What Are You Happy About Today?

I was feeling down, but a friend asked to do something for me and it made me happy again. I don’t know how, but whenever I’m feeling down on myself I always have at least one or a couple friends that are there to support me. Whether it’s family, friends, or anyone else, people make their way into my heart in the most unexpected of ways to make me feel better. I also gave my cat, Lulu, some canned food tonight, and she meowed happily at me. :giggle:
 
• I’m very excited for the Camp event. 🏕 I look forward to making friends within my cabin and having fun with everyone!
• There’s some drama going in within my workplace currently, but I’m happy with the way I’m handling it. Luckily I have less than two months left at this place, but I’m hanging in there for the extra money.
• I’m going to see my dog later tonight. He’s a chocolate lab and he’s my best friend. I love dogs because they don’t judge you and they make great companions.
• I slept very well. I used these past few days to catch up on some much needed sleep.
 
My new set of pink and green joycons will arrive today! So excited to get new colors. And I don't have to deal with the drift on my original joycons anymore.

Also, my cappuccino mixes I ordered come today too so later I'm going to enjoy a white chocolate caramel cappuccino while watching Toradora! (it's a cute anime series on Netflix) :)

edited to add: I was feeling very stressed this evening but just took a long hot shower and feel a lot better

I made some plans to go to a theme park later this month with my friends!

I feel better after dealing with the side effects from my second COVID vaccine for a couple of days (I just had some mild flu-like symptoms and a sore arm). And I've also been enjoying watching a new anime, while having a relaxing day today and getting some laundry done lol
 
I was just thinking about my weekend and I couldn't help but smile the whole time I was thinking about it.

I went to a revolving sushi restaurant for the first time and I loved it! I'm becoming more adventurous with food, so I tried many dishes I would've never ordered before and my favorites were the 'tuna sashimi' with jalapeño and yuzu sauce (the mild kick from the jalapeño combined with the citrus flavor of the yuzu was just amazing 10/10), and the egg tart (which is a much better dessert than flan imo). Everything else was also really good, but those were the highlights.

I was also able to find the gen 4 'first partner pack' of oversized Pokémon cards! They release a new region every month, so I thought I was going to miss out on the Sinnoh starters and I'm super glad I didn't since Pokémon Pearl was my first ever Pokémon game. I was also able to find the new Flick acnh felted mini figure, now he can keep Flurry some company~

I got the chance to meet up with friends on Friday, we went to a board game café and I had an amazing time. Something hilarious happened and I laughed to the point where no noise was coming out anymore (I needed to take a breath but I couldn't because I was to busy laughing). Tbh, I don't remember when the last time I laughed like that was, but I'm grateful I had the chance.

Those same friends convinced me to go kayaking on Saturday and I bit the bullet. I had never gone kayaking before and I don't know how to swim but I wasn't anxious about it, I knew that if anything happened, my partner and/or my friends had my back, plus we all had life vests. I enjoyed kayaking MUCH more than I thought I would. I'm even considering getting my own life vest instead of using a rented one every time.

Just got an email saying my Shimon Benimaru (from the anime Fire Force) figure just shipped! Can't wait to get him delivered!
 
I’m happy about the surprise stream that just started ☺️ and the VA said hi to me and a bunch of others. There won’t be any other streams this week but that’s okay :).

Been also having a lot of fun working on my other entries for the contest. I really want that rainbow jelly ☺️.
 
-Made a little bit more progress planning my book!
-Also finished my postcard for Camp Bell Tree! It was really fun to work on (I can't remember the last time I tried a proper underwater background), and I'm also glad to be all caught up on tasks for now!
-The first season of the new Shaman King anime came out on Netflix today!!! I've been watching episodes on breaks today, and I'm already almost halfway through. I guess I won't be making this season last, but it's amazingly well done and I'm really enjoying it! It's been a long time since I've binged on an anime like this.
 
A lot of good news for mom today! She is fully awake and cognitive today and they got her off of her high blood pressure medications! They are working on weaning her from the vent, and they plan to start her basic physical therapy within the next couple of days

Dad has been slowly improving, too; his lung doctor said that he has already improved a lot since the weekend, and he is already working on physical therapy

They are going to transfer them to a hospital that focuses on rehab and getting them home, which is really good! The hospital social workers are doing everything within their power to get them into the same rehab hospital so that they can just call over to each other's rooms and also so it'll be easier when we're visiting

tl;dr: I'm super happy that my parents are showing big signs of improvement and that we're closer to getting them home!
 
I had a good day today and got a lot done. I planned out and prepared some meals for the week since I'll be working kinda late, vacuumed the living room, had a nice time playing Animal Crossing, called my mom, and worked on my embroidery project. I also came up with an idea of what I might do for my postcard for the camp event so that's good although I probably won't be able to actually start work on it until later.
 
I had a productive morning. Took the trash out, did laundry, swept and mopped the bathroom and kitchen floors.

Have an appointment with my psychiatrist in about an hour, I'm excited to tell her I'm getting into vocational rehabilitation so I can get a part-time job! :)
 
My fish Fuit Gummy is finally swimming again! He's been sick the past couple of weeks with something keeping him floating almost constantly. It was really frustrating for him and he would often thrash around and hurt himself further. I can't imagine it was painless.

But now he's swimming! He's rising and falling like normal now but he's, understandably, staying low and hidden for the time being. He's not out of the woods yet as he's still clearly weak and ragged but I really hope he can make a full recovery.
 
My rabbit seems to be doing a lot better. He finally ate and he stopped shaking. I will of course still keep an eye on him.
Have to admit though, I'm a bit shocked that the Veterinaire didn't accept to take him anytime soon. Glad it worked out though.

Also I've sold a Tamagotchi once again and now I'm back on track with the money! ☺
