What Are You Happy About Today?

My partner put the butterfly drawing I made for Camp TBT on the fridge. I thought it sucked but he thought it was good enough for the fridge door It felt like I was in elementary school again getting my school project displayed with a fridge magnet.

I got a moonlight egg today! Thank you, @Foreverfox!

I had a rough day yesterday and my back was feeling the pain from all the stress I was under, but it's feeling a bit better today. I have another chiropractor appointment tomorrow and I'm looking forward to that massage.

i of course fell a bit behind in posting again, but last week ended on a good note for me, and this week’s been good so far as well!

sunday (08/08)
managed to muster up enough energy to create some birthday art for @LittleMissPanda! it wasn’t anything spectacular, but it made me really happy that she seemed to like it regardless! her response to my birthday wishes also put a huge smile on my face and honestly made my day! she’s truly an absolutely wonderful woman who deserves nothing but good things. <3
had a frozen chocolate covered banana or two and it was delicious!!
watched the suicide squad again! this was my first time seeing a movie in theatres twice, but it’s such a good movie!
had a lot of fun conversing in the “7/28/21 bell tree direct” thread in anticipation of the start of camp bell tree!
tidied up my room a bit.
read a new fanfic and it was really good! the author’s unsure of whether or not they’ll continue it, but i certainly hope that they do!
camp bell tree officially started!!!! the start of an event is always a bit overwhelming for me tbh, but this event’s been amazing so far and i’m having lots of fun with it! plus, the new collectibles are incredible!
my kitty meowed at me.

monday (08/09)
began working on and submitted an entry for one of camp bell tree’s ocean contests!! i’m still a bit bummed out that i couldn’t submit the background that i made for my entry, but i still had fun with it! maybe i’ll create an art thread sometime so that it doesn’t wind up just chilling in my camera roll.
got some things that i needed/wanted from the grocery store!
changed my avatar in honour of camp bell tree! i wasn’t sure what to change it to, but i remembered a scene from the suicide squad that would be perfect for my cabin’s trip to the ocean this week, and i was thankfully able to find a gif of it!!! i still need to find something for my signature, though, and come up with a blue collectible lineup. :’)
my kitty meowed at me several times today!

today (08/10)
had a yummy breakfast.
a new chapter of two fanfics that i’ve been reading were published today, and as per usual, they were both awesome! one of the chapters actually marked the end of the story, and while i’m honestly really sad that it’s over, it was an amazing fanfic and i enjoyed it a lot. <3
found some new favourite edits of some of my favourite fictional characters!
began brainstorming an idea for my “tales from our travels” entry for camp bell tree, and found out that my idea should be eligible to be accepted! i haven’t seen anyone else do something like it yet, so i definitely hope that it works out and that i’m able to do a good job.

my first tbt event is going really well, really like my cabin mates and our insane work ethic

 

[.: Meri :.]

Finished watching the first season of the new Shaman King anime!! I'm a little sad about a few parts that were cut/glossed over, but I still really enjoyed it and am super hyped for the next season! Also feeling hopeful that if the anime's successful enough, we might finally get an official English release of the Shaman King Kang Zeng Bang manga.

It was my first shift today being the "manager on duty" since my promotion. Up until now I've always been working with another manager there but today I was the one in charge. Everything went smoothly though which I am really grateful for. (Assuming my boss doesn't tell me tomorrow that there was something I forgot )

I also treated myself to getting a blind box enamel pin and I got the one I wanted the most! I never buy those blind box things because I have terrible luck but I decided to go outside my comfort zone today lol

 

[Dunquixote]

I am finally done with my postcard. took me two to three full days and evenings to finish the front and just finished the back. I really hope i don’t need to redo it; I’m really happy with how it turned out even though it doesn’t compare to the other post cards.

My care manager told me her sister has a cat that is about to have kittens and that I can have one if I want. Which I’m super excited about because I’ve been heartbroken the past year and a half since my cat passed away. My psychiatrist said she’d sign papers so I can have an emotional support pet in my apartment since it would be good for me.

I filled out the application for the vocational rehabilitation program and am turning it in today!

I’m just relaxing today because I don’t feel good and didn’t get enough sleep so I’m gonna play some ACNH, Zelda BOTW, and listen to my favorite animal crossing podcast

Got some nook miles tickets @bestfriendsally tysm!

• I’m having mixed feelings about my decision, but I’ve quit my toxic job last night. I think the high turnover rate they have was a huge red flag in itself, but now I have to look for something else temporarily. It feels like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders anyhow. This decision was hard but I know it wasn’t the wrong decision.
• I managed to get so much sleep last night and it was actually a good sleep. It felt good to empty my mind, but I did put in an application somewhere this morning. I’m waiting a bit to see if I hear back.

• Been doing a lot of overtime at work but to be honest, I don’t mind. For once I’m really enjoying work!
• Been loving having a banana smoothie for my breakfast as of late (1 banana, 1tbsp peanut butter and oat milk for those of you interested)
• I’m also very much enjoying reading again and have noticed a drop in time spent on social media/my phone which has helped immensely with my anxiety
• Going in the hot tub tonight (much needed after a busy day today)
• Sorting out more house stuff tomorrow after work feels nice to tick things off the list and know we’re making progress!

- I came clean and told my parents that I've been seeing my S/O for the past five years and counting over dinner last night. No nuclear fallout! I was surprised that I didn't have to field any questions about religion, though I know the topic will come up sooner or later. That's a later me problem, and I'll just take this small win for now.
- In ACNH, I invited Cookie from the campsite after winning the card game and Cookie asking a villager I was willing to part ways with on my first attempt. She's so pink and adorable!

 

[xSuperMario64x]

I'm gettin dino plushies soon I love them sm

 

[Xara]

posting this semi-early as i’m absolutely exhausted and don’t want to fall asleep before posting lol, but today was decent.

added the clownfish plush collectible to my collection!! it’s so cute.
tt’d del out + went island hopping and invited ketchup on my 20th nmt in acnh!! ketchup’s absolutely adorable and i’m so excited to have her! <3
read a new fanfic and enjoyed it! the final chapter to one of the other fanfics that i’ve been reading was published today as well, and while i’m sad that it’s over, it’s a great story and i thoroughly enjoyed reading it!
found a new favourite song!
my camp bell tree cabin officially received 1,000 ocean tokens, unlocking a new backdrop and reaction, both of which look incredible! i’m so proud of my fellow cabin 5 besties!!

 

[LadyDestani]

It's been a rough couple of days, but today was a bit better. I'm happy about a couple of things.

- Our air conditioner was fixed! It stopped working last night right after I got off work, so after all the companies were closed. I had to wait until this morning to call someone and it took several tries, but we got someone out this afternoon to fix it. Now, we have a nice, cool house again and the repair didn't even cost that much.

- My back is feeling a lot better today. I had a good visit with the chiropractor and she said I could start coming in every 3 weeks now that I'm improving again. The massage also felt really good today.

- I finished off my matcha green tea ice cream and it was delicious.

- I think (fingers crossed) that I may actually know the character in today's Mysterious Masterpiece, so that's more points and tokens for me and my team. Yay!

• I got to play Okami again today. I'm nearing the end of the game once again, but my goal of 100% is far from over. Fluffy Amaterasu is so adorable on top of her already cute bark.
• I harvested at least two handfuls of green beans from my backyard! I was so happy, I even said thank you to the plant that produced them.
• I cooked food for dinner and included the green beans I just harvested. Still tasted pretty good despite cutting one of the vegetables a little too big.
• Played a little bit of ACNH today. Carrie was sick, but I gave her medicine in which she felt better already.
• Watched a classic Mr. Bean episode that made me chuckle numerous times despite having very little dialogue between characters.
• The Camp Bell Tree event. The banter between members under the mysterious masterpieces thread is really making me laugh. I still sense good fun from all of us despite being stumped (including myself) in the first round lol.
• Staying on the topic of the event, I should've said this when it started, but I'm glad to see so many familiar faces in the same cabin as me.
• Did a little bit of foreshortening practice. I've been focusing on this area in the past few days and it's making me a little more comfortable each time when I'm doing it, at least the very basic stuff to get a better understanding of it. This should come in very handy when doing hand poses. That pun is totally intended haha.
• I was just about to post at this point, but it turns out my cabin (and cabin 3 as well!) found statue pieces that would allow us to get backdrops and special reactions! Might as well make the most of it then. Not only that, but it also matches the team colours as well. Great work to both cabins! I'm sure the others will get theirs eventually!

 

[Midoriya]

I went to martial arts again tonight and had a good dinner afterwards.

 

[.: Meri :.]

-Got my mom into Shaman King! Unfortunately, my dad is expressly not interested, but hey, a victory is a victory.
-My cabin found a statue piece in our location and got our ocean stamp!! The new reaction we've unlocked is very very cute, and I'm loving the new reef backdrop—I even changed my avatar to match!

• I put in a few job applications. I’m just looking for something temporary right now to bring in some money, so I’m not too concerned with the type of work, seeing how it’ll be for less than two months. I would rather be productive and making money, until I find an apartment in my new city.
• My favorite YouTuber started a Discord chat, and I’m really excited. He makes videos about travel and positivity, so participating in the live streams is always uplifting.
• Today was the most relaxing day I’ve had in a while, and it’s just nice to not feel stressed about absolutely anything. When you actually feel a huge weight lifted off your shoulders, you just know you made the correct decision.
• It’s nice and quiet tonight. It’s the little things like these we take for granted, but it’s a great time to clear your mind and think about things.
