What Are You Happy About Today?

[Cirice]

I just found out "The most mysterious song on the internet" has been found on the 4th of this month!
Listening to the true version feels surreal, like other people says it's like hearing the ending of the internet / years of search / this adventure.

Small thing that I’m happy about right now:

My copy of Mario Party just arrived today! . I’m playing it against the computer right now and I’m enjoying it so far . I love that Monty Mole still does the belly drum animation; it’s so cute .

It’s weird that it won’t let me use the pro controller for the motion controll mini games though, since I thought we could in super stars?

That’s it for now.

I wasn't expecting much out of today, but today was honestly really great. I was productive at work and was able to get out early. Talked with my best friend for hours on end and I appreciate them so much, I can't put it into words. Then I talked with another friend while playing video games for a bit.

The thing that made my day the most, however, was receiving a signed letter from the actor/martial artist who played Raphael in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles years ago. When I was around 10-12 years old Raphael as a character was one of my greatest inspirations for getting into martial arts in the first place, and to have received this from him all these years later when I'm still practicing martial arts really made me emotional as I wasn't expecting it.

I stepped outside after this for a bit and noticed more of our neighbors have their Christmas lights up, and it honestly took my breath away and reminded me of simpler times with my mom and other family years ago. Today truly was a special day for me, and I'll cherish it forever. < 3

what I like about "mysterious" and "lost" songs is that you sometimes find hidden gems that you can listen to. I'm glad the internet existed because of things like this.

On the topic of this thread, I'm just happy that I've been continuing working on my second island and making progress in artworks. Also happy that I get to talk to @Dunquixote as always!

☾ I played a little ACNH today and worked on trying to get Rod’s photo! He’s being stubborn with it despite having maxed friendship, but hopefully I can at least get it before hosting hide and seek!!

☾ I got myself the Pokémon TCG Diamond Clan set as my birthday present for myself, and it got here today!! It’s still a little early, but I let myself go ahead and open it anyway since I was feeling up to it ;v; I mainly wanted it for the art of Adaman/the card frame with him and his Leafeon, but it came with a few packs of cards too!
I’ve never opened any packs before (I just buy individual cards secondhand since I’m only in it for the artwork + am only ever after a very specific few), and I got some ones I’m really happy with! The biggest highlights for me were definitely regular art Friends in Hisui (which I wound up using for the frame! full art would’ve been like super ideal but I wasn’t quite that lucky/didn’t want to take my English copy out of its album), Adaman, and Colress’s Experiment! ;v; I also got some cards of Magneton and Wyrdeer which I thought were nice too! I really like the silver border that the Japanese standard art cards have!

☾ Watched some Youtube videos with my family this evening, and we started on GeminiTay’s fourth episode of Wild Life!

It hasn't been a particularly good or bad day for me, but I was feeling kind of emotional about some things. My husband was very comforting and my dog licked away all my tears.

- My mom baked some homemade bread that tasted good. Loved how chewy and moist the dough was.
- Worked on a sketch of a humpback whale.
- Went for a walk and admired the maple leaves outside
- Played AC: Wild World and Lobo moved into my town. Also, I'm glad Kabuki moved out cuz he's kinda ugly.
- Caught up with some anime.

I've been getting back into New Horizon. Since NH gutted a lot of content and features, I've been bringing them back in design.

I already made NL's post office, but I just started working on the police station. I used the basement of the post office building. I still have the attic empty so I'm debating which building I should do next.

The Post office! Also Pelly and (Pelly's fill-in)

The lost and found! I tried my best to recreate what both police stations had in NL. The building in NL is kind of empty and underwhelming, so I took a bit of liberty.

Next I'm going to do the attic whenever I find free time. I'm debating on shampoodle or Nook Homes. Or maybe something else.

I added some decorations to my room, some fake plant vines that I had up at our old place but I never put them up here when we moved. I know some people have strong feelings about fake plants but I like them.
I was also finally able to pick up a seasonal favourite of mine, some cranberry ginger ale! It's been in the shops for a little while but I hadn't been able to grab any until today.

I won the pale wix candy!!! Got new items in ACNH: I downloaded the pocket camp items, online subscription items, time travelled to get the celebratory arches, Celeste gave me the star head recipe. Ate a caramel chocolate cookie.

☾ I re-decorated an area on my island I thought looked kinda awkward/bare while (still) trying to get Rod’s photo! Also have started gifting cute clothes to Sylvana now that I’ve given Shino all the clothes I wanted her to have c:

☾ My parents and I finished watching GeminiTay’s fourth Wild Life episode, and started watching Grian’s!

I was very productive today! I:

• Started cleaning my room
• Cleaned out my old binder and organized my new one
• Got my lines for my show memorized
• Listened to my new band pieces and annotated them
• Memorized my talent show song
• Finished my humanities assignments

I also started Lore by Alexandra Bracken yesterday, and it's pretty good so far!

 

[Dunquixote]

Today was a little better than yesterday, mood wise .

I’m happy because I finished editing a collage that I had made for my island journal; I think it looks much better now than the image that I had posted previously looked.

I unlocked the fusion alarm in Persona 5; it’s one of my favorite features that came with Royal . I’m almost done with the third palace. I will be leaving with the most money that I ever had in a first playthrough.

That’s it for now

three students at work asked for my help specifically today there were several other tutors available but they still chose to ask me for help. makes me feel like i'm doing something right

 

[LadyDestani]

I've noticed that, in general, I'm feeling much better now. I'm still following the restrictions the doctor gave me until I see her again in 2 weeks, but I feel like I could do more. I know I'm not 100% yet, but I feel like I've passed another turning point and there's significant improvement.

I'm no longer struggling with my balance on stairs. I'm getting back to my pre-surgery walking speed and have been walking the full 3 blocks most days. My husband is still doing the bulk of the chores by himself, which I'm grateful for. Even if I could help him, it's been so nice to sit back and have a break from everything. He said he'd pamper me for as long as I needed it.

 

[aericell]

at work they're finally following through on my requests to get some of my kiddos switched to the advanced class one of them's switching on monday and he asked for all the notes so he can catch up and it warms my heart that there's still some that have that drive to learn and i'm really glad i was able to advocate for these kids esp with still being a newer...ish... teacher... feels like a win

• Had a good appointment with my psychiatrist yesterday
• Maintenance changed the lightbulb in my oven today. Mustachio hissed at the guy though she’s not fond of many people. I want to try to socialize her more with other people but it’s hard cause I don’t know many people. My sister comes over sometimes and she hisses at her as well. She’s really a super friendly sweet loving cat with me she just doesn’t like other people coming over
• I slept well last night
• Been reading a lot. Cutting down on my screen time and replacing it with reading more
• It was really cold this morning but I sat outside in it and read. It was nice and woke me up.

 

[spawnpoint]

i finally cut off someone I needed to cut off a long time ago because they were so bad for my mental health. i feel better

also very happy about an unrelated thing id rather not say publicly ^^

My parents are planning to come see me!

I moved to this city 20 months ago and we bought and moved into our own home in September 2023. Anytime I've seen my parents (maybe three times in 2024?) I've gone to them. I mentioned to my Mum this evening that she's welcome to come visit her grandbabies (kittens) whenever and she said she and Dad would love to come over. It might be a couple of months because my Dad's schedule is hectic with international work trips, but whatever I'm excited!
