What Are You Happy About Today?

Today was a very chill day. I slept in for a long time and then got up and went to get groceries. I got some mint chocolate chip ice cream while there, so looking forward to having some of that soon. I also applied for a couple more job positions, so hopefully I hear back from one of these places. My family is in agreement that the salad I made the other night is the best, so I’m going to have to write down the ingredients I used and make it again sometime. Lastly, I’ve been having fun playing Genshin Impact today. :giggle:
 
Today I’ve been mentally stressed, anxious and tired and wasn’t a very good day but some good things happened.

I maxed the specials/abilities and got all the lb orbs I needed for these two event units in a gacha game and I started very late and was going to use a gem to refresh stamina since those missions end tomorrow. So now I can focus on the event that has 6 days left.

Received some kind messages from a couple of friends and acquaintances here since I’ve been feeling really down lately. Much appreciated everyone 🙏.

An artist who was taking a break, the one that inspired me to start drawing came back to twitter again; not sure if she is still on break or not but I was glad to hear what was going on. A lot of stuff happened since her account was unfairly suspended and apparently someone was trying to mess with other social media accounts too.
 
this adorable gif that @Dunquixote shared with me! 🥺💗 i love monty mole so much lol.

my mom also picked me up a few more treats while she was out earlier! i also can’t remember if i mentioned this yesterday, but i’ve found myself a new favourite writer, which i’m super happy and excited about! i love how much reading i’ve been doing lately. ^_^
 
- I stayed up late last night and managed to find a second Pfizer dose for July 11 at a pharmacy, which is exactly three weeks from my first dose. Yes, NACI has said it's fine to mix mRNA doses, but I'd prefer to match if I can.
- Finished watching Digimon Adventure (dubbed) and the first half of My Hero Academia's fifth season. The writing and voice acting for Digimon Adventure was quite excellent for its time; the same could not be said for the sound and music direction, IMO, lol.
- Worked out and knocked out my chores this morning, so I have the rest of the day to relax.
 
there’s a thunderstorm ⛈ 💜🥰
I respect your opinion on thunderstorms. I hate them. If I could, I would send mine to you every time I got them in my area. :ppp




Anyway, today is the 4th of July! I don't think my dad has anything planned for us, but I am working on some projects for today.
 
I haven't posted in this thread in a little bit but that's not because good things haven't been happening! I've just been in a bit of a rut lately and have found it easier to focus on the negatives. I'm going to try and focus on the positives instead, though!

-I visited the doctor for the first time in years last week. I was really nervous to go in because I thought my doctor would be upset that it had been so long (It's been over two years so I can't blame it entirely on Covid). Luckily she wasn't, though! I went in for my shoulder. We still aren't entirely sure what I did to my shoulder and I'm waiting on x-ray results but she says it should be better in 2-4 weeks. It is starting to feel better it's more just a pain at night and in the mornings.

-I baked cinnamon rolls!! They're all gone now, but still. I had been putting off going to the grocery store because my shoulder was hurting so much but I went last week (after my doctor visit) and picked up some of the little ready-to-bake Pillsbury cinnamon rolls. They were so yummy.

-Today I phoned the pharmacy for my dad. I don't love phone calls but I am getting a lot better at them and I'm glad I called. He didn't want to call (he thought it would be pointless) and I know he would've lost his patience if he had tried. I was on hold for a while (I get it though, it's a Sunday so they're not at full staff) and talking with the pharmacist was a little confusing which I know would've been way, way, worse if it had been my dad because of how sore he is today. Luckily the phone call went well, they were able to refill at least one of his prescriptions, and I think he'll be okay. I made him a doctors appointment but it's not until the end of the month - the pharmacist said I should call the office tomorrow though since it's regarding his painkillers. Another phone call I'm not thrilled about but that's okay.

-I started watching The Owl House and it is so cute. I love little cartoons like this (She-ra, Little Witch Academia, Kipo and The Age of the Wonderbeasts are also really cute!) and it's been so much fun to watch.

-Last but not least I've switched my avatar & signature over to a cute little summertime theme. I'm so excited to get to use the art that @mocha. created for me!! Whenever I see it it makes me smile, I love everything about it 🥺💕 I'm also using the art that @Plume surprised me with a while ago and I love it so much! I may not love summertime but I love my summertime themed art 🥰
 
Lots of good stuff happened today:
  • Had a really good sleep since I went on walks for the past couple of days. My body pretty much rewarded me for using up my energy and thought that getting a well deserved rest is one of the first things to give to me.
  • I FINALLY got to watch a Formula 1 race! After refusing to televise it for weeks and missing out on a few races (with some being entertaining rip), they finally decided to show it on T.V. in quite a while. It took place in Austria at the Red Bull Ring and there was a fair amount of battles going on throughout the race. I was also getting vibes from the Oprah Winfrey meme of "You get a car", except instead of a car, time penalties were being handed out at a frequent pace lol. I was also pretty happy with the race results today since the podium looked a little different than the usual top drivers and that the championship fight is getting pretty interesting.
  • Took a nap that lasted for half an hour.
  • My dad made some hashbrowns mixed with ground chicken, eggs, onions, and of course, potatoes. They actually taste pretty good with a little bit of an eggy taste.
  • Played a lot of Okami HD today making a decent amount of progress. I thought I finished the game, but it turns out there's a lot more left for me to explore!
After entering the Moon Cave, I wasn't allowed to go any further because of being turned away by the imps and thinking I'm just a poor hungry wolf. However, I got a paper mask after defeating an enemy and took the opportunity to make a design. I made the first one which looks like this:

It's fine, but the letter L just dropped off at the end. I thought of a better idea:
2021070413565200-3C15B8B5FCFF64D185612CFC684FD589.jpg

Yeah, those imps won't know that I'm a wolf LOL. Excuse my grammar since I was running out of ink to write it. :LOL:

After completing the dungeon and going through the cutscenes, I went to a dojo to learn a new technique: Golden Fury. What do you picture when you hear this name? If you're thinking of something awesome, you're absolutely wrong. Turns out, it's just a fancy name of using the bathroom against your enemies to get a bonus item drop if it hits, and yet, it doesn't deal a lot of damage. What's even more hilarious is that I paid 100,000 yen (or just over $1,100 CAD) for learning this 'technique'. I could buy a PS5 with that amount of money and still have some of it left over to get more things. :ROFLMAO:
 
I went to a neighborhood block party to celebrate the 4th of July as I hadn’t been to one in years, and I actually really enjoyed it. I got to pet some doggos while there which was really nice. It was all started by one of us who’s an immigrant, which is actually really surprising to me and pretty much unheard of. I’m not a political person, nor am I all that patriotic, but it makes me want to be a better person, and to give back to others around me and help change things here for the better. Anything I can do to make a positive impact on someone else’s life is something I’m all for. :giggle:
