What Are You Happy About Today?

in typical xara fashion, i forgot to post yesterday lol, but both yesterday and today were pretty decent!! i’m also really happy to see that so many of you have had a good day. 🥰

yesterday (08/19)
🎨 my entry for camp bell tree’s woodlands area “campfire singalong” activity was finally accepted!! i’ve been really nervous about it as i wasn’t sure if it’d be eligible or not, so i’m extremely relieved and happy that it was!
🧚🏻‍♀️ discovered some new favourite edits of some of my favourite fictional characters!
🌿 managed to talk myself into doing some stuff that i didn’t feel up to doing (self-care and tidying up my room), which felt nice.
🌈 my mom bought me some treats while she was out grocery shopping, including some adorable and tasty cookies!

🎨 read a new fanfic and enjoyed it a lot! it was so cute. 🥺
🧚🏻‍♀️ received bunnie’s photo in acnh!! i wasn’t expecting to receive it so soon as she hasn’t even been on my island for a month yet, but i’m definitely not complaining!
🌿 created and submitted my entry for the last camp bell tree woodlands activity that i needed to participate in!! it turned out better than i thought it would, and it feels nice to have everything in the woodlands complete! i’m hoping to finally get started on my postcard this weekend as well, before my cabin moves on to the mountains. :’)
🌈 rediscovered an old favourite song of mine that i’d completely forgotten about!

today (08/20)
🎨 got 2x nook points.
🧚🏻‍♀️ my camp bell tree cabin earned 1,000 woodland tokens and we’ve now unlocked another new amazing backdrop and reaction!! i’m truly in awe of how hardworking my cabin besties are and how well we’re doing - go poliwags!! 💙
🌿 received some absolutely stunning artwork of my acnh island rep from @mocha.!!!! i can’t get over how amazing it is, nor can i get over how amazing she is, and i’m very blessed to call her my friend. ☺️

🌈 read a new fanfic and loved it! it might even be a new favourite. :’o
🎨 my kitty was incredibly vocal and demanding of love with me today! i never think it possible for me to love her more than i already do, but then she goes ahead and proves me wrong. i love her so much. 🥺
🧚🏻‍♀️ won 100 tbt from one of @Moritz ’s giveaways!! thank you so much again, moritz! <3
 
I worked a lot more hours than usual this week so I'm happy to have survived and I'm going camping tomorrow!!! I rarely get a weekend off and and weekend where I'm doing something fun is even more rare! I've been looking forward to this camping trip for a while so I'm happy it's finally here 😇
 
Happy today because I picked up my new kitten!! And now I very much drained and gotta work tomorrow, but i love him.

Congratulations! What an adorable baby 🥺! Thank you for sharing 🙂; my heart is going to melt from seeing so much cuteness! ☺️ That is such exciting news.


@mocha. was really kind and drew my oc; you can see it here ☺️. It made me so happy since she didn’t have to draw me anything and I’ve been admiring her art for some time now 😊. Thanks so much, Mocha. Keep up the wonderful work 🙂.

My cat has been coming in my room a lot even without her basket in here and snuggling with me. I love both my cats so much ☺️.

I messed up a bunch on my drawing and water dripped on some of the uncolored parts but thankfully everything has been been pretty fixable (or hideable). I still am having my doubts about my drawing (especially after browsing art on twitter) but I think I am happy with it at least for now. :)
 
• I’m very excited that I got to spend some quality time with this boy! I had some chicken tenders to share with him, and I had a snack cake sitting on the chair next to me. He kept looking at it, but he didn’t touch it like a good boy. Although, I caught him sniffing it quite a bit. 🐶

• A random dog ran up to me while I was walking Keagan, and I gave that good boy a few treats. I love carrying around treats to give random dogs that I may or may not see. I think dogs are perfect creatures. 🥺
• I am very happy with how my Poliwags Cabin has been performing! I love the team effort and I’m proud to be a part of the team! Not only that, but I’m all for the friendly vibes as well! I love how it’s basically like a family! 🏕🌲
 
Finally got my paycheck yesterday from tutoring, it feels refreshing to actually work a job I love (which is teaching). Throat hurts because I was teaching 2 topics for 3 hours straight, but I’m glad to be able to help my students in one way or another 😄 I’m getting a medical degree because I’m fascinated with human biology, but what keeps me going isn’t really to just become a doctor but to become a medical professor in the future. I like the feeling of helping students understand things that fascinated me as well when first learning about those topics. ❤️

Also, it’s my boyfriend and I’s 4th anniv together! Pandemic and the lockdown sucks and this is our second anniv apart, but we’re managing. I feel bad bc I didn’t get him a gift, I thought we were just going to do some casual stuff today but he went out of his way to send me flowers and a “Happy Anniversary!” balloon (that I sadly didn’t receive first bc I was asleep when the delivery boy came LOL). Anyway, we’re going to have a chill day binge-watching anime and playing co-op, and maybe having a virtual dinner later. Yay! 🥰

I'm happy today getting to see that sweet pupper! What a good, happy boy. 😭

prob gonna get Brilliant Diamond since I want the version that's opposite of what I already own (like how I own Sapphire and when the remakes were released I got Omega Ruby). really hope the pokeradar returns in BDSP cause it's one of my favorite shiny hunting methods, even though it's honestly pure torture lol.
 
Haven't posted about my parents lately, so here's an update!

Mom had a major setback because the crummy hospital she was at let her stomach get seriously infected to the point where it almost turned into sepsis
But she was taken to an ER at an actually good hospital that got it taken care of, and now she's improving really well! She'll hopefully start rehab next week ^^

Dad is doing super well! He has been working on therapy, and is able to breath on his own, has started being able to walk, and will be trying to eat real food soon <3

So I'm happy that they're both doing well again ^^

I'm so sorry to hear about your mom's setback, but I'm glad things are getting better again. I really hope that both your mom and your dad will be able to come home soon!

So this week has been pretty bad for me all around. I've been having a rough time with just about everything and felt severely depressed for several days. But this weekend I'm feeling slightly better and more hopeful about one aspect of my life, at least. I'm going to take that as a good sign that things aren't hopeless and my situation can improve.

I'm also happy that I slept pretty well last night and had very little back pain when I woke up.
 
-Felt very relaxed in general today! It's very rare for me to have a day where I'm so low-stress and low-anxiety, and while I wouldn't say it was completely free of either, it's been really nice. I hope I can have more days like this.
-While I don't really have any desire to be a golden hotdog, I did complete enough of the challenges in the current event in Fall Guys to unlock the new color and pattern, which seem fairly neat! I also kept getting ridiculously lucky in one level and couldn't stop laughing by the end.
