What Are You Happy About Today?

I am over 72 hours post surgery, and the swelling reached it’s peak. However, it seems to be going down. I feel good, and the swelling looks worse than it actually is. But everything is going well according to the post-op instructions. I’m expecting to be fine in a few days time.

I’ve been enjoying the milkshakes and everything though. I had a Orange Julius from Dairy Queen earlier, and I’m looking forward to watching the NHL Stanley Cup Finals.
 
I played co op for the second time in Genshin with my best friend in college, he was way stronger than me so I asked him to help me in a domain. I was laughing so hard throughout our session because I was doing barely any dent on the enemies (I wanted to grind for artifacts but I was like 20 levels below the domain level LOL) and he was running around spam-attacking and killing the enemies in one go. It was fun, he was super okay with everything and we laughed when I couldn't do the final blow on the enemy even though the health was really low 😆 sadly I didn't get the artifacts I wanted but it was a really good time!
 
i’m so happy to see that so many of you had a nice day today! reading this thread always makes me smile ☺️. as for me, my day was pretty mediocre, but it wasn’t bad!

• received a very sweet message from @WaileaNoRei earlier today! it was a lovely start to my day, and her kindness means so much to me. 🥺
• tt’d chelsea out in nh, went island hopping and invited bruce! i also took some photos that i actually like for once, and i did a trade with someone as well!
• was able to help my dad out with some stuff.
• received my 125 tbt from participating in the celebrating diversity event! i didn’t think that i’d receive it until after the event was over, so this was a nice surprise.
• found a new filter on vsco that i really like!
• and lastly, my favourite part of the day; my kitty was sleeping in the living room this morning, and i went to go pet her as i normally do. she woke up, meowed upon seeing me and then stretched before laying back down 🥺. it was so adorable!!
 
I’m just really happy after today and proud of my work ethic. I feel like I finally have my confidence back, something I’ve been missing in recent years. I’m also getting close to having a new job, and I once I do get hired this is the only post I am going to make on my job network profile:

“I have a story for you guys that you may be able to take something away from. I was diagnosed at the age of 10 with Aspergers, now called Autistic Spectrum Disorder, and have had to life with it my entire life. Always seen as different and sometimes belittled because of it. But I didn’t let that stop me from achieving what I wanted to achieve. Fast forward 14 years and I’ve graduated from university already, with the statistic that only 50% of people or less with ASD graduate from college. My mom passed away this past year after a ten month battle with gastric cancer, and I honestly think I extended her life by doing what I did for her. I am now entering my role as _____ for ______ , something out of reach even moreso for people with ASD and other disabilities. I am strong. I am intelligent. I am motivated. I am beautiful. I can do anything. Nothing is impossible. If I can do it, you can do it too. My mom’s motto in life always was, ‘attitude is latitude’.”
 
My puppy Maggie finally got over her fear of going down the staircase, so that dream I had a few weeks ago finally came true! I dreamt she went down it and wahla! She did! I’m so happy for her! Now to keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn’t get in trouble when she goes down without my family knowing. Lol. 😆
 
I set up my new swivel chair by myself today! Then later my dad helped me put up my new desk, so now after like 5 years I finally have a desk and chair in my room again, and I'm loving how they look,, they ended up being the perfect size so I'm very pleased with them ☺ The desk took 2.5 hours to set up, so I'm relieved it's finally finished. And of course both are white to match my boring minimalist aesthetic

I'm also making baked salmon for me and my mum tonight, which I'm happy about because I know she really likes it

Sun came out for the first time since Thursday. Just three more days until this storm hell is over.
 
Yesterday I was stressing about things, and I forgot to mention the two people who really made my day, by leaving such caring messages on my profile

@Roxxy Left me a very sweet message, to remain strong. Which, I honestly needed, and hearing that was a lovely surprised 💜

@S.J. Left a message saying how brave I was, and how they loved how I shared my experience. That was very heart lifting, and made me smile.

This event is really bringing everyone together, those two messages were such a nice surprise. Thank you ♡ I honestly don't really care about winning. I just wanted to be brave like everyone else, thank you for making me more confident

My dad came home from work and he brought me back a bag of roasted almonds. 😮. It was very thoughtful of him. I love my sad. I feel bad for some stuff I said, though it still does bother me when he doesn’t wash his hands or when he lashes out at me or my mom because he can’t deal with his anxiety and isn’t getting it treated. Our relationship has just always been so rocky and some days are worse than others. so glad we’re okay for now though :).

I finished my drawing today! 🥳 I posted it on twitter and I was really nervous since I’ve seen some really rude comments to artists and some other stuff that concerns me, not to mention being self conscious since I know my artwork is still in the beginning level and there is so much better art out there. It doesn’t stop me from being proud of it too and wanting to show the VAs. 🙂 One of the VAs I tagged liked it which made my heart skip a beat because I wasn’t sure if they like looking at even beginner level art. I know most important thing is that I like it, but I admit getting likes and comments makes me feel really happy and is encouraging to me :). I will keep working hard to improve (unless I somehow lose interest in drawing). Course now I need a break. 😅.

Sorry for babbling. I am just really happy and dealing with some nerves lol.
