What Are You Happy About Today?

-I set aside a good chunk of my afternoon to painting my egg for the contest and I had a lot of fun with it! It gave me a chance to try out some paints I've had for a while now too.
-Missed a late-night livestream last night because I was asleep, but I've been catching up with it little-by-little throughout the day! The nice part about catching up with livestreams later is that I can pause whenever and I don't have to worry about missing anything. ;v;
 
I've finally found the magic solution to keep my hair styled long after other products would have failed on me. I did this about 24hrs ago; it has survived filming under hot lights, cooking in a steam-filled kitchen, drinking with the boys, and a full night of tossing and turning in bed and it's still standing. 😂

My mother and I realized that we will both be fully vaccinated by May. My birthday is a week after Mother's Day, so we generally combine it into a Girls' Day - lunch, window shopping, sitting down on the beach, stuff like that. Other than when she drove me to my hand surgery in October, I haven't seen her in a year and a half.

We had planned for me to grab a pizza or something and go to her place, and just sit out on the deck. She texted me this morning, saying that she'd rather come down my way. She wants me to grab some of my dolls, she'll bring her camera, and we'll go around town and take some pictures - the park, the beach, some wooded areas, etc. Then we'll go to a restaurant that has outdoor seating, right on the water, for lunch. I can't wait!
 
been worrying about my project for History cause I have to read a lot and do a bunch of research before I can even start writing, and then I have to be careful not to accidentally plagiarize the paper in my supreme exhaustion.

luckily though I got the debate statement pretty much written last night, so I'll edit and submit that tonight and use it as a reference for the bigger paper 😌
 
Ironically enough, I was about to post about getting my first COVID vaccine shot today when I realized someone had already made a thread for that. :ROFLMAO:

Other than that though I had a great day at work and a delicious lunch as well! Have been having all kinds of good days lately. Hopefully this continues leading up to my birthday. :D
 
I'm happy that i'm pretty sure i don't even have stage fright because at school the student council started playing crusin' for a bruisin' and surf's up at lunch from teen beach movie back to back, and me being a disney channel nerd started dancing the choreography to both the songs by myself.
i'm just happy that i'm proud of myself for doing that. 2 years ago i would have never thought of doing that. i'm cured lol

I know we live in different countries but I'm still curious as to what brand this is. One day I would like to get a haircut similar to yours, shaved off sides, hair on top and spikey, but I would need a good product that can actually keep my thin fine hair up. Also you look so good!



Today my posca markers finally came in the mail, after being delayed. Idk what is up with the local mail lately but this is my second package that got delayed. Atleast they're near so I can get to drawing with browns, peaches and pinks.
 
I got so much stuff done today:

I paid off and cancelled one of my dad's credit cards.
I called Comcast and hopefully (fingers crossed) finally got them to properly update the card info on my mom's account so I can cancel my dad's other credit card.
I took my mom to get her new checking account set up with my bank so now I can manage her bills online.
I went through a bunch of my parents' mail and sorted it so I can take care of the priority stuff first.

It was also nice just spending the afternoon with my mom even if we did only work on a bunch of financial stuff. She also got a package in the mail today that she had ordered for me before Christmas. It's an adorable figurine of an elephant mama and baby holding trunks and it says "Never Forget I Love You".

Oh, and also my craft eggs arrived today so I can start working on my submission for the TBT event this Friday.
 
• got pashmina’s photo in nh!!
• went island hopping and replaced pashmina with freya! within the last year, i’ve had all 3 of the snooty wolves on my island but i’m definitely not complaining!
• did a lot of decorating in nh, too and actually completed my basement! it’s honestly so, so pretty and i’m proud of myself! my upstairs room, park area and backyard are close to being done as well!
• came up with an idea for the egg decorating contest! i’ve been stewing on a few ideas for the last couple days but i’m definitely going with this one! hopefully no one else will have done it by the time i get started on it. >_<
• and of course,, i cuddled with my cat lol. i mean,, did the day really happen if i didn’t cuddle my cat? xD
 
-I made pancakes this morning! They turned out pretty well, especially since I thought the batter looked a little off. I got to have some raspberries with them and it was really nice 🥰

-I started playing Dragon Quest Builders 2 again! I’ve had it for a while but I didn’t have tons of time to play games when I was working full time. Then animal crossing came out so it’s kind of been on the back burner for a while. But I picked it up again today and it is a lot of fun! Super easy to lose track of time while playing it

-It was nice and chilly here today. I’m not ready for hot summer weather so I’m definitely enjoying these last few cooler days we’re having! My favourite weather is the kind where I can be outside in either a thick sweater or light jacket and that’s what I was able to do today 🥰

you cat sounds like an absolute sweetheart 🥺. So glad you have a kitty to give you love and comfort.Pets are the best! 🥰 I’m really happy to hear you having fun as well! :)

I’m really happy and feeling less tired than earlier. It’s nice to be posting again and reading everyone’s opinions, seeing their designs and fun screenshots. I just hope I didn’t make someone(s) I messaged mad or annoyed ><.

I told my mom about my anxiety with moving the the possibility of going to disney world sometime after everyone is vaccinated. she listened (i think) and i got her to agree to consider letting me stay home if i don’t feel mentally healthier by then and in exchange i will try harder to try to work over my fear of leaving the house, crowds, being around my dad and dealing with his lash outs untreated anxiety.
 
I got back about an hour ago from hanging out with some friends. Met two new people there, and we all watched "Godzilla vs. Kong." I thought the movie was totally radical. I don't think I've ever watched a Godzilla or a King Kong movie before, so this was my very first. It was so fun! Had a lot of laughs, and it wasn't awkward at all - even if I hung out with two random strangers. We all just enjoyed each other's company. Had fun, all the while being totally sober. (For me, at least LOL. I need to be wary about drinking since I'm on antidepressants.)

And earlier today, I had fun with the "cat man", as I like to call him. He's one of the faculty members here that always feeds and takes care of the cats on campus. Lovable guy. Very hippie dude. I was able to beat him once today while we were playing the card game, "Spades." That's twice I've won against him lmfao. I can't wait to play basketball with him tomorrow!

Wig by Lush. According to the container it's a "hair trainer". It's unfortunately not readily available to purchase—it is a product the CEO specifically designed to train his own hair to stay in place during lockdown—but I'm hoping positive response to it will encourage them to release it properly. That picture above was 24hrs after originally styling it, so it had wilted somewhat, but it was like this (see below) nearer the beginning. This product is perfection - hair still feels quite nice to the touch too! Also, thank you!

I've got my new phone today. I really wanted a better camera on my phone before the birth of my first child (well, still some time to go, but shh).. so I've got myself the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro. LOVE IT!!! Also the color on the back is so pretty, there is no way I will hide it with a ugly case :mad:

Also, I find it funny to say that I changed from the.. Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite to the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro. That's a mouth full :D
 
Most of this was actually yesterday but I didn't get round to posting it:

  • It was my dads birthday and my sister came round in the morning to drop presents off, I've only seen her a handful of times in the last few months when we've met up for walks but with lockdown and her long hours as a nurse we hardly ever get any time so it was lovely to get to see her for a few hours and catch up in the sun
  • Also found out my sister was managed to get the same week off work as me in June so we're planning to go away for a bit together, when we'd planned this last year we were going to go on holiday abroad but now we're just going to stay in the UK and just get a couple of nights away somewhere, maybe to a spa or somewhere, so can't wait to get some quality sister time :giggle:
  • My parents and I went to visit family friends in the evening for a takeaway curry and some drinks in order to celebrate dads birthday, was lovely seeing them and we had a great night. They've also recently got a new puppy (unfortunately their lovely previous dog passed away from old age last year) and he was adorable and really friendly, he's a cockapoo which they chose because they love my one so it will be really nice when we can take them on walks together

Also got a pleasant surprise when I got up this morning and received a parcel in the post from my 'Fairy' Godmother, she's sent me some homebred rocky road, she's a great baker and my favourite thing is her rocky road, but for easter it also has some Cadbury Mini Eggs in it. Think it's all going to get eaten very soon 😋
