What Are You Happy About Today?

[xSuperMario64x]

FOLLOWING POKEMON IN BDSP LET'S GOOOOOOOO

 

[TillyGoesMeow]

I know today just started but I actually woke up at 5:30 am and went to the gym! I think I want to start going in the mornings instead of nights for sure. It's really nice to work out with the sun rising.

 

[amemome]

I made some boiled peanuts following my friend's mom's recipe are they're SO DELICIOUS I can't help but keep smiling!

New Pokemon Direct dropped, and new regional forms have been confirmed! That was the feature I was most hoping for in Legends: Arceus so I'm pretty happy about it. Hisuian Growlithe is adorable, I might just have to have two fire types on my team (I was gonna pick Cyndaquil as my starter).

My friend also confirmed the date for our theme park trip, so we're going at the end of this month! It's been a while since I met up with all of my friends at the same time so I'm excited,, I don't think I've been to a theme park for a good few years too

I've also been trying to prepare for university by looking up what I'll need for my course (just a pen and paper apparently lol), I'm both super nervous and excited for starting uni next month.

Maintenance came by and changed my furnace filter and I didn't have a panic attack

Speaking of panic attacks, I had a really bad one last night but was able to get through it without having to take my PRN medication

I played Littlewood for awhile, it's such a fun, cute, relaxing game

Was able to read for a couple hours, hadn't read in a couple of days because I was having a hard time concentrating so I'm happy about that.

I'm also feeling hopeful because I'm going to make an appointment with my doctor to get back on meds for my silent GERD. It's causing me a lot of problems, I don't know why I've waited so long to go back and get new meds for it (the last med I was on it for was recalled, so I stopped it and never bothered going back to the doctor to get on something else so I've been dealing with this for like a year and a half-2 years w/o any relief)

This week has seriously been draining me, but there were some good things that happened today.

- I got started on the paperwork needed to release the funds from my brother's frozen bank account. The bank wouldn't do anything until we had written confirmation from Social Security of the new payee and we have that now. They need some more info from the payee so I contacted them to get that ball rolling. Keeping my fingers crossed that we can get this taken care of quickly.

- I finally earned enough tokens to purchase my first three moon jellyfish collectibles! I want a full row of them to match my star fragments and I was able to get the blue, green and silver jellyfish today. Hopefully, I'll be able to get 30 more tokens by the end of the event for the last two green and blue jellyfish. It seems like a reasonable goal.

today we had to give some documents to my husband’s parents and on the way we went to the park and fed the ducks I love this park, the pond always has ducks and some years there have been Canadian geese but not this year. Spring and early Summer is best because they have babies They recently built a retirement home right next to the pond, I saw an old man throw bread from his balcony and the ducks came running I used to worry about them in winter because they got fed less, I don’t think that will be an issue any longer.

Well, this is a combination of yesterday and today:
Yesterday:
-I found a penny with 2005, my birth year on it! Apparently that's good luck, and I sure think it is after what happened today!
-Watched star trek with my dad again
Today:
-I got 1st place in the ranked up in mario kart tour! I also recently got black birdo from the gold pipe as well!
-I got punchy's cookie from the cookie shop in pocket camp today, and to my surprise, I unlocked the memory for it!
-Got a cobweb egg from @LittleMissPanda! Honestly I thought it would take a long time to get since I don't have 3k tbt, but luckily I was able to trade a dino plush, which seems to be going for 2ish-3k right now for one!
-Started to draw my icon for September and October, I just need to figure out a lineup for the September one since I already have most of the October lineup ready
-I showed @Kirbyz a funny picture and I'm glad she enjoyed it as much as I did lol
So yeah, after all of that, I conclude that that penny was good luck! Hopefully I can find more in the future

 

[Dunquixote]

Not much happened today. Today was decent except about my concern about a cat my mom and dad mentioned seeing.

My cat keeps visiting me in my room today and this morning she snuggled with me a lot while I was sleeping; she kept waking me up but I was happy she wanted to be with me.

I started a small or maybe not so small drawing experiment. I’m trying out a style that I used for a few recent drawings.

I didn't post here the other day because I wasn't feeling too happy, but now I am! xara, please don't hunt me down for using a similar post layout like yours LOL.
Monday (16/08)

• I played Gran Turismo 5 to do time trials once again. The cars I used were some that I saw the other day while I was biking. To refresh your minds, it was a Nissan 370Z Fairlady, a Honda CR-Z, a Ferrari California, a Honda S2000, and a Chevrolet Corvette Z06 C6 (F in the chat for the McLaren GT). Anyway, I spent quite some time trying to make a perfect lap with one of the cars mentioned. I was eventually able to drive to the limit l that I barely beat the target time I made for myself by four thousandths of a second. That's literally a hair of a difference!
• Harvested a couple of cherry tomatoes from my backyard and used them to cook food. I don't know about you, but there's something really great about growing your own vegetables.
• After three years of being on this forum, I have FINALLY figured out how to put images in my signature now. I'd like to thank the three people over at discord (Kilza, NefariousKing, and Mistreil) who kindly assisted me. Now I can cram whatever images whatever I want in my signature, provided it's within the rules of course!
• Speaking of which, I changed up my profile pic (which for the very first time does not feature Bones ever since I joined the forums). I drew Poliwag and did some shading that's actually semi decent. I'll take whatever victories I have to be one step closer to being good at drawing!

Tuesday (17/08)

Spoiler: Contains Woodland task spoilers!

• I made lyrics for a campfire song. While I was having a little bit of a hard time coming up with lyrics, I actually had fun doing it, and only got easier as I made progress! To those that saw the lyrics I made up, I'm sorry for making you cringe so hard lol.
• I started making a description of one of my villagers. It's really fun making stuff up that makes them sound like mysterious creatures in the wilderness, even though my writing is not that great. I just have to take a screenshot of them now.
• I've made quite some progress in making a butterfly for a bookful of bugs mission.

• Played Okami and made more progress towards 100% completion. I'm doing it without any guides so far and it would be ideal if it stays that way!

Wednesday (18/08)

Spoiler: Woodland task spoilers!

• I'm 95% done with my cryptid creature submission. Had a little fun dressing up my villager and setting out the furniture. Just need to take one more screenshot and put them all together in one post.
• I'm getting two thirds of the way of finishing my drawing for a bookful of bugs mission.

• Listened to a music compilation of Mario Kart music. Man, so many of them brought back memories, ranging from playing Mario Kart Super Circuit back in elementary school to playing Mario Kart 8 with other members on here during TBTWC. I remember unknowingly sabotaging one of my teammates which was _Donut_, getting blue shelled right before the finish line and losing a few places, daringred_ being my constant rival (who funnily enough, is in the same cabin as me), and watching the Twitch streams rooting on for Chris! I think he managed to finish in third once!
• Gave Rocco a present for his birthday. Is it just me or do I notice that there are so many people born in the same month like me? Because I learned a couple of weeks ago that the creator of Gran Turismo, Kazunori Yamauchi, is also born in the month of August. I can't escape this, can I?
• Harvested some green beans once again in the backyard and using them.
• Watched a couple of original video clips that were used as memes. Both of them had laughing involved and I laughed a lot as a result. They say laughing can be contagious and they were right!

 

[Croconaw]

• Five of these Mountain Dew Violets came in the mail today. They’re one of my favorite flavors! Please do not ask how much I paid for these. I plead the fifth.

Spoiler: the holy grail of Mountain Dew

• I’m off for the next three days. I think these days off are much needed. I need some time for myself.
• I’m staying up for a few hours to continue watching Hunter X Hunter.

 

[Millysaurusrexjr]

- bought a few of the new collectibles today! think I will wait til the end to buy the rest though
- talked to my mom and she seemed like she was in a good mood
- cake

 

[.: Meri :.]

-Tried the salted caramel gelato today! I'm completely sold on gelato at this point, it's way better than regular ice cream.
-Found a new YouTube channel that my mom and I can watch together in our free time!
-Finally finished all the embroidery floss bracelets my dad will need for his classes! And just in time too, because the students will be back this coming Monday.
-The Poliwags reached over 4000 points! I'm so proud of my team! ^^

I’m glad you’re feeling better today Your avatar is so adorable. I am really enjoying seeing your entries in this event . Your art is so good . I hope you’re enjoying the event.

An artist I follow made an art share thread and his time she replied to mine that I shared and said I’m making good progress. I don’t think I am since I still haven’t learned anatomy or advanced shapes along with the background and pretty much everything. Still that encourages me so much. I just feel a bit overwhelmed about where to start even though I have a lot of tips Mistreil and others have given me to go back to.

I've just watched the trailer for the Eternals and I haven't been this excited for a Marvel film/TV show since WandaVision came out. All in all the film just looks so epic with a stellar cast and an amazing female director at the helm.

 

[Midoriya]

I got some good sleep, and my cat Lulu decided to cuddle with me! She almost never cuddles with me (she usually wants out of the room), so this was a nice surprise.

Spoiler: Lulu

It's also raining outside and it sounds really peaceful. Not the "thunderstorm and it's really loud" sort of raining, but the "calm and peaceful" sort of rain.

I'm also up at 6 a.m., which is a first for me. It's time for me to start getting things done today. No matter how poor my previous day or days were, I can always change it around!

 

[princess.looking.for.frog]

I did up my friend’s man bun today, it sounds so strange but I loved seeing him with his hair up like that!

 

[Xara]

a lil early morning post before i hopefully go to bed, but yesterday was a decent day!

did an animal crossing trade + added 6 new clothing items to my catalog!!
had a lovely chat with my wonderful friend @Kirbyz!! talking with her always makes me happy; she’s such a sweetheart! <3
created and submitted my entry for one of camp bell tree’s woodlands activities! i’m actually pretty pleased with how it turned out, and it definitely feels nice to have it done and out of the way! 2 activities down, 1 to go!
i read literally,, so many new fanfics today?? i lost count, but i’d say that i read around 9 or so LOL. they were all pretty short stories, but i’m still happy to have gotten a lot of reading done, and they were good stories as well!
my kitty meowed at me. <3

xara, please don't hunt me down for using a similar post layout like yours LOL.

you’re a fellow poliwag, so i’ll spare you... for now.

xjndndk i’m just kidding; use any post layout you want! i’m glad to hear that you’re feeling happier today.

- The lovely @jadetine made a stamp of Goldie for me. She's so adorable and admiring the stamp makes me miss having her on my island (I will eventually bring her back via Amiibo). Gold having an atomic number of 79 on the periodic table also made me chuckle; it's been a while since I used any chemistry knowledge.

Spoiler: Goldie stamp <3

- It looks like my gaming PC has been released from Canadian customs. It was originally going to arrive before end-of-day yesterday, so I'm glad that it's still trekking along to me.
- Dr. K's mental health guide was released yesterday! I'm excited to start diving into the anxiety module this weekend. ^_^

 

[Autumn247]

My apartment complex is doing a grab-and-go BBQ thing this afternoon. So later I’ll go downstairs and get a takeout container of BBQ food to bring back up to my apartment and eat

edit: I was just able to get an appointment w/ my primary care doctor for September 16th to discuss getting back on meds for my Silend GERD. Hopefully I’ll have some relief soon!
