What Are You Happy About Today?

My day wasn't too bad. It was a slow, easy work day for the part of it that I did work. My power went out around 10am, though, and I work from home, so that put me in a tough spot. Normally, I would have panicked and it would have totally ruined my day, but I was proud of myself because I kept calm today. I created a hotspot on my phone and used the last hour and a half of remaining battery life on my laptop to get a few things done and inform my team that I'd be taking the afternoon off if my power didn't come up back up by the time I got back from lunch. It didn't come back until around 2pm, so I got an unplanned afternoon to relax. I did some reading and hung out with my husband and my dog. It was nice.

I also checked in on my mom. She got her second dose of the COVID vaccine yesterday, but only had some mild side effects last night and felt fine today. I'm happy for her because she was extremely nervous about the possibility of feeling sick for multiple days.

Later in the day, I went to my chiropractor appointment. My back pain has been slowly increasing again of the past week, but I got a massage that helped some and I also 'graduated' from rehab, meaning I can now do the exercises on my own at home instead of having to go in twice a week and pay for them to assist me. I also got to see my doctor's puppy! She brought her into the office because she's going on vacation and needed to drop the dogs off at a kennel after work. The boy puppy was calm and stayed in her office the whole time, but the girl puppy would get too agitated and howl when left alone so she asked if I minded letting the dog into the room during my consultation. Of course, I didn't mind. What a precious puppy! 🥰
 
today wasn’t too bad! i don’t really remember waking up this morning, and i seem to have caught myself a bit of a cold, but otherwise it was a fairly decent day!

• received my final report card for this school year and i thankfully passed my course!!! 🥳 my grade even went up quite a bit since my last mark update, so i’m super happy about that! i hate that i’m taking so long to finish hs and am embarrassed, but i’m slowly getting there. hopefully i’ll actually get to graduate next year. 🤞🏻
• my kitty was a bit clingy today, but i of course don’t mind! i turned my back to her for a second earlier so that i could talk to my dad, only to turn back around and find her just about ready to start climbing me. 😭😅🤣
• my mom was released from the hospital a few hours ago and is officially home! i’m happy to have her back. she also bought me some cookies from the hospital cafeteria before she left, and they’re by far the softest cookies i’ve ever had. so good! 🤤
 
There are a few good things for me to be happy about today:
  • The Bolts beat the Habs 3-1 to go up 2-0 in the Stanley Cup Finals! They're now only 2 wins away from the Cup! Still plenty of series left, but I'm definitely feeling good about where things currently stand.
  • I ended up getting my teeth cleaned! Definitely nice to get that over with, especially before the COVID restrictions here get lifted.
  • Today was my last day of work for the week, now I get a 4 day weekend! Very excited for double the relaxation time.
 
I was able to find some things that would be suitable for a gift I'm sending out! As much as I do enjoy gifting it can sometimes be stressful to find things that would make for a good gift so I'm glad that I was able to locate some things for that.
 
Last night I decided to pull on a banner in a gacha game that I haven’t touched for months aside from getting login bonus and i got some new regular units on discount pull and pull 2 as guaranteed rate boosted unit I got the debut unit Ace vs Akainu! 🥳 And I played a bit and am back to enjoying the game though I bothered by still no special up chance x2 and no turtle island to farm for exp. I regret putting it down though I honestly cannot do all these events and everything else I want to do back to back. I have enjoyed my time away from the game and am enjoying playing it again. :) Not sure how long I will be playing this actively though.

One of my cats is in the room with me and is lying on the bed being sleepy ☺️

Was also happy to read some kind responses to me here and in the bothering you thread. It cheered me up a bit :). I’m still not feeling so great but doing better today and a bit more now.

Thanks @TheDuke55 🙏🙂.
 
Just got a big part of the order I did on Amazon for my future baby.
Poor mailman had to deliver 5 big boxes.. 😂 and it's not even everthing yet!

Super happy with how everything looks, but the thing I love the most is for sure the nightlight.
I mean.. LOOK HOW CUTE IT IS (and it can change colors)

I ordered two Nintendo Switch games, Mario Odyssey, and Zelda: Breath of the Wild!! Can't wait till they get here.
And a book that has 21 easy Christmas ukulele songs :)

Also, I did the dishes that were piling up and brushed my teeth, that had been difficult lately due to mental health issues.

Breath of the Wild is amazing! It's easily my favorite Switch game. I'm currently playing through it again myself. If you ever have any questions, please feel free to contact me :D (not that I'm an expert or anything, but I enjoy helping when I can)

You're gonna have a blast at botw! I've played it 3 times now and still is so much fun! It also has something relaxing about it just roaming around & exploring. 😁
 
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!

Holy ****, that looks so beautiful and creative! Never thought to do that with my old DS console. I really, really like that idea. <3
 
I'm getting calls for job interviews, and I have to take the freeway to go work in-office for a few of the positions if everything goes well, but I'm not that comfortable/skilled driving on freeways as I tend to avoid them, soo... (aaaaa) 🙃

We finally submitted my job application stuff yesterday, and I’ve received another offer for something I could do, so shouldn’t be too long before I start working somewhere new. Also glad it’s almost the end of the week and I’ll be done with my current job after tomorrow. Really looking forward to playing more Genshin today as well. :)
 
They finally lifted the face mask recommendation in public transport. I wonder why they even added it cause we didn't have it from start, people used them very incorrectly and also just proceeded to throw them on the floor/ground which is dangerous as hell for kids and animals 😠 I like to think this rather increased the spread to be honest...

Also, feels damn nice to be on vacation, I need this break man.
