for now. I started getting sweaty in it, so I took it off

Spoiler: Pictures of Said Dress

♡ Got my Miffy Woobles kit today, too! ^_^ I can't wait to start making her!

♡ Got a coffee at this new local joint c: I also got a yuuuummy breakfast sammy! It had avocado spread, sausage, cheese, a fried egg, and some sort of sauce, all on a Brioche bun. It was SO GOOD!!! I also got coffee again later today xD

♡ Been going on walks almost daily. I walked 2-3 miles in the past 3 days! I'm really proud of myself. Hopefully this motivates me more to live a more healthy lifestyle ;w; Even though I have POTS, I read light exercise can help lessen the severity of the symptoms. Here's to a healthier Mimi! ^w^

♡ Cleaned the house today, since it IS my weekly chore. My dad helped me out a bit, so that made me really happy. ;w;

♡ HAD WEDDING SOUP FOR DINNER! IT WAS BUSSIN!!!!!!!! I looove wedding soup so much Probably my FAVORITE soup ever! Especially when it's homemade, and still hot!!

My second caterpillar made his chrysalis! Based on the chrysalis, it looks like it's going to be another male. Don't worry, I'm moving him safely to a butterfly mesh enclosure once the outside hardens completely

I also got a pretty good picture of the harvest moon

Spoiler: Danger noodle

Also found a baby Banded Water Snake in my yard recently. Not a danger noodle at all I safely relocated my new friend to the nearby creek.

I got back from my holiday 2 days ago! Overall had a great time visiting Singapore and Malaysia, did some sort of crazy things and pretty sure I made myself ill for the plane ride home by exhausting myself too much (worst plane ride of my life ugh, I felt like I was gonna throw up the entire time and couldn't sleep, I legit just lay there in pain for 14 hours), to the point where I had to call in sick to work today (it's ok, its only a 4 hr shift) because I still feel under the weather, but it was still great

- I'm happy that I'm unpacked now and cleaned the house

- Happy I have tomorrow off work, I really feel like I'll need these 2 days to recover

- The weather has somehow been beautiful in the UK since I got back, sunny and the perfect temp at 19c. You never know how much you miss a temperate climate until you go to a tropical climate where it's 30c everyday

It's been a while since I've posted in here, and I haven't had as much time to follow this thread lately. I wanted to make some time today to read through some posts in here, and to make sure I remember the good things happening, and the things I'm grateful for!

❀ I'm grateful I got to catch up on some of the posts in this thread and see what you are all happy about! I hope you're all doing well.

❀ I really enjoyed participating in the 2024 TBT Fair! I'm very grateful to @Dunquixote, @azurill, and @Xara for drawing my rep for Canvas Crossing (I love all of the pictures so much). I'm also grateful for the Staff Favourites, the nomination, and just generally for the fun event and the hard work of the staff! I also loved looking through all twenty pages of Canvas Crossing drawings! They are just so fun and cute. Everyone is so creative!

❀ Even though sometimes it can feel like there is too much going on, I'm very grateful for the work opportunities I have at the moment.

❀ I got my teeth cleaned today, and also got a blueberry smoothie!

❀ I started working on a crochet project as a gift for someone. It's turning out larger than I anticipated, but I think it's cute so far!

❀ I've been able to play games with my best friend for the last few weekends, which I'm super happy about. I'm also just generally grateful for all their care and support. To have their kind words, encouragement, and care when I'm finding things difficult means everything to me.

I hope you're all having a wonderful week so far, and hope the rest of the week goes well for you all.

I'm just happy today that I got a new portable drawing tablet for traveling, especially when I won't be at home to access the computer with a huge drawing tablet connected to it this Christmas.

I've been a big fan of a somewhat obscure Norwegian post-punk band for a few years now but have been unable to find any wearable merch for them anytime I've looked around. I finally decided to reach out via the Contact link on their website, and although I wasn't necessarily expecting a reply, imagine my surprise when the singer personally emailed back with multiple photos of t-shirts and other cool stuff. I of course went all in and got one of everything, and I love the band even more after how friendly and kind this dude was in all of our correspondences.

Can't wait to rock my new shirts.

My new driving instructor is really nice! He really taught me a lot and I feel confident about getting my license now.
