What Are You Happy About Today?

♡ Got to see my boyfriend today! I WAS SO HAPPY! We went to get ramen, and ice cream :3 And then I got to see his pets! I was so excited to see them again; especially his cat. She's so silly! I love her >< We also talked about what I wanted to do for my birthday.. we're most likely going into the city to go to the AQUARIUM!!!!!!! I love the aquarium! I'm so so super excited. After being so depressed and erratic lately, today was exactly what I needed < 3

♡ I got my bloodwork results back! Apparently my inflammation markers are high, but my rheumatoid arthritis marker is negative? So he's referring me to a rheumatologist, because he suspects I could still have a connective tissue disease/disorder? 🤔 I also went to my podiatrist today, I'm getting orthotic insoles to help with my feet pain. He recommended getting a steroid shot in both of my heels, and I was like.. erm.. no thanks... please.. especially because I talked to my dad the other day, and he said he'd rather have a kidney stone and give birth simultaneously than ever get another shot in ONE heel, let alone BOTH.. and I have a super low pain tolerance compared to him. So, lol. I'm just happy I'm finally starting to get answers. I'm supposed to do exercises to loosen the tightness in my ligaments in my feet/ankles/etc because the doctor said they were extremely tense and tight T^T Maybe one day I'll be strong enough to get the shots in my heels xD Just.. not today xD

♡ I got coffee earlier this morning, which was nice. No matter how freakin' cold it gets, I'll never ever turn down an iced coffee LOL.

♡ I've been having super awesome and wholesome dreams about Bucky Barnes lately. I'd take those over nightmares ANY DAY 💀

♡ Got to chat with some friends today, @Dunquixote being one of them :3 Even if it was only for a little while, I still love chatting with her ^^ I love all of my friends. They're always so funny and cheer me up, especially when I'm having a moody or bad day c: But when I'm in a good mood, they always make it even better!
 
The last few days have been really rough, but there are some things I’m happy about 🙂.

I have been having nice chat with @Mimi Cheems. I had some things on my mind that I was worried about; I’m really grateful Mimi was understanding and patient with me. Talking to her helped me realize how much more I need to improve on communicating with others more and how much work my social skills could use in general. Thanks Mimi 🫶💜💜. I’m happy she’s doing better today!

@themysterybidder shared a super adorable picture of Blossom 🥹. It really brightened my day!

The other day I caved and pulled for Mavuika and her weapon in Genshin; I got her and the other featured weapon too :D. I used up most of my primogems but earned quite a bit where it is starting to look good again. 🙂 I still think her character could have been much more interesting in the story and her character story (not to mention all of natlan’s story could have been so much better), but, I can’t deny that I like her design, VO, and unit.

Yesterday I was stuck on a quest and I didn’t think I would finish it, but I managed to. I got 66% of the total exploration progress done for this limited time area exploration (I wish they made the reward not limited time and whenever); didn’t think I’d get any of this done.

Spanky and Jewels both have been making me happy too; right now Spanky is sleeping in one of her tents and Jewels is on my bed ☺️.

Yesterday, my mom helped me change out my light bulbs in my room. We both kept forgetting or putting it off so I’m happy it is done now.

My dad has work today so it is quiet in the house now.

My mom found a sushi restaurant that she might be taking me and my sister to for my sister’s upcoming birthday :D

That’s it for now. I’m hoping to get this artwork I’m working on done so I can start on others soon, but not sure if I will be able to until my mood improves more. (I’m very grateful for the patience 🫶.).

Skar gifted me a Moon Bunny!! ;v; I'd been wanting one since Space Camp to commemorate my team hehe 🤍 it was super sweet and such a lovely surprise when I first checked TBT this morning!!

I unlocked Rose Country and met Nadi in Story of Seasons today, and was also finally able to build myself a television!

Saw another episode of LDShadowLady’s first season of Empires with my parents this evening!
 
-The Smash session I hosted tonight was a lot of fun! Thank you all who joined, it was so fun playing with you all!
-I made fresh pizza and it was delicious! I might've ate a few too many slices lol
-I have off tomorrow so I can sleep in 🎉
-The for-life Christmas lights that someone gifted me arrived and they're very vintage and bright, but they're Leds. They look amazing when plugged in and will look great on my outside tree next Christmas. I'll forget before then, but I'm excited to see how it looks!
 
I received my W-2 from my current job, which I’ve had for just under four months. I couldn’t help but look at the amount of pay I received in those four months, and it brought a smile to my face. This job is providing me with the income I need to do that. It’s telling me that moving this year is very doable, so long as I want it bad enough. I’m also thankful that certain apartments exist that suit my needs.
I had a few members here wish me happy birthday! It made me happy seeing the thoughtful messages on my wall and on “The Birthday Thread.”

Happy today because it's my day off and I have no obligations today. Probably going to relax and take a nap at some point. I also pulled The Herta in Honkai: Star Rail extending my 50/50 win streak to 7 in that game, and apparently the Dallas STARS defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-1 yesterday, which I'm still catching up on the highlights for. I hate to say it, but I think @/~Kilza~ was spot on when he predicted the Stars would do well this season, because they're on a roll in their last 10 games! 🤩 🌙 ⭐
 
I've been drawing peoples myths from that event before and finally finished drawing one!! This one, I was having trouble with the head, but after referencing and taking the time to finish it, I can finally colour it!!
Now after colouring it, I can do another myth!!

Not much else, the day keeps going too fast to do anything and I feel sleep in the day but didn't wanna sleep.
 
I was praised at work today for how I handled the chaotic workload I've had the past few days. The person who came to see me was actually out of office yesterday and said she'd received "stellar feedback" from the department. 😊

This years senior cohort has been very comfortable with coming to me directly with their science questions and problems. Last years relied heavily on their teachers as a middleman. It has been great getting to know our senior pupils (approx 16-17) as individuals and the details of each of their science projects. It is always good talking to young people who are enthusiastic about STEM!

I ordered Sebastian and Delta custom tags for their collars today. I showed my mum, and she immediately bought the same ones for her cats, copying my text layout line by line. I'm excited for them to arrive - then I've officially taken all the security measures I can to protect them.

Delta has been sitting on my lap the entire time I've been typing this. 🖤

In the WBY thread, I talked about having misplaced a container that held some important supplies I use for my crochet hobby.

My mom ordered new stitch makers, yarn needles, and safety eye washers (things I remember were in the container) for me to make up for the loss, and they arrived a few hours ago. I shall put them to good use.

I completed the harlequin shrimp goals in Pocket Camp Complete!

I made it halfway through the Fairy Tale Fair rerun in Fashion Dreamer!

Played through Valentine’s Day in Story of Seasons, and finally got the recipe so I can make bouillabaisse!! It's Klaus's favorite gift and I've had my heart set on him for awhile, so getting that recipe has been a major goal of mine! ( ⺣´꒳`⺣)

I watched another episode of LDShadowLady’s first Empires series with my parents this evening, and afterwards my mom and I caught up with Markiplier’s playthrough of MiSide!
 
I've felt a lot better today.

-My family and I went down to Po Boys again for lunch
-We were finally able to get some work done on my grandmother's yard which didn't take long
-We then went to Middendorf's for more banger seafood. It hit the spot! our stupid annoying Uncle didn't show up so we didn't have to listen to HIM

-Finished our day by getting daiquiris~
 
- I had some pizza with French fries for dinner.
- Read a book in the morning.
- Got plenty of sleep and wasn't too tired throughout the day.
- Worked on a sketch of Emma Watson and also practiced some skin tone colors.
- Watched some NBA and I'm glad that the Warriors beat the Timberwolves.
 
  • The Nintendo Switch 2 was revealed!! I’m glad I held off and stuck with my original launch day switch all these years and held off on the OLED because I can just save up and get the newest one when it releases instead of the OLED. I’m also really relieved I can play my switch games on it too since they’re still compatible with it!
  • Papi is still hiding but I know he’ll adjust soon ❤️
  • I got some McDonalds last night I ordered from Ubereats. Was super delicious!!
  • Slept amazing last night. 10 hours!
  • My friend who lives in Canada shipped me some books the other day. They’re cookbooks. They arrive in about a week! Super excited
  • I talked to Papi’s previous owner the lady in the hospital with congestive heart failure. She’s gonna call to check in on him now and then and visit occasionally when she gets out. She’s really happy that he went to a good home ❤️ I can tell she really loves him. It’s sad she can no longer keep him but at least she can visit and call
 
Happy today because I got up early and have been productive at work. I'm also headed to a social event later for work and it should be a LOT of fun. The Dallas Stars also play the Montreal Canadiens tonight in Dallas, and it should be a fun game to watch. I got to talk with a friend of mine as well and they're really super sweet, I don't know why I don't talk to them more often. Also just one more day until my dad and I go to the Dallas Mavericks versus OKC Thunder game! The Mavs most likely won't win, but the experience itself should be fun. I also get paid tomorrow as well. Hope everyone has an amazing weekend! 💚
