What Are You Happy About Today?

I had a lot of fun chatting and playing some Jackbox games with my S/O and our uni friends yesterday over Discord! I even managed to snag a fibbage 2 game after being in last place for rounds 1 and 2. 😆

I've been making some progress on terraforming my island in New Horizons. I still have a large chunk of land that I don't quite know what to do with, but I know I'll figure something out.
 

Quoting myself because I’m posting again sorry 😭💕

But!! @hollow finished a commission for me and I love it so much they did a phenomenal job 🥺💕 definitely something else that’s made me happy today!

I love the colours and everything about it so much plus the best part about commissioning artists is that I get to meet so many lovely people!!

@BungoTheElf @Blink. @ReeBear @Plume I'm looking at all you wonderful people too!! Amazing artists that I’m so happy I got to meet 🥰 (@mocha. you are also super sweet we just haven’t talked tons!!)

Had been expecting today to be a bad day following an awful nights sleep, early start and headache trying to sort out problems at work but from about lunchtime it's turned out to be quite good :D

Had a really relaxing bath this afternoon and used a lovely bath bomb then followed this up with a little rest and cuddles with my kitten, who often curls up under my chin, purring loudly away. Then I did some online shopping, placed a very large order of bath bombs (courtesy of my lovely grandparents who offered to transfer me the money for a large basket full of them :giggle:) and also ordered Pokemon X for my 3DS, which I'm playing more again at the moment, it's been a long time since I've played it and I no longer know where my copy is so decided to replace it as I like the game and Xerneas is one of my favourite legendary Pokemon, really looking forward to play it again! Best of all I've also found out that my grandparents are coming round next Monday, it's been about 8 months since I've seen them (the longest time in my life I've gone without seeing them) and I've missed them loads so I really can't wait:giggle:
 
I slept fairly well again last night and didn't have too much to do today. But mostly I'm happy because my husband and I got to schedule an appointment for our first doses of the COVID vaccine for later this week. I wasn't expecting to be able to get it so quickly because neither of us is part of the at risk group or front line workers, but the area I live in is very conservative and I believe a lot of people are refusing the vaccine. Oh well, it just bumps us up the line faster.
 
ps: I still love and appreciate all my friends here so much but I gotta give a shoutout to one special friend who isn't active here.


you guys might remember that the first person whom I addressed a Valentine's card to (and then later made another addressed to my friend Nessa) was my friend who used to be active here but isn't anymore. yeah I'm gonna kinda pour my heart out here if yall don't mind.

anyways, I talk to him every single day on discord and I don't think I could be happy a single day when I don't hear from him. I've gotten through some really hard points in my life because he was there to make me laugh and feel better abt myself and keep my company. it's been four years and while all my other close internet friends have kinda trailed off he stuck around. I haven't got the courage to actually say it to him yet (Im prob being kinda a bad friend lol) but ugh I just think abt everything we talk about and the interests we have in common and I just appreciate him soooo much. I don't know where I would be in my life if I hadn't met him. I really hope that someday we can meet in person and do all the fun things we have planned like trading Pokemon cards and going sight seeing and prob playing games together. I haven't even met him in person yet but I have such a huge amount of love/care for him that I can't even fully articulate it here.

I just hope he realizes that he's like my favorite person ever and I will protect him with my life 🥺 💕
 
today was a bit up-and-down but i’ve definitely got some things to be happy and thankful for!

• got to add the white, red and yellow lily + pink house collectibles to my collection!
• did quite a few ac trades today! might be a bit silly but it actually made me feel sort of productive, which was nice. :’)
• the lovely @Roxxy was kind enough to give me 5 kerokerokeroppi snacks for free!! i’m so thankful and am looking forward to using them! <3
• my amazing friend @lana. gifted me a blue pansy collectible 🥺😭. i’m so grateful to be able to add it to my collection and am so happy to have such wonderful friends in m life. 💙
 
Oh my god. The child in me is screaming right now.
I always had the dream of owning the Kyogre Version of the Gameboy Advance SP, but it's not available in my region and they are nowadays selling for incredibly prices.. so that's a big nope. And now I just saw that they finally make replacement shells from it. So I can change the shell on my GBA to be Kyogre. FINALLY. YAY!!! *-*
 
If I can't go out shopping for some 'retail therapy' then I'll just do it online.

I've been meaning to buy these for a while now, but I finally ordered some more posca markers so I hopefully have enough to draw some Zelda related stuff. I also ordered this reeeeaalllyy cool lookin colour shifting chrome polish on etsy that will come soon. It's coming pretty soon too, but it can take its time, my nails are so short and nubby, I've been constantly breaking them at work😅 But when it does come I'm so gonna put it on right away.
 
I am really happy today about, well learning how to make GIFs! :D
I just need to learn how to upload them without them going blurry 🤦‍♀️

I have been learning GraphicsGale and Godot. I also found a free 11 week course on basic coding from Harvard online. I have no idea if I will achieve this goal, but I want to make my own video game. But I am just happy to learn how to make GIFs lol as silly and simple as it sounds. I love pixel art, but GIFs makes it all the more fun. So I have alot of pixel art fun ahead of me regardless if I achieve my goal or not.
 
I'm going to brunch with a very small group tomorrow. I'm halfway vaccinated and feel a little better about it, but still keeping my distance to my best extent and mask on except to eat. I'm not sure I'll enjoy going to a restaurant since I haven't dined in a place in a year, but I can try it at least.
