What Are You Happy About Today?

Our son got his big boy wheelchair and he likes it! He smiled when I put him in it and took off! I asked him, "Do you like your new wheelchair, honey?" And he said, "happy?" Almost like, "Is this the word I'm looking for?" I'm so proud of him!

nothing particularly exciting happened today, but it was still a pretty decent day! :>

🎨 got 3x nook points.
🧚🏻‍♀️ a new chapter of a fanfic that i’ve been reading was published and it was fantastic! i read 2 new fanfics as well, both of which i enjoyed a lot — one of them is even a new favourite of mine!
🌿 ^^ going off of that, i’ve also found a list of fanfics that i’ve never read before but am very interested in reading! i likely won’t get started on them tonight as i’m a bit too tired, but i’m super happy and excited to have a bunch of new stories to read! ^_^
🌈 talked to a few friends who i hadn’t messaged in a while. :’)
🎨 my kitty meowed at me. <3
 
Today I had less problems with my emotions; maybe trying to “release them” before falling asleep last night helped. 🤔

I watched a stream today (not the VA that I have been watching but the one I was watching a little before deciding to watch his).

got most of the left side of my drawing done. just got a little bit on the top and in the middle of the paper. :) Really excited about how this is coming along. ☺️ Still having doubts about this being good enough to show someone but, I’m going to keep at it.
 
-Found some new art of some of my favorite characters!
-Made a good bit more progress with planning my book! I've had a lot of ideas that didn't work out before for one reason or another, but I've got a really good feeling about this one—I don't know how long it'll take me, but I really feel like this is one I can finish.
-Also played some dress-up games for a little while!
 
Learned how to administer COVID vaccines today and got to vaccinate some people in our volunteer site! I was kinda shaky at first LOL but I eventually got the hang of it. I'm glad my dad was there to guide me as well. I'm really excited rotating in hospitals in the near future, hands-on experience is really nice and it gives me fulfillment to continue my medical journey.
 
• I finally got around to emailing the executive director of a local symphony, hopefully I can do some work with him in the next few months :)

• earlier I got a few shirts and a fall coat at goodwill, a new candle, some pop-tarts, and some toys for our kitten (she loves them, im glad)

also also while I was at goodwill I found the last star trek tape I needed to complete the enterprise, The Wrath of Khan. now i can have a complete enterprise and it looks really cool 🤩

THE WRATH OF KHAN!! awesome man, good find. Jealous, look at that complete VHS set.
 
i’m very sleepy rn, but today was another fairly decent day! i’m definitely ready for bed, though. 😴💜 watch me pull another all-nighter lol.

🎨 added a new clothing item to my acnh catalog!
🧚🏻‍♀️ my camp bell tree cabin hit 7,000 points and earned 1,000 mountain tokens, meaning we’ve unlocked the final reaction and backdrop!!! i’m so proud of us! we poliwags are truly an amazing and hardworking bunch. 🥳😭
🌿 discovered some more new favourite edits of some of my favourite fictional characters.
🌈 cuddled with my kitty and she meowed at me!
🎨 was in a bit of an artsy mood tonight, so i drew cherry the dog! it turned out a bit choppy + i was too lazy to add the spiderweb detailing on her shirt lol, but otherwise i don’t think i did too bad of a job!

🧚🏻‍♀️ ^^ on the topic of art, i received some very kind words from @TheSillyPuppy about my art progress, which made my day. <3 i know i didn’t respond in the thread, but your words really meant a lot to me and made me happy, tysm!!

An order of mine I've been waiting for arrived today! ^^ All CDs this time—a character song CD, a soundtrack, and a drama CD! Probably going to wait a while before I actually listen to the drama CD (even though I probably won't understand very much of it anyway 😅), but I'm just glad to have added it to my collection for now. It's nice to know it'll be there when I am ready to give it a listen!
 
Catching up on yesterday:
- Got what I had set out to finish at work.
- Planning on hosting a games night for my team at work. I'm just trying to find a video capture card to stream Jackbox games from my Switch that isn't $$$, but I'm wondering if something like the Elgato HD60 S is worth the investment.
- Watched a review of Pokémon Sitting Cuties plushies with my S/O. They're so cute!

This morning:
- Really happy that I made @xara's day. 🥰 Your drawing of Cherry looks great, by the way! I'd love to know what software and/or tools (e.g. stylus) you're using, as well as what types of tutorials you followed to get to where you are today with digital art.
- Started reading an interesting book about design.
 
  • I made a huge ton of progress on my postcard! I'm already onto colouring before I do the final touches and move on to the second side!
  • Took a nap for half an hour.
  • Had a good long chat with Poliwag members and moderators over at Discord. Let's just say there were so many things that made me laugh a lot and the banter going back and forth. Imagine having the exact same conversation but in real life. It would probably be even more hectic lol.
  • Me and the Poliwags managed to solve the third clue! It only took us a couple of hours to find it. The second clue on the other hand, well, let's just say the moderators are being entertained right now. :ROFLMAO:
 
Not gonna lie, today was not very good. But last night, the Buzzy Bees got our final stamp and unlocked the bee reaction and the forest background. Since I saw that after midnight, I'm counting it as something that made me happy today.

I am happy that tomorrow is Friday and after much pain and struggling I finally got my new phone activated and working.
 
I went on my first flight this morning, and it wasn’t too bad. It’s definitely much different than taking the train or riding the bus. Overall, I do prefer ground travel, so I most likely won’t be taking a plane again unless it’s necessary.
I had some Wendy’s before going to my hotel. I had a Baconator with a chocolate frosty. It was delicious, especially after being on that plane.
I’m upset that I couldn’t bring my own sodas on airplane, but I did pick some up at a convenience store for the hotel. They’re not the specific kind I wish I had with me, but it’s soda and it will have to do, I suppose.
I look forward to sleeping tonight. I pulled an all nighter last night, and I’ve been up for about twenty-four hours. I haven’t been a fan of sleeping on the plane or at airports.
The hotel is very nice. This is one of the nicer hotels I’ve stayed in. I’m happy to be here a few days. My day consisted of mostly travel, but it was still a pretty good day.
 
Tonight there was a surprise stream! I enjoyed it very much even though I think I was annoying. Each stream I have more fun than the last since I’ve befriended so many people. ☺️

Almost done with my drawing! Not sure if I will finish it since I made some plans to watch anime with two other discord members. ☺️
