What Are You Happy About Today?

Today was a better day for me overall. I got caught up on most of my work so I don't have to come back to a complete mess on Monday. It's Friday so I've got the weekend to look forward to and hopefully getting some rest. Also, I started working on my poem again and revised a whole stanza this evening.
 
i finally got some much needed sleep! running on about 6 hours of sleep (in total, not per night) for the past few days had me feeling absolutely awful, so i’m relieved to have gotten some rest.

i also started reading a new fanfic that i’m enjoying so far, and found some amazing artwork of harley quinn 😊! i’d definitely like to attempt to draw her myself one day.
 
  • Got lots of sleep overnight.
  • Watched a live stream of the Goodwood Festival of Speed on Youtube. In summary, the event is all about seeing many cars from various motorsports from different eras driving up the Hillclimb track. I'll admit, there were so many cars that I did not know existed (aside from a few), but it's still pretty awesome to see them drive by and learn a little bit about them as provided by the commentary and interviews. It was also very nice to see some classic Formula 1 cars as well! There was also a session where cars were being drifted on an already narrow track and I was amazed how they were really close to the barriers without crashing! If I was there, I'd already find myself in the wall lol.
  • While I had the stream running, I got to finish my art today!
  • Played a little bit of Okami HD, even if it was only for half an hour.
  • Had a good dinner along with the fried rice I cooked.
  • I spent the rest of the evening reading the Zelda manga books I borrowed from the library and already finished them lol. It turns out Twilight Princess has eight volumes and I only just finished the second volume. I searched the public library website and it looks like they have the remaining volumes I could borrow! Take that, Amazon! Since Twilight Princess is my favourite game in the entire Zelda series despite scaring me a lot as a child, this makes me really happy since I only expected two parts to this.

After spending most of the week in hospital following a small abdominal operation I am really happy to be back at home with my family, most of whom I couldn't see in hospital due to visiting restrictions, and all my pets who I've missed loads. I haven't been able to do much else other then rest but it's lovely to have company again, cuddles with my kitten earlier and a sleep in my own bed.

I hope you heal up from surgery quickly! 💕 That sounds lovely that you're back home and get to be with your family and pets again. 🥰

Thank you! The wound is supposed to heal relatively quickly but been home is definitely making it easier in the meantime 💕

I didn't know you spent a week in the hospital, but I'm glad you're able to be back home with your family and pets and taking the time to rest. 💙
 
happy that im finally done cleaning out my old house’s attic. there’s was a bunch of stuff in there that hasn’t seen the light of day in 30 years and there was something from the 1960’s. i also found my mom’s old piano and a record player.
 
Today at work I got to see my bosses small doggie, who's very sweet and loveable. She gave me kissies🥰

Also one of my fav dogs came in today who is a regular, comes in every month maybe. He has cancer and is riddled with anxiety due to kemo-therapy treatments, but he's still a sweet boy. He also gave me some kissies. Also surprisingly today, he was calm when I was drying him off and after that, he laid down! He normally barks all the time (not his fault) and stands up but he actually laid down and chilled before his people came to pick him up.

Also this big boi dog I haven't seen before gave me maaany kisses. Arms, neck, chest, face (I wear a mask so he licked that), anywhere with exposed skin or my face, he gave kisses to. He's a cutie.

So basically it was a dog kissy day. I did get to see some of my fav doggos thou, customers and bosses.
 
I’m happy that my friend @Roxxy liked the drawing I drew for her and that she was happy about the surprise project @SpaceTokki77 threw together. 😊

My day feels like it still hasn’t really started so I may be back to post something else, but right now her reaction and happiness is what I’m happy about :). Sorry if that sounds odd or creepy.
 
Today has been really lovely! 🥰

-I was worried that it would be too warm today since we had been having these really lovely cooler days (15 degrees) but today has actually also been nice! It hasn't been terribly hot but it has been sunny which has been nice to see as the past few days have been pretty rainy. Which I don't mind but still, the sun (without terrible heat) is always nice to see too.

-I did some little exercises and have tried to be more mindful of my eating today. I wasn't able to do any really intensive workouts because A.) I am just too out of shape, lol B.) My shoulder is still recovering and that limited what I could do. But it still felt a little nicer to do something at least and I tried to stay away from boredom snacking today.

-My cats are so soft! We didn't give them a bath but sometimes they're just extra soft so that was a nice surprise. I love them so much 💕

-I found some great deals today!! I really need to get a job soon though 😅 We stopped by the thrift store and I found even more fabric. I found two that I think will be good for lining as they're pretty lightweight, then two of these sort of soft feeling ones? I'm not sure what they are but I found a deep green and a pink which are pretty! I also found this sort of vintage-kitchen-wallpaper type fabric lol I think it will be cute as a dress! The best part is there is so much of every one. I think that some of them are a bit short height wise but they all run really long which is nice. I also found an even feed presser foot and a little like... presser foot with a guide on the side? I have a magnet that sticks to my machine to help with the guides but I can't use that if I'm sewing a project where the fabric is covering the metal plate with the thread guides so this foot will be good for that.

-I also got myself a cutting mat finally! I've wanted once since I started sewing but they're kind of expensive and I could never justify the price when I didn't know if I'd stick with sewing or not. There was a bigger one on sale today though! It's not massive, I won't be able to cut skirts on it but skirts aren't too tricky to cut with scissors anyways. I've mainly wanted one for bodices and other smaller things like that because the curves on those can give me a bit of trouble and I'm glad that this size will fit the whole bodice on it vs some of the small square mats I've seen where I know I'd be constantly moving it around to make it fit.


-I made some soup the other day! I initially went out to help my dad just cut up the vegetables for prep but he's been having a rough go in regards to pain lately so I just made the whole thing. It was pretty chaotic because I hadn't been intending to make the whole soup and I like to have things planned out in advance instead of spur of the moment but it turned out okay! He really liked it which was the most important part. I was sad that we didn't have celery for it but oh well 😔
