What Are You Happy About Today?

Got off of work way quite early today for a Friday, usually I get off later but today I was able to leave at 12 instead of 4 or 5. I did some quick shopping at the craft store and got more pouring paint colours. Had sushi for lunch and now I'm snuggling with my doggo.
 
I'm happy that today was an easy last day of work for the week and also a poutine day for me!

@MoonlightAbsol did a drawing for me that turned out beautifully! It was supposed to be a freebie but I had to send them a tip; I think I was unclear what I wanted since I gave them a couple different refs to pick from so I hoped make up for that and show that I appreciated it (I hope I sent enough; still not sure what a good tip is for art).

I really want copic markers now (and still look into digital art eventually). An artist I follow on twitter uses them and makes such gorgeous FE3H fan art.

I didn’t get much done but I had a good day. I am currently looking up 3D shapes and am practicing drawing some. Also trying to get some screenshots in my new FE3H playthrough. I struggle with the pause and moving the camera.

Art really has been helping put me in a good mood :).
 
Today wasn't a bad day. I was supposed to take my mom to an appointment this afternoon, but that got changed so I was able to move my own rehab appointment from tomorrow morning to today. That means I can sleep in tomorrow. Yay!

It also meant that I had more time to work in the afternoon. Nobody bothered me because I wasn't supposed to be there anyway so I was able to get a lot accomplished and I'm really getting my queue in good shape. Only a few more items to clear out next week hopefully.

Also, my eye was really bothering me the past few days and I think it was causing a really bad headache that I had yesterday. But today it's starting to feel better and the headache is also subsiding.
 
  • Today did not feel extremely hot!
  • Played a little bit of ACNH and Gran Turismo 5 today.
  • Did some squat exercises.
  • Cleaned up the fryer and cooked food while my family had to do go out for a few hours.
  • Did a small bit of animation practice. It's pretty basic to get a better understanding of it, but I love seeing the magic unfold.
 
So when I came back to TBT in 2018, I quickly befriended @MapleSilver , and we talked about Xenoblade Chronicles a lot (the first one) because I still hadn’t beat it at the time. We made a lot of jokes and had good times while I was playing it, and then that Christmas I finally beat it. Fast forward several years and I finally purchased Xenoblade Chronicles 2 for the Switch! I have another offline friend that has played it before and praises it, and from everything I’ve heard about it I’m literally so excited that I’m about to play it for the first time. I may be centuries late, but better late than never! :D
 
It is official - I was finally awarded my degree :D I was worried that some paperwork might have fallen through the system but it didn't! I can finally close the academic chapter of my life wheee I'm proud that I managed to stay on track to graduate in 4 years even when I was totally lost during my freshman and sophomore year ^ ^

I also got a callback for a second round of interview at this company I really wanna work at.
 
I've had a lovely week away with my sister, we'd planned to go abroad together last year but never got the chance with everything going on so while we both had this week off work we decided to take a city break in the UK and spent some nights in Bath. The area is really pretty and we had a great time exploring the city, doing some shopping, travelling a little further afield to explore some caves and enjoying some fun nights out in the evening. Due to the restrictions over the last year and as we don't live together it's been hard to find a lot of time to catch up in person so it was great to finally get together to do something and catch up.

Returned home from my break yesterday afternoon and while it's always a little sad when a holiday comes to an end I'm happy to be able to catch up with the rest of the family and all the pets, I got lovely cuddles from my youngest cat this morning which was lovely. Also not back at work till Tuesday so I have a nice few days left to relax at home and enjoy the nice weather.
