What Are You Happy About Today?

I was more productive at work than I thought I would be today. I had a bunch of meetings and had to leave for a few hours for an appointment, but I still got some work done and my queue is looking better than it has in a very long time. I have a deadline of two more weeks to get it completely cleaned up and, after today, I'm feeling like that my be manageable.

I also had a good chiropractor visit and rehab session. The only bad part is that the doctor wants me to come for rehab twice a week for a while, which means more time off work. But hopefully I can work it out because my sessions are really helping and I want to continue to improve.
 
First of all, I want to apologize for flooding notifications of some users for liking their posts on this thread. I had to play catch up since I haven't posted here in a few days lol.
  • An official Formula 1 podcast was released earlier today featuring former NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon! It's the same person who I've quoted in my signature below lol. Anyway, it was nice hearing that he's also a fan of the sport and his perspective. Apparently, he did have a small taste of F1 back in 2003 and explained what it felt like compared to NASCAR. Here's the podcast if you ever want to hear it.
  • Finished a car drawing of a 1998 Subaru Impreza 22b.
  • Played a little bit of ACNH today talking to my villagers for a bit, bought stuff from the Able Sisters (only to sell them shortly after haha), and did a photoshoot for Reese and Cyrus which lasted under five minutes. Man, they're easily satisfied with my interior decorating.
  • Cooked some chicken and rice with mushrooms with my mother. It was our first time trying out the recipe and it tasted really good despite the chicken looking a little burnt.
  • I listened to a lot of music today.
  • Did a small doodle of my OC for a small practice on dynamic poses. Seems like practicing drawing hands in the last few days helped made it a little better to look at.
 
An artist I’ve been following is going to pick one art request. I’m excited even though chances are that I won’t win, plus I messed up by accidentally quote retweeting (i undid it). I apologized so hopefully I still have a chance. I like her art a lot but a lot of her art (when working on it I think?) seems to be hidden for patreon members only. I can’t wait to see what she picks even if I don’t win. I hope she does a Fire Emblem pair. 😊

I’m drawing right now and am kinda happy with how it is turning out. The armor and the designs look like a bit of a mess though and then there is the eraser marks 😅. I still am having fun though.
 
Been really craving Thin Mints (the girl scout cookie) lately, and they don't sell 'em over here, so I tried making my own. I ran out of chocolate to dip the biscuits in halfway through, and I didn't like how that first batch turned out. Yesterday I got chocolate candy melts instead of baking chocolate and they turned out much better! Still needs more peppermint though.
Also happy I got Klee in Genshin.
 
-My older cat was in an unusually playful mood today! ^^ She also cuddled with me for a good while.
-Went back to a coloring book I've been going through and finally finished the page I've been working on! I've started on the next page as well—I've almost completed the whole book; there's only a few pages left at this point. It was very relaxing and I love the glitter gel pens I've been using. ✨
 
My replacement New Nintendo 3DS XL charger is going to be delivered today. My charger broke like a year and a half ago and I never got around to getting another one since I’ve been preoccupied with my Nintendo Switch, so I’m excited because there’s a lot of good games on the 3DS I still want to keep playing :)
 
It's a beautiful day, my kids are almost done coughing, and I'm going to treat us to ramen and sushi for lunch.

Also spoke to an ex coworker yesterday and gave some useful advice and encouragement. I really enjoy mentoring other girls in science stuff, so it feels nice.

And I am happily planning a beach vacation; thank goodness we live in a state with beaches (even if it's a murky, jellyfish-infested fiasco).
