What Are You Happy About Today?

i’m absolutely exhausted and am definitely ready for bed lol, but today was a pretty good day!

🎨 went out with my mom at like,, 2am to go get food. this isn’t something that we do very often, but i always enjoy it as not only do i get to spend some time with her, i get food out of it as well LOL.
🧚🏻‍♀️ a new chapter of one of the fanfics i’ve been reading was published + i read a new fanfic as well, and enjoyed it!
🌿 once again saw some more new content from the suicide squad!
🌈 finally posted a new island journal entry!
 
I am thrilled that Canada's women's soccer team managed to beat the US 1-0 in the Olympic semi-finals to advance to the gold medal game! I never thought they could actually beat the US, especially since it was 20 years since they last beat them, but man, what a time to finally beat them and get revenge for the Canada-US semi-finals match in 2012. I'm really hoping they can win on Thursday and take the gold medal home (and I'm also happy that I can watch them play for gold at a reasonable hour, lol).
 
anchovy is finally leaving my new leaf town lol good riddance

bad thing is I also time traveled forward 5 days to make him leave and my player, who is now canonically dark skinned, has lost his tan so he looks really weird lol. wish NL allowed players to pick a skin color like HHD and NH.
 
Didn’t get a chance to post yesterday, but I used the holiday to make new cages for my guinea pigs with my boyfriend. We still have a couple little tweaks we want to do but the majority of it is done.

Only the elderly pig doesn’t really climb the ramp but that’s fine. The upper floor is mostly to separate them at food time anyways and the other pig she shares the cage with loves running up the ramp. The other lone pig (she doesn’t get along with the others) also got an upper floor as she’s the most energetic one of the bunch.

I had a good day, I got my monthly injection finally (they messed up my appointment time last week so it had to be re-scheduled), so I'm glad about that. And I also walked about a mile to a store and bought some groceries. It was nice to get out in the sun. I have been spending the evening going back and forth between reading two different books and also watching an anime on Netflix :) Hoping for a productive day tomorrow!
 
Today was a really good day.

- I didn't have to work today.

- I slept really well last night and got to sleep late. I woke up feeling rested and had very little back pain.

- Crunchyroll started working again. For the past two days, it wasn't acknowledging our Premium access, but it fixed itself today.

- I started watching Fumetsu no Anata e (To Your Eternity) and I am so in love with this series after just the first episode.

- The weather was absolutely gorgeous today. It was sunny and what I consider the perfect temperature at right around 80 degrees.

- I spent some quality time with my husband and my dog, just chilling, playing games and watching TV.
 
Today has been a little rough but there's been some good parts, too!

- @Plume finished my avatar and I am absolutely in love!! I think it turned out so cute and she went above and beyond helping me figure out how to get it to fit as an avatar on here. I always love Plumes art and this is no exception 💕 I think it matches with my signature so well 💕Plus we got to chat a little bit about sewing which is always a lot of fun since nobody else I know sews!

-My kitties have been really lovey today and I appreciate them so much. I think they can tell I'm not feeling well (I'm not sure if I'm developing an intolerance to something, if it's an anxiety issue, or what but my tummy has just been perpetually nauseous lately. Super lame) and they're being extra sweet. My fluffier cat in particular keeps following me around, it's really cute!

-I was on Sephora because I like to look at sparkly things, lol, and when I was putting things in my fictional basket I noticed a birthday gift was in there! My birthday was back in May so it wasn't letting me redeem it but I talked to the loveliest customer service girl and she let me have the birthday gift anyways 😭 She waived the shipping fee and everything so it's totally free! I mean I think the shipping would've been free regardless because they do have a "free shipping to Canada" promo code right now, but still. I'm so excited, I love free things!!

-My girlfriends been super sweet. I mean she's always sweet and I love her tons but especially recently. I've been having a lousy time with feeling nauseous and my skin is just. So angry at me 😔 but she's been really lovely and never makes me feel bad for venting about stuff. Which might seem minor but growing up my dad has always had chronic pain, some days really severely, so complaining about things is something I always feel really guilty about. Like whatever I'm going through pales in comparison to my dad and it can be tricky sometimes but she's always so kind about everything. 💕

-I took apart a dress I made a little bit ago that I wasn't pleased with and I might try fixing it up soon! I want to finish the seams differently (definitely going to do French seams, the material frays so easily) and when I was laying out the fabric to see what I had to work with I think I should have enough extra to make sleeves! I initially wanted to make sleeves for the dress but couldn't figure out how - I have a little puff sleeve pattern though that fits perfectly on the extra fabric which is exciting!
 
I had a pretty good day today ☺

-I called and rescheduled my dentist appointment which I'm sure sounds like a very easy task but I really hate calling places, I'm glad that I was able to do this though and did not put it off for too long.
-I thought of a really good idea of what to make for my friend for my next embroidery project! I do need to pick something up at the store before I can start on it but I'm really excited about my idea.
-Bought some collectibles today that will hopefully give me more lineup options in the future
-My package came in today with two things that I've been meaning to order for a while. Firstly I bought myself a proper stylus for drawing on my tablet. During the last forum event I had started to try to do some digital drawings and I did actually find it quite enjoyable so I decided to get a real stylus so that I can practice some more and be ready for future site events that have some sort of art element. The other thing I had ordered is an RCA to hdmi converter so that I can connect my gamecube to my TV and be able to play again. My partner and I played Mario party :)
 
-We've been seeing a hummingbird hovering around our window lately iT'S A GOVERNMENT DRONE, so we put up a hummingbird feeder today. And oh my god, this thing summoned an army out of nowhere—I have never seen so many hummingbirds at once. I'm glad they seem to like it so much and they're all really adorable, so it's nice to see all of them outside the window. The cats are also finding this new addition to be very entertaining, so that's another perk.
-I'm getting back into making embroidery floss bracelets! I finished one I've been working on and then completed two more today. I'm hoping to get some more done before school starts back up, so my dad can give them out as prizes to his students who don't want or can't have the candy prizes.
 
I practiced a few songs on ukulele. I'm learning a few Christmas songs so by time the holidays roll around I'll be good at them and can post videos of me playing them on Facebook for friends and family to see :)

My mini artificial succulents I bought for my apartment are coming today! And I finally had enough energy/motivation to get myself to vacuum :)
