What Are You Happy About Today?

Went to visit some family today and while I was really not feeling up to socializing this morning I actually had a nice time. The kids are getting older now so they are a little less annoying every time we go visit them 😂 also nobody told me this beforehand but they recently got TWO KITTENS so I was able to get loads of quality kitten cuddle time which very greatly improved my day!

Before someone asks I did not get any kitten pictures IM SORRY

We do accept rain checks. 😉🥴 I’m so glad you had a better time than expected. That kitten news is so exciting! ☺

Today was not a very good day for me either; super crabby, low energy. But there have been a few highlights:

-New mod members: three of them are my friends (I’m afraid I upset one of my friends the other day and hope we’re still friends) and one is someone I really respect :) ( I respect them all so sorry if that came out wrong)
-Scavenger hunt: I doubt I’ll win since I got a feather from a previous event but still that aurora sky and other rare goodies 🤩👀 (good luck everyone 🍀)
-Had a nice little chat with @WaileaNoRei @xara @Toska :).
-Saw a funny pokemon picture on twitter that I shared with nef and found it funnier due to nef’s response 😋. Nef is so funny.
-Saw another picture of @Roxxy’s cat 🥺 (forgot to mention she sent me another picture recently that was really cute)

Today was alright! I didn’t really do much but it was great to be back on tbt after being out of service all weekend. :D

- I got to shoutout some of my friends here on tbt! I don’t tell my friends often enough how thankful I am for them, so I’m glad I got to show my appreciation.
- had a lovely chat with @Dunquixote! I always enjoy talking with them!
- Got to see the new staff members! They’re all familiar faces, so it will be cool to see how they like their new roles!
- Posted my first submission for the 6 Days of Scavenging event! Really looking forward to participating in the rest of it! The prizes are too good to pass up on.
 
-This one's technically from yesterday, but I worked in the time to do my first Fishing Tourney in New Horizons! I got one of each of the items, earned my bronze trophy, and actually managed to catch 100 fish in a row!! ;v; I often over-anticipate and reel in too early, so I wasn't sure I'd ever make that goal!

-Pulled off a victory in Hex-A-Gone for my squad in Fall Guys! 💪

-Ordered a soundtrack I've been thinking about getting! Yesterday was kinda stressful on me, but since I got some spending money as a belated-Christmas gift from a relative, I thought I'd treat myself a little.

-Got to try a few new teas today! 🥰 The jasmine-lavender one I tried is my definite favorite so far, though the orange teas are good too.

-Participated in the first day of the scavenger hunt and had a lot of fun!

-Found out that the new Shaman King anime will be coming to netflix on August 9th!! I'm so hyped AAAAAHH
 
-I spent a couple hours playing ACNH today.
-I have an appointment with my therapist in an hour from now over video. I'm looking forward to talking with her and discussing my problems with anxiety making it difficult to leave the house lately. And it will honestly be nice just to talk to someone in general because I'm alone basically 24/7 and it's been getting to me. I'm a total introvert and prefer being alone most of the time but even I need some social interaction sometimes. :)
-I'm making a smoothie later, I haven't made one in over 2 weeks which is unusual for me. I normally make them several times a week. So I'm definitely looking forward to that. It will be a butternut squash vanilla cinnamon protein smoothie w/ spinach. May sound weird, but it's good. You can't taste the spinach in it and it's a good way to get greens in without noticing you're even eating them.
-My complete official guide expanded edition (hardcover) for Zelda: Breath of the Wild came and it's absolutely gorgeous plus has tons and tons of information in it. I can't wait to get into it.
-My copy of Luigi's Mansion 3 came
-I started playing Super Mario Odyssey for the first time and it is so much fun! The graphics are awesome and the soundtrack is so cool.
 
I think my mental health is getting better. I'm starting to accept that an inevitable part of being autistic in this kind of society is having days where I'm just really down, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. I would usually put myself down for feeling that way but now I'm accepting it as part of who I am as a person. I need to be more kind to myself, especially because many people don't know how to be kind. I don't need to rely on anyone else for validation of my feelings and states-of-mind. so what if I had an off-day? it's fine, I still cared for myself and now when I have days like that I'll remember to be more gentle with myself too.
I'm also starting to be more aware of my anxiety as well as my boundaries. I think that awareness will help me a lot when I return home.


I'm also going to the beach again tomorrow so I'm really excited for that :D
 
I just took took my second antibiotic and am feeling significantly better. Have been dozing off which is good since I got no sleep last night and little sleep while waiting for pharmacy to fill my prescription.

My mom is letting me use her room again; my bed has not headboard so my pillows fall off the bed a lot making it hard to sleep sometimes. She made really good minestrone soup since she knew i cannot chew that much solid food right now with my jaw and teeth hurting so much. My mom is the best 💜. I love my mom so much. She and my dad did the kitty iv treatment today for me and she did the litter too because I’m not feeling good.

Saw Roy Mustang on the Japanese twitter for my game and in spite not having a lot of crystals left, am excited about the collab.

I still want to pull on current banner but these collab banners don’t return often. just hoping i get lucky. been many months since I pulled what I wanted on the unit or ark’s debut.

I’m enjoying the fishing tournament in pocket camp though the three hour cooldown to fish is annoying. One of my villagers gave me a hammerhead which helped me reach a goal in the game :)
 
Today has kind of felt a bit underwhelming in some ways - I didn't get everything done that I wanted but I also haven't been feeling very well so I'm trying to be a bit gentle with myself.

-I cut out pieces to make a mock up dress! I got to use my rotary cutter and it is so much faster. I still cut the skirt out by hand but cutting out the bodice and all the connecting pieces (sleeves, collar, etc) was done with the rotary cutter. I was able to stand up while I cut those pieces out too since they're small enough to fit on my table. I need a little more practice but overall I'm really happy with my rotary cutter!

-I tried to sew together my mock up and didn't get terribly far. I quickly sewed together the skirt and that does fit but the bodice needs a little more work. I tried to blend two pattern sizes together but I was a little nervous about it so I didn't do it properly, lol. The waist of the bodice fits but once it gets up to where my bust is it's too loose - which I kind of figured it would be as that's what my measurements said. I traced out a new version of the bodice and I'm nervous that this time it might be too small, lol. But I'll cut out a mock up of that soon to see! And then once I get that figured out I'll start practicing on the collar and sleeves.

-I realized that some of the bright orange fabric I picked up the other day is the same colour orange as the little cherries on a shirt I own! I never wear the shirt because it doesn't match any of my skirts (all my skirts have patterns on them so I wear them with plain tops) and I don't like how it looks with jeans. I might pause on my dress mock-up just to quickly make a skirt tomorrow. Well, over the next few days I don't think I'll finish the skirt in a day! Especially if I make a circle skirt because then it will need to hang overnight.
 
I'm happy now because I now know what I would like to do with my island. I've been watching a YouTuber named consolecaito and I really love what she is doing with her no terraforming island and wanted to do the same. I found an island similar to hers, but just a little different. So now I'm gonna work hard on it. 🥰
 
-I planned out a pretty decent chunk of a story I want to write today! ^^ I got some good ideas in the shower, which is rare for me—I usually just kinda blank out.
-I got inspired by some of the really nice name cards I've seen in the current scavenger hunt event, and so I made one for myself! I'm really happy with how it came out and I can't wait to start using it.
 
New fluffy guy to add into the collection! It's like a Samoyed, don't know where the plush starts and where it ends haha.

Also got to watch the Violet Evergarden movie with some friends on Discord, and oh boy did we all cry like babies. Going to probably take pain medication for the inevitable headache I'll be getting, but I really did enjoy the movie a lot. Beautifully animated as always, and I've been dying for this conclusion to the series.

Pretty soon, there will be no bed left if you keep getting squishables of that size 😂. Does the material fall off when you move it; asking since some material on things like fuzzy scarfs or whatnot kinda shed easily.

Super cute (in spite it being a bug shudder) 🥺

A little bit of the scarf does shed, the previous one I got, Hati, shed a lot more compared to the moth. I've come to the conclusion to give them a light quick beat before putting them on my bed to get any loose fuzz off. Definitely going to need a larger bed at this point haha.
 
posting this a bit later than normal since i fell asleep, but today/yesterday was okay. :)

• @CylieDanny said some really nice things about me in the “give a user some love” thread, which made my day! you’re absolutely lovely, danny, and i’d love to talk more as well! ^^
• @Totoroki told me that they love the art that i’ve made so far, which was unexpected but made me smile! i’m definitely still a beginner and am a bit insecure, but i’m really grateful for all of the positivity and compliments that i’ve received. it really means a lot. 🥺
• was able to do my daily postings on tbt coherently and without any frustration! i honestly always have a hard time putting my thoughts into words, even my most simplest of opinions, so the times where i’m able to do so easily really make me happy.
• had pizza and breadsticks for dinner.
• was worried that i’d only be able to submit 2/3 items for today’s scavenger hunt, as i wasn’t sure if i had a candle, but thankfully i was able to find one! am about to submit my photos now as well. 😊

Awe Xara your so sweet! I'm very happy to have made your day 💜
 
I got to spend the afternoon with my sister and I haven’t seen her in a few years. I feel like she’s my other half and the only person in the world who completely understands me because we’ve been through all of the same things. Even though it wasn’t as much time as I’ve liked I’m grateful for the time I did get.
Edit: also played some music for the first time in awhile 😊 and @xara said something very kind to me and it made me happy
