What Are You Happy About Today?

I completed my first clothing piece with a sewing machine!
It's a skirt that I made out of a cute vintage German fabric. I made the pattern by tracing the shape of a skirt I already had, and combining it with a tracing of the waistband of another skirt and then combining the two into one pattern...I'm surprised it worked out as well as it did! I made a few mistakes, but nothing too major. The hardest part was the zipper, until I realized that invisible zipper feet exist. I wish I had known about invisible zipper feet in the beginning because it would have shaved hours off of the project!
I've honestly always wanted to make my own clothing but never thought I'd be able to figure it out, so I'm kind of thrilled to make even a simple skirt and even happier that I was able to do it with my own pattern!
I'm also happy that I'm going to have grilled cheese and tomato soup for dinner, ahhh.

I got my wash tape order in today!! It's from one of my favorite artists, so I'm thrilled to have finally received it. I got quite a few extras too, including a handwritten note! I thought that was such a nice touch. I also got a really cute sticker.

I'm not feeling well so I wasn't able to go to my apartment complex's 4th of July celebration cookout today but the apartment manager sent up a big takeout container with all the food to my apartment for me

I went grocery shopping and found both of my favorite mountain dews plus some new flavors to try (even though I need to cut down on pop

My mom helped me put stuff I wasn’t sure where to put away in totes and helped me dust; made it a lot less overwhelming.
I did not find my figure’s sword though that she lost :/, not happy about that but am trying not to worry about that right now. just glad to temporarily have my room back in order.
I found some of my old drawings; just couldn’t find one that I knew was missing from them for a year or more.

Had to take my 15 year old soulmate kitty to the vet because he's been kinda off this week and wasn't sure if his chronic illness was getting worse, but they're pretty sure it's down to the hot weather we've been having and not a deterioration. RELIEF. ♡
Today was my last day at my current job and I am… really glad about it to be honest. Looking forward to having more time to secure something better that makes better use of my degree. I also got some stuff sorted out that needed to be done and had some tasty enchiladas as an early dinner.

Happy today because I got done with grocery shopping with my mom. Plus, I managed to help her find something for a friend because sometimes we go shopping for her too. I have a good eye for spotting things in the grocery store, so my parents and I have given myself the nickname “hawk eyes girl.” 
I'm happy that it's Friday and I made it through this week at work. The week wasn't too bad, but this afternoon was a bit difficult. Now, I'm off work until Tuesday and I can't wait to enjoy the time off.
I have the house to myself right now, just me and my dog, and things are so quiet and peaceful. I love my husband but he's the type that needs some noise in the background all the time. Sometimes I don't realize just how much I miss the silence until he's out of the house.
My dog is laying beside me right now and his lips and tail are twitching from a dream. It's so cute.

Finally overcame my fear of driving on the freeway (all by myself without any passengers/backseat drivers to rely on lol)! I had an interview today located not too far from me, and I didn't want to pay for an Uber to get there, so I decided to gather my nerves and just do it after being so avoidant and inconsistent for so long. Turns out it wasn't so bad after all, and it was just a psychological hurdle that I needed to get out of the way. 
Finished work for the day, then went to work at my second job, went somewhere else to put a floor in, and then still had time to work on the vegetable garden and my chest project. Didn't think I would have time to do all of them, but I'm kind of shocked at the time I managed...I am tired though.
@TillyGoesMeow Very cool, it's always rewarding to be able to tackle down a project. Especially one that is quite sizeable. I finished school about a year ago, but it was such a weird feeling whenever the semester would end and there wouldn't be anything else I needed to do and or study, but I always felt like there was lol. Just keep at it, you're almost there and then you can kick back and relax!
@Mad Aly Nice job! On both accounts. It's sort of like riding a bike. After some time, it becomes a bit more natural. I drive almost everywhere now, but I used to be pretty nervous about it to when I first started. Good job taking that first step!

my day wasn’t very exciting, but my mom picked up a bunch of treats for me while she was out, which made me happy and was very kind of her to do. i’m also able to breathe through my nose a bit more easily today, so it seems that my cold is slowly getting better as well.

I gotta start visiting this thread more often so I don't look like I'm bombing these posts with reactions LOL.
- I had to go for a walk with my mother and sister at 8AM in the morning. Usually around this time, I would be sleeping but I'm glad I went because I got a fair amount of exercise and walked around the neighborhood for at least an hour! It felt good (and tiring) doing that. I even managed to spot a Nissan GT-R in someone's front yard while walking.
- I took a nap in the afternoon for at least an hour and regained some of my energy from all of that walking.
- FINALLY finishing my bonus idea for the celebrating diversity event after so long. I was actually pretty gutted yesterday, but managed to find a workaround which DRASTICALLY saved me time. If not everyone is gonna be on the banner, why not make an image where we're all together? The amount of support I got from people is much appreciated and it's awesome to be in this community. ☺ The post of the image can be found here. I'll explain my laptop hardships in a spoiler if you're interested lol.
The idea came to my head on June 26th, which was roughly around the halfway point of the event. I got started and saved images of every person who participated. I even had to PM a few people so they would be represented properly!
So I opened up Krita and eventually put in the characters. I started erasing up to the edges of the characters on the same document (which is a huge mistake after looking back on it). When I moved on to more people, my laptop was starting to lag which burned minutes of my time. Eventually, it was lagging on the most simplest actions. This was a recurring theme for every single person I was working on, so those minutes piled up into hours and I was pretty much waiting until I had control again. Even then, the lag persisted despite restarting my laptop and I was losing my sanity to the point I started shouting at the screen. To make matters worse, I was on my 75th character and I ran out of space in my document. It looked like something you'd see in those Where's Waldo?" books due to the crowding. So I proceeded to make a new one with larger dimensions and started cutting and pasting my previous work to the new document. And what do you know, it kept on crashing even though I transferred one character at a time.
At this point, I was absolutely sad that my work went to waste... Or so I thought. You see, both documents have large sizes. If my laptop kept crashing due to not handling two large files at once, I made a new document with smaller dimensions which equals to a small file size. I copy and pasted my work onto the small document little by little for the purpose of temporarily transferring characters and keeping them there. I opened up the blank document with the large dimensions and added the handful of characters from the small document little by little. And guess what, my laptop did not crash! I proceeded to repeat this process for the entire roster until I was done. For the characters that didn't get erased to the edges, I did it on a separate document to avoid lag and just went from there. Thanks to my thinking, I didn't have to redo the erasing for each character, saving me a TON of hours. I was really happy that I thought about that trick.
Sometimes, my genius is... It's almost frightening. Brownie points for those who understood that reference!

I felt a really painful and weird thing in my belly, it was kinda like a dent and I noticed I could slightly move it..
and suddenly "the thing" moved away by itself. I am almost 100% sure I moved around the feet of my girl..
that's like a first time really touching kind of feeling. Really weird, painful but also sooo cute

My dad is back from the hospital ^^
Baby movement? That's very cool! I remember when my sister was pregnant and she let me feel the movement when it was happening. It definitely is a weird feeling, but very cool at the same time!
@Shellzilla Oof, I remember when I had to render something on my laptop for school and it was taking forever. I had to end up doing it in tiny batches and then finally compile them all together in another program. It still took forever and I remember just working on the rendering from like 4PM until like 3AM one night.
It's awesome that you were that tenacious to succeed and the end result paid off. So good job!
Looking forward to finishing my second job and then having off tomorrow. Going to just chill and do whatever I want.

I decorated my wall for like the third time this week and I finally think I set it up in a way I like it lol. Also, I ordered new earrings that I've been wanting so I'm excited for them to come.
