What Are You Happy About Today?

- solved wildlife clue #2 after getting a hint, which felt nice because I have never been good at riddles

I was so surprised when I saw you got that one! Especially because you went from threatening the dino plushie to solving the clue yourself. :LOL: Congrats! :D

---

Today I'm happy that it's a Saturday and I don't have a lot to do. I think I received a job opportunity that looks interesting and has to do with martial arts, so I'm going to look into that. :)
 
My sister said she’s gonna pick me up tomorrow to come check out her new place/hang out for a bit. So I’m looking forward to that :)

other than that, I feel better than I did recently. I was having a lot of anxiety and depression for a few days but I’m in a better mood today.

I’m excited because I’m having a cheeseburger 🍔 for dinner which I’ve been craving like crazy! :)
 
I was so surprised when I saw you got that one!
I knew some of y’all were stalking the Poliwags thread. 😖😅 It’s okay, I had fun going through the Evergreen thread as well.

I got my Mango Dragonfruit Refresher from Starbucks, which is my drink of choice.
I had fun exploring Vegas. I got some pictures of T-Mobile Arena, where the Vegas Golden Knights play hockey. I love hockey and was excited to see some hockey fans here.
Tonight will be a relaxing night for me. My favorite YouTuber may be doing a stream and I’ll be looking out for it.

 
I couldn’t wait any longer and I bought my first two collectibles for my new lineup plan. 🙂 I’m hoping that the oarfish pieces won’t be too expensive & I’ll be able to get them in the order I want once I buy (if i can) the one I need 🤞. Getting excited to find out who won each activity; trying my best not to get my hopes up but a bit late for that even though I am pretty sure I didn’t win any rainbow jellies.

Mood has been up and down today but didn’t have a bad day. :) Been enjoying chatting some friends and was really happy to hear that so many people think I am progressing with my art ☺️.
 
  • After nearly two years, I finally got a haircut! I'm glad that the barber shop I usually go to is still open considering with what's going on right now. I was so used to seeing myself with long hair that it felt so weird seeing myself with short hair. It's almost as if I'm looking at a different person. Who is this guy lol.
  • Anyway, while I was getting my hair cut, I heard some music in the background and a part of the lyrics felt familiar to me. I asked what it was and it turns out it's called Mamma Mia by Abba. Welp, that's another song into a huge playlist of music!
  • I had a tasty dinner tonight. The vegetables added to the food really made me enjoy it.
  • Went for more time trials in Gran Turismo 5. Man, seeing my best lap time just a hundredth (.010) away from breaking the 2 minute barrier was mocking me. I was already on the limit trying to achieve that time. Thankfully, I showed it who's boss and broke it anyway. That felt so satisfying after crossing the starting line.
  • My postcard is nearing completion after finishing the first side and almost the second side. I'm sure the patience will pay off after working on it for almost a week now.
 
quick post before i go and get something to eat, but today was a pretty decent day! ^_^

🎨 had a lovely chat with @Roxxy earlier this morning!! i’m also super happy that she won the dino plush from @/croconaw’s giveaway; she deserves it. ☺
🧚🏻‍♀️ my camp bell tree cabin reached 8,000 points!!! we’ve been on a long and tiring journey together, but i’m so proud of us. 💙
🌿 date traded a collectible with @Zakira and she was kind enough to send some tbt my way, which made me really happy. :’) thank you again!
🌈 managed to tidy up my room a bit.
🎨 did an animal crossing trade.
🧚🏻‍♀️ read a new fanfic and liked it a lot!
🌿 finally created and submitted my entry for camp bell tree’s “stories in the shadows” activity! i honestly have,, no idea if it’ll actually get accepted or not since i think i wrote too much lol, but fingers crossed. 🤞🏻
🌈 my kitty meowed at me a few times and took a nap in my room! <3
 
-I tidied up my desk a little today! Between making all those embroidery floss bracelets recently and all the projects I've worked on for Camp Bell Tree, it had gotten kinda cluttered. It's not perfect, but just the bit of cleaning up I did already has me feeling better.
-Nintendo sent me a survey! It was pretty obviously just a generic [insert game title here] kind of survey, but I like taking them anyway and I found it pretty amusing.
 
I hit a new low with my mental health but I think things will start getting better because I'm going to being honest/more open with my therapist and psychiatrist and get help instead of pretending everything is fine.

Aside from that, I finished a volume of books I was reading and am starting the 2nd volume today. I watched an episode of The Originals, and might watch an episode of Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day.

I'm thinking of having a chocolate peanut butter protein smoothie tonight for dinner so I'm excited about that because I'm craving a chocolate/pb combo of anything really.

I've been eating a lot more vegetables, yesterday I had Mexican style riced cauliflower, and green beans, and I had some today too.
 
Yesterday:

- I made a ton of progress on the book about design I had started. Depending on how I find the rest of it, I might just buy a paperback version of it since I've found it super informative and interesting so far.
- Did a bit of planning for the coming week at work.
- Cleaned my bathroom and Swiffer'ed my bedroom + office with wet pads.
- Caught up with tracking my expenses for this month.
- Signed up for a couple of free online courses (intro to human-centered design, storytelling, moral leadership). They all start in September on the same day, so I'll see if I actually have time for all three.

Today:

- Worked out this afternoon (600 squats in total, 6 types of squats at 100 reps each) and feeling a lot more awake after exercising and showering. Why am I still not used to the extra fatigue I feel about two weeks before mother nature's monthly visit?
- Caught up on our YouTube subscriptions with my S/O.
- Watched a couple episodes of Team Pop Epic with him. Really funny anime!
- Read another chapter of a book.
- Finished listening to Dr. Mike's chat with Dr. Zubin Damania on YouTube. It's so nice to listen to knowledgeable people discuss such complex issues with nuance and empathy.
- Feeling nostalgia already at the thought of Camp wrapping up. Even though I didn't spend a whole lot of time online to chat or engage in banter, I'm still going to miss my cabinmates so much. 😭💚 I haven't had this much fun with a group of folks since uni Orientation Week in 2015!
- Looking forward to playing some Digimon TCG in Tabletop Simulator on Steam with my S/O later tonight.
 
Today was another pretty good day. I slept well again and I haven't had much back pain when waking up. I forgot to mention this yesterday, but my husband got me some cool King Shark t-shirts as a surprise just-because gift. I think he's adorable!
 
I managed to learn a new skillset when it comes to a game I play, not a huge accomplishment in the grander scheme of things, but made me happy because normally struggle with that stuff. Also gonna plan out an Animal Crossing date day with my boyfriend, very excited! Will post here about it when it happens lol
