What Are You Happy About Today?

[S.J.]

Feeling grateful today!

I got New Pokemon Snap and I've been really enjoying it. Usually I play ACNH almost every day, but for the last three days I've been playing Pokemon Snap. I still like to check on my villagers every day and give them gifts though. ❤

The Snap pictures can also be really cute which makes me smile, and you can get really silly with the editing if you get a good picture, which has provided some serious laughs. Feeling good about the little things.

I also have a pile of unopened amiibo cards. I am waiting to open them, since I have so much else I can do at the moment!

Some amiibo cards arrived in the mail from a trade I made on TBT! They were also packed very sweetly with a card.

And yeah, just feeling really grateful in my life today, not for "stuff", but other things, like people, pets, work, opportunities. ❤ I don't know what's made me sentimental today.

Edit: Also feeling excited for my first TBT event.

as per usual, i was asleep for most of today LOL but regardless, it wasn’t too bad of a day!

• today was my lovely friend @Midoriya’s birthday!! i hope you had a great day, riley!
• got 3x nook points.
• sold a few of my extra collectibles!!
• usually my grandmother is the one who gives my kitty her daily treats but today i gave them to her! it’s adorable just how excited she gets for them and in her eagerness to bring each treat closer to her, she usually winds up whacking them further away.
• was able to help my mom with something + she might finally allow us to take her to the doctor tomorrow, which is a relief since we can only do so much for her. i mean, i can get her drinks, cover her with a blanket when she’s cold, etc but i can’t make her better and i’d give anything for her to be in the hands of people who can. i hate not having her here but i just want her to receive the medical attention that she so desperately needs.

There is no greater compliment than when someone displays your artwork (that you made for them). When I see my own stuff around the forum, I get a rush of endorphins! It made me realize that I'm actually not terrible at art (or that the people here have banded together in an elaborate ruse to make me feel proud, which is... still beyond nice).
I'm motivated to do better, to improve so that I can post one of those classic "before and after" pieces. I'm living one of my childhood dreams right now, after spending so many years being a responsible / boring grownup. It's funny to me that these achievements are coming so late in life, but the moral of the story is that you can never grow too old to try new things.
Just working my way through the wishlist...

Third day in a row with NO MIGRAINES (and less anxiety).

I've been taking CBD gummies, and they're life-savers.

This will be a bit of a merge of yesterday and today, I'll try to come back later and update it as my day goes on!

-I made pizza yesterday! It was my first time making pizza and while it definitely wasn't perfect (...not me spending 45 minutes trying to get my dough into a perfect circle shape ) I'm actually really happy with how it turned out. There's some things I'll do differently next time but I'm still really happy with how it turned out.

-I beat Super Mario 3D World yesterday!! Well, the main world at least, there's a bonus worlds still but I'm sure those will be tricky too. I really struggled with the final world because I am not a skilled gamer lol and I had to rely on the immunity suit quite a bit but... I still beat it! The ending credits were so cute.

-My sewing book came today!! I am so pleased with it. I've spent the morning reading through most of it and it's so lovely. The patterns it includes are adorable and I cannot wait until the pandemic finally settles so I can get my hands on more fabric. I want to try and make a pleated circle skirt it needs quite a bit of fabric, lol. It also has some really cute bodices, other kinds of pleated skirts, patterns for a peter pan collar and a regular collar, amongst some other things. The book itself also talks about different fabrics and what kind of garments they're good for, different ways to finish seams, some basic hand stitches, ways to adjust patterns to fit better (whether that be making them smaller or bigger), and lots of other things that are really nice to know. I'm glad that I can have all this information in a book instead of constantly looking them up online because when I sew I like to just listen to music and take a break from screens but that's hard to do when I have to look up little bits of information. Plus the book has glossy pages and I love them, lol. They're not super glossy but they just feel nice to touch. And! It's a ring bound type of book (not an actual binder though so I can't move the pages around or anything) so I can fold it over completely and just look at one page without ruining the spine.

I know I already posted this in a different thread but I have to reiterate just how happy I am that I, this forum's biggest fan of Super Mario 64, actually managed to find the game CIB in amazing condition for a very reasonable price. this is probably one of the greatest purchases I've ever made (could only be topped if I bought a vintage VW station wagon or "hippie bus") and I'm so happy with it. I gotta find a place to put it so I can proudly display it for everyone to see.

I can now officially call myself Super Mario 64's #1 fan

Decided to go almost completely offline and already feel more collected.. my tooth hurts less, got to play pokemon snap for a while and have chocolate.. and its friday tomorrow ♡

 

[mocha.]

I really struggled today, I went to my morning class and then napped for the whole afternoon instead of doing work which I feel terrible about. I also haven’t managed to eat much today, or talk much.. or do much at all, really.

just wanted to post this so future me can read it back:
even when you have bad days, there is something good in each day

whether that be a cuddle from your favourite person, a cute picture of a cat, a funny Tiktok or listening to the birds chirp outside. Those are just a few things that made me happy today. I’m also happy that I was able to shower, and I’m happy about having the opportunity for a fresh start tomorrow.

hope everyone is doing well, and if you’re struggling today, tomorrow is just around the corner and you can always try again

Voted today! So I guess I'm happy to do my civic duty? Hopefully my vote will prevent some bad people getting into office I also got some house slippers because my shoes were falling apart

I just finished another drawing! I think this one turned out better (maybe not the car though ) though still a bit embarrassed sharing especially since my coloring is pretty bad too . I have been having a lot of fun though, even though my drawings don’t compare to all the beautiful digital art on here.

 

[Shellzilla_515]

I played some video games today, watched a couple of tutorials of drawing, and finished once again another car drawing. I should consider making an art thread for it, but no one is interested in cars around here.

If you're ever gonna reach the final world of the game, a HUGE challenge awaits you that will test your skills of the game. Speaking from experience (I had it on the Wii U), there was a lot of rage and fails involved with no checkpoints at all. Mess up once and you start all over from the beginning! It took me a long time until I managed to get to the end.

Tomorrow is Friday. The weekend is almost here!

But the main thing that made me really happy today was seeing the neighbors' dog while I was out walking my dog. To give a little backstory, we have a neighbor who has a lot of dogs, probably about 7 or 8, and when the weather is nice they are usually outside in pairs or small groups. So it's normal for me to go a week or two without seeing one particular dog because they rotate outside at different times. There's this one really sweet, older brindle dog that I adore, though. Whenever she sees us, she always comes hobbling over to the fence, whining and whimpering for attention. I hadn't seen her for about a month and then I noticed they got a new dog last week, so I was afraid that the worst had happened and she may have passed away. But today she was outside again and came over to the fence to greet us as usual. I was so happy to see her that I couldn't stop smiling. Is it weird to love a neighbor's dogs this much? LOL

I don’t know if I’ll even manage to get past the star world, honestly it took me ages to beat the second level to unlock Rosalina I've decided to go back and replay the earlier levels and try to find the stars/stickers I’ve missed instead!

The last level of Bowsers World stopped being fun for me and was just stressful so I think I’ll leave the bonus worlds now that I have Rosalina. Especially if they get harder *and* leave out checkpoints The second star world was tricky enough, lol.

Nope. I talk about rough collies and shelties with my mother every day. It’s not weird at all.

My boss broke down and (happy) cried because of how well our children's activity book is coming along. I'm illustrating for it, and she's seeing her characters come to life in it (bullying awareness, etc). Our meeting today ran on longer as she profusely thanked me. It made me remember why I'm doing this; not only because it's my dream job, but for what the illustrations are for.

I have such an amazing job.
