What Are You Happy About Today?

[Shellzilla_515]

My day off from work was fairly good.

• The snow finally came! Actually, it already did a few days ago, but it made me happy regardless since I love the snow! Except when it melts and turns into ice. Slippery surfaces and I don't go well together.
• I got to catch up on some sleep thanks to being off from work today.
• @/Yanrima~ finally finished the drawing I commissioned a few days ago and it looks so, so adorable! I'm getting closer to completing my winter aesthetic!

Spoiler: You've probably seen it already oops

Yes, it's Pag-asa all ready for winter looking joyful as always.

• I cleaned the house and helped move some furniture around with my father and eventually my mother. Glad to get that out of the way since we're getting closer to wrapping up 2024!
• I also ate some fries and biscuit from Popeyes as a snack that my mother bought.
• Feel free to skip this point. Since online for PlayStation is free this weekend, I did some online races in Gran Turismo 7! I only did this particular daily race where you have a handful of pre-tuned cars to choose from. A couple of them are the meta (best strategy) to winning races, but I didn't resort to that. Instead, I used two cars I had the most fun with.

Spoiler: A photo finish?! 🚗🏁

First place was already long gone, but second place was still up for grabs. Driving in a 1992 Ferrari F40, I was going up against this 2010 Lexus LFA which is one of the two meta cars for this daily race (the other being the 2007 BMW M3). I don't know how it happened since I usually make last corner screw ups regardless of what racing game I play, but I somehow got a great exit on the last corner while my rival got a poor run. They probably got my curse oops. I was slowly, but surely overtaking them up to the line!

The gap between us was .034 seconds! I want to give huge props to Leadfoot for keeping things fair and clean. They could've easily squeezed me up against the wall to get a cheap second place, but I'm glad they didn't. Sometimes, a fair race is more fun than getting a win.

Here's another screenshot of my second place finish. Oh, and did I mention that the Ferrari F40 is one of the many cars that @/xSuperMario64x and I saw at the auto show back in February? To this day, it's still amazing how we actually got to see one in person.

Spoiler: The elusive win! 🏆

This time around, I went for the trusty 1992 Honda NSX Type R. It took me some races, but I was able to snatch a victory on the final lap on the second last corner! I channeled my inner Daniel Ricciardo and it miraculously worked after my rival kept the door wide open. And yes, I still think about NSX I first saw back in June lol.

Over half the lobby was either driving the LFA or the M3. Considering that I'm at a 'disadvantage', I'm glad that I was able to lift the NSX to the top! My adrenaline was pretty high all while the race stayed clean and fair. Even got congratulated by one other person too.

☾ I cleared the Pocket Camp Complete gardening event!! I also got a really pretty Christmas tree for my camp and a cute bonfire area, and invited Rodeo!! who I’ve now dressed up in a lil Santa outfit. love that silly demon cow

☾ Finished volume 24 of Kimi ni Todoke, and made good progress on volume 25!

☾ Played Story of Seasons for a little bit! praying that Ramsey the sheep decides to give me wool next time I play, because the Fashion Fiesta is two days away, I am one piece of cloth short, and the clothing I am trying to make takes a full day

☾ Watched LDShadowLady’s first Impossible Minecraft video this evening! They weren’t kidding about the impossible part either lol, that datapack seems absolutely brutal

- This happened yesterday, but the release date for the final EPIC saga was announced! It's on Christmas Day, which we were all expecting, but I'm still very excited!

- I FINALLY cleaned the mold from my windows! I still have a ways to go in terms of getting the more stubborn stuff and making sure it doesn't come back, but I still have a heck of a lot less than I started with.

Today was a pretty good day!

I had so much fun playing Among Us! I got to be a shapeshifter two times in a row and phantom once .

I’m really excited that tbt’s season of giving is starting soon.

I’m happy I was able to find something for a close friend that was special to her but was sold for some reason. I didn’t know the exact date of it but I’m glad that it made her happy regardless.

I’m really happy with the Christmas lights that were gifted to me; I made sure to screenshot the messages since they were all really lovely . I wish I thought of this in previous years; thanks @Saylor for the idea (and ofc for the message on the lights. )

@mocha. shared some adorable pictures of her kitty earlier . It really helped get my day to a good start, he is so adorable . @BetsySundrop shared a picture of her kitty today too; she had such a beautiful kitty .

I’ve been enjoying playing Fate Go’s holiday rerun event. I’m having so much fun using Melusine, the unit I go the other day . I got one of her skills maxed and am pretty close to having a second skill maxed.

I’m looking forward to hide and seek tomorrow. I put together a new outfit for it. Got to grab them in the mail before the session starts . I hope my connection will be okay .

That’s it for now!

Today was a fantastic day! I got to talk with more of my friends today and my best online friend, and I really appreciate them all so much. I also texted my best in-real-life friend yesterday and was glad to hear that he's still doing well. Today I got to sleep in and was able to play some video games. Currently working on the Honkai: Star Rail home decor event, and it's really fun so far. Also thankful for everyone who has sent me lights so far, including @/Captain Jigglypuff , @/lasagne_of_death , and @/Plainbluetees ! I don't plan on displaying them, but am grateful for the sentiment nonetheless. I'm also starting to shop for Christmas presents for the people I care about. Last, but certainly not least, the Dallas Mavericks just defeated the Toronto Raptors in Toronto 125-118 to extend their winning streak to 7 games!!! I'm really over-the-moon with how they're playing, they're just straight up dominating right now, haha. Planning on having a chill night and playing more games as well as watching more anime. Hope everyone continues to have a good weekend!

I'm getting closer to a friend!

It has been a great day and a great start to my vacation. Had a nice morning walk with Aurora. Me and my mom went to the Christmas tea at our church this morning and had a great time. We started to decorate the house for Christmas this afternoon. Sent and received some Christmas lights and I really appreciate the ones I got and the messages.
Played some ACNH this afternoon and ordered some things and continued to decorate my islands.
So excited to get to play hide and seek tomorrow. Especially since I had to miss the last two.
Went for a nice evening walk with Aurora and she got to play with two of her friends.
Hope everyone had a great day.

☾ I played more Pocket Camp Complete today, and got everything from Marcie’s and Egbert’s fortune cookies!! Those sets are some of my favorites so I’m glad to have got everything, plus the memory short stories are really cute too!

☾ I had fun playing in the Among Us session tonight! There were some really funny moments and I’m glad I was able to attend ehehe

☾ And I got my island rep all dressed up for ACNH Hide and Seek tomorrow!! as a result of that + Pocket Camp I am getting to bed much later than originally planned LOL but it’s the weekend at least!

i finally finished my painting project. it’s not my best work but i am so happy that it’s over with.

I've been kind of absent from the forums for a bit so this is a few things over the week.

I've been enjoying a hot chocolate advent with my sister.
I started to get back into drawing and have a few holiday themed ones I want to get done before Christmas
I also started to get back into writing and this story I've been working on for a while. Also hope to get it done before Christmas for my penpal. We've been keeping in touch and sharing stories for many years. And I enjoy our little tradition and friendship.

I was finally able to put up my Christmas lights earlier this week and I put up the inside decorations in my living room a few days ago. Pulled these cuties out of storage and put them under the tree. The ornaments on the table are too heavy for the tree, but I still wanted to decorate with them.

 

[lasagne_of_death]

Put up Christmas decorations with my family yesterday, and we put up outside lights as well. Haven't gotten a tree yet, but we're waiting until closer to the time to prevent having a wilted and sad tree by the time Christmas is here.

I've watched three Christmas movies so far: The Star, Santa Clause, and Dear Santa. By the way, if you're thinking of watching Dear Santa- don't. It's really bad, at least in my opinion.

I had Thursday off school, Friday was a half day, and Monday I will be off because of the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, since it falls on a Sunday this year it's being transferred to the 9th, Monday. Then there's a school trip on Friday coming, so I've had and will have plenty time to rest.

- Happy to have a day off today after a tough shift yesterday. I ended up having a 4 hour nap so I think I really needed it
- My trip is soon, I'm packing tonight!
- Had Moroccan food for dinner
- Contemplating going on a short hiking trip to the Lake District when I have 10 days off before my new job starts, it'd only cost me about £80 in total for transport and accommodation...

 

[Chris]

We were hosting a friend's birthday party last night. It went incredibly well!

My parents sent me a Christmas gift! I've been wanting to buy these for months.
