- Made a Valentine's Day basket for my bf c: He's been going through it the past few days. I'm excited to give it to him T^T I hope it makes him happy!!! I put a tooon of goodies in there. Like various chocolates, a small little Lego set (he loves Legos), some chapsticks (he hates having chapped lips xD), and some Rice Krispie treats-- but not just ANY Rice Krispie treats. They have Shadow the Hedgehog on them!!! He LOVES Shadow! I also found a Pokémon Valentine's Day card at CVS that I couldn't pass up on getting for him.. EEEE!!!

- I got to hang out with my mom today. We went to Dunkin and got Burger King. Man, it was soo good lol. I was really craving some fries. I've been trying to watch what I eat, but a small fry from Burger King was my little treat. And the drink I got from Dunkin has like.. very little calories, so it was nice to get TWO treats! xD

- I got Astra to C1 in Zenless Zone Zero. She's soooo pretty *^* I hope when she reruns I can get a couple more copies of her. I really want her name-card >< I think she's so gorgeous aughh. Speaking of ZZZ, I finally reached level 50!!! So now, I can max the levels of my favorite characters. Like Ellen, Astra, and Miyabi hehe. Soon, I'll be able to get Burnice And hopefully Evelyn, too! :3

- My stepmom made wedding soup on Sunday. I've been eating it like crazy. She makes the best!!! It's always so.. fulfilling to eat, not to mention it makes me feel very warm on the inside < 3 Yummy! I've been pairing it with her homemade bread :3

- I did my skincare routine today! I also showered, blow-dried my hair.. brushed my teeth.. I did a lot to take care of myself today! I always feel super good after doing a full 'self-care' routine thing. Especially when nobody else is home. Makes it easier for me, because I can just take my time with everything, instead of feeling rushed ^^

- I've been playing a TON of Hello Kitty Island Adventure. It's a really nice AND fun way for me to pass the time xD I'm having bunches of fun playing it. I hope I can make friends who also play. I joined the community Discord server for the game, and I've been lurking there- too shy to say anything or chat with others there yet ><

I think that's all for today c:

I held another tbt friendly Smash session. It was a lot of fun. Lots of close games and everyone did amazing

I have a full weekend off of work this week and I'm really looking forward to that. I was supposed to have off tomorrow and I really need a day off and just to sleep in, but I'll jump on the opportunity to have 2 days off in a row. Just 3 more days to go!

Yesterday, I FINALLY caught uo with drawing in my sketchbook for the three days I had missed.
I swear if I missed another day, the whole idea if drawing everyday would've collapsed.

Today, an old coworker and her friend who regularly get their coffee here, helped me by setting up the tables and chairs outside while I did their coffees
Giving me more time to get everything else ready for the day. Here's hoping I leave early today.
Gonna try and be really busy today. Uploading switch images/videos, invite Alli to my campsite for the second time, and maybe work on my job stuff too.
Might order some nice pens for my birthday pens specially for skin colours cause myother ones aren't do good, and some flea tablets for my cats. Wish I could just bathe em all in flea shampoo.

Today was my granddad's cremation, so it has not been a happy day. I took the day off work for it.

In the morning I went to my usual weight training session with my PT. I felt awful but it was a good session.

This evening I decided the best thing I could do for myself was keep busy. I made a sausage casserole (5 portions), 11 beef & black bean burritos, and made myself a burrito bowl for dinner.

Now I'm sitting with my partner enjoying a glass of wine, watching Star Trek: Voyager, and my furry sons are asleep on me. Here's a picture my partner took before they settled down:

Spoiler: My boys

Dreadful day, but my counsellor has told me to look for something that makes me happy each day, so here we go. My boys absolutely make me happy - I'm so grateful they are in my life.

 

[speardovich]

I made a friend earlier today!! My mum took me to a meetup thing and me and a group of other kids there (including her obv) went off on a walk together. She even helped me out when I got stuck in brambles

Also, I redesigned a character I drew when I was 10! It was really fun :3

 

[KittenNoir]

I got smashed avocado on toasted sourdough for breakfast

 

[Midoriya]

Happy today because I was kind of having an off-day and was feeling glum, but I decided to order an ice cream cookie sandwich from a new ice cream shop that opened up recently nearby. It was sooooooooooo good! I was definitely craving something sweet, and it hit the spot for sure.

Spoiler: ice cream sandwich

Today is kinda just starting for me; honestly not feeling great, but I have a few things that I’m happy about so far.

My mom just got home and we ordered takeout food from a restaurant.

Spoiler

I ordered a warm rice bowl - tuna poke fire (it was build your own bowl) with warm bread (bread was not warm and not very big), and a side of roasted sweet potatoes (they were kinda warm but not as warm as they should). I have leftovers now since it was too big to eat in one sitting. It was pretty spicy and was very good. I was disappointed though about my food not being warm enough and my mom didn’t get the side of bread she ordered either.

I had a nice chat with @Xara last night .

That’s it for now.

☾ The surprise commission I ordered the other day is finished and I am just over the moon omg!! ;u; The artist did an amazing job and even did an alternate version, my gal Twyla looks adorable and I’m so happy eeeeeee

sippin on some coffee listening to that new weeknd album and messed up some delicious KBBQ for dinner and the work week is almost over for me because i got the long weekend off this week

 

[Kamex]

- I ate a blueberry muffin that tasted pretty good.
- Worked on a portrait drawing of Tom Cruise in graphite.
- The weather was nice and sunny here in California today. I also appreciated some rain yesterday after those wildfires in LA.
- Got to relax and watch a movie in the evening.
- Found this funny and adorable pic of Luna that made me laugh. My mom wrapped her in a blanket a few days ago and called her a burrito, lmao.

Spoiler: Luna

 

[xSuperMario64x]

[Midoriya]

I got up early again today and found out that I did a fantastic job covering for my colleague yesterday. I got a shoutout from my colleague for the work I did as well as several shoutouts from some of the people I helped. It makes me so very happy when I go above and beyond at work, especially since I love working there. Hope everyone has a great Thursday!

So last year I bought these industrial shelving things to use as tank stands. I have been carefully testing them ever since and decided they don't have enough support unless I modify them some. Because they are a heavy duty metal, I'm not keen on the idea of drilling through them to insert support boards. I have another use for them and I went into it knowing I could use them for other things and it may not work out for my tanks.
I ordered a couple of stands and they are coming in early, today! So I am happy about that today. They also have a smaller foot print so they won't come out as far from the wall as these industrial shelves I was testing. I also have little shelving things thats attached to the stands coming in that I can put cactuses on. So maybe I can get a zebra haworthia this summer after all without the fear of my dogs trying to eat it! I guess some of the shelves have lights but I'm not sure where. I'll find out when we assemble one of them tonight. The cube tank I have is second hand and we only resealed it so it isn't a long term thing, but works for me getting started last February. So I'm ready for transfer if it does show an issue later.
I am also happy my anxiousness is less today. Hopefully I'll stop writing books when I comment on stuff soon.
I also found a young snail in my cube that looks like it may be the spawn of my favorite pond snail I have! I have pond snails in three colors between my two tanks. Some that are a dark gray brown muddy color, some that are translucent like with a very light blue hue with little translucent spots, and one that is an ivory like color with black specks.
Since I have pond snails and bladder snails, I figured I am going to work on selectively breeding them since I like snails so much. I don't think others really like or want pond and bladder snails but I'm doing it because I enjoy them. Bladder snails I have are just plain brown and the other bladder snails I have are brown with orange webbing looking spots.

- I had an awful day yesterday due to…. Organisational errors? Basically I attended a work meeting that was not intended for me (it was for senior leadership) and the person I was meant to go with was poorly so I was on my own and WAY out of my depth. I had a debrief with colleagues today about it which made me feel a lot better as I was feeling so stressed after the meeting yesterday.

- it’s children’s mental health week in the UK this week and to celebrate we had a carousel of activities today focused on wellbeing. I was making mandalas with all of the students and watched inside out (and made puppet characters) with my own class. Moments like this make me realise what I worked so hard for. there was also cake in the staff room!

- I haven’t had time to focus on leveling up my new genshin characters but I’ve been doing my dailies and using condensed resin to farm mora/exp materials. I have quite a lot saved (more than I’ve ever had) so hoping to maybe put it to use this weekend!

- I’m also playing Pokémon shining pearl and beat Fantina last night. Love that my playthrough has coincided with the new Pokémon cards on PTCGP!

• I’m grateful for this thread because it’s a positive space that’s not triggering to me when my country is currently going to hell with the current leadership. Having this space feels safe and reminds me that there are still things to be grateful for and there’s still good in the world even though it sometimes doesn’t feel like that lately. Sometimes I get sick of Facebook and any forums I’m on because it’s a collective bombardment of panic and breaking news and I just can’t handle it it makes my mental health which is already not good significantly worse. So I’m very glad this thread is here. It makes me so happy reading through all the stuff everyone is happy about

I've been making good progress on getting all the Shiny Eeveelutions in Ultra Sun! So far I have Polari the shiny Umbreon, Bubblegum the Shiny Sylveon, and Lime, who I caught today!

These were all done via Sos, and I had the shiny charm for Bubblegum and Lime. 3 down, 5 more to go! ️

☾ I crafted a bunch of the seasonal items/clothes in Pocket Camp Complete!! Also only just realized how incredible the Brake Tapper bottlecap exchange is omg… my days of desperately scrounging for Natural Essence may be over!! (no but seriously why does it seem like EVERYTHING needs Natural Essence to be crafted asdlfhjgkd)

☾ I did a little bit of personal art today! I’ve been practicing simpler chibies and I’m really satisfied with how they’ve been coming out and how fast they are to complete

☾ Watched some Youtube videos with my parents this evening, and we caught up a little more with LDShadowLady's Empires S1 series!

☾ The Valentine's Day event starts tomorrow!!
