What Are You Happy About Today?

my new spice containers should be getting here today so that I can sit down and go through my cabinet and label all of my spices like chefs do. I usually really love cooking and experimenting with food (esp since my diet changed 4 years ago). I just haven't felt up to any of it and have been eating a lot of pre-packaged food because the amount of items I have in my pantry are a bit overwhelming.

im very excited to start cooking homemade meals again. ive missed it.
 
Mom and dad's doctors are talking about the kinds of things they'll need to do when they come home, so it's very reassuring to hear them talking about 'when they come home' instead of 'well, if we make it past this thing'

They both have a lot of physical therapy to do, but the fact that they seem to be on the mend is wonderful!

I also started working on my hobbies again, which has helped with my depression a lot, so that's good, too ^^
 
my line friends package came today! super super happy with what i bought :)

I cut bangs today and they turned out really nice 😊 I missed having bangs, I don’t know why I grew them out now? I have been cutting my own hair for years because honestly I don’t trust hair stylists because they always want to straighten my hair which makes me feel bad. Waves and curls are beautiful too :mad:
 
I'm happy because the nurse called me today to reschedule my monthly abilify injection to next week. I went for it yesterday but they said I had the wrong appointment time, but I couldn't come back for my actual appointment time because I only had one ride there. So I just had to leave without getting it, then I called and left a message asking to reschedule. At least I'll get it eventually.

Also, there was a new episode of my favorite animal crossing podcast today so I listened to that and played some ACNH

Had pork and cabbage potstickers for dinner so that was delicious! :)
 
I've been able to get a little reading in recently! I've always liked reading but haven't had time for it in a while, and it's been nice to get back into it a little—especially in physical-book-form, where I don't have to fret so much over blue light, eheh.
 
I've sold Majoras Mask 3D + my New 2DS XL.. it hurts a lot to sell this console (and all the games with it), because it was my favorite console for such a long time.. but I haven't used it since so long and I can use the money for a lot more important things. I'm just glad the person I've sold it to is really friendly. :)
 
I keep forgetting that I booked this coming Friday off from work. So I keep thinking "ugh it's only Wednesday", but then I remember tomorrow is my last work day for the week. :)

Also Monday is a "holiday" so I have that off as well. So it's almost extra long 4 day weekend time. ^_^
 
I'm about to get started on a project I've put on hold for some days/weeks. So it's awesome to have time freed up to be able to work on it again.

@Corrie Nice, that poster is awesome! And so dynamic and detailed.

Not bad slime. I don't know the show, but out of context that line is pretty funny.

@Holla I know that feeling. Sometimes I would go to work and then realize I have the next day off and not remember until like before I'm about to leave for the day. It's a nice feeling when you come to that realization. It's better than realizing that 'Oh wait I do have work tomorrow.' which I have had happen and it sucks lol.
 
I made hard boiled eggs today, I’ve been meaning to for awhile. I’m trying to eat healthier.
I weighed myself and was pleasantly surprised to see I’ve barely gained any weight after a couple months of stress eating.
Im drinking coffee out of my snowman mug because Christmas in July :)
 
- I’m going to martial arts again tonight, which I’m excited about.
- I’m talking with a family friend about getting a job nearby that would be something good for now (until I find something I really want).
- I’m in contact with several people about potential job opportunities.
- My kitty cuddled with me the other night and I didn’t even realize she was in the same room. 😆

EDIT: Not to mention I love my family and all of my friends! :D

I've been ill with some kind of stomach issue for the past few days but re-playing Pokemon Shield is cheering me up! I caught an authentic Sinistea for the first time and spent 3 hours time travelling for a Chipped Pot to evolve it with haha, I'm glad I finally got one just now! 😅

The heat wave in the UK has also ended, now we're back to constant rain, which is a relief lol
 
Hoo boy, where do I start?
-Got to talk with my grandma agian and it turns out that I'll be able to visit her a bit sooner than I expected, I should be able to visit on Sunday!
-i got 2 of my dream collectibles today, a black mushroom and a blue rose which I'm happy to own.
-One of my best friends on the site, @Kirbyz came back, and I was chatting with her for a bit. I'm glad she's back as the forums weren't the same without her. I was also thinking of drawing something to celebrate, so look forward to that!
-Got to watch the boondocks season 4 and it's actually pretty good, a lot of people say it was bad compared to other seasons but I don't think it's that bad.
-Watched star trek with my dad
-Had my post count at 3,333 which I thought was good luck as I heard 3 is good luck, but since Kirbyz came back the same day, I think that proves 3 is good luck.
-Was talking to someone about a potential part time job. I don't really need a job right now as I'm only 16, but I considered the person's offer.
-Got to meet my new principal at my new high school in person and I really like her. I think this school is going to be a step in the right direction
 
  • I went biking with my father and sister today. At first, I thought about it whether or not I should come, but I eventually did since there wasn't much to do around the house. Anyway, it lasted for around three hours and went quite far! We biked along a trail where there were trees surrounding it giving us a nice shade. I was a little surprised that we reached the end in a short amount of time due to traveling for a few kilometres. There were some dogs along the way including a German shepherd, a corgi, and a samoyed. I don't know the rest of the breeds lol. Did I mention that my legs were burning throughout? I'm definitely gonna feel stiff tomorrow, but it's nice to get my blood pumping and some exercise out of it.
  • While I was waiting to cross the road (the trail went through some streets), I spotted a Toyota GT86, or at least thought so at first. When I looked at the back of the car when it passed by, it said 'FRS'. I said to myself, "No way it isn't a GT86. The design looks the same!". I looked it up when I got home and turns out it's most likely a Scion FR-S, which is pretty much Toyota's American counterpart. They own the brand and produced cars for it (though, the brand itself was later discontinued in 2016). The logos for both Toyota and Scion look similar from a distance, so it didn't help especially when the sun was glaring on the car lol.
  • I cooked some beefsteak for dinner. It tasted delicious, especially with sliced onions!
  • Got to play a little bit on my Switch and PS3 today.
  • Snuck in some animation practice in the evening. This time, it's a piece of paper swinging side to side and eventually settling on the ground. I partially incorporated animating on ones to make it slightly smoother and quicker for the eyes.
 
Yesterday was a nightmare so I'm happy to say that today was a little bit better. It was still a busy day, but there were some good things that happened.

- I took care of something at the credit union so that's one less thing to worry about.
- I had a chiropractor appointment and the massage was really nice.
- I was early to my appointment so I sat in the car and listened to Stairway to Heaven as that song happened to come on the radio then.
- I only have two more days of work and then I'm off all next week.
- I get to see my niece and nephews tomorrow.

But the main thing I'm happy about:
- My mom's cat is back home and seems to be feeling better. She had to rush him to the vet yesterday. He had fluid in his lungs and an infection. They kept him overnight, drained the fluid and sent him home today with an antibiotic for the infection. He goes back for another evaluation next week. But I saw him this evening and he's breathing easier than he has in months, so I hope he'll make a full recovery.
