- Me, my mother, and my sister to go to the park for a little bit of exercise. We did a little bit of biking and badminton, even though it was a little bit windy at the time.
- While we were at a park, a person just came up to me to have a conversation about things in general. Aside from my family members, it felt really good starting a face to face conversation after sooooo long. It lasted for around half an hour and despite standing for that same amount of time (usually, I'd want to sit down in a few minutes), I wasn't bothered at all.
- Looking at submissions made by other people in the 'Celebrating Diversity: New Horizons Character Designing Event' thread. It's awesome seeing people being comfortable and willing to show who they are as well as supporting other groups. Keep it up!
- Played Okami HD once again and got some extra goodies.
So I was in Taka Pass and stumbled upon near someone's house. The sky got gloomy and red and once I walked even closer, there's this lady that goes by the name of Mrs. Cutter. Apparently, she wants to turn Amaterasu (the character who I'm playing as) into food and literally started chasing me with a knife. I just noped my way out of there and went to Kusa Village lol. No wonder why it's rated T for teen. There are some themes that could be frightening to some people. Still an awesome game, though!
- I made an art thread earlier today and got valuable feedback from @Mistreil! She provided things to improve on which I find interesting and insightful.
this post might be a bit of a mess since i’m exhausted and can’t articulate my thoughts properly lol, but today was another decent day! i’m really grateful that this week hasn’t been too bad thus far. 
hopefully i don’t jinx myself by saying this lmao.
• i included this in my post from yesterday, but since it technically happened today, i’ll mention it here as well - i showered. it’s not really that big of a deal, but i’m proud of myself for doing it even though i didn’t have the energy to. plus, it was actually pretty relaxing. :’o
• did an animal crossing trade. i also tt’d chevre out, went island hopping for the first time in months, and invited merengue! my island is probably always going to be overrun by normals lol, but i’m excited to have her regardless!
• my mom bought me a few treats while she was out.
• the start of tbt’s celebrating diversity event! i’m super happy that i’m able to participate this year, and i actually don’t hate my entry! also, this is definitely silly, but seeing my island rep be used to demonstrate how characters would appear in the banner made me happy as well. i wasn’t expecting it, but it was a nice surprise aha.
• discovered a new favourite song and fanfic!
• cuddled with my kitty. twice

-Technically yesterday, but I got New Horizons!! ^^ I've had a lot of fun getting started, and I'm happy with the island I got too! I was actually planning to reset for a map I liked/airport color/fruit, but I was super lucky and got all my top picks on the first go!! 
-I was also able to enter the Celebrating Diversity event! ;v; I wasn't sure if I'd be able to since I didn't even have the game when the event was announced in the Bell Tree Direct, but I'm really glad I was able to pull something together, even if it's not much.

My kitty snuggled with me for a few hours on the bed which she hasn’t done in awhile since I’m still not back in my room and she loves her heated basket out in the living room. 
Excited about an art commission that I put an order in for! I was worried that I asked for too much or the tip wasn’t enough but she accepted it. Was really touched that she already had started looking at ref pics and was going to ask for my kitty pics 
.
I submitted an entry for diversity and I feel so much better even though I was so nervous. I’m really loving everyone’s outfits and the thought put behind them all. Looking so much forward to the test of the event and seeing more entries

Met my friends little kitten yesterday she is gorgeous and so teeny tiny!!
Today is my last day in Scotland before the big move tomorrow. I’m very excited to move & be closer to family but will be sad to go as it’s been my home for around 5 years
Going out for tea tonight at our favourite indian restaurant to celebrate

On the camping that we are at currently, we've seen a beautiful deer yesterday. Sadly we didn't take any phone with us. Today we saw it again and managed to snap a photo!
Oh and also, my fiancé found a hedgehog that is trapped. Glad he saw it or he might be stuck there forever. He put a big branch as ladder, so hopefully over night the poor guy will manage to climb out. If not we will tell the staff about it. It's big metal bars with huge gaps in between, so not really possible to simply lift..

Having 3 week vacation starting Monday and this weekend is some dumb holiday weekend so extra days I don't say no to! Gonna be so nice, though I'm gonna have nightmare about those small floppy kids books in indo-asian languages lol(It was only me and my co-worker that does the same hours as I do and we had to sort tons of those floppy pamphlets and then another 20 random languages so we could shelve in the same aisle since kids' books are sorted after language names in Swedish alphabetically).

today is a great flat chest day, I'm wearing a small shirt for the first time in forever and I'm not having any dysphoria this morning

♡ let me paint you a picture ♡
I got tested and I don’t have COVID-19!
It’s such a huge relief, honestly. However I do have some sort of illness and have to take some medications. While I still don’t feel that great I’m super happy that I don’t have to worry about endangering my family.

I messaged my doctor yesterday and today I saw that he replied, he's gonna let me try Prozac for depression. my uncle told me that my grandma (who, like me and my mom, dealt with depression and anxiety and OCD) took it in the last year of her life and it completely transformed her and made her so happy and mentally sound. gonna go pick it up later today, I know it'll be a few weeks before it really takes effect but I'm praying it works out for me. 
I got to sleep in today, which I really needed. I also got paid today and I’m getting a haircut soon. Lastly, I’m really glad my entry for the diversity event turned out okay as I was worried it wouldn’t make sense or something. I’m not going for the top three, but I did want to at least submit something good.

@S.J. sent me a very kind message and surprised me with an adorable piece of art .
Thank you so much! I am so touched by the thought and this honestly made my day.

Art and drawing has seriously made me me so happy lately. I have learned the hard way last night what happens when you don’t take breaks though. But at least I am having fun and am motivated to do something .

I got cortisone shots in both knees today for the first time, and now they don't hurt constantly! Also, hubs ordered us Chinese food for dinner.

Tomorrow is the release of Mario Golf.
Gotta work tomorrow...but playing all night after that. Yeah.

I was really tired today but it was an easy day of work, so I was able to get a nap in during my morning break. Working from home has its perks.
My eye has also been swollen and irritated for a couple of days, which happens to me when I'm stressed or lacking sleep, but today the swelling is finally going back down and it's not bothering me as much.
While working, I discovered an issue that we still have time to correct before it causes any problems. So I'm happy I managed to catch it when I did.
Finally, I did some more work on my poem today.

-My mom showed me an itty bitty box turtle she found in the yard! ;w; He was such a little cutie!! 
-Got to eat some blackberries from the wild blackberry patch in our yard! I do prefer the less-wild varieties (these have kind of a persistent bitter aftertaste), but I'm not gonna turn down fresh berries, ahaha.
-A CD and button I ordered arrived today!

- Played both ACNH and ACNL to check on my villagers. They're all doing fine and even done a couple of favours in both games.
- Made more progress in Okami HD. I had to find dogs and they're so adorable, even though I had to fight a couple of them.
- Seeing more lovely submissions made by people about celebrating diversity.
- Did some parking practice at a parking lot for an hour where very few cars are present. I've messed up some attempts a few times but getting it right feels so satisfying, both the rear end and front end parking.
- While heading to the parking lot and back with my dad, I saw a Chrysler Prowler (they have some of the weirdest car designs lol), a Mazda Miata with pop-up headlights, and probably a modern Honda NSX (it was dark out and could only make out its headlights). It feels good being able to identify a specific car from a distance because of its design. It's especially refreshing since I keep seeing SUVs and Toyota Corollas out on the road lol.
