What Are You Happy About Today?

Today was a better day than yesterday.

I played a little more of my second island, updated my island journal (I still need to update my map; forgot to do that. Will also need to update another image), went island hopping. I found Goose, who’ve I’ve been interested in for awhile now :D. I just need to come up some better titles for the two posts that I made.

I caught Jewels sleeping in the small box 😅😸😹😹. She could’ve used her sister’s pineapple bed or her purple bed, but no, she wanted the tiny cardboard box 😹😹😹.

My mom made salad with chicken to go in it tonight and some biscuits. It was so good.

I found a rerun of the Levi Ackerman AOT nendoroid; I added it to my Christmas list. I’ve been looking for it for years and was really excited to find it in a store that I don’t have to worry about third party sellers, scammers and scalpers.

I caught Spanky sleeping in her tent today too. I didn’t see her until Jewels was close to it, since then Spanky’s paw came out from the tent, trying to get Jewels 😸.

That’s it for now 🙂
 
Rod FINALLY gave me his photo in ACNH 😭 Just for him specifically it only took me more wrapped pairs of coconuts than I can remember, several freshly-picked gold roses, a hefty handful of rare mushrooms, and over half a stack of pearls, but now I finally have all my villagers’ photos!! ;w;

Watched a little Youtube with my family this evening, and we finished Grian’s fourth Wild Life episode!

And I worked on some art this evening while listening to Knimbley livestreaming the Dragon Quest III: HD-2D remake!! I already played DQIII on mobile and my gaming backlog is Too Big and I Don’t Need It, but ohh my god the graphics are absolutely gorgeous and I love that you can customize your party members a little bit now!!
 
I had a pretty good day. I had another massage therapy session, which I really needed. This time I was able to lay on my stomach without any pain, so she was able to work on my lower back too.

We went grocery shopping and got salad supplies. We haven't had salads in a while so I'm excited to get back to eating healthier. I also picked up a few indulgences like ice cream and peppermint bark, but I'll eat them in moderation. While we were there, I also got a birthday card and gift card for my nephew. He's turning 15 next week!

My husband and I are hosting Thanksgiving this year for the first time. The immediate families are coming to us so I won't have to travel too much. It's only 5 people, not a big crowd, and they're each bringing a main dish. We rarely cook, but we'll contribute a few things to round out the meal like some simple side dishes, rolls, and a dessert. I wasn't too sure about the idea when my husband first suggested it, but now I'm kind of excited.

My sister-in-law is bringing the kids in after Thanksgiving so we'll get to see them over the weekend!
 
I don't wanna jump the gun buuuuut I'm fairly positive that I'll be coming back for my Canadian loves in February hehehe 🇨🇦💓

also, I'm still not 100% feeling better because I probably am anemic/vitamin deficient, but I'm definitely feeling better than I have been for the last week and I'm grateful for that 🥺
 
- Had another good shift yesterday! Super chill and easy despite closing by myself, mostly because my coworkers did a lot before they left.

- Successfully went grocery shopping and stocked up on stuff.

- Made a fish fillet burger w/ hash brown and sweet potato fries, v tasty! 😋

- Have an online job interview on tuesday, so we'll see how that goes. it would be a full time position in admin, which would be ideal for saving up + learning skills in business admin before i leave for my travels in late 2025
 
I went back to Rune Factory 3 Special today to play through Shara’s Newlywed Mode story, and also made some progress in my main file with her—we have a daughter now!! 🌸 I also went and got the Another Episode DLC from the eShop! I haven't started it yet, but I’m looking forward to checking out Shara’s short story next time ;w;

Also I did yoga last night and this morning, trying to make it a daily habit

  • gonna head home and decompress from all the socializing and npcing then i’ll probably recipe test this cake i want to bring to my cousin’s daughter’s baby shower ( *ฅ́˘ฅ̀*)
 
My boys did so well at the vet today. They got (jokingly) told off for purring when the vet was trying to listen to their hearts. Sebastian must have eaten a week's worth of treats in that appointment - he is so easily bribed. 🐈

I've been in a lot of pain today, so I appreciated that I had today off work. I spent most of it lying on the sofa with my boys (they were very sleepy after their vaccines) - I even managed to nap a little bit with them.

I managed to get through the TBT Time Capsule event threads and launched the Pokémon Scarlet & Violet tournament.

My ASDA order came so I've a day of batch-cooking ahead of me tomorrow - providing this pain dies down! I'm going to make a tomato & courgette halloumi pasta bake, sausage & veggie casserole, and a root vegetable soup.

I've also been invited to my friend Mark's birthday party tomorrow. Let's hope I feel up to it.

My partner's at the theatre with her Dad and I'm appreciating a quiet night.

My little men are being very cute tonight. 💕

Nicholas has a cold, but still really wanted to go to IHOP today as planned. So, we went and he was in good spirits and actually ate well.

Managed to get my time capsule post in and sign up for the Pokemon tournament that hopefully I don’t have third first round KO in a row that hopefully I do well in.
