What Are You Happy About Today?

Feeling extra blessed today. I never imagined that I’d meet someone as unusual as I am to the point that he understands me so well. It’s a bummer I can only see him on weekends but the time we do get means a lot to me.

We had a phone call last night and we talked about past trauma we’ve both experienced that has scarred/changed us in certain ways. It felt good to talk openly about that kind of thing and I feel like we understand each other even more so now.
 
Super happy today!! We bought my new floor and it's getting fitted in less than 2 weeks 🥰 Due to a recommendation from the fitter, I got to have laminate flooring instead of vinyl which is great since it's what I wanted from the beginning!

Also made some oat porridge with melted dark chocolate, banana, and peanut butter, my new fav oat recipe 😋
 
This morning my kitten visited the vets for a check up to see how she's recovering from last weeks op and I was really pleased to hear that they're very happy with how she's doing and she's suffering no bad effects from the surgery, we're continuing her pain meds for a few more days just to be sure but then she should be back to her normal routine and activities. During the afternoon she came and snuggled up with me and then fell asleep on my lap, it meant I was stuck in the same spot for ages but that didn't matter as we were both happy :giggle:

Also after not going away at all last year and ruling out holidays abroad during this year too I have booked my first trip abroad for next year and am going to Las Vegas end of February 2022 which I'm really excited for :D I went there a few years ago and had decided before I visited that I'd only be going once to see what it was like but I ended up having a great time and as I saw one of the hotels I'd really liked was at a good price I couldn't turn it down! Obviously I'm slightly cautious about everything that's going on but I'm hoping it will all be okay and safe 10 months from now and we're able to cancel if needed if travel abroad isn't possible then.
 
My Sanrio cards arrived! Ten days after they were sent, but thankfully they were in mint condition and arrived anyways. Extremely happy and tremendously grateful to a friend who helped me out 🥺🙏 even though she didn’t have to. Thank you does not sum up even half of my gratitude.
 
uhh... worked up the courage to play the actual piano in my house instead of just using my keyboard. i haven't played on it with other people in the house in years, so i'm very proud of myself =)

i also came out of the closet to my christian friends today (not my family, thats a whole other mess.) they seemed really cool with it so thats good!!!
both of these things are super awesome!! 🤩


since I started playing 3D World again I realized how much I ADORE Luigi's kitsune suit so I went online to find a plushie of him wearing it and I found one!! he should be here soon I'm really excited!!😍😍
 
CATEPILLARS!!! omg omg i haven't seen the kind of caterpillars you can touch in so many years! i found one in my garage and was gonna put them in a bush, but my mom pointed out that there are two nest in our plum tree so i put them back there and there are soooo many!! such little cuties i let them crawl all over my hands for a bit. there's gonna be so many butterflies, i hope i can convince my mom to get one of those butterfly growing kits cus i want them to survive!
 
my grandma passed away a year and two days ago, and i relapsed pretty severely. but i finally feel like i'm finally starting to regain some control of my life. i bought a set of new cookware and lots of "real" groceries (i've been living off of junk food + takeout) and i'll be cooking a homemade meal for myself for the first time in 6+ months. i also spent the last week cleaning up my apartment and it's finally nice and cozy. it doesn't seem like much but i really am proud of myself.
 
I wasn’t doing well earlier, but I went to dinner with my family and I‘m feeling better now after having been out of the house for awhile. It has also been two weeks now since I’ve had the first dose of the vaccine, so I should be up to 60-70% protected. My family has also started asking me about what I want to do for my birthday and to start thinking about it. Lastly, my S/O finished the hotfrog drawing I mentioned in an earlier post! :D

I got some stuff done at work today. It's still been a pretty easy week, which I'm grateful for. I started on a new book, which is always exciting. Then, I logged on to TBT and found the giveaway for Animal Crossing's 20th anniversary. So all in all, not a bad day.
 
-My mom and I got back-to-back appointments for our first dose of the covid vaccine!! It was a struggle to get them, but I'm really really looking forward to it.
-Went on a little flower collectible shopping spree! I was originally just going to get a few more white roses to temporarily fill out my current lineup, but... I saw some of the other flowers in the shop and got a little carried away. (´∀`; )ゞ In any case, they're pretty and I'm happy with them, even if I don't know what I'll do with them yet ahahah.
-The blind boxes I ordered arrived today! Not only did I get the acrylic stand I wanted, I got one of the characters I was hoping to get from the bonus pin too!! ;v; I feel super lucky.
-One of my cats charged full speed into my room, screamed at me until I picked her up and sat her on the bed, and then... instantly calmed down and just chilled out with me for a while. Not sure exactly what prompted all that, or why it seemed like it was such a dire matter to her, but it was funny and the company was nice! And then...
-...my other cat climbed up on my shoulders! He's the least-coordinated shoulder-climbing cat I've ever seen, but it's still sweet when he does it.
 
one of my favorite idols (choi bomin :)) once again replied to a message i sent him earlier today!

he's been congratulating me for major milestones in my life and it feels really nice coming from him :) i also told him that i've been worried lately and his message made me feel a lot better
 
posting a bit later than i usually do but today was pretty decent!

• redeemed my nook points for tom nook’s photo! just need to get timmy and tommy’s and i’ll be all set until new items get added if they ever do. 🥴
• finished my yard in nh!! i’m honestly pretty proud of it and am excited to share photos of it soon!
• the forums’ giveaway to celebrate ac’s 20th anniversary was a lovely surprise and i’m super excited to see which prize i’ll end up with aha. :’)
• cuddled with my kitty (as always lol) and she even slept in my room for a few hours 🥺
 
my old best friend from middle school sent me a message tonight with a photo of a letter/card i had written her for our first year friendship anniversary (really corny) and told me how she still remembers the first day we met :’) i hardly talk to her anymore but i’m very touched she still has that letter, as cringy as it is, and hasn’t forgotten about me 🥺
 
Overcame my anxiety and called the psychiatry department of our school hospital today to schedule a session I was supposed to have over a year ago (which didn't continue because of the pandemic and lockdown). I can finally breathe a little knowing I'm finally getting the professional help I deserve.
