What Are You Happy About Today?

[deana]

I was in a very weird and overwhelmed mood today but I managed to survive the day which is good. I also found a nice new outdoor area near my work (new to me, I guess it's been there for a while I just didn't know about it) and I'm going to take more of my breaks there from now on

Today was busy and exhausting, but a lot of good things happened.

- I watched a bunny and a groundhog in my backyard while I was working.
- I got a lot of work done today and left things in really good condition.
- I am now officially on vacation until August 9th!
- I spent the evening with my in-laws and got to see my niece and nephews.
- The two youngest kids were so cuddly with me and one of them told me he had missed me. Awww!
- I had some really good pizza for dinner.
- My sister-in-law said she may bring the kids up again before school starts. So I might get to see them again in just a few weeks.

-My mom helped me identify a flower I'd been really curious about! I'd tried to find it on my own before, but didn't have any luck—she identified the exact flower on her third guess, ahaha.
-My younger cat keeps doing this really cute thing where he'll look me straight in the eye and then flop over onto his back like "fight me". At first I thought he just wanted belly rubs, but he was, uh, quick to correct me on that front. ^^;

Yesterday:
- Accomplished what I had set out to finish at work.
- I might do a bit of work to get ahead of the shortened week due to this long weekend, but I'll play it by ear and see how my energy levels are.
- Talked with my S/O about how I am feeling like there is a battle going on in my head now to find the balance between my Type-A personality and the more spiritually enlightened me. I felt a lot better afterwards, and he said I'm doing really well in terms of maintaining awareness of the conflict and being intentional about my mindset about external rewards.
- My mom made a really yummy fish in soup, since it was a bit cooler yesterday, and I had some glass noodles.
- Received my reusable cloth pads from Canada Post one business day earlier than anticipated. Gave them a wash, and I'm excited to use them during my next cycle! Also feels great to have planted 10 trees.

Today:
- Enjoying my coffee and finishing up a book!
- The pads just need a couple more hours of air drying. ^_^

My son's pre-school teacher stopped us in the hallway when I went to drop him off the other day. I was concerned something terrible was about to come to light, but she wanted to express how much she will miss him and how he comforted another student by singing a Daniel Tiger song about how parents always come back.

He might not be able to count to 100 or write his name properly, but to know my son is capable of such empathy has filled me with pride and hope for the future. Technical skills and knowledge can be learned, but to lead with kindness and to make decisions with such care will elevate everyone around him. I'm so happy!

• Me, my sister, and my mother went biking this morning to go to a place I'll be mentioning in a bit. I was surprised my sister was able to identify a car while we were biking (it was a PT Cruiser AGAIN. I swear, ever since I mentioned that car on here, I've been seeing it a tad more often). That's quite unusual of her. Perhaps she's starting to be like me eyeing out which cars are which based on their looks lol. Speaking of which, I spotted a Honda Civic Type R. I've seen so many regular Honda Civics, but the Type R versions are pretty uncommon, so that's nice.
• We biked to Sunset Grill to eat pancakes and home fries out on the patio. With cool temperatures at the time around 20C, we had a good time and got full pretty quickly with some leftovers!
• I went to Best Buy to buy something. After almost five years of waiting since the Welcome Amiibo update dropped for New Leaf (wait, has it really been that long?), I finally got the Sanrio Amiibo Cards! But it wasn't for me, though. In fact, it was for my sister! She wanted to get them ever since they've been released but were quickly snatched to be sold online for hundreds or maybe even thousands of dollars! Thanks to @CanuckChick for reminding those who live in Canada that the cards have been restocked, I was able to buy one before they sold out! The store I went to is one of the few locations that had them (and thankfully near where I live) while the majority had none left. In the end, it made my sister really happy that she was finally able to get what she wanted after waiting for so long. Now she's making good use of them. Take that, scalpers! Patience really is a virtue after all!

Yay!! I was in the same boat as your sis @Shellzilla I wanted the Sanrio cards from back in NL, but the official one wasn't available anymore and the etsy ones were still too pricey for me, so didn't get it til this year. Glad to help and it's funny the Sanrio scalpers' prices have really dropped in Canada lol. Here's hoping the cards will be re-stocked in other countries too!

And pancakes & fries...yumm!!

I managed to fix my stomach issues, so I've been feeling much better today ☺ It's a big relief lol, a week of stomach cramps can really mess up your life, I'm pretty sure it came from not eating as healthy as usual while I was on holiday, or from all the extra energy I'd been burning. All it took to fix the issue was a couple of pots of activia yoghurt.

I've also been getting into watching the olympics! The time in Japan is actually great for me and my messed up sleep schedule

Manager finally broke and let us go back to working from home. Not permanent as of yet but it's a nice step in the right direction

 

[Autumn247]

I'm happy my side stopped hurting, it hurt all day and for some reason it didn't occur to me to just take some ibuprofen so I finally remembered I had some so I did take it and now my side feels much better.

I played ACNH for a couple hours while listening to a new episode of one of my favorite Nintendo Switch podcasts

 

[AlyssaAC]

My mom is coming home from my brother’s house next week. It felt so lonely without her, so I’m definitely happy for that!

 

[Midoriya]

- I got to sleep in because it’s a Saturday.
- New MHA episode today and it’s looking like it’s going to be a good one.
- I baked cinnamon rolls!

I saw my aunt for the first time in a year and she gave me a pack of socks with rabbits/hares on them. She knows what I'm all about. Everytime I get a card from her she makes sure there's a cat or rabbit on the front and then she covers the envelope in SPCA stickers. She's the best aunt.

 

[LadyDestani]

A few good things happened today:

- I got to sleep in this morning and get some rest after my very busy day yesterday.

- I talked to my mom and she got some good news from her doctor.

- I was too busy to check my email last night but I got another update from my brother's new payee. They have received the info from social security regarding the amount that is on the way to them, so they want to talk to me on Monday to start getting his billing information set up.

I haven’t been very happy lately, but just found out I won an art raffle which really made me happy ☺.

My dad came home from work with some roasted almonds . That was so incredibly thoughtful of him ☺; it isn’t often he does that for me.

Been enjoying chatting with some people on a discord server. Been getting more comfortable talking day by day.

I’ve been playing Fire Emblem Three Houses again and am having a lot of fun .

I have don't have any work tomorrow and even though I am really sick with a stomach bug or something I can just sleep in for however long I want.

You're really making me want cinnamon rolls now Saitama! I doubt my tummy is as agreeing as I am right now lol.

 

[SublimeDonut]

bought some beautiful gray pants today. they're loose and embroidered with red and dark green flowers. can't wait for an occasion to wear it!
also tomorrow i'm going to a friend's new ice cream shop. her gelato is homemade and delicious and there's like four different cherry flavors, my fave fruit.

-I'm a long ways off from this yet, but today I decided against self-publishing my book when it's finished. I know that getting a book published through a publisher (is there a snappier way to phrase that) is far from easy, but just deciding to go this route has relieved a lot of stress I've been having over advertising/marketing/cover design/etc. And the fear of having a self-published book go totally unnoticed. I'm feeling a lot better about it now.
-Unlocked Colossal Rampart in Minecraft Dungeons with practically no trouble thanks to a very helpful video by DcSK! I'd been dreading hunting for this secret area, but it went incredibly quickly using his method.
-Also played a little bit more of PMD: Blue Rescue Team—only did a few random missions this time, but I reached Gold Rank!
-My mom invited my aunt and me to her K.K. Slider concert today, and it was a lot of fun! It eventually culminated in me chasing my aunt around the island with a net. She could not escape me and swiftly surrendered.

I am ordering the personalized autograph of voice actress of Princess Daisy!
