What Are You Happy About Today?

once again fell asleep before posting last night, but yesterday was a good day! today admittedly wasn’t as good, but it was still fairly decent. ☺

yesterday (08/15)
🎨 finally created and submitted my entry for the last camp bell tree ocean area activity that i needed to participate in! i hate how last minute it was, but submitting it was definitely a relief, and i actually sort of like how it turned out as well!
🧚🏻‍♀️ obtained the lobo collectible!! thank you again, @leximo!
🌿 tidied up my room.
🌈 did 2 animal crossing trades. @An0nn was kind enough to send me 11 tbt extra, and even complimented my island, which was so generous of them and made my night. <3 thank you again!
🎨 had a lovely chat with my wonderful friend @Dunquixote! ^_^
🧚🏻‍♀️ submitted my guess for round 3 of camp bell tree’s “mysterious masterpieces”, and while i stressed myself out quite a bit while trying to figure out the answer, i’m actually pretty confident in my guess again! i’m still shocked that i got the right answer for round 2, though, so if i get this one right as well,, i might actually pass away LOL.
🌿 my camp bell tree cabin is now visiting the woodlands area!! i’ve only submitted something for one of the activities thus far, but i’m looking forward to working on the other two this week! go poliwags! 💙
🌈 my kitty meowed at me a few times. <3

today (08/16)
🎨 read a new fanfic!
🧚🏻‍♀️ watched a movie with my mom and her mom. we watched erin brockovich, and while i missed the start of it, i actually really enjoyed it!
🌿 cuddled with my kitty! <3
 
I bought 2 pairs of jeans today which I desperately needed as I had to get rid of a bunch of ripped jeans not long ago. They were on clearance so they were really affordable as well! Also got some more of my camp event stuff submitted so that I'll have more time to work on my post card later this week. I'm going camping IRL in a couple of days so I've been busying trying to get organized for that but I am looking forward to it. ☺
 
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.

Its Siam Park on the island Tenerife. Yeah, I've heard that here too we will have to wear masks on the slides. I would've preferred that they provided us with their own masks (from materials that are ok to get wet) since now everyone will just bring their own to get soaked in the water :/
But other than that, I've heard from reviews that everything else is nicely organised and covid rules are strictly followed 😁
 
I just finished my drawing for the event and I’m really happy with how it turned out even though I may have colored the bottom part too dark and not darkened the top part (the water) enough. This drawing was another experiment since I had zero confidence in my ability to draw & color water. The fish turned out looking better than I thought it would; I wasn’t sure how well I’d be able to draw a fish. I’m feeling motivated to draw again even though I think I may be burning myself out if I am not already from drawing so much for this event 😅.

Completely agree with the mask materials LOL
I thought the same thing.

Sadly my local park has all the safety protocols in place (on paper) but nobody was following the 6ft rule when waiting in line for slides...
I had someone's kids practically play tag around my legs, so I gave the parent (or whoever it was) some pretty good stink eye lol
 
- After much pondering and inner turmoil, over the past weekend, I ordered my pre-built custom gaming PC from NZXT and it's supposed to arrive by tomorrow. I also purchased a mechanical keyboard with a minimalistic yet artistic touch and some additional cables to improve my dual work-play station. I'm so excited to play with the new tech and to not have to worry about upgrading the build for some years to come! I'm also looking forward to getting back into Borderlands with my S/O because I was nervous about overloading my laptop. Now that I think about it, besides portability, laptops are pretty much a ripoff in my eyes, LOL.
- I wiped down my desk and started reorganizing all my cables and wires. I'll have to do it all again once the PC arrives, but for the time being, my wire situation looks the most organized it has ever been, which feels satisfying.
- Work has been challenging and interesting. I'm always thinking about how I can be doing things more efficiently to keep my calendar cleared up for tasks that require more focus time.
 
I was feeling depressed earlier but my mood is starting to pick up.

Can’t remember if I posted about this here yet, but recently my mom finally found got an appointment for me to get tested for autism/asperger’s. It won’t be until the winter but still better than never. Hopefully after that, we’ll be able to find someone to help me find work that accepts people with anxiety and accommodates my needs since I have been having no luck since I got laid off of the one job I had a couple years ago.

I am still insecure about my situation especially since my parents are getting older and won’t always be around and my sister has her own family (not that i want to be dependent for the rest of my life since i don’t and am embarrassed), but I honestly have no more energy to waste to be anxious about any more since I’ve drained my mental health on a couple things for the last couple years and I realize anyways, to try take things one day at a time or what is immediately at my feet instead of everything (like the laundry metaphor or analogy from fruits basket).

I can hear again. my ears have been plugged up for a couple days or more but I just cleaned them out and can hear! 🥳

I’m enjoying some banter with my friends from other cabins. ☺ Even though I was sad not being on the same team as all my friends, the competitive spirit has been really fun. sorry for continuously mentioning this; the event just is something that had been making me happy from the day it started and I feel like it is worth mentioning how much it keeps lifting my spirits up. I admit I do get a bit discouraged with my entries when I see better ones but I am going to keep trying my best and put my best effort in regardless. :) Most important thing is that i am having fun, putting the effort in and am happy with my entry. 🙂 And i do love seeing entries better than mine, I just get a bit jelly since i have a long way to go till i am as good of an artist.

I hope everyone else is having fun too! Gl everyone, but watch out Evergreen is going to catch up and be at top again 💪😤
 
- Both of my parents and I are registered to vote by mail-in ballot. Super quick and easy process.
- I'm looking forward to sharing my experiences of entering the tech industry on Sunday in the Healthy Gamer server. I received the list of questions that we (the panelists) will be asked, so I'm jotting down some speaking points. ^_^
 
It's always nice to hop by here and see all the good news you all have or had.

I have off tomorrow, so that's nice. I can sleep in and just do whatever I want to. Not much really super exciting going on. But I have a lot of different projects and ideas that I just need time to start and tomorrow is the perfect time.
 
lil bit of a late post, but today yesterday was a good day. 🥰

🎨 read a new fanfic, and while the description initially didn’t appeal to me much, i actually enjoyed it more than i thought i would!
🧚🏻‍♀️ tt’d merengue out, added a new rug to my catalog and went island hopping + invited fauna to my island in acnh!!
🌿 discovered a new favourite song! that i’ll be sick of soon, since i’ve been listening to it all day LOL.
🌈 my guess for round 3 of camp bell tree’s “mysterious masterpieces” was right!!! i’m genuinely,, so shocked that i’ve actually gotten 2/3 of them right. i usually suck at stuff like this. :’o google definitely helps, though. 😋
🎨 did an animal crossing trade. @petrichr even complimented my island, which made me really happy. ^_^
🧚🏻‍♀️ found out that my lovely friend @Midoriya saved the valentine’s card that i made for him and a few other friends earlier this year! it’s definitely not my best work, so i’m honestly really touched that he kept it aha. :’)
 
• I completed a task for Camp TBT today, and I’m honestly really proud of the results. 🏕🌲
• I had some nacho fries from Taco Bell tonight. I forgot how good they were.
• It’s an all-around peaceful night for me! It wasn’t very eventful, but time to relax is always good.
• I also don’t have any complaints about my new jobs. The hours could be different, but that’s the only thing bothering me. It’s only temporary though, so I’m not too worried.
• Listening to my playlist helps work go by quickly.
