What Are You Happy About Today?

My work tracks our employee performance by 3 different metrics (I work in sales) and every week these numbers get posted, along with a shoutout to who did the best in each one of the 3 categories for that week. I was the best for all 3 last week ☺ so that was a really nice feeling.
 
I got to chat a bunch with a good friend last night who I haven't spoken to in a while, used the last of my Christmas gift money and now I've got some more merch on the way, and there's a double rainbow in my New Leaf town today! ^^
 
Reconnected with a former professor on Facebook; we caught up a bit and exchanged photos of our cats (my S/O's cat--same thing).

My S/O got me a code for a shiny Toxtricity from EB Games--who can say no to a free shiny Pokémon? 😆
 
I got 2 mini dolls put together, and they came out cute.

This is Charlie the Bear. I got his head to put on a spare bjd body. He kind of looks like an old jointed bear. I forgot to order eyes, so they're coming later. I'll make him a new outfit, too.

This is Nora. Her head came from the body Charlie has, but it didn't suit her face, so I found this little body. It was a challenge to get her head to fit, but I couldn't be happier with how she turned out. It's such fun when things work out better than you'd hoped.
 
A Canadian drugstore (Shoppers) is having a bonus points redemption going on at the moment and today’s the last day. I was debating on ordering some things but held off and I’m glad I did! They got the Mario 3D World game in stock so I ordered that along with some new body wash, a tinted lip balm, and a pink sparkly eyeshadow for a little over $17 🥰

Wait, Shoppers sells video games? I've been to one a good number of times, but I never see them have a video game section lol.

Also, I've been trying to draw cars from the side view lately. It's really wonky, but I'm still having fun doing so, especially since it's one of the things I like! Once I get a little more comfortable drawing from the side view, I'll move on to another perspective. It's refreshing to venture the new horizons in drawing.

They do! It’s always a pretty small section and honestly I think it varies from store to store. With the Switch games in particular they seem to only get the Nintendo franchises (Mario, Zelda, etc) but they also tend to get the games pretty late after release.

They recently redid their online store though so now you can order some electronics (and some other bits and bobs) online instead of just makeup like it was before!
 
Feeling really productive today! I am also very fit at the moment, almost ready for the races held in my town in a few weeks time which keeps me motivated to keep pushing. Then I get rewarded at the end of the week with having a solid day off to spend with family.
 
I'm happy that I got up this ****ing early in the morning. Also, I used my microwave as a timer as I was waiting for my instant noodles to be ready. I thought to myself, "Alright, let's see what I can get done in three minutes." Well, I picked off the items laying on the ground and put it in the laundry bag. Then I restarted the microwave timer (with my instant noodles taken out) and set it to five minutes. I brushed my teeth. Set it to another five minutes - washed my face and applied acne gel. I guess this sort of method works out for me in terms of getting **** done.
 
Today is the first day in months I’ve felt like my normal self, I think that maybe my meds are working? I managed to clean my flat (which is something I’ve not done for an embarrassingly long amount of time), and I even put makeup on (again, not bothered to do that in ages either). I really hope I feel the same tomorrow because it was nice having some motivation today :)
 
My mom came home from some out-of-town business early, I got a couple free hours that I used to play some video games, and the merch I ordered arrived super early! It wasn't supposed to get here until Monday at the earliest, so that was a really lovely surprise.
