Happy today because I found out my year-end bonus amount for work, and it's wayyy more than I was expecting. Now it'll be easy to get everyone and myself gifts for Christmas! I'm also headed to martial arts tonight, which I'm excited about. Most of all, I'm excited for the TBT event that begins tomorrow!
☾ I managed to get off work three Sundays in a row, which rarely ever happens. In short, I work at an Airport with only two big food establishments, that being the family-owned restaurant I work at and Chick-fil-A. Obviously the latter is closed on Sunday, so we are always hectic. Because of this, the employees rotate Sundays off, but due to scheduling and people needing off certain days, I got real lucky. ☾ Dare I say it, but the Los Angeles Kings are good?? I’m very impressed with how this team is playing. I’m so excited to see them in person soon! ☾ I’m happy that a package with an item I recently ordered arrived. It’s just a raschel blanket that I’m leaving in the box until I move. It was heavily discounted because of Cyber Monday, so I had to snag it. I love the fabric and design of it.
☾ I finished my piece for Balverine’s Secret Santa event, and was also able to finish a personal art piece that I’ve been working on for a while!
☾ My fairy lights were super dim/clearly about to go out so I put some new batteries in them today, and now they’re really bright and cozy again ;w;
☾ Watched a little Youtube with my family this evening, and got to see Danny Gonzalez’s new video!
☾ I played through a few more days in Story of Seasons (I have a second cow now!), and also checked in on Pocket Camp Complete this evening! I unlocked the second story of the cabin, so I decorated that tonight with some more of the Toy Day items I've collected, and I love how it looks ;v;
☾I was really hoping for Holiday Twinkle to be one of the winners of the backdrops poll, and it made it!! so now I'm happily using it!!
Today was really rough again but a couple things I’m happy about.
I’ve been enjoying playing Genshin today; I finished the event even though it meant meeting characters I haven’t met yet. I’m postponing playing with my friends for now, but I’m hoping we’ll be able to play sooner than later. Same with Among Us.
I’m really enjoying Pocket Camp! I used to not enjoy it so much with the way it was set up before with micro transactions, but I think I’m happier with it now and it helped taking a long break from it too. I still love the AR camera. It’s so fun to take pictures of my favorite villagers chilling on one of my cats .
I’m still looking forward to the season of giving; I’m going to try to push myself through it since last time I skipped an event because I wasn’t feeling good was when the shadow kitty was a new collectible and I’m still kicking myself for that (I was able to buy one though!)
Tomorrow I should be getting that package that we missed the other day that was from Japan. My mom scared me today when she first said the post office said they couldn’t find it. My dad managed to find the mail man and they think they know where it is (I’m still worried though); my dad signed for it at the post office so there should hopefully be no problems.
Jewels has been sitting on the table with me right next to me whenever I eat more frequently lately. I caught her again last night looking at my carrot juice again; Idk why she keeps being curious about it lol.
today i'm happy that work wasn't too bad! my 6th period was actually... decent but hey i didn't lose my mind trying to get them under control. then we had a staff celebration afterschool and they got us a taco truck for lunch and it was delicious. i also went a way out of my comfort zone and participated in some of the games they hosted even when i was at a table by myself. i ended up getting a partner and some other coworkers to sit with me during the other games. i won a lil prize as well which wouldn't have happened if i had gone back to my room like i was originally planning to. the games were actually pretty fun and i realized i would like to be more involved in events like this at work.
had some weird rough things to deal with today but i talked to my boyfriend after work and he has encouraged me to branch out and try to form more connections with my coworkers and i feel a little more confident in myself to do so!! i am feeling better than i thought i would
Finisheding my cover letter for the shadow programme and already sent it off with my CV~
Was finishing writing that off as I waited to hear from my friend's mum who wanted me to help her with something, hasn't called back just yet.
Helped my mum with the shopping today.
I recently tried a double decker chocolate bar, and its so good, never had it before and glad I enjoy it.
Plan to work on my my crystal and heartgold nuzlocke today. Mainly training.
I made a coworker a card last night, and he really liked it when I gave it to him today.
I feel good about the gifts I gave people today.
The person I got for irl secret santa really liked her present. Especially the homework passes I gave her lol
I bought this first year some sweets because her secret santa gave her foot cream and nothing else
Wrote Christmas cards for three of my friends which I put a lot of thought into.
I feel good because I finally apologised properly for being mean to one of my friends two years ago in the card I made
I gave one of them a new rain poncho because somebody in the school tore the old one
Got a few other stuff for the three of them, but I'm not going to list them all
I received a cute orange bear for secret santa, which I'm going to call Din because its lable has something that looks like a triforce on it
I wrote a two page narrative story/essay in forty minutes. That's the most I've ever written in so short a time, or even one sitting.
Also today's the first time I referred to my friends as my friends to them. I've never called them friends, because friendship always seems to me like something elusive. But I finally did it, and I'm happy.
I started off reading some one piece (I started rereading it), and playing some games, then went off for a doctors appointment, leading to a blood test and some other stuff. But at least I got it out of the way finally!
But this evening I went to a show!! My partner went with me and it was a lot of fun <3
I got given a bracelet by someone which was really nice of them!! And the show was good and it was so nice to hang out with my partner <3 It was a show I was wanting to go to so I was a little scared they'd find it weird or just not funny, but they were laughing !! and they said they had a good time as well.
Came back and played games for a little bit while on the phone to them and about to sleep now. My wording brain isn't working well because of it being late, but I'm grateful for the people in my life, and for a nice day. I hope you're all having a wonderful day as well.
- I got my microfauna culture today in the mail. Though the whole thing has to go into the tank because my house is too damn cold to grow it more in a jar first.
- I'm happy I have a warm place to stay compared to outside. Beyond temperatures, winter wind is no fun.
- I'm happy I didn't have to leave the house today because I don't feel well. That's a luxury tbh.
- the tbt event starts tonight. I look forward to it as it will be a great distraction for me. Even if I don't participate for some reason. I enjoy seeing the entries. I am also curious about the Christmas collectibles even though it will be a while before they are unwrapped. They are some of the cutest collectibles tbh.
- I got to play in wuthering waves for a bit today. I have been really struggling to play a video game for a few days and it was nice to get on today, and for more than just and hour at that.
Got some things off my chest. Talked to my boyfriend and friends. Had really good food last night. Got my 2025 calendar up and brought out some stuff I bought last week. Also came online on TBT to see friends had sent me lights, it really means a lot & I will return the favor in a bit when I've settled down Thank you for thinking of me.
Today wasn’t good but there was still some things that made me happy:
My Neko Atsume merchandise arrived. They both were a lot smaller than I thought they’d be. The acrylic stand doesn’t fit well in the slot and will fall out if I move or touch it. The frame feels pretty cheap and doesn’t stand well but it still works.
@Xara (tagging you since I want you to see my neko atsume goodies since you play the game too :3).
The other postcards are behind this one in the frame.
It’s a silly thing but I think it is funny. Please ignore the dust.
The acrylic charms are still on their way and in Japan. I’m really excited about them.
I got a five star item in a fortune cookie that I opened today in Pocket Camp; I bought a couple and also more crafted limited items.
I got some lower rarity items from the magic carpet cookie that I wanted too: I got the lower rarity carpet and the fountain and the hat. I got a bunch of dresses that I already have too. I think I need only one more item from that set.
I’m excited about the season of giving event. My mood is nowhere where I’d like it to be but, I’m really happy about the event. I’m sure I’ll end up having a lot of fun .
I’m happy I didn’t need to go shopping today; tomorrow I will though.
Earlier I got enough of one of the materials in Genshin to ascend Zhongli again; I need to do Geo boss for the last materials I need for this ascension. I’ve been having fun using him too! I’m so happy I got him and still can’t believe I got Neuv to c1 in so few pulls.
My dad got some samosas from somewhere today and let me have them; he wanted the beef one but since it was mixed in with the two chicken ones, he let me have all of them. They were so delicious!
I got a few more christmas lights today and really kind messages .
