What Are You Happy About Today?

I woke up early to prepare food for my mother. At the same time, a tv channel was airing classic Spongebob Squarepants episodes which gave me nostalgia since I haven't watched them in years. I even said a couple of quotes as they were being said (my favourite was from Patrick saying "WEE-WOOH WEE-WOOH WEE-WOOH!). The episodes I watched were Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, Pickles, Hall Monitor, and Jellyfish Jam. I even recognize some moments where people used them for memes lol.

Here are two songs I heard from Jellyfish Jam:
Stadium Rave A - Mark Governor, Glenn Nishida

Jelly Fish Jam - Brad Carow
 
I was trapped for several weeks staying up all night on some days and sleeping too much the ones after that. It was a vicious cycle. Well, last night I decided to prioritize my health and took my night medicine and went to sleep. I had to reschedule something today because of it, but it was so worth it to actually feel rested than like a zombie. Not something to be overly happy about, but it’s a step in the right direction. 😅 :)
 
texted my uncle back and forth for prob about two hours yesterday, cause I'm so fed up with dealing with my dad and going home for Summer is only gonna make that worse. after I graduate we're gonna go on a trip to Gatlinburg TN (I haven't been there in prob at least a decade) so I'm already looking forward to that, but then he offered to let me stay at his house in Alabama w him and his partner this Summer :eek: :eek: :eek:
(I say partner cause I don't think they're married but they've been together forever, he's a nice guy though I've never met him before)

as a lot of you may know my dad is a conservative republican and dealing with him on a daily basis is such a struggle because he tends to envelop his whole life into biased political views. he's also really difficult to deal with because he can be very rude and controlling, and he's never honestly apologized for any of the **** that he's done. My uncle is a liberal and he can easily see why I wouldn't be able to deal with my dad. he's offered me, my mom, and my brother a temporary place to stay in the past and I finally want to take him up on the offer. I think getting some decent time away from home (I mean away from home, not just 35 miles more like 850 miles) will be good for me.
he's also offered to let me stay for the year, depending on what I decide to do. I won't be going back to school until at least Fall 2022 so I've got some time. I could potentially work with them at their job, if they need the help. meanwhile this Summer I plan on working towards auditioning for a grad school, and in the meantime I can do stuff at their house (they're apparently planning on doing some home renovations so that's fun).

only thing I'm worried about is the fact that I'm really sensitive to heat, and it gets really hot in southern Alabama. he said they've got good air conditioning though (I guess you need it if you live down south lmao). we'll just have to melt walking from the car to the grocery store 😂 😂
besides it's not like I haven't spent a summer down south before. a long time ago we spent a summer going between my great aunt's house in Mississippi and my cousin's house in Louisiana. now I haven't been down south since Summer 2011 so it might be a little jarring but I'm actually really excited to go and finally spend some quality time with family, especially since I don't get to see my uncle from there very much ☺
 
I haven't had the best day but here's to focusing on the positives!

-I went grocery shopping this morning! I woke up early and was able to get there 10 or so minutes after opening. The store was nice and quiet and even though they didn't have tons of sales I was able to get the items I needed! Strawberry applesauce is the best applesauce and it's been sold out the last couple times I've went 😭 I was so happy to see it in stock, lol. My cashier was also so nice!! She definitely helped brighten my day. I'm generally pretty good in the grocery store but once I end up in aisles that have tons of people, I'm waiting in line to check out, or I'm packing up bags I start to feel pretty tense and anxious. My cashier was super sweet though and she helped me pack up my groceries even though that isn't something they have to do.

-I know I mentioned it yesterday but it's still making me so happy today to see my little avatar that @Plume drew. I'm even happier to see that she added this little chibi style to her shop. I'm on my laptop right now as well so seeing my signature from @hollow is also making me smile!

- @Velo is an actual gem. 😭 They date traded with me last week to get my prismatic egg in the right spot and they date traded with me earlier so that I could shuffle my roses around a bit! I'm still on the hunt for some 2019 and older common roses but I'm a lot happier with how my lineup looks right now

-My cats are so cute and I love them so much. 🥺 They've been little bugs today though, picking on each other. Nothing massive but Gracie's just being a bully 😂 She'll come and sit right behind my other cat. She won't touch her she'll just sit (or crouch) right by her to make her move 😭 She's like that kid who says, "I'm not touching you, I'm not touching you, I'm not really doing anything because I'm not touching you,". Sometimes she'll flop down in her spot after she's left too ksdgkdhghd. Usually when she wants to be in the sunny spots :')
 
Been feeling really good today. Been having a lot of fun trying on different outfits at harv's studio in ACNH and setting up a small area in the room like a stage or movie set. Roscoe finally asked to leave and am extremely excited about going island hopping tomorrow (I could tt and do it tonight); I missed island hopping and meeting new villagers so much 😭; game please don't have a dreamie show up since I want to cycle for a bit longer. Also working on another island journal entry :).
 
After work I got a Chai drink and went shopping at the craft store. I got alot of nice stuff like charms, boxes to store my growing paint horde, paint supplies, thicker paper for my Posca markers, canvases, more stuff.

I also got a roll up pencil organizer so now my pencils are -hopefully, the scale charts don't seem to be consistent- organized! No more of them being in a jumble in a plastic container, I tried to organize them based in how dark the lead gets.

Also I got a new plant, a tradescantia c: Hopefully I don't kill it.

And! I finally found a spray bottle that MISTS rather them a spray. I needed one to mist my plants, esp these recently new airplants I got. Now I can properly mist my airplants and also my succulent/Christmas cati since some of my succulents like to be misted.
 
fell asleep yesterday before i could post. 🤣

@Dunquixote sent me a very cute photo of their cat sleeping + offered me some supportive words in regards to my island journal!
• my sanrio amiibo cards finally arrived!! they even came with a free toby sticker. 🥺💖
• cuddled with my kitty + she slept in my room for quite a while! she was literally,, so clingy yesterday? xjsmsk
 
I had my hair cut by an actual hairdresser! It was sorely in need of it - I chopped some off myself during lockdown, but I wanted to go from long hair to shoulder length and I didn't trust myself to cut quite that much... ^_^;
I'm really happy with how it looks.

As well as that, my latest Colourpop order arrived <3

I bought my tickets to see the Demon Slayer: Mugen Train movie today! Don't judge me on the dub. I just really like Zenitsu and Tanjiro's English voices a lot lol
 
the ps1 we got works so i'm gonna try one of the games that came with it (gran turismo 2, i think it's a racing game?). it came with i think tomb raider 2 or 1 and final fantasy 7. my mom's probs gonna keep tomb raider, but idk what to do with ff7 since neither of us have ever cared for those games. maybe i'll give it a shot, but i know it's not my cup of tea so there's a good chance i probably won't like it.
