Me and my partner went to the aquarium for my birthday. We got to see the sea lions and otters be fed some fish. I also saw the tiny little monkeys and a sloth. I got an otter keychain and a sloth keychain but I'm probs gonna give one to my mom. They had so many cups in the gift shop but I stopped myself from getting any cause they were expensive af
What Are You Happy About Today?

- Start date

you make me wanna make you fall in love ♡
- Got my Love Potion ;w; I love the message I wanted on it too. My bf and I have always said we'd find one another in our next lives. I just think it's.. bittersweet yet so comforting. Thanks again, @Kirbyz ! I really appreciate the trade
- I've been playing Genshin for about 10 hours on and off today xD I need Nahida. I know the grinding will really pay off after I get her. It'll be worth it, in my opinion! I'm so used to having to spend, but without a job I am forced to grind xD
- My dad and I went to the store today! I picked up some more coffee creamer. And he let me get a Monster Energy ^_^ Yippee!!!
- Talked a lot with @Dunquixote yesterday. I enjoy her company and our chats ;w; <3 She can be so funny!!! She always cheers me up when I'm feeling down.
- I had some hot dogs for dinner :3 Added cheese sauce and chili. And some onions. Boy, was it tasty!
I also had some soda to go with it :3 - I've been sleeping earlier recently. It's been nice to go to sleep early, then wake up early! I never realized how groggy and irritable I feel if I stay up too late. ^_^ Here's to a healthier sleeping schedule!
- I'm just glad I have friends who always have my back. I'm very lucky to have the ones I do, especially considering with how often I've been melting down as of late.. It's nice to have people who genuinely care and notice when something is wrong.
- I've been listening to music all day today ! Specifically just one song over and over and over again xD I love Sunflower, Vol. 6 by Harry Styles wayyyy too much xD
- I'm also happy because I won a Pink Candy from CiTB! >< I LOVE the color pink, so I'm just.. super excited to have one in my possession now! I can't wait to make a cute lineup with it c:
- Been fangirling over Wriothesley from Genshin a ton lately.. lol. He's just sooo handsome * ^ *
I've had a lazy Saturday. It was much needed after the past couple of weeks.
Had a lie-in and spent some quality time with my partner before she left for her vacation.
Played Palworld and started watching season 35 of The Simpsons.
Spent 7hrs straight cuddled up on the couch with my kittens. I accidentally took a 2hr nap with them too.
Cooked a beef stir-fry for dinner using rump steak. Now enjoying a glass of wine.

I've had a great day today! Slept in and then woke up and got to talk more with that one friend of mine. Really appreciate them. Talked with another friend for a bit as well. Then I finished knocking out the events in Honkai: Star Rail, so now the only gacha I have events to catch up in is Wuthering Waves. Excited for Karma's Super Mario Party Jamboree session as well. I also ordered some food from my favorite fast food place using a coupon, and am looking forward to some tasty eats and the rest of my day. 
☾ I finally got around to calling my local police barracks about being fingerprinted. I wanted to confirm the time frame in which I could have this done. The cop was sort of nosy and pressing me on the reason I needed fingerprints. I was pretty straightforward about it as I didn't have a response planned out, nor was I expecting to be questioned about it. Seems like a name change is a valid reason. Once this is finished, I have to request the name change forms from the department of court records. I still think having to pay an arm and a leg for a legal name change is ridiculous, but I understand the reasoning behind it. If it were so easy, everyone would do this to commit fraud.
☾ I found the most amazing thing at Target this morning. It's a shame they melted on the way back. I had to eat them with a spoon in their respective containers after losing their shape, lmao. Still, they froze back to ice cream after being in the freezer so it wasn't all lost.

I’m happy today because I got caught up in my island journal. Today was more chill than yesterday was. I’m hoping to unlock the campsite soon 
.
I’m still feeling burnt out and tired but last night I signed up for the secret santa!
I’m really excited about this. I hope I’ll do okay.
I’m having a nice chat with some friends
. I’m really grateful for their patience and honesty.
@Xara earlier shared an adorable picture of Bonk, beautiful kitty with me.
That’s it for now. I might play some more Persona and some ac too!

☾ It was a long day spent mostly out of town, BUT two of my grandparents’ neighbor’s tiny fluffy white dogs got out, and I got to help get them back home ;w; One was pretty skittish and wouldn’t get too close to us, but the other was super sweet and friendly and kept bouncing all over me and trying to lick me in the face 
actually let me carry her home, absolutely precious ughhh
☾ Also got a really pretty sketchbook with a floral cover as an early birthday present from my grandmother!
☾ We watched a little Youtube after we got home, and saw LDShadowLady’s new Wild Life episode!! I love the immortal snails so much omg, it was so funny and their designs were so cute?? they caused so much destruction though oml

I got a lot done at work and a fair bit closer to a new friend!
Glad you were there to help the puppies get home before they got hurt!☾ It was a long day spent mostly out of town, BUT two of my grandparents’ neighbor’s tiny fluffy white dogs got out, and I got to help get them back home ;w; One was pretty skittish and wouldn’t get too close to us, but the other was super sweet and friendly and kept bouncing all over me and trying to lick me in the face
I picked up my new gun today. I bought a "special edition" but wanted a regular model like my bf had bought. So I got the fancier one and traded him.
Also gave him his birthday gift five days early! He mentioned wanting a speaker so he picked out one he liked. I'm glad I told him what I was getting him because I almost bought one without telling him and it was a different one.

I got a new car yesterday! It's a 2025 model, it's such a pretty car honestly. I was aiming to get a 2024 model of this car but they no longer had that line of the car in stock and trying to find it at another dealership would have really stressed me out. I got the middle line of the car compared to the lower based model. I'm in love with it so far and the last car I owned was from 1999 so this is such a huge and exciting change for me. I just have to get my insurance situation figured out since they currently are unable to find cars in their system from the year 2025 soo that's a bit of a hassle but it will get fixed on its own! Also I have amazing credit so I got the best APR for my loan and that is such a relief for me.
I am also making myself a yummy breakfast this morning. I did not eat a lot yesterday because I was really worried about being able to qualify for a good car loan.

I stocked up on lots of warm drinks for the fall/winter:
Green tea (6 boxes)
Decaf coffee (3 bags of grounds plus 2 jars of instant)
Peppermint tea (3 boxes)
Ginger Snappish tea (1 box)
Peppermint Bark minty chocolate tea (1 box)
Cranberry harvest tea (1 box)
Salted caramel tea (1 box)
Hot cinnamon tea (1 box)
Pumpkin spice tea (1 box)
It's a lot but it's gonna last me well into the spring

☾ We watched an episode of Hunter x Hunter and finished season two of Haikyu this morning!! My parents and I have also started watching Demon Slayer! We’ve just seen the first few episodes now but I’m already feeling pretty invested in it.
☾ Took it pretty easy today and just worked on some personal creative stuff, and I’m happy with what I got done!
☾ One of my faves got some new official artwork aaaa ;v;
☾ And I got to see GeminiTay’s newest Wild Life episode this evening, along with a few other short videos!

Today I had a nice chat with some friends .
I got some snuggles from Spanky earlier.
I didn’t unlock the campsite today on my second island but I’m honestly kinda happy with that and about having another chill day in the game. Tomorrow the resident services will be under construction; I’m happy that I’m getting closer to being done with the tutorial.
I’ve been having a lot of fun playing Persona 5 Royal again; I was happy that I meet Maruki in the game. I had some good laughs lol.
I caught Spanky sleeping on a clean dish towel on top of a blanket in the basement. She was so cute

.Today was pretty great! I got to talk more with that one friend of mine and we had a good chat. Always enjoy talking to them. I talked with another friend for a bit as well. I also caught a shiny Gastly in my Pokemon game and had a yummy dinner as well. Last, but certainly not least, the Dallas Mavericks got back on the right track and defeated the Orlando Magic 108-85 in Dallas. Now I'm about to head to sleep early for my big work day tomorrow.
I've been busy the last couple of days, but still had a lot to be happy about. I absolutely loved the Halloween event this year and I'm thrilled that I had so much time to focus on it. I've been wanting to host a writing event forever, but this was the first time I felt like I could commit to reading everyone's stories. It was definitely a bonus that they were spooky stories. I set aside time to read them every night when I was the only one awake for maximum effect. I had a really hard time narrowing it down for staff favorites because there were so many great ones. 
I've passed the two week mark since my procedure and, just as the doctor promised, it's been a major turning point. I feel much more comfortable. I'm off all pain meds, including Tylenol. I'm walking up and down stairs with only a little bit of support. I'm also back to doing my typical three block walks in the evenings, so I've seen a bunch of my favorite neighborhood animals again. I've been cleared to go back to massage therapy starting this week. There are still plenty of things I can't do, but I'm making progress every day and I'm grateful to my husband for all his support and encouragement while I heal.
My birthday just passed and all the birthday wishes I received here on TBT as well as in real life really made my day. I wasn't able to go out and do anything fun, didn't even feel up to going out for dinner, but receiving those messages from all of you cheered me up when I was feeling a little down.
Daylight Saving Time has ended! I'm not feeling the effects of it as much since I'm not working at the moment, but I know I'll be happy about it when I have to go back to work. Even now, things just feel more "right" to me going back to standard time. It matches my internal clock.
Finally, I got to watch the Minnesota Vikings play and win tonight! I was nervous the whole time. The game was a lot closer than I would have liked right until the end, but they pulled through for the win!

- DST has ended. Good riddance...for now. I have stated before that I prefer fall back over spring forward.
- My dad cooked pigs in a blanket and waffles for breakfast. I didn't eat much of it because I had just woken up (NTM, it was an hour earlier due to the time change) and have been stressed out, which ****s over my appetite, but it was still pretty good. ^.^
- Last night, I finally recorded an episode of a Miitopia LP I am doing on YT and released it earlier tonight. I am also thinking of doing some Papa's games LPs.
- I have been reading some stuff about the link between NF1 and certain mental disorders, and it has helped me to get a better understanding of myself, as I do have NF1 and have been questioning for years now about having (a) mental disorder(s). I am NOT trying to glorify NF1 or mental disorders, but I cannot help but feel relieved and even happy to have a better understanding of why I am the way that I am.
- I am in a giggly mood tonight because these two YouTube videos that I discovered in late 2016 (which I do not think are up anymore ;-; ) have been stick in my head. One of them involves this parents waking their children up with a smoke detector as a fire drill like test and the other (on the same channel) was filming their son apologizing to his sister while funny music plays in the background.

Me and Mustachio are staying warm, it’s cold out today. Feels nice to be warm inside.
I have some new scented wax for my wax warmer. It’s cinnamon vanilla scented and it smells amazing. Definitely feels very autumnal and it’s nice having it going on my bedside table while I read it journal or watch a show, or play a game. Very cozy.
I got my new journal which I’m happy about. I spent some time journaling today and it feels good to be doing it physically again. I have a digital journal too but… it just doesn’t compare to actually writing in a physical journal, it just feels more therapeutic that way. I’m glad to be back to it. And I got my new sketchbook, and I’m super pleased with it it’s very nice quality. I’m gonna do a sketch later today.
I have things to do today but I’m feeling a little unmotivated because of mocha dying last night. So I’m just feeling flat but trying not to be too hard on myself if I’m not super productive today.
I got some ingredients for fall/winter baking. I’m making an egg custard pie and a chess pie for thanksgiving and giving half of each one to my sister.

Been training my pokemon on my heartgold nuzlocke, though I have done training well, and have about six pokemon for the party, the last gym still scares me DX
Last Saturday, I went with my mum to watch the new movie 'The Wild Robot'

I’m feeling much better! I was a little bummed at first again about not getting nominated, but now I’m good. I tried focusing on the positives more that helped a lot; I know it may be obvious to others that focusing on the positives is better than dwelling on the negatives, but that is really difficult. I feel like in just two events, in some ways I’ve improved a lot. I learned a little bit how to use that free art app and how to shade.
I think I’ve improved my acnh decorating too. After the fair, @skarmoury gave me some extremely valuable tips that I kept in mind and I felt like it helped so much. Thanks so much Skar (and also for your feedback just now 
; it made me so happy).
I have such amazing friends. I’m grateful for their honesty since without it, I’d probably keep making the same mistakes and not trying to improve myself. I still could be doing much better with myself but at least in one regard, I feel like I’ve learned something valuable.
