What Are You Happy About Today?

[-Blue-]

@NefariousKing Oh nice! Do you have anything planned for your b-day? One time I just used my b-day to take off from work and play games all day. It's always great to have a verification that something has been shipped/delivered.

@LadyDestani Having a calm day at home is sometimes the best. Being able to chill and recharge your batteries and the such. Hope your day and night was pleasant!

@Dunquixote I know you probably hear this a lot, but you just have to keep at it and practice. For what it is worth, I think your drawings are great. I only say the first part, because when I started drawing my stuff was so bad. Like anything, cartoonish, realistic, still-lifes ect. But I just kept at it and eventually I saw some talent in it. It's sort of like picking up any hobby.

I know coming from someone who has never shared any of their art here and is on a very long break (so I probably will need to get back to where I was) that this probably comes off as bad advice.

Nothing planned, birthdays for me are usually just regular days, just that I get cake at the end of it haha. Family sometimes pulls something though, so may have a small get together.

My husband’s parents bought a little cabin on the edge of the woods and they said we can use it any time. They gave us a video tour and it’s so cosy I want to spend my birthday there in the autumn

I did laundry! And took out the trash! I've been lacking motivation for quite awhile and things were starting to pile up. I feel much more motivated today. I actually woke up at 8 and got out of bed and stayed up. Made a really delicious smoothie earlier. I'm just enjoying the rainy overcast day, watching stuff on Netflix, reading, playing videogames, coloring in my coloring book. I might practice ukulele later

- Slept in this morning
- Cleaned my bathroom
- Did research into pre-built gaming PCs and I've come to a decision. Now, I just need to wait until Black Friday to see what deal there may be.
- Found some good resources for a new practice to implement at work, so I'll be writing up a proposal and sending that off to my boss and his boss this afternoon. Busy week ahead, so it's good to get ahead of the game.

Some of the stuff that made me happy happened yesterday, but I'll post a couple from today as well.

Yesterday

• Watched a bunch of old top gear videos and got a laugh out of them. The three hosts Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond can make even boring topics entertaining with their silly arguments and humour.

Spoiler: Okami stuff. No story spoilers involved!

So I finally completed Okami HD after roughly 42 hours of playing it! The cutscenes leading up to the final boss of the game made me a little sad, but happy at the same time due to the events I've done throughout the game. I'm not gonna go into detail as it contains spoilers. As for the final boss itself, it was tough, and had to figure things out on the fly. As I got to the second half of the battle, I heard this soundtrack that gave me goosebumps and pushed me to give it my all. Almost gave me tears even. After that, I beat the final boss of the game and got to see the ending and credits. As a bonus for doing so, I was awarded extras of concept art, soundtracks, and other stuff! Oh, and there was a new game plus option I started up on a separate save file. Am I going to play through the entire thing again? Heck yes I am! This game is worth way more than the $12.68 Canadian that I paid for. Sure, there are some flaws just like every other game, but it gets so many things right which has definitely become one of the top 5 favourite games I've ever played. I said a while back that Okami feels like a Zelda game. Well, I've come to the conclusion that the one that gives me the most vibes is Twilight Princess (after all, you are playing as a wolf!). Can we get Amaterasu for Smash Bros., please?

Today

• I got to watch the Formula 1 British Grand Prix today! It was a little uneventful, but there were some battles throughout the race. Though, things were getting intense near the end that my heart started racing (pun not intended). There was a racing incident that's pretty controversial and the haters are gonna have a field day with this. However, I am staying well clear away from the race highlights video and social media where those types of people will just spew hate, toxicity, and needless arguments since I've got better things to do. Besides, what good will come out of it?
• Sort of staying on topic with Formula 1, it makes me happy seeing huge crowds of people watching the race. And wow, their cheer is so loud that you can even hear it on TV and perhaps a little louder than the cars themselves. It's nice seeing some things heading back to normal. For those in the UK, I hope you're all doing all right.

@jadetine finished the artwork that I commissioned her to make. I’m so happy how it turned out; I’m extremely grateful for all the time and effort she put into it . Thank you so much for doing such a big request! You’re so amazing and don’t forget it! This seriously made my day; seeing my eighteen year old kitty as a baby again just melted my heart and my 20 year old fluff baby getting hugs from Hubie . Brings back memories of how tiny she was when we got her and her sister (the owners gave us them way before they should have been taken away from their mom cat, which still upsets me but I am grateful we got them since who knows if they would’ve had a good home had we not been given them).

 

[LadyDestani]

Overall, this weekend was pretty good. I was able to relax and de-stress for the most part. Lately, my life has felt like it's moving at mach speed, but this weekend it felt like time slowed back down to a normal pace.

Also, I got the Cocotryoshka collectible that I was hoping for from the Scavenger Hunt event.

 

[Princess Mipha]

It is still hot and sunny, so that's nice. Also I just sold one of my Tamagotchis

 

[Disneyfangirl23]

My new eye mask from Katieloxton.com should come in the post today~♡

My brother came over last night so we all had a nice long chat until like 1 AM lol. We're heading to Edinburgh tomorrow so that's exciting!

I've also found myself getting back into Pokemon recently, so I finally completed the Delta Episode on my Alpha Sapphire game. I'm happy about it since I've been kind of bored recently with no specific interests/hobbies that can keep my interested.

Unfortunately we will have to postpone Edinburgh for this year but hopefully we can go next year It just feels like the right decision.

i was happy because i finally got to put my cat's collar on her... but she took it off minutes later so guess i'm not so happy about it anymore

 

[xSuperMario64x]

my fav part about waking up is spending an hour lying in a warm bed inside a cold room. pure bliss ☺

also the quirky doll might just be up there in my S tier favorite collectibles lol

 

[Autumn247]

My cappuccino mixes are being delivered today! Yay and the really bad headache I woke up with went away thanks to some ibuprofen and coffee.

And I slept good last night, the previous night I only got 4 hours of sleep so I was very tired

 

[tiffanistarr]

I WORKED OUT TODAYYYY!!!! omg yall... i've had so many health issues that have really screwed with my hormones and weight and then when you add depression and a freakin' pandemic on top of it i really gained some weight and fell so far out of shape but today while i was waiting for my dinner i said you know what girl lets work out! it was only around 25-30 mins but I feel freaking GREAT about it. I feel like i'm finally doing it for me and i'm already more energized than usual at this time of day. I just feel so great about it!!!

 

[Croconaw]

It’s my Friday at work and I currently have two nights off in a row. I have been working a lot lately (thanks to call-offs or people not showing up) but my upcoming paycheck should be decent, especially with the holiday pay. This really helps because I am saving up for something and my goal is to get as much saved as possible.

 

[LadyDestani]

Even though I had a rough day at work today, I completed everything I planned on accomplishing so that's something.

But then, I checked my email and I finally got an update from my brother's payee! They informed me that Social Security had set them up as the payee but accidentally did not activate the payments. Gotta love that. But that should all be corrected now and the payee is expecting to receive my brother's money soon. This has been going on since February!!! When he finally starts receiving his money again, I'll be so happy.

 

[.: Meri :.]

-Finally got Renee's photo in New Leaf!! I've enjoyed having Renee, but whenever she's ready to move on, I'm going to let her go so I can finally move in my final dreamie, Pashmina!
-My soundtrack that I ordered arrived today! The box had, uh, clearly seen better days, which had me pretty concerned, but the CD and case itself were in perfect condition, so I'm relieved about that.

 

[CylieDanny]

I finally finished/posted part 2 of my comic Now onto part three

 

[Nefarious]

Got to hang out in call with a friend for a good while. We watched some cartoons together, and I got to watch as they drew for their animatic project. It lend to lots of jokes and bantering, I ended up laughing so much that my stomach started to hurt by the end of it. It's just really nice having those kind of moments every once in a while.

This is super late, and I haven’t posted here in awhile, but I am happy about several things. I got to play Smash Ultimate with a good longtime friend and ended up winning 5 or 6 matches in a row with Kazuya before my streak was put to an end. I’ve gotten a lot better at shielding and the game in general since I started training with him (my friend) over a year ago. I also got an achievement tonight for having reached 1,000 battles fought. Also had a really good dinner. Finally, I took a look at myself and thought about the kind of person I am, and realized that today is the best I’ve felt about myself in awhile.
