• Guest, you're invited to help build our new TBT time capsule! It contains three parts, with some of its elements planned to open in 2029 and others not until the distant future of 2034. Get started in 2024 Community Time Capsule: Blueprints.

What Are You Happy About Today?

I'll start from the beginning of the day:
  • Me, my mom, and my sister went biking for the majority of the morning lasting somewhere around four hours (excuse me, what?). The distance was pretty far too, probably even farther than the trail I biked on a few weeks back. No doubt I got a good amount of exercise today, so I'll be taking it easy tomorrow to let my legs recover. Oh, and the weather was really nice and NOT humid today since I was sweating my back off within a minute in the past few days just by simply doing nothing.
  • Feel free to skip this point. I spotted some more cars throughout our biking. First, there was a Nissan Fairlady 370Z parked near a dealership. Next, a Honda CR-Z passed by on the road. I rarely see those while many other cars roam around the streets. Third, there was a McLaren parked near a small store. I actually didn't know what it was and had to look it up when I got home (what's this? Shellzilla doesn't know what car it is?!?!). After searching for a few minutes, it turns out it's a McLaren GT! Some time later, a Ferrari California was traveling in the same direction as us, so I didn't see the front. Thankfully, its taillights pretty much gave it away. Much later, there was one that was a little hard to see as I only saw its side. As it pulled out from a side street and moving away from us, it's a Honda S2000 thanks to its taillights! Funnily enough, I was wondering earlier today if I'll ever see this elusive car and I did! It's one of the car designs that stuck with me ever since I played Gran Turismo 3. Anyway, when we were almost home, a Chevrolet Corvette Z06 C6 snuck by through an intersection, but it wasn't before I spotted it. I'm also happy with the fact that the cars I saw were a bit diverse too. With a few that's Japanese (Honda, Nissan), one that's British (McLaren), one that's Italian (Ferrari), and one that's American (Chevrolet).
  • I ate some McDonalds when I got home as my mom bought some for herself, my sister, and me.
  • Logged on to ACNH today to do some sea diving and fishing.
  • Played some more Okami and I'm slowly, but surely approaching the 100% mark. I'm pleasantly surprised that there were a few things I missed out on my first playthrough.
  • Did the final entry for the minigame event. I even tried the extra mode it had and played to the point where it crashed lol. Not even the meme queen herself (Mistreil) knew this would happen lol.
  • I did some small practice of foreshortening for the umpteenth time. I don't know why I always hold it off until in the evenings, but that 1% of improvement might help me in the long run.
 
-I think my knee might've finally recovered from whatever minor injury I had going on—I've been able to do my usual housework all this week with little to no trouble from it. Still gonna take it easy just to be safe, but I'm glad to start getting back to doing my normal stuff!
-I worked on some avatars for myself for when the Poliwags eventually unlock the forest and mountain backdrops! Not sure where we're going next, or how long getting to 1000 local tokens will take, but it's fun to come prepared!
-My mom made some vegetarian minestrone and it's so good ;u;
 
Today wasn’t the best of days for me, but I am happy that I had not one, not two, but three people tell me what they think of me. It gives me a lot of perspective on myself and what I need to do going forward. I always have people I can rely on, and in turn it helps clear and sharpen my mind. I feel like we’re constantly sharpening each other into better people. It doesn’t happen overnight, but with enough time it makes a difference.

I ordered waterpark tickets for my friend and I. It isn’t for another 2 weeks though but due to covid they only allow a certain amount of people in and almost everything in august was already fully booked, finally managed to snatch a pair!
 
fell asleep last night before i could post, but yesterday was another good day! ^_^

🎨 read a new fanfic and really enjoyed it! it might even be a new favourite of mine. :’o
🧚🏻‍♀️ while she posted it on friday, i saw yesterday that @S.J. included my acnh island rep in her camp bell tree postcard!! i wasn’t expecting it at all, but it’s truly an amazing postcard, and the fact that she included me in it makes me so, so happy. she’s the sweetest. 🥺
🌿 helped my mom make dinner.
🌈 threw out some of the garbage that was in my room.
🎨 did an animal crossing trade.
🧚🏻‍♀️ cuddled with my kitty! <3
 
I am extremely tired today, which I knew would happen after yesterday but I think today was a good day (minus the huge cricket i found in bathtub 😭).

My dad surprised me with roasted almonds again from work ☺; they hurt my jaw though.

This event is just so exciting and fun! ☺ I just love how well my cabin is working together. Seeing the entries has been so fun and a great joy! I got to remind myself even if i don’t win the rainbow jelly that the best reward is the fun I had in this event and the opportunity to improve/practice my art and try other things out that I wouldn’t do normally (like write lyrics).

Having fun with a gacha game that I’m playing :).

Last night I experimented some more with my drawings and while i don’t think it is my best drawing the background coloring was pitiful, I did like the results of the experiment. :)

Meant to mention this a day ago: @Roxxy surprised me with a green stocking for my lineup for my team. She didn’t need to do that but she did; i feel bad that i don’t have any extras that match her cabin’s color to give her in return. she has also been sharing me some of her kitty pictures with me when i’ve been struggling. 💜

Been having nice banters with @xara about the event ☺️.
 
-My older cat came to hang out with me in my room both today and yesterday; she's such a sweetie. 🥺 She napped on my bed for hours while I was reading and working on things.
-Had a ton of fun doing my entries for Camp Bell Tree! I've still got some more to do, but I'm very happy with what I accomplished today! ^^
 
I've finally checked a "long timer" off my list today... I went surfing for the first time! It was such a blast and a beautiful day out in the ocean.

However, afterwards;

Some good things have happened today:

- I finally got all of my junk emails for work cleaned up since I came back from vacation and I now have less than 10 emails that require my attention.

- My husband was a sweetheart today and cleaned the bathroom really well.

- I went to the dentist for the first time in many years. I got a thorough cleaning but otherwise, the dentist said everything looked pretty good. I go back for a follow-up next week and then onto regular 6 month maintenance. So, no major issues is great news and I'm really happy about that.

They look VERY different than they used to lol
Not sure where you're from, but at least around here, the only place in the waterpark you don't have to wear a mask is the wave pool.
