What Are You Happy About Today?

I finished my first sewing project using a sewing machine! It's the most basic little bag, two squares sewn together...but I'm happy that I figured out how to use the machine. It wasn't difficult at all! I see now that the technical stuff will be the real difficulty for me.

I'm using the bag as a liner for my leather mini backpack. c:
 
I had a ton of work to get through today and I skipped all my breaks and worked through part of my lunch, but I got it all done! I'm relieved that I was able to do everything and not have to carry some of it to tomorrow, because tomorrow is going to be another busy day.

I also got past a difficult part of my poem that was stumping me.
 
I am once again apologizing for like/love bombing these posts lol.
  • Cleaned the washroom. It's clean again!
  • Played Okami HD for a few hours. At times, it felt like I was playing a Zelda game and I'm totally fine with that. Also, there were a couple of moments where I probably could've gotten a game over, but managed to get through them in one go. First, there was a path that was slowly crumbling into the poisonous pits so I made a run for it. Secondly, there was a two minute time limit that I had to deal with going down a treacherous river with some people on a log. My reflexes were being tested there with no time to breathe despite using the celestial brush aaaaah. Thankfully, I got through with six seconds to spare. I don't want to imagine what would happen if I didn't. Even one of the characters thought I was a goner for cutting it close lol.
  • Did some basic shading practice. It's pretty shady if you ask me (pun intended), but progress is progress! I'm thinking of making an art thread for feedback.

today was a good day! i’m currently kicking myself for not doing something that i intended to do today, and my grandmother made a hurtful comment earlier, but otherwise today was pretty good! ☺

• chelsea and chevre gave me their photos in nh 🥳😭!!!!!!!! i also added a new clothing item to my catalog.
• my room was actually cold for a bit earlier today, which was unexpected but very nice! i love when my room gets cold, especially in the summer. ^^
• a new the suicide squad trailer dropped!!! i haven’t been excited for a movie in a long time, but i can’t wait for this one. august 6th is taking forever to get here. 😫
• forgot to include something in my fanfic request from yesterday, but i actually stepped out of my comfort zone and edited my request, and thankfully the author was super nice about it and said it was fine since they hadn’t begun writing it yet. i honestly love their writing style, so i’m excited to see what they come up with!
• cuddled with my kitty.

i might actually go do what i meant to do earlier, since it’s not too late here yet and i don’t want to be kicking myself all night. 😅

edit: i did it, so we can add showering to the list of things i’m happy about. ☺️

It was my last day at work yesterday before my transfer, I shed some tears but I’m also excited about the future! 😊

Yesterday:
- got a lovely card from work and some gift vouchers. Totally unexpected!
- went round to my friends after work for pizza. I dropped off the print I made for her a while back and also had a nice catch up in the sun 😊 she also got me a leaving card and a gorgeous bracelet which was so sweet ❤

Today:
- managed to have a lie in this morning which was desperately needed after 3 v early starts!
- spending the day doing a deep clean and packing
- popping round to see my friend later to drop off a print and also meet her kitten 🥺 can’t wait!!
 
got to voice call with my girlfriend 😌 we hang out a lot but actually speaking to each other in vc isn't something that we do often and even though i have a hard time communicating verbally sometimes it was still a really nice time!!!

& we were doing dynamax adventures in pokemon for date night and i finally got a shiny from one. was not the suicune i've been aiming for for 8 months but it was still my first with the 1/25 odds so despite my awful luck that was nice ^-^ good start to the day
 
My coats are on their way! I wondered first when they were going to be sent, but I got an email from some "Ben" and it took me way too long to figure out it was one of the dudes from that store lol. That store usually don't ship with Parcel2Go/DPD so I got a bit confused but, ey.

First of all, I'm so happy to see people getting job offers and/or calls for interviews! 🥳 That's some serious confirmation/synchronicity considering that just yesterday, in fact, I also got a call for an interview for this Monday!! 💫 I haven't gotten a serious job offer in a while, so this is pretty big for me! I've been trying to keep my nerves at bay, and I wasn't sure if I should vent/write about this online. But I would love for this to manifest, so I'm just gonna put it out there, and hopefully release some tension in the meantime. 🙏
 
I got to go to the craft store and buy copic markers

I know I spend quite a bit (and post that I go out shopping alot) but they were FINALLY on sale. Copic markers at the one craft store go on sale literally once or twice a YEAR. They hardly ever go on sale at the other craft store, and even when they do, it's the packs of 6, never ever a single marker. I don't always want a big expensive pack.
 
I had a decent day at work, nothing too crazy happened and I got some positive feedback on a meeting I facilitated. Since I hate facilitating and public speaking, that made me feel really good. I guess I hid my nerves pretty well.

I finished reading a good book and I also finished the first draft of the poem I've been working on. I still need to make some revisions, but it's been such a long time since I've written a more lengthy poem, so just getting the first draft done is something I'm proud of.
