What Are You Happy About Today?

I really am the worst about posting here consistently, lol. It's been a busy month on the forum but not that busy in real life however there are still some things I'm happy about.

-We are finally in September!! I know it's not technically fall yet but I absolutely hate summer so I'm really glad it's closer to ending. We had a bit of a heat wave last week and I was miserable lol I'm so happy that it's starting to cool down and I can't wait until I'm able to wear my sweaters again!

-Piggybacking off of being in September now I've swapped over to my gorgeous art made by @0ni and I love it so much 🥺 I will gush about it every chance I get!! When 0ni comes back online their notifications will be filled with me tagging them in posts about their art 😤

-This summer was my first time participating in a big event and it was so much fun. I was super nervous about it initially, especially since this year was something brand new so nobody really knew what to expect and that always makes me a little uncomfortable lol I like knowing things in advance! But I had a really good time. The new collectibles are all adorable, all the little tasks we had to complete were fun (well.. maybe not wildlife spotting lol), and my team was really lovely.

-Again sort of similar to the above but I had really good luck date trading some collectibles and now my lineup is exactly how I want it to be! I was really nervous about date trading because I didn't think I'd be able to find a plush with the time stamp I needed but it all worked out and I'm so happy. 🥰

Honestly I think that's it for right now! My real life has been really slow and a bit soul crushing with the lack of job responses lol so having this event to look forward to was really nice 💕
 
I’ve been getting back into exercising! I’m hoping to start seeing improvements and results soon.

I also got a brand new piccolo! The tone is much, much better and generally easier to play :D

I’m also happy that I stumbled across this site a year ago. It has honestly impacted my life in a very good way, and I’ve made some good friends too! While I always love to make more friends, I’m happy that I know I’ve always got somebody to talk to! 💜
 
I had a chiropractor appointment and got a good, hour-long massage since I've been feeling extremely tense the last few days. Other than that, the doctor thinks I'm making good progress and I can stay on the 3 week schedule for now unless something happens and I need to see her sooner.

I'm also happy because I spent the last of my event tokens today. I got my bee plush to remember my lovely Buzzy Bee cabinmates and the campfire patch to commemorate the event. I split the remaining tokens between the two raffles. Not expecting to win either one, but you can't win if you don't try.

I've been getting back into exercising too! It makes me feel good. I hope you get the results you want :)
 
I started working on my tamagotchi design for Princess Mipha’s contest and I am really excited how it is turning out ☺️. I feel like my shading keeps improving even though I never looked up how to properly shade (which I should probably do eventually or at least before I make bad habits that are difficult to break out of). After this, or a second entry I may do, I will get started on that food drawing commission once i pick out what to draw.

Yesterday I talked to a discord buddy about ffxv so today after a bunch of my friends expressed interest, I showed them it and they all really liked it and said a lot of nice things even though that was my first serious attempt at shading :).

Today was another good day even with my stupid appointment with my psychiatrist. Maybe tomorrow won’t be bad after all in spite having an appointment with my counselor.
 
I purchased the last portion of my bus ticket. I’m boarding number one on both tickets and hoping for a seat by myself. The final portion of my ticket was only $20 which, in my opinion, is a great deal.
I’m starting to gain some of my weight back. After my dental surgery and month on my soft-foods diet, I lost about fifteen pounds and I’ve gotten it back. I have a fast metabolism so that didn’t help, but I am satisfied with my weight again. There were periods of time during my diet where I didn’t eat for three days, but now that I’m completely healed, I can finally eat right again. I was getting my protein from milkshakes, but I still had lack of motivation from not eating real food.
 
i fell asleep on tuesday before i could post lol, but the last two days have been pretty good!

I'm sadly someone who absolutely hates salads or cold "summerfood" in general.. today I decided to try out a Poké Bowl. For whatever reason I was craving something like that. Seems like I finally found a cold food that I actually like. It's so good, I can't believe I actually like it 🤣
 
i really like this thread it helps me w/ gratitude

my birthday was lovely, I got so many nice messages. My bf bought me flowers, wine, chocolate, and dinner all before I got home from work & we ate and watched some tv & played some video games. Genuinely one of the most perfect evenings I've had in a while.
 
• yesterday I cataloged all my 45rpm records, I didn't count how many I have but I must have at least 60-70. today I'm gonna catalog my 150+ 33rpm records 😆
• I made a new toyhou.se page for my most recent New Leaf character Duncan, since he's def part of my crew now lol
• I found a box that I'm praying has my pink DSi in it, gonna go through that in a bit
• got to go to taco bell :)
• overall in a good mood, that's nice cause I've been feeling kinda eh the last few days.
 
I got up in the morning and got some things done. Then I went to my job coach meeting and had a productive conversation. I'm having fun with the newest Genshin Impact update as well. Lastly, my S/O makes me the happiest out of anyone and I love treating her like a queen. :giggle:
 
I found I had money on both gamestop gift cards left and I was able to order Cuphead finally 🥳; I needed a bit over two dollars after using the gift cards but got the okay to use my money to get it (i avoid using my card due to circumstances).

Still working on the tamagotchi. I am questioning how the bottom and the left and little of the right side looks and a bit of the antenna but I think it still is going well. I hope this will be accepted since mine looks like it doesn’t belong with the other entries 😅; I got so carried away.
 
I walked on the treadmill for 45 minutes, and also did some exercises w/ weights. that's the 3rd day I've exercised this week, and the most physically active I've been in well over a year. I'm so excited to be exercising again, it feels really good and helps my mood! Plus I'm trying to lose a bit of weight.

Had leftover pizza from last night, so delicious!

Ordered some clothes and a few books. Read for awhile. And am planning on playing some more of Luigi's Mansion 3 later, I started playing that for the 1st time yesterday and it's really fun! :)
 
i practiced color guard at school today and one of the band directors said i should join this semester!! i was originally gonna wait for tryouts next semester but now i’m thinking about starting now!! i’m super excited
