What Are You Happy About Today?

Today has been a good day. I watched the newest MHA episode and got to sleep a lot. I’ve had the place to myself nearly all day. I went into the laundry room to find one of our cats cuddled up on the dryer, so I gave her kisses on the head and pet her. 🥰 Our other cat, Lulu, has kept jumping up on my bed today and is being really sweet too. Baked some fish and had a baked potato while watching the news. I have a feeling I’m going to sleep well tonight as well. :)
 
  • I went biking at the park today. I pedaled faster than usual, so I got tired quickly. I'm probably gonna feel it in my legs when I wake up tomorrow haha.
  • Powerwashed some of the carpets outside in my backyard on a sunny day. Quite satisfying to see the dirt being washed off as I spray pressurized water on them while getting some vitamin D.
  • Ordered some pizza for dinner.
  • Greeting @Roxxy a happy birthday and seeing her being happy with the greetings and drawings that some members have made in celebration of her birthday, including myself. :)
  • Watched one of the Youtubers I subscribed to do a virtual 24-hour race at Le Mans and observing their racing skills (trail braking is something I need to work on with my already limited tools of using a controller). I'm honestly amazed by their consistency without messing up very often.
Edit: Missed a point that made me happy. Silly me. 😄

My mom has sciatica and hasn't slept for three days because of the pain, despite our best effort to treat it. It seems that the medicine is finally working because she's been asleep for about 3 hours now.
I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. I just went through something similar as my mom had a flare-up of her sciatica this week. We spent 8 hours at the ER and then I spent the next few days helping her since she was in too much pain to move. When we finally got her in to see her chiropractor, they were able to relieve the worst of her pain with some adjustments. I hope your mom is able to get some relief soon too.

I'm happy today because l finally got some mint chocolate chip Klondike bars at the grocery store. I've been craving mint chocolate chip ice cream for days now. I also finally got around to doing some yard work today. The bushes and ivy were way too overgrown, but things are looking much better now and it didn't hurt my back too badly.

Going back to late last night, I finally re-started my nightly routine of rehab exercises. I hadn't done them in about 4 days with everything else going on, but now I'm getting back on schedule. I also passed out last night and slept very deeply for a long time. I really needed that.
 
i’m back to running on no sleep and am exhausted, but otherwise today wasn’t too bad. i’m definitely ready to pass out, though. 😅

• today was the lovely @Roxxy ’s birthday! i’m really happy that she seemed to like all of the art that she received (thankfully including what i made for her lol) from the bday card that @SpaceTokki77 so kindly put together for her. we may not talk much, but roxxy truly is wonderful and deserves nothing but the best. i hope you had an amazing day! 💜
• got 3x nook points.
• found some more new fanfics to read that i’ve been enjoying!
• finally finished and sent over the artwork that i made for @/makoto, and they thankfully seemed to like it! they even sent over some tbt, which was really nice of them. 🥺
• posted a new island journal entry.
• tbt’s second summer event for this year starts tomorrow!! it looks like it’s going to be some sort of scavenger hunt, which both excites me and makes me nervous all at the same time lol. i’m really looking forward to tomorrow!
• got a slurpee from the gas station that’s down the street from my house. it was blue raspberry flavoured. :’)
 
Today was a great day!
-got black yoshi at gamestop today and I'm very happy because I've been looking for him since I was 12 and now I finally have him:

-tommorrow is the scavenger hunt event that I'm excited for and I'm confident that this time I'll win
-Today was the purple queen, @Roxxy's birthday and she seemed to like my art despite it looking like a little kid's drawing compared to other people's art lol. Still glad to make her happy nonetheless.
 
Hope it’s ok to say something here as I don’t normally 😊 Yesterday was the best birthday I have had in a long time. I still can’t get over the kindness shown to me. Still totally blown away, I’m really not used to such attention 🥺💜

I absolutely adore the birthday card Tokki so kindly arranged. She is so special 💞 I can’t get over the amazing art and so many birthday messages. Heartfelt thanks for making my day so very special. Wish I could thank everyone individually so forgive me please. Thank you seems so little. I am lost for words again so will send lots of love 💞💫
 
Had a great movie night with myself last night watching two fab movies :D

And one of my dearest friends from TBT surprised me and we had a long good talk over at Discord. Made me really happy she popped by cause I haven't seen her in ages <3
 
MY DOGGOS CAME TODAY AAA

i didn't get that great of pictures of them but here they are

their names are kiki (top) and roo (bottom), after kiki's delivery service and winnie the pooh respectively. they're very fluffy and tiny and i love them with all my heart. ;-;
 
I finally polished a Tamagotchi that I purchased and decided to customise, as it was in worse shape than I expected.
My hands are hurting so badly now and I can barely feel the keys while writing, but at least the hardest part is done
and I can finally spraypaint it and hopefully resell it. But I know for sure that I won't be customising anything the next
few month, because that huuuuuuuurts 🤪
 
I heard some reassuring anecdotes about mixing the mRNA vaccines through friends, so I'm feeling a bit more comfortable with the idea of mixing for my second jab next Sunday. 😅

Caught up with one of my best friends and got her insights on reusable cloth pads. I've been thinking about making the investment for a while now, and between the guilt of contributing more physical waste and companies raising their prices on feminine hygiene products, I'm planning on making the leap in August.

I watched the first Avengers movie on Friday, and I'm happy to finally know where the line "That's my secret, Captain. I'm always angry" comes from.

Right now, I'm getting ahead of the coming week's to-do list at work a bit while listening to an audiobook.
 
Today's been another good day! I am so sleepy though oh my goodness :sleep: I haven't really done much but the weather has been lovely again and my kitties have both been really sweet. 🥰

I spent most of the day tracing out specific patterns I need for a new dress I have in mind. I want to try making a dress with a peter pan collar and some little puff sleeves! I think it'll be really cute, if all goes as planned. I want to use the fabric that's got a bunch of berries and such on it! I also traced out a three quarter circle skirt - I debated tracing out one that needs pleating done but I just love circle skirts so much. I'll need to get my hands on a wide roll of tracing paper or something, though! I ended up using some parchment paper which did work really well for the smaller pieces (and it feels sturdier than the tissue paper other patterns come on) but when I got to the skirt it was trickier. Trying to tape together parchment paper is really tricky and I don't think it'll hold so I'll eventually need to transfer the skirt patterns to different paper but for now it's fine! My back sure is sore though from leaning over to trace & cut out the patterns
 
I talked to my mom today and she's continuing to get better. She was able to walk some without a walker today, but she still needed to take a rest after so many steps. She goes back to the chiropractor tomorrow, so I hope she'll keep progressing.

I'm also happy about the Scavenger Hunt event that started today. It seems easy enough that I hope to be able to participate every day and get that Coco Matryoshka collectible.
 
today was one of my low energy/depressive days, but it wasn’t a bad day at all. it was a good day as instead of just staying in bed and not accomplishing anything like i normally do when this happens, i did stuff and i am so, so happy that i did. granted, nothing that i did was exactly significant, but even just existing on days like this feels impossible, so i’m proud of myself for getting through, and for not letting it overtake me for once. ^^

• talked to @Roxxy earlier today, and i was so glad to hear that not only did she like the bday art that i made for her, her son did as well! her kind words really meant so, so much to me, and i’m happy we talked. 💜
• also got to talk with another dear friend of mine, @Dunquixote, which always brightens my day! i love chatting with her. ^^
@Toska said some really kind things about me in the “give a user some love” thread! it was an unexpected but absolutely lovely surprise, and i’m really happy to have her as a friend!
• tidied my room up a bit.
• tbt’s seek-ret event began today, and i’m really happy that it seems that i’ll be able to participate fully, and the banner + cocoryoshka collectible are absolutely stunning! i’m super thrilled about the tbt prizes and raffle as well! quite a few goodies that i’m hoping to win. good luck, everyone! :’o
• managed to get a good night’s sleep. i didn’t even realize that i had fallen asleep until i woke up LOL, but it was definitely for the best.

i feel like i’m forgetting something, so i’ll edit this again if i remember lol.

I hope you have a better day tomorrow 🍀🤞💜. Make sure you hug your kitty a lot. Kitty hugs always helps even if just a little bit😉.
