What Are You Happy About Today?

I told my friend im thinking of applying at a university in Michigan for a master's in piano performance and he's like "bruh come to Michigan it's awesome here" and i love hearing that. if I'm accepted I'll be going to school pretty close to where he lives.

also he's coming to ohio soon and I prob won't get to see him but I'm still so happy abt that hdueiwbsh ;;w;;
 
Today was pretty chill! I made some sales, which I'm very happy about. I also finished watching Markiplier's At Dead of Night series with my mom this morning, and then we took turns playing the new season of Fall Guys together. Currently, I've got a livestream on in the background and I've started work on my next embroidery floss bracelet.
 
The weather was so nice and warm today. It made walking my dog more enjoyable. I also got some things done that have been needing to be done for a while now, including calling the Social Security Administration about my brother's payee application to find out what's been holding it up. Hopefully, now that I have more information we can finally make some progress because he's been without any money for almost two months now and it's a huge burden for my mom and myself.
 
fell asleep last night so didn’t get a chance to post. >_< yesterday was sort of a low day for me but some nice things still happened!

• went island hopping in nh and unexpectedly invited cleo! she’s super cute and i’m excited to give her a chance. :’)
• added the white rose collectible to my collection!
 
my birthday was way better than i thought it would be, it's the first one i've enjoyed in like 7 years i think
i got some lovely gifts and wonderful birthday wishes, which really made my day 😊💕

also i saw the new story of seasons trailer and it looks amazing so now i'm even more excited to play it than before 😁💫
 
To be honest, I kept looking at this thread over the past few days wanting to post something but feeling like it wasn’t the right time. What’s wrong with me? There’s never a wrong time to be happy. 😂

Anyway, I had a great first day at my new job and learned a lot and also met a few new faces, which is fun. I was really missing that connection with other people. Just to feel more like myself (I’m an ambivert). Then I got home and have the rest of the day to do whatever I want. My mom always reminded me when I was feeling down that attitude is latitude, and it really is true. :)
 
I had brunch inside of a place I love going to with 3 other people. I’m so happy I was able to go. It was my first time in the place in so long. Then, I took a nap and accidentally slept two hours or so.
 
Today's been a lovely day, all things considered! Woke up feeling pretty gross and grumpy but I'm ending the day on a much brighter note. 🥰

-For starters let's talk about collectibles! I was able to get my lineup filled with pink and white rose and I'm so pleased. I absolutely adore the colours and because they're all new they won't interfere with my birthstone line up. Now I can swap between this line up, or having my roses & sheep out with my birthstones, or just having a row of roses with my birthstones! Also in regards to collectibles @Dio is absolutely amazing and was able to get me a blue house for my friend @Saylor!! She was really kind and gifted me the sheep plushie I have so I really wanted to try and get a house for her. I'm so happy with how everything worked out. 🥰

- @Roxxy has also been so amazing and definitely contributed to my day getting brighter! She helped me get my hands on all the Sanrio items and they make me so happy. I love all the furniture and the outfits so much. I have them displayed in my house right now but I think I'll put some pieces outside! They're so cute aaah.

-My nails are holding up so well!! Seems trivial but when I was working my first job a few years ago my nails would chip constantly because I worked with kids. Playing with toys, opening up craft things, hand washing, dishes, etc. they chipped all the time. Then with my last job working with kids we just weren't allowed to paint our nails at all. But one bright side to unemployment has been getting to paint them again! And gel nail polishes work so much better than traditional ones. They dry a lot quicker and that was always a tricky spot for me - I'd ruin my nails before they even dried, lol. And the colours just stick better than regular polishes do!

-Our tulips are coming back!! We didn't ever actually plant them, whoever lived in this house before us did and I'm so grateful for them, lol. I don't have a green thumb whatsoever and it feels like all the plants that we've tried to grow have withered away but the tulips! The tulips come back every year and I love them. The weather was so nice today I spent some of the day outside and it was lovely getting to see them start to grow back.
 
Yooo after work today I walked to the craft store and got TRANSFER PAPER. I actually needed it yesterday for a drawing I was working on but I found out I didn't have any, even thou I thought I bought some. I made do yesterday and finished the drawing but I think this paper will make things easier in the future. And because it's a craft store and I had some extra time, I bought things in sale like wall art, washi tape and decorative plant pots.

Also my parents got me some more plant saucers so I can have more saucers to water my plants in.
 
Kinda posting prematurely for what will brighten up my day later (it's ~1am here atm), but I have the final one of my set of mock tests today. Since I had both of my other tests on monday, I will have thursday and friday to myself!
 
This morning when I was opening the windows, I saw one of the neighbors' cats in the yard, rolling around in the leaves. ;v; It was super adorable. Also, the birds in the area have finally noticed the birdfeeder my mom put up! They're fun to watch, and so are my cats' reactions to them—they're both terribly frustrated by all the lovely birds they can't have.
 
Finally getting out of this existential dread I've been in for the past few days. I was worried this was going to be the start of something way worse so really glad it seems to be going away now.
 
I successfully fixed one of my American girl dolls! Her limbs were really loose like dangling out of the socket and I was able to tighten them and also I wiped her with a mr clean sponge and got a bunch of stains off of her and a few other dolls. A bunch of my dolls had what looked like pink paint or nail polish spots on them, but I was able to remove most of it. Tightening the limbs was pretty easy too. The only hard/frustrating part was putting all the stuffing back in the doll. I wasn’t sure it would all fit. I also had some trouble getting the head back on, but my mom helped. It was super fun and I have 3 more dolls scheduled for “surgery” whenever I can get some hair elastics to do this again.
 
I finally managed to get a new closet in my study room to replace the old one. It took me and my family the whole morning to assemble it together, but felt nice since it opened up slightly more space. It also gave my arms a little bit of workout so that could be another reason why it made me happy.

I watched a video on YouTube on how to drive faster in circuit racing. It provided an interesting insight so it’s something I could apply in racing games and feel good about getting quicker times!

Lastly, while it was more of something I’ve done yesterday, I’m getting even more comfortable drawing circles, including ovals. Heck, I’m starting to have a little fun drawing them!
