What Are You Happy About Today?

I found this sweet Sufjan Stevens hat for cheap on Depop and my friend got me this Peanuts hoodie! I've been trying to save up so I haven't gotten any new clothes in a while. I feel so alive

I found a site I used to make some cute pronoun blinkies!! ;v; are they still technically “blinkies” if I saved most of them as still images, or are they just small banners… I’ve got a bunch of seasonal ones saved too, so I can rotate them out throughout the year!
Ooh, what's that site called? I'm curious. :0
 
I had a pretty good day. At work, I attended a couple of meetings where we just brainstormed solutions for our current project. I really enjoy that kind of thing. It was very low stress and fun.

I left work early for a doctor appointment and my vitals all look good. I discussed something with her that's been upsetting me since my surgery and it felt good that she validated my concerns. She offered a few generic suggestions to get back to my old self, but recommended I reach out to the surgeon for more specific information since that's not her specialty. I've already sent my surgeon a message through my Patient Portal and hope to have a response next week.

I did some self-care this evening which included a full yoga session. I haven't done that since the operation, only a few stretches here and there as needed. I'm going to try committing to a daily session like I was doing pre-surgery. I always feel relaxed and better afterwards, but sometimes it's hard to get the motivation to start. 🧘‍♀️

My husband found a gym that he will hopefully like. He had a consultation this week and starts his first session with a personal trainer on Monday. He's been on a path to get healthier and in shape for the past few years, but reached the limit of what he could do on his own. He's been wanting to do this for a while, so I told him I'd cover the cost as his Christmas present. 🏋️‍♂️

Speaking of Christmas presents, I never mentioned what I got for Christmas. I've been talking about playing AC:GC again for a while, but I've never really searched for it. My wonderfully hubby bought me the original game and a controller so I can play it on our Wii! I'm not exaggerating. I literally cried.

@Autumn247 You have a new kitty! He's beautiful! 😸
 
Completed my first week at my big girl job 🥳

I managed to get quite a lot done this week, and I’m trying to make a priority list so that I can get a little more done each day. I had my first talk with the head about my ECT (in England it’s mandatory to do 2 years of additional induction training after graduating). I explained that at the beginning of the week I was really nervous and felt a bit overwhelmed because I had been thrown in the deep end but feel like I’ve finally settled into the role a bit more. He told me he thinks I’m doing a great job and not to worry about anything because he thinks I’m settling in well. Such a relief to hear this. I’m hoping that next week will be even better! I treated myself to a glass of wine and a takeaway last night to celebrate!

Going to have a restful weekend now and catch up on FFXIV and Genshin (I’ve been doing my dailies but haven’t had time for anything else!). I’m also planning on going to the shops and picking up a few bits for my classroom.
 
- Had a pretty nice Friday! Fridays are usually very chill at my job and we finish an hour early 😅

- Had a really lovely morning today! I slept in until 9am and then went out to get breakfast with my best friend. It's been quite sunny outside as well, and bumped into my dad on my way home before he set off for an overnight trip

- Gonna have pizza for dinner later 🤗🍕
 
Happy today because I got to sleep in and had my favorite coffee drink. Played games for awhile and grinded exploration in Wuthering Waves. I also fed my kitty her favorite wet food and gave her hugs and kisses. Lastly, the Dallas Stars defeated the St. Louis Blues 2-0 in St. Louis to further extend their lead over the Minnesota Wild for the 2nd spot in the NHL Central Division. Hope everyone had a good day! 🏒 🔥 💚
 
I watched an episode of Hunter x Hunter and Demon Slayer this morning with my family!

Got a really tedious chore done off my to-do list OTL it took hours and was positively mind-numbing but! It’s done now and I don’t have to think about it anymore

Bought a few songs on iTunes! I haven't listened to my music in a little while actually, need to find some time for that

Also got to see some Youtube videos this evening, including another of LDShadowLady’s Empires S1 videos! Her and Joel are honestly adorable; they’re relationship goals for me I stg

I played Among Us this evening, both hide and seek and classic modes!! ;v; I had so much fun aaaa
 
Today has been pretty good for me filled with a lot of laughs. I'm really grateful for that. ☺️
  • Even though work got somewhat busy near the end of my shift, it wasn't stressful thankfully.
  • My mother bought some pizza and also cooked popcorn chicken for dinner! In addition with rice and sauteed beans, it was very filling.
  • I've been watching some VanossGaming videos in the past few days. More specifically, I watched the ones he made just over a decade ago and it gave me quite a lot of laughs. This is because I watched them back when he was starting out his Youtube career, so it was a nostalgia trip if anything. Even after all this time, his old videos still make me laugh so hard. 🤣 Great to see him still make funny videos to this day with his friends which I ended up watching one.
  • I played in yet another session of Among Us hosted by @/Dunquixote! Goodness gracious, it was quite an interesting evening playing with @/TN4U, @/BetsySundrop, and @/.: Meri :.. Imposters were slaying (quite literally in-game) for a few rounds, especially when framing innocent victims (I was one of the said victims lol). On the flipside, we've had a couple of short rounds due to imposters getting caught red-handed at the wrong time. My personal highlight for me is that I was able to protect Meri with my guardian powers twice in the same round. However, I found it very funny how they decided to frame me as the imposter a few rounds later despite grouping up with BetsySundrop (who ended up being on the chopping block if you know what I mean). All that saving in the afterlife and this is the thanks I get. 😂 For the record, this is all just good banter and laughed my head off!
 
- I bought a few thrifted cargo pants today!! They were about less than $10 each and I got 3 :) I needed new pairs of pants and I'm really happy to have gotten them for cheap! Secondhand/thrifted clothes are the best, I've been buying from thrift stores more frequently than from actual shops at this point because the prices are just so much more friendly and accessible. $30 in regular clothing shops would've gotten me a single pair of pants, but right now I'm up to 3 pairs of pants for a bit lower price too. I'm really happy 🥹

Reminds me to clean up my closet again, I have a few pre-loved clothes that are too small for me now and I'd love to give them away. I did that last Christmas and I'm looking to do it again sometime this midyear.

- I received my Maple LEGO set! It's soooo cute 🥹🥹🥹💕 Assembled it today but I still have to think about where to put it hehe.

- Got to study a decent amount, I'm not finished yet but I'm glad I went out! Driving has been more therapeutic for me too because I hate being in the house studying all day.

- Mom got me hot chocolate packs & iced tea 🥳
 
- I ate some steamed momos with rice for dinner that I ordered from a Nepali restaurant.
- Went to a pickleball lesson and learned how to serve. I also received a lot of compliments from others for improving my skills.
- It rained a bit today for the first time in a while.
- Played AC: Wild World and Nan moved to my town.
