What Are You Happy About Today?

i feel really accomplished today ! i’m a paragraph away from finishing my preacademic paper, and a mr. pbh plush that i ordered for my sister finally came c: (she loves it!!)
but i’m also really tired lately, which is forcing me to go to bed at normal times, which is good too i think??
there was a lot i needed to improve on but i handED IT IN TODAY FINALLY
 
Got 2 cats I needed in Neko Atsume (Joe DiMeowgio and Maple) :) Smol things but I had no idea about Maple and the rare guys are always a+
 
I'm super happy that the Bolts ended up winning in 5th OT against the Jackets (especially since the Jackets swept them in the playoffs last year), although I'm super tired from that game and really hope I never have to watch a team I cheer for go to 5th OT again.
 
The past couple days have been the best days I've had in ages, despite a few hiccups. Went out shopping with my mum for the first time in ages and had some good food, while also doong productive things like applying for jobs and going to the gym :)
 
My mom facetimed me today so I got to see my brothers stuck at home and they're getting so chubby <:
It was super nice to see them especially during this crisis. When Mom & Dad visit, they don't bring the boys over, but it's those calls that make me real happy 😌 and we call each other every other day anyway!
 
I actually woke up at like 8:20 today. it's a modern miracle.
also I have some motivation today to work on things I've been putting off so that's nice :>
 
Feeling better since last night, that sandwich cake piece was a bad idea lmao.

Also not too bad despite like way too many reserved books to care of at work.
 
I got my Sailor Moon palette today and it's so pigmented and buttery 🥺

I washed out my tie-dye shirts and showed them to my parents. my mom said they're cool but my dad was just like "... well that's different."

but you know what? i don't need his approval. these shirts really didn't turn out quite like I had expected but I still love them and nobody else is gonna tell me otherwise. my dad could call my shirts a piece of crap but as long as I love them it doesn't even matter.


it feels nice to not have to rely on my dad's opinion of me.
 
I got to go Swimming with my family. We floated around, played some games, and just talked with each other.
 
I did a Kahoot with a gc and was pretty close to being in the top 5 🤩 considering I had to rejoin at question 20/94 and didn’t know half the answers
 
My work is in the best shape it's been in months and I feel good about how much I've done recently. Now I won't be so stressed about leaving things for a week when I take my vacation.

Also, getting excited for my week off from work next week and the TBT Fair! 😛
 
My mom is the most positive person in the world that I know, and I would think highly of her even if she wasn’t a parent of mine. For the past half year or so she has been dealing with a type of cancer and it has been tough. I didn’t mention it until now because I didn’t want anyone to get worried. Ever since finishing school, however, I’ve been taking care of her and things for her while working, and I honestly feel like it has had a positive impact on both of us. Whenever I feel frustrated like I did earlier today, helping her out and stuff allows me to look outside myself and see someone who is fighting probably harder than I am. It‘s honestly one of the big reasons why the pandemic and everything hasn’t been a major blow to my confidence or happiness. Not saying it’s a good thing, but it inspires me even more to go above and beyond and to want to be there for and help others. My favorite sports team was losing today as well and I was feeling pretty crumby, but they came back to win it. Never stop helping others and never give up on what you want to accomplish in life. If you don’t, there‘s no telling what you can do.
