What Are You Happy About Today?

Had a final "get together" picnic with my Japanese classmates. One of who is a hobby chef & made us all bentos which was so delicious!

Today hasn’t been that great, but there are a few small things that made me kinda happy.

I made some designs in AC. not very good but passable for something I am planning. i am a little excited about my idea. 😊

Things are fine between me and my friends; I still feel bad though and am worried about them and one more friend. I’m grateful my friends are so understanding and patient with me. 🙏

I’m happy my mom is home.

Really happy too how supportive everyone has been to each other for this diversity event and seeing more people submitting entries too.

Also am still really happy about how encouraging and supportive everyone has been about my art here. Saying this again because I am extremely grateful and while today is one of my lowest days I’ve had for awhile, seeing the reactions in my notifications really brightened my mood a bit. I have heard how supportive the art community here was but I honestly thought and still kinda do, that my art is pretty flat and lacks a lot of things and thus, I was not expecting the support that I have received. Thanks everyone! I am stubborn so I will continue working hard to improve. :) 🙏

Already mentioned it in the Genshin Impact thread, but I got both Keqing and Kazuha! Kazuha especially has been a blast using, he's temporarily replacing Fischl for now to make way for a vape team (idk if it'll work but I'm still trying it out lol).

In other news, I'm almost finished with my little Gen IV terrarium project! I'm soooo happy with the way it turned out, still need to put hairspray on the dried flowers to preserve them more, but overall for my first time doing this, I think I did super great 🥺 Still waiting on my Buneary centerpiece to arrive so Pikachu is a placeholder for now!

A stranger on the train complimented my shirt today, that kind of thing doesn't happen to me very often so it really brightened my day 🥰

I also got my celebrating diversity submission in and it's gotten way more likes than I ever thought it would. I'm glad that everyone liked it!
 
I started off the day feeling a bit depressed, but then some good things happened. I snuggled a bit with my husband and my dog and they made me feel better. I got a call from my mom and she was going to get her second Covid shot today.

This afternoon, I pulled myself together to finish up enough work to make myself happy with my progress. I also fixed a program that I need to use regularly but it hadn't been working in over a week. I'd contacted multiple support people and they were useless, so I tried a few things on my own and now it's working.
 
most of my happiness came from new horizons today, but i’m super happy that rilla gave me her photo and that it didn’t take too long to tt her out afterwards. i’m happy that i got to go island hopping; i invited friga after 103 nmts and i’m super excited to have her! i even came across shark island for the first time, and i got to add a new rug to my catalog! :D

i’m also happy that a few of my friends reached out to me today and that i got to talk to them. <3
 
  • Me and my mom made pancakes It tasted so good and filled me right up! My mom already got full after two pancakes lol. You can't say the same thing for McDonalds pancakes since they're paper thin.
  • I finally submitted my entry for the Celebrating Diversity event! My entry even brought back memories of one person about the cultural stuff I mentioned so it was pretty nice. Also, I don't care if I don't make it to the banner, because everyone is a winner and it's great reading posts from people of many different backgrounds! It seems like this place is more diverse than I thought!
  • The thing I've been working on in the past few days is almost coming together. It looks like I'll be cutting it close once again just like trying to make an animation cheer for the TBTWC event. I'm pretty much yelling at my snail laptop every time it impedes my progress lol.
 
-Got some more Switch stuff set up with my mom! We're both on a Nintendo Online family plan now, and we've added each other as Switch friends! She also came over to my island for a little bit to pick up some duplicate DIYs and some other stuff I wanted to give her. 😄 I'm glad she's enjoying New Horizons so much!
-I've also pre-ordered a pretty self-indulgent birthday gift set for myself—it's supposed to come in later in the year, so hopefully in time for my birthday or a little earlier.
They're little wedding-themed acrylic stand sets of three of my favorite characters. 🥺 They each have a floral wedding arch backdrop and both a chibi-style and normal acrylic stand of the characters, and actually come with a little marriage certificate with a blank space for your name akdljhsdlgk. my heart.
They also each come with a ring stand for the rings they're also selling based off each of the characters, but lord knows I don't have that kind of money, so that part's staying bare. I'm not about to break my bank for fictional-wedding rings lmao
 
today is my and my girlfriend's anniversary! 😌 i haven't gotten to send my gift out yet because i'm waiting for a few parts to get delivered still, but what she sent me arrived very unexpectedly tonight and it's all so sweet. day made already. entire week also made probably
 
Got my package eventually, whew. Took a bit time convincing them I'm not "apartment #### xxx street" though lol cause label was messed up but the dude at the store where i pick up was nice though lol.

Coat/jacket fit, a bit snug and short arms but that's me with literally every garment that exists since I've monkey arms.
 
I made a grilled cheese sandwich without setting off the smoke alarm
Very cool! I love myself a good grilled cheese. I sometimes throw a slice of ham and tomato on them to. Gives it a whole new flavor.

My hot pepper plant outside is finally blooming flowers! Fingers crossed the peppers aren't tiny like my strawberry plant.
Nice! Gardening is one of my favorite hobbies. It's so nice and rewarding to see all your work come to fruition. Pun intended. I tried a strawberry once and got three tiny berries. Never got to eat them though and never got the chance to ask the bird who ate them if they were good.

I bought a bundle of asparagus, but never got around to planting them this year. It might be too late now.

That looks so delicious. I just want to punch my screen and pull it out. Hope it was a good get together!

Once again really proud of my work ethic today, and being able to sound competent to someone higher up as well. It’s also nice and sunny outside which is a nice break from the rain. :giggle:
It's really satisfying when you can get something done, whatever it is. Right now I am restoring an antique treasure chest and it's taking a lot of time, but the results are finally starting to show! Sometimes I wish I could just be done it now, but I want to take the time to do it right so I don't have any regrets with the time I already spent on it.

Good job Midoriya!

This is amazing! Did you 3D print the 3DS system or did you take apart a old/broken system?

That's awesome! Art is a great way to express oneself and can be a lot of fun. Would you mind sharing where you post your art? I would like to see your works. I understand if you don't want to. I actually need to get myself back into making art. Covid happened with work and knocked me out lol. I really want to get back into it soon.
