What Are You Happy About Today?

I’ve been very productive today! Helped out with some things, applied for several jobs, and have several interviews lined up as well now. Could be doing some volunteer work as well possibly. Really looking forward to continuing this level of productivity every day. :D
 
Really happy about the stamp that @jadetine made me yesterday (meant to post about it yesterday). I can’t stop looking at it because it is just so cute and her art is just incredible ☺🥰. You can see it here :). Art makes me so happy. ☺

My drawing is coming along, though I did just mess up but thankfully I’m still using a pencil so it was erasable. It is ending up to be a bit ambitious (not as much as my persona one) 😅. :) I’m really excited about this one. I have a lot of art to update my thread with now, but I’m probably going to wait until after the event. Hopefully i’ll be able to find the references i used again so I can list them.

Awww I'm glad it made you happy! I'm in love with these stamps, so I figured I might as well keep requests open until the end of camp and spread the cheer. ^_^
 
Today felt so good. 😊 Or yesterday since I'm posting this a few minutes past midnight.
  • I've finally finished my Queen Alexandra's Butterfly drawing for the bookful of bugs mission. I ended up spending more time doing the background than the butterfly itself because I wanted to get a little bit of practice of perspective. Overall, I think I did my absolute best here experimenting with a few brushes I barely used before and a couple of tricks. It ain't stellar by any means, but I wasn't aiming to get a lot of likes and instead treated it like the time trials I do in Gran Turismo: Just go out there and do your absolute best. Your only rival is yourself. And I think I achieved just that and ended up coming out on top against myself. :)
  • Submitted my post for cryptid creatures. I find it really funny making Queenie sound like she's a savage animal lol.
  • After completing all the tasks in the woodlands area, I decided to just sit back and relax playing Gran Turismo 5 again. Unlike my previous play sessions, I went on a relaxing cruise around a couple of race tracks with a Mercedes 300SL Coupe, taking in the scenery and the aesthetics of the car. I even tuned it up to make it go faster on long straights and maxing out the top speed on high revs haha. Anyway, I should start making a postcard before changing areas for the final time in Camp Bell Tree with tasks piling up again.
If you look closely at the 300SL Coupe, you might find it familiar for those who have played Mario Kart 8. This is because it's a similar model to the Mercedes 300SL Roadster, which was featured in that game (Mario Kart version here). The only obvious difference between them is that one has a roof while the other one does not. If you haven't figured it out yet, both of these cars are really old being made back in the 50s. The Coupe and the Roadster are 67 and 64 years old respectively. They also come in different colours with blue being one of them. How the Roadster doesn't change colour at all in Mario Kart 8 when selecting a character boggles the mind. It would've been PERFECT during TBTWC playing as Blue Yoshi representing Blue's Clues.

And if you thought those cars were old, the W25 Silver Arrow that was also featured in Mario Kart 8 is even older at 87 years old which was made back in 1934!
Edit: Changed some things because I add waaaay too many brackets in my sentences lol.

just remember, don't put yourself down if you do happen to have a low productivity day. take care of yourself and take it easy :)

today is finally a day where I'm not in pain so I'm hoping I can get up and do some cleaning and also finish my assignments for the ocean area.
 
Today's been a pretty good day!
  • went weight lifting at 5:30 again
  • had protein cookie for bfast (my fav)
  • work has been more fast-paced which I prefer.
  • got to interact with my cabin mates (they are lovely)
  • Less tired than usual, which doesn't usually happen so I'll take it!
  • All of my classes are set up and ready to go for graduation.
  • It's also friday, which is a huge relief.
I know it's not a lot, but getting back into a routine after what happened this past year helps a lot.

Those bursts of productivity are awesome to have! It's important to remember that these bursts don't last forever and forcibly sustaining them can also take a mental toll. Our value is more than how productive we are and it's important to recognize that having low-productivity days are inevitable but you aren't less of a valuable individual because of that.

Catching up on yesterday:
- My gaming PC arrived before lunch. I didn't have to show ID or sign for it (I'm guessing due to delta variant of covid still being a concern). I did get to shout out a thanks and well wishes to the FedEx driver though.
- I set up the PC in the late afternoon. There were a couple moments where I thought something about the build was defective, but it turned out to be human error. 😆 I had to order another HDMI cable, HDMI to DisplayPort adapter, and a USB hub with a longer reach, but I'm looking forward to continue setting it up this weekend and revisiting my cable management situation.
- Two important meetings I facilitated yesterday went really well!

Today:
- My S/O is driving down to see me on Sunday. It's been months since we last saw each other in person! 🥰
- Had an awesome mentoring session with my skip-level manager. Work isn't life, but it sure does feel nice to feel appreciated and heard and have someone more experienced as a sounding board for ideas.
 
did some meal prep today and it went... pretty well. I made some peanut butter milkshakes this morning and they were really good, then I made some homemade bologna salad (trying to make my own cause the kind from Kroger is delicious but also expensive) and idk if it's bc I couldn't mince it finely enough but I did not like it. my mom likes it though so that's good enough for me.

gonna go lie down since I've been on my feet for like 4 hours straight oof. watching pokemon challenge videos and drawing is always a fun time 🤞
 
finally finished with work for the week!! can't believe even in the summer holidays i'm getting excited for the weekends but here we are. i also finally finished setting up my student bank account and a few details surrounded that so i'm slowly but surely feeling more organised and ready for september!
 
my husband came home from work early and he brought me chocolate and cherry Coke 🥺

I found a new fanfic series and it’s so good! I’m inspired to start my own writing again after a long break 😊

I had Korean spicy ramyeon and chicken for dinner 🤤

my mother in law sent me pictures of her cats. I miss them a lot. They are so derpy 🥰
 
Happy today because I picked up my new kitten!! And now I very much drained and gotta work tomorrow, but i love him.
