What Are You Happy About Today?

[Suguri]

Last week I worked on my finals and I got them finished! I feel so relieved to get my first semester finished, and now I have my two weeks off where I can rest and recharge. In addition to that, the Christmas event has been a lot of fun so far! I was able to reunite with my Switch to work on one of the event entries, and I even changed my icon to my all-time favorite character. I love it so much!!

Spoiler: Wowzers!

Yesterday, we got four pet goldfish! My dad has been setting up an aquarium over the past few weeks for them. We went to the pet store to pick out the fish and I grew attached with the black one. I've affectionately named it Kieran, of course.

Two of our fish are orange while one is brown and the other black. I plan on naming another fish Carmine, but I haven't decided who to give that name to.

Three of them!

This one was hiding behind the fake plants when I took this photo. They're adjusting to their new environment, hehe.

Kiki, my beloved!

Today we're going somewhere and we're eating breakfast in the car! I'll talk more about it in another post.

I got my PC set up
My PC has been sitting in a box for several months due to lack of space but I've set it up now so I can do some gaming

I've felt awful most of this week, and my supply of frozen homemade meals ran out, so my diet has been terrible. Feeling a bit better today, so I decided to take advantage of this energy and get some cooking done. And I finally got to use the new Ninja knives my parents sent me for Christmas!

Top-left: x6 portions of root vegetable soup.
Top-right: x6 portions of sausage casserole.
Bottom: x4 portions of tomato & courgette halloumi pasta bake.

I love cooking, so this was an enjoyable way to spend my afternoon.

I also managed to make my girlfriend happy by reassembling her PC in the guest bedroom after we moved it out of the study a few weeks ago. She's been upstairs playing her favourite game, The Binding of Isaac, for hours.

To end the evening we're going to watch an episode of The Umbrella Academy. We've just started season 3 and it already looks like it is going to be a good one.

One day of work left before Christmas!

Those all look really good. You made some really amazing meals I started getting more experimental with my cooking and it's so fun to try different things. I made a pumpkin soup that's more hearty like potato soup. I wasn't sure what to expect, but wow it was really good.

I made homemade cookies. Chocolate chip and peanutbutter with jam/heresy kisses in the middle. I already ate all the strawberry jam ones

But I've been dying to make these sugar cookies forever and finally found the time earlier today. I couldn't even wait for them to cool down. I had to test-taste one right away. They were so good!

I finally used up all of my Christmas themed post stamps! They were very cute, and I'm glad I managed to send all the cards before postage stopped for Christmas.

Those look adorable and they sound tasty too! I spy Munchlax .

My mood could still be much better but I have some things that made me happy .

My mom made some more Christmas cookies today (I have stopped baking since I was a kid, sadly ; i have zero patience) and they were delicious. I haven’t been eating Christmas cookies much though the last few Christmases. I love when she burns them a little (not charcoal black but just some brown on the bottom). She made some other cookies too a week or so ago too that I likec shortbread cookies; I think she still has to make the peanut butter ones with the hershey kisses in the middle.

Last night I got some more lights from friends . I loved the messages .

I went a bit crazy on the fortune cookies in pocket camp last night but I got a lot of nice things.

put them in a collage to save space

I was trying to get the carousel horses but I’ll definitely take the five star halloween float. I was trying to get the three star bear (I thought it was a handheld for some reason; I’m still happy with it regardless), but I will gladly take this too; it is really cute! I’ve been trying to get the gingerbread tower for two days or so and I finally got that . I was trying for the smaller bookshelf and seat from molly’s cookie but I did want the five star eventually ; I was disappointed to find out I cannot use the seat. I was thinking of using the bookshelves in my trailer, but not sure if I want to since I can’t sit down (this one does actually fit lol). I got the calico statue that I wanted .

I played some Genshin; got my dailies done today and more materials for Zhongli’s final ascension.

I got plenty of snuggles and kisses from Spanky while I was sleeping earlier; Jewels had unfortunately had to be locked out of the room since she kept knocking down my nendoroid and banging on my bathroom door since I locked the advent calendar in there . I had no idea Spanky was in my room though, so I think Jewels was upset with me for awhile.

I finished my myths last night! I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. I wish I could draw better than this but I’m happy with what I could do for now since I felt like I got something out of it - more experience and practice, not to mention the fun trying to interpret someone’s written ideas. I kinda need a short break from drawing, but I definitely still want to keep drawing. I still got Xara’s request to do in draw that user above you .

I’m happy Jewels is behaving right now; she is sleeping on my bed. I know she will later try to knock down the advent calendar again .

That’s it for now.

Yes! They're such a good addition to the batch. They're like the Cookie Monster of Pokemon I wish I could share them with you all.

Happy today because I got to binge more Fairy Tail and then slept in. Talked with someone for awhile about things that have been bugging me, and they were very kind, patient, and insightful with me. The Dallas Mavericks also defeated the LA Clippers last night 113-97 for a bounce-back victory to keep them in a comfortable playoff spot. It's now only three days until Christmas as well, and I'm working from home this week and don't have martial arts again until 2025. Hope everyone has a great week ahead!
