What Are You Happy About Today?

- I saw a wild bunny in my parents backyard. I haven't seen a wild rabbit in my parents area since I was a little kid so I was happy to see the little guy make an appearance

- I bought a pumpkin for the decorating contest. Hopefully I actually get around to it in time. I've been feeling a little burnt out from events but I really want the crow plush so imma just participate in like half the events lol
 
Today the kids that play in my yard knocked over my trash can. At first I was angry, and cursed at them.

Afterwards, I felt bad. I decided to go out and apologize for being angry to the kids. They apologized back and said it was an accident. They even apologized for hitting my bird feeder the other day. I also apologized to their dad who saw me yelling. We ended up playing Roblox and soccer together. They even helped me beat a boss in the game and showed me their pet bunny. I found out what Halloween candy they like too so my house will be stocked with good stuff come trick or treating.

So what started as hostility turned into new friendships. Now I'm the "cool" adult neighbor instead of a "karen." :) Kindness and communication are key.
 
☾ My parents and I watched an episode of Haikyu this morning, and we got to see GeminiTay’s first Wild Life episode over dinner this evening!

☾ I’ve done as much as I want to do for now with clearing flowers and laying down custom patterns to stop them from spreading on my ACNH island! I managed to cover the flowers across my entire island, except for the area where I’m still trying to grow more ofc, but when I’m done with that it shouldn’t take me very long to tidy up at all! ( ･ ∀ ･)b

☾ I’ve moved onto resetting Redd for the last few art pieces I’m missing, and was able to find one of the remaining four before I had to pack it up for the evening!! ;v; Just three more to go now! Also I’m normally a New Horizons hourly music hater, but while resetting I got to hear 5am for the first time and?? it’s actually so pretty WHY would they use it for an in-game hour where nothing is open and almost all your villagers are sleeping… it's definitely going to be the time I set my dream address at!!
 
I'm just glad that the weekend is over and the LA Dodgers are advancing to the World Series!! They're not my team, but they were the team I picked to win the World Series this year (using my state-of-the-art Baseball Intuition™️), and it looks like that may actually come true! 😭

My martial arts testing is also six days away now and I'm excited as heck for it. 😎
 
☾ I ran an errand today and had some Taco Bell for lunch, which was conveniently located next to where I had to go.
☾ The Kings won their game tonight which puts them at (3-1-2) on the season. It's nothing impressive, but it's a decent start.
☾ The Dodgers are in the World Series once again. I'm somewhat confident they can pull it off this year.
☾ I'm happy about my vacation coming up in just over two weeks. I'll be spending a whole week in Disney World.
 
I had an extremely productive day at work. It was stressful, especially first thing this morning, but I got through it and have set myself up well for the rest of the weeks tasks. 💪

I spoke to the vet and managed to get a month of free insurance (with the provider I actually intended to insure them with) for each of my kittens. I'm so happy to have that peace of mind. We'll absolutely be extending the policy. 🐈‍⬛️

On that note, I was super anxious about leaving them at home all day for the first time. But I came home to find two excited balls of fluff who were very happy to see me. 🥰

My journey home was a nightmare so I stopped at McDonalds for a stress cheeseburger. When I asked my partner to talk me out of it she responded with, "get me stress fries 😛". Sometimes you just need junk food. 🍟

Home, glass of wine, and I've an evening of The Handmaid's Tale season 4 and cat cuddles ahead of me. I'm very happy to have a chill night in with my favourite girl and our furry sons. 🖤
 
I’m struggling still but there are some small things that I’m happy about:

I’m making good progress on my entry for unreal estate. I found a spot to decorate and I think I’m happy with it so far; not sure about the path since I have no room for qr code paths and had to make do with the game paths. Also am unsure about something else I added. I’m having a lot more fun than I thought I would have with the exterior; I’m trying my best to not experiment too much, thinking about some suggestions that a friend gave me about decorating for events 🙂

My switch lite got shipped! I’m hoping it comes soon. Tomorrow we’re going to the repair shop unless there is a change of plans (I’m not happy about this but I need to get my old switch lite checked).

I got some snuggles from my kittens today ☺️; their gotcha day is coming up soon! I keep forgetting to look to see what to get them, so they may be getting their goodies late.
 
My new switch lite just got delivered :D🥳. I’m so happy. I need to finish up on my unreal estate first, but I might start playing tonight when I take a break 👀. I got one room done and am working on an exterior; after that, not sure if I’ll do another area outside or inside.
 
☾ I finally completed my Museum in ACNH!!! 😭 I thankfully didn’t have to spend too much longer resetting Redd to get the last few art pieces I need, so that’s one of my last goals for my island complete!!

☾ My parents and I watched Grian’s first Wild Life episode this evening!
 
My dad and I had a good talk about various things. One of them pertaining to future plans and what not. I also told him about my mom wanting me to spend the night at hers when she gets a good place in the future, and thankfully my dad was understanding about my brother and I possibly having to stay there separately if need be. ^.^

Oh, my dad was teasing the hell out of me again. He keeps comparing the size of my brain to different animals - including dogs, snakes, and army ants. He claims my grandparents’ dog is smarter than me/has a bigger brain than me. Like hell! 😭😂

He quizzes me about the difference types of atoms, since he claims my brain at the size of one and even calls me “atom”. Of course, he acts surprised that I knew: protons, electrons, and neutrons. I’m smarter than bro thinks. 😂😂😂
 
MY AIO CAME IN AND I INSTALLED IT RAHHHH

Don't judge my cable management too hard, I know it's bad but I'm just happy I had enough spoons to put the damn thing in. This is my first time doing one and I'm pleased. Lots of stupid hiccups like mounting it backwards and forgetting the screw risers. But it's on and it works!

It even has an LCD to display whatever images you want. Even animated ones. I love it. I'm very very pleased.

My recovery has been going very well. I'm gradually regaining energy and I'm in a lot less pain than I expected. I'm being cautious and not pushing myself, though.

My back pain has been pretty terrible, which I expected as a side effect. Unfortunately, the treatment for my back pain (exercise, stretching, regular adjustments) is the exact opposite of what I should be doing right now while I heal. However, last night I decided to sleep without the belly binder for the first time and my back pain has been very manageable today. Maybe that was agitating things all along? I'll try to do without it again tonight and see how it goes. The doctor said it wasn't necessary.

I called my mom today and had a really nice conversation with her. We talked about a lot of stuff and it was great to just chat without any urgency or agenda.

I've started playing Endless Ocean: Luminous. I bought the game before my procedure because it seemed like a relaxing way to spend my recovery time. It's exactly what I was hoping for! There's not a lot to the game, but being able to dive with a huge variety of sea life, identifying and learning about each new species that I catalog, has been the perfect distraction for me.
 
  • I went to that local Italian cafe/pastry shop I like and got a caramel macchiato, pictured below. Also had some money leftover on my gift card after that so I let them round up my total and donate the rest to St. Jude. :coffee:
  • I slept really good. I can't stress enough how important good sleep is for my mental health, especially with having bipolar.
  • I started the vitamin D my doctor prescribed yesterday. My levels were at a 9 when I was tested which is REALLY low so he's hoping in 3 months when we test again I'll be at atleast at a 14 and then go from there.
  • Mustachio woke me up today, all sweet. She was purring and biting my nows and gently tapping my face lol
  • Gonna practice violin today
  • Getting on the treadmill later. Been doing good with exercising. I've exercised the past 4 days in a row. Pretty proud of myself because I have a really hard time making new habits stick.
  • Enjoying some music right now
  • I'm enjoying playing the first Life is Strange game :)

I finally got dates scheduled to drive with an instructor. Straight through the holiday season of December.

I had to transfer schools due to the first one being an unorganized mess. (Teacher finished the classroom part then stopped answering his emails).

Which is great because hopefully I can qualify to test for my drivers license by January. I'm very eager.
