What Are You Happy About Today?

[Shawna]

- 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'

 

[Dunquixote]

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.

I got some snuggles from Spanky earlier .

 

[.: Meri :.]

☾ I played through the Fashion Dreamer Future Fair re-run event today! The 5000 Creative Keys for the game’s anniversary was really nice too, and because I haven’t missed any events, I think this means I’ll have enough keys for everything when I get all the NPCs maxed out??

☾ I won a few staff favorites from the Haunted Carnival!! ;w; I wasn’t expecting anything and I’ve Still got a Lot going on IRL, so checking in to find out I can finally get an Ancient Lantern was a much-needed pick-me-up aaaaa

☾ Also won an art raffle offsite!! v v hyped about that

☾ My parents and I watched Grian’s latest Wild Life episode and it was absolutely killing me omg. The shot of Grian’s snail slowly approaching in the dark mineshaft… the snail jumpscare… beautiful stuff

Despite a slow start to the day and it raining all day, I had a pretty good day. Stayed inside and finished my entire hot coffee this morning and then was productive at work. Talked with my favorite friend for awhile and heard from someone else as well. I also went to martial arts practice and had fun with that, despite it just being my sensei and me tonight. Gave my kitty her wet food per usual, and later on she rubbed against me when I got back home. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow as well.

 

[LadyDestani]

Today was another great day! I did a few very minor household chores for the first time in weeks. Not that I like doing chores, but everything I do right now feels like such an accomplishment. I also walked 3 blocks and met up with quite a few of the neighborhood dogs. I finally learned the name of one that I've seen for a while now. His name is Odin.

I have plans for next weekend with some friends. We're meeting up to finish our Dungeon Crawl campaign and we'll also be doing one of the trivia games my husband and I put together. It should be a lot of fun.

- Happy I have 2 days off work now

- Bought my first Christmas present of the year for my mum yesterday! Hopefully I'll be getting everything early this year

- My mum also came to pick me up from work last night and kindly bought me a mini mint chocolate cheesecake I've been wanting to try

- My team won the Halloween event in one of my games, so I'm very happy about that

 

[Captain Jigglypuff]

Happy that the bombardment of political ads literally everywhere will finally stop for the next couple of years.

 

[Autumn247]

I went to my polling place and voted. I did my part, was quick and easy. In and out in under 10 minutes. Now to hope for the best.

 

[Captain Jigglypuff]

I was in and out of voting in five minutes. I guess my new voting location is smaller than the others I’ve had and there were only two other voters there when I went. Still the polling location is rather close to my house and I instantly knew where it was when I looked up where I was supposed to go to vote.

 

[SkyKnight03]

I got this Wailmer at a gamestop in a mall the other day.

Here it is next to my Emolga.

 

[Tude]

I installed tile flooring in my room last night so today I'm glad it's finally done and my back isn't hurting.

 

[Zerous]

I unfortunately haven't been keeping up with or posting here for a while aaa but quick post for the night!!
- I did my last exam of my undergrad today- I'm officially done I'm gonna apply for honours but still, four year degree complete.
- Went out with someone from uni for sushi afterwards, and my dad who I saw after bought me a smoothie!
- Played some video games and although not complete, it was nice to relax for the first time in ages not really feeling guilty for it?
- Made meatballs for dinner, and had hot cocoa, then played some switch with my family, then finished my night by calling my partner
- Also saw my story won a staff favourite?? I was so happy, I was kinda proud of it, and it was my favourite entry out of all of mine. I was also happy in general I managed to participate despite uni being very busy. Grateful to the staff for all the effort they put in : D

It was just a really nice day

 

[Tude]

Congrats on your degree!

My family drove me to Montreal to buy band shirts, since I've been wanting new ones for a long time. I got three Metallica shirts and a Cannibal Corpse shirt. It was a little pricey (almost $200 CAD), but I wasn't planning on using my money for anything else and most of it was official merch. I'm so happy with my new shirts, and I'm planning on going back sometime soon to pick up one of the Megadeth shirts.

I bought a couple of other things for myself (a new sketchbook and some candy) and we got to visit my older brother. We went to eat dinner at a pizza place and I got some poutine. Oh, and I got a new phone, which I'm grateful for since my old phone sucked. Overall, today has been one of the few good days I've had!

 

[Dunquixote]

Today was a pretty good day, though I’ve been a bit crabby today .

I had a nice chat with @Yanrima~; I really appreciated her patience with me too!

I played my second island today and got the campsite built. I can’t wait to go island hopping again . I got another entry done in my journal. I’m still really happy about how my journal is coming a long.

I restarted Persona 5 again; I’m annoyed at myself because I was done with the second palace but at the same time I feel better because I want my first save playthrough be a certain way even if that means I don’t get all the traits maxed or confidants or whatever.

Spanky greeted me by chattering her teeth when I found her in the basement earlier on a clean dish towel.

Both my girls have been using their cat beds too . It’s weird how Jewels will stop using her purple bed for awhile and then starts using it again. Jewels has been preferring Spanky’s small pineapple bed .

What happened on Halloween:
- Played AC: New Horizons and enjoyed the Halloween event. Also, it was so cute and funny how Megan wore a bear costume. Lol, she's already a bear.

Spoiler: Megan's funny costume 🐻

What happened on 11/2/24:
- Went on an island tour using a Dream Address I found on a YT video. I loved the interior decor for the villager houses, and it definitely gave me a lot of inspo.

What happened today:
- I ate some breakfast from a cafe.
- Worked on a portrait drawing and added some charcoal powder with a paintbrush to darken some areas. It was also very easy to erase any mistakes I made.
- Had some kabob with rice for dinner that I shared with my mom.
- Read a book and the plot is getting exciting.

 

[hakutaku]

- Ate the mint chocolate cheesecake I got yesterday, it was super good. Now I feel like I have to try all of them before I leave my job next year and lose the employee discount (planning to go travelling once I save up my goal amount of money)

- Managed to sleep pretty well for once last night. I've been having trouble sleeping recently for some reason

 

[Yanrima~]

I'm basically happy that I got a staff favorite on "Creature Feature". Also, I'm happy that I finally have someone to talk to especially @Dunquixote . Hope I can try to talk to others here sometime.
