What Are You Happy About Today?

today we went to the post office, then to the supermarket and then to the electronics store. my phone is pretty old, it’s the iphone 7 and the battery is almost dead so it’s time for a new phone. We only looked at Androids because I kind of hate Apple now. I liked the Samsung A52 and the Samsung A72 (the way Samsung names their phones is confusing, at least to me) and they both come in purple which is my favourite colour. I know I could just get a black phone and put a purple cover on it, but... come on 😅 I think I will get the A52 because the other one was way too big for my small hands 😅 After looking at phones we checked the Nintendo section and they had some Pokemon plushies so I brought home Espeon and Umbreon 💜🖤

sorry for the like spree, I got carried away 😅
 
-A new episode of my favorite animal crossing podcast came out today, I plan on playing ACNH tonight while listening to it!
-One of my neighbors said hi to me
-My 5-speed KitchenAid hand mixer and 2 loaf pans were delivered today, so I can finally try making banana bread sometime :)
-My seltzer water came, I'm trying to drink less sugary drinks and more water so that will be helpful
-There was a thunderstorm today and I love them
 
This will be a combination post of today and yesterday! I was going to write in here yesterday but I forgot. 😅

-I got some new little belts! The waistline on the dress I sewed is kind of wonky maybe one day I'll fix it but not today so it looks better when I wear it with a belt, lol. My old belt was falling apart though so I'm glad I was able to find a new one! I got a cute one from Wal-Mart that has little flowers on it that have a sparkly outline? Its really pretty. It came in a bundle with a brown belt and a black belt which I think will look cute with some other dresses I have/are planning to make!

-I also got some little sewing notions like a brown zipper for when I make my fall-coloured dress and then these little clips which I think will be helpful when I'm hemming because pinning hems almost always results in me jabbing myself with the pins!! I've seen them at Michaels but Michaels wanted Too Much Money for them. Maybe the Michaels ones are better quality but I'm doubtful... so I'm happy with what I got! I need to pick up some mock-up fabric (see: a bedsheet from the thriftstore, lol) before I actually start sewing with my good fabric though because I want to try a new bodice type and potentially a new skirt. Maybe just a quarter circle skirt instead of a full one.

-I made a hair appointment! 🥳 The last time I got my haircut was March of 2019, the year before covid hit. Luckily I do like my hair long and I don't dye it or anything so it's not been a disaster not getting it done but I am excited to get some length cut off! I was nervous that I wouldn't be able to get in until August but the hair place had an opening a few weeks from now! I'll be going some place new so I am a little nervous but my pre-covid cut was... not very good lol which is why I put off getting it cut for so long. Hopefully this new place is better.

-My dad went to his physio today. He was saying he wasn't going to go a few days ago when he was really sore from not having his painkillers but luckily with that sorted out he felt well enough to go today. The physiotherapist said that they don't think he'll need surgery and he should heal up just fine as long as he keeps with his exercises which is good! Here's to hoping he actually rests his arm and follows the directions. I think he will, if only because his physiotherapist is a man. Love my dad to pieces but when I told him to rest his shoulder he didn't listen. When our doctor told him to rest his shoulder he promptly came home and started cutting down tree branches. After his physio appointment today though? "Doctor said I have to rest my arm!" ksdkdhgkjgdh. He can be so frustrating sometimes but hopefully he gets better soon.
 
I started playing Pocket Camp again and I’m actually having fun; it’s nice to have an active friend. 😊 Bad thing about playing this game is it makes me jealous of the cute items 😅 since I don’t like too many of NH’s items or how they re-did some of the items I had liked (like the school desk: i liked the old wooden texture and the record boxes - they were in a cardboard looking box and in Nh they’re in plastic).

For now the pain has subsided, I think I will save the next pain killers i take for when I get ready for bed.

A bit disappointed I don’t have the house to myself like I was going to since my sister didn’t need my mom to watch her kids, but also relieved in case I ran out of pain killers and the pain got really bad (since I don’t have my own car).

My mood at least is pretty good in spite lack of sleep and pain and embarrassing myself recently with some friends. I just wish there is something that I can do about a few other issues (not as big as the pain but has been bothering me for awhile).
 
posting a bit earlier than normal, but today wasn’t too bad! i was honestly quite grouchy this morning/early afternoon but it was still a nice day in spite of that. :’)

• added a new clothing item to my nh catalog + did a trade for the first time in a while. :’)
• finally began working on and completed a short story for my island journal! i’d been struggling with it for a while now, so i’m super happy to have it done! i even lowkey like how it turned out, too. ^^ 😳

-The acrylic stands I pre-ordered in early April arrived safely today!! 😊 Now that things are opening up again, the international shipping costs were much kinder this time too, eheh. And despite having all that time in advance, I kiiinda forgot to set aside a spot for them, but thankfully I was able to work something out! ^^;
-Got Rodeo from a little villager hunt to replace Lily! Not a dreamie this time ahaha, but I still think he's quite cool! I actually passed him up shortly before finding Leopold, so I'm glad I ran into him again.
 
pretty meh day today but I got a few things done :)

• worked on a bit more of a jigsaw puzzle today... for about two hours. still not nearly done lol.
• spent my evening doing more coloring as well as watching Shrek 2. that was my favorite movie as a kid and I still love it.
• I'm currently sitting here partaking in some stress relief, surrounded by stuffed animals :>
• I finally have an idea for a drawing that will hopefully pull me out of artists block for the first time since I finished my art class in the fall semester. that class unfortunately did a number on my creativity level but I'm getting back into it!
(also @Shellzilla yes I haven't forgotten our art trade, I'm so sorry about that ;~; )

Now it's late but it's bedtime and, while I'm not really relaxed (I'm never truly relaxed) I'm def ready to go to sleep.
 
Overall a pretty good day:
@thetessagrace gave me a popsicle collectible which was really nice and I thought I'd never be able to afford one

Got to make a new icon which I like doing

Another quiet night without any fireworks

One of my neighbors who doesn't throw fireworks made us chocolate chip cookies which tasted delicious and made my day 😋

Got first place in a ranked tour in mario kart tour and I'm proud of myself and I get to have blue freerunning koopa as a reward for scoring in first place
 
This is minor in the grand scheme of things, but THAT YELLOW HOUSE COLLECTIBLE IS MINE And even better, my friends banded together to help me buy that dream shack. ;_; I love all you beautiful people. @Foreverfox @Firesquids

Also nice:
  • My kids are asleep in their own beds
  • I painted a really good looking cat (still got janky human arms/hands goin', tho)
  • 1625632570124.png
  • Was caught in a sunshower, which feels nice, as long as I ignore the thought of mosquitoes.
  • I dunno, I just feel a sense of love and adoration for life right now. joie de vivre

its been awhile-
Summer has been whatever so far, but a few hours ago found out that my mom impulsively adopted 2 puppies!! ;-;
they get here on saturday. I missed doggy cuddles so much ;-;
Of course I still miss my old dog very much, but i'm excited to make a couple new friends.
 
🌸 It took me the whole day, but I finished cleaning the bedroom. It should be as fur free as possible now for when the baby arrives!

🌸 Speaking of the baby, the bed arrived today and it's so easy to unfold and fold it back.. and it's so cute, ahhhh

🌸 The gift I ordered for a exchange arrived just in time. Today is shipping deadline and they arrived today, so that I can send them, phew.

🌸 One out of the two exchanges I'm participating in has sent a present today!! Sad that the other one is completely ghosting me, but oh well.. the more important one has sent :)

🌸 Thanks to @Jhine7 and @Croconaw I've got the blue star fragment with the correct date. Now there is just one flower collectible left to get in the right date and my ultimate dream lineup is done <3
 
My coworker and I just received $25 gift cards from our manager. She says they were tips from someone who said we were doing a good job. Cashiers deserve tips too. Some customers aren’t always the nicest to deal with, so it’s nice to feel respected. The person wanted to remain anonymous, so I have no idea who the gift cards were from.

I received my pay a whole day early from work. I think it was because of the holiday. It was a nice surprise when I woke up.

I also ordered a custom Bones plush from Etsy, and I received the notification he has been shipped. I can’t wait to see him! Bones was one of my first friends when I started playing Animal Crossing and now he can come with me when I travel!
 
I feel so much better today, though am pretty crabby. Got plenty of sleep. My ear was bothered by my white noise machine and still had small pain in my jaw and teeth but was very bearable.

I got the starry rug in pocket camp. Which I really wanted. I kinda want the sofa and maybe another rug but going to start saving for the donuts…maybe 😋. I have been having fun playing Pocket Camp still even though the wait for the next day’s cookies kills me as well as the construction time (am contemplating using my free trial but i think i will wait).

I like the AR Camera in the game :).

I don’t think my cat is amused though; I woke her up for both pictures 😋.
 
i am running on pretty much no sleep whatsoever atm, but today was good! i just hope that i’ll actually be able to get some much needed sleep tonight. 😅

• my kitty was vocal with me again today! her lil meows warm my heart. 🥺🖤
• found another new fanfic that i really like!
• finally have a new entry for my island journal that’s ready to be posted!! i’m super excited to post it tomorrow. :’)
• did an animal crossing trade.
• scheduled a phone call appointment with my doctor for tomorrow. i’ll have to wake up early and i’m honestly pretty nervous lol, but i desperately need to talk to him about some stuff. 😅
• my mom was really kind to me today.
• talked to @Midoriya for a bit! i always enjoy chatting with him. :)
• got around to cleaning up my switch lite’s camera roll. i’ve been wanting to do so for a while, so i’m glad that i finally got around to doing it.
• this one isn’t about me, but i was really happy to see that @jadetine finally got a yellow house collectible! seeing others get their dream collectibles is so lovely. manifesting this to happen with me and the crescent moon wand one day. 👀
 
I had a great time back at martial arts and it gave me that sense of confidence again that I needed a bit more of. I also made several calls today and am going to be interviewing with several companies soon, including one I was really hoping to get a chance with. Lastly, I‘m beginning to create a budget sheet for things I have to pay for every month since I am actually paying for things on my own now (besides house/apartment payments), and it feels good to feel like an adult because of it. :giggle:
