What Are You Happy About Today?

I'm going grocery shopping today, it will be nice to get out of my apartment for awhile. I'm also going to take a couple walks later to CVS and Family Dollar. So that will be a lot of exercise since both walks are really long. I'm going to see if I can get my flu shot at CVS today.

I woke up early, I'm happy about that. I love getting up super early but I've been having a hard time doing that lately. I woke up at 5:30am today and have been having a peaceful morning.

Among other things, I'm getting pumpkin spice coffee creamer and pumpkin spice donuts when I go grocery shopping later! :)

I might wear my Spooky Vibes shirt later that has Jack Skellington on it from the Nightmare Before Christmas :)
 
Our fridge decided to go out on Saturday, but we thankfully were able to salvage some food and our new fridge came yesterday! Today we get our new shower installed, since our shower drain has caused some issues, and it's not as easy as just replacing the shower head. Thankfully, nothing major, but if my husband hadn't noticed it, it definitely could've been major!

okay I have something to be happy about now:

• watching the indigo league pokemon anime, I haven't seen it in years and it's given me a lot of laughs so far.
• my fox plush arrives tomorrow, I'm sad it couldn't arrive today but I'm still really excited
• it's nice and cool today, I actually have a blanket over me so I can be nice and cozy ☺
might take my dog to the park again in a bit since it's so nice out.
 
@xSuperMario64x gifted me a spring sakura this has made my entire day

also i practiced for color guard again today and i officially got permission to join this semester! i just need to ask the counselors to change my schedule, and i also need to get a physical exam to be able to participate but aaa so excited! i can't wait to experience marching szn :blush:
 
Todays been mostly rough but there's been a few positives as well!

-I'm watching The Nightmare Before Christmas right now with my kitty! She's pretty cute when I put movies on my TV, she actually looks up at them sometimes. I don't own a ton of fall/halloween themed movies and I watch them year round lol but it's nice getting to watch this movie while wearing a sweater!

-I did my makeup today and I like how it turned out. I kept my eyeshadow super simple which I'm happy with - the last few times I did my eyeshadow I got a little bit carried away and just ended up washing it off because I thought it was a little bit much. Not today though! I wore my orange lipstick today, too. I love fall 🥰

-I think I'll bake something pumpkin-y soon!! Not sure if it'll be muffins or maybe cake, but I'm excited.
 
haven’t posted here in a few days, so this’ll be a bit of a catch-up post. this week’s been pretty rough for me tbh, but i’m hanging in there the best i can, and it hasn’t all been bad! i’m hopeful that things will start to get better soon. ☺️
also, i’m sorry for spamming everyone’s notifications LOL; i haven’t checked this thread like,, all week, so i had quite a few posts to go through and like. 😅

sunday (09/05)
🎨 read 9+ new fanfics i honestly lost count lol! they were all pretty short, which is why i was able to read so many lol, but they were honestly all great and some of them have even become new favourites of mine!
🧚🏻‍♀️ added a new clothing item to my acnh catalog!
🌿 finished my entry for @/Princess Mipha’s “tamagotchi design” contest! i’m honestly pretty happy with how it turned out, and while i don’t think i have the time/energy to work on any more entries for the contest, i actually have a bunch of other tamagotchi design ideas that i think i’ll start working on in my spare time for fun! i typically don’t create art without an inclination (contest, event, etc), so it’ll be nice to have a little project to work on just for fun whenever i’m up to it! it’ll definitely be good practice for me, too. ☺️
🌈 my kitty was,, ridiculously clingy today lol, but it was adorable! after meowing at me several times, she took a nap in my room for a while. <3

monday (09/06)
🎨 not much happened on monday, other than my kitty continuing with her clinginess and taking another nap in my room. :’)

tuesday (09/07)
🧚🏻‍♀️ tidied up my room a bit.
🌿 the trailer for season 3 of sex education dropped! it looks,, very strange tbh lol, but i’m excited!

wednesday (09/08)
🌈 took a nice, cold shower.
🎨 did a few animal crossing trades. i honestly really appreciated the social interactions, even if they were only in a game and each one lasted less than 5 minutes lol.
🧚🏻‍♀️ while the situation it was regarding wasn’t much of a happy one, @-Lumi- taking the time out of her day to talk to me and help me out with something really meant a lot to me and made me happy. thank you so very much again, lumi! :’) 💞

today (09/09)
🌿 tidied up my room a bit. i actually didn’t really have anything to tidy up yesterday, which was nice!
🌈 watched some videos on tiktok that made me laugh.
🎨 my mom was kind enough to buy me some things while she was out grocery shopping, including some granola bars that i’ve been craving and my favourite soda!
🧚🏻‍♀️ began working on another one of my tamagotchi design ideas.
 
  • I finished another car sketch this time featuring the Triumph TR6! This photo I linked to I used as reference had a little bit of one-point perspective involved, so it was a little challenging and liked how it turned out in the end despite looking sketchy (ha) in some places.
  • Apparently, there was a Playstation Showcase that happened some ago (or yesterday or whenever you're reading this) to show off some new games. Welp, Gran Turismo 7 was one of them which the fans of the series have been waiting for years. I totally forgot some gameplay footage would be shown, so I went ahead and had a look at it. My goodness, the first minute gave me a lot of goosebumps since it was pretty much a huge reference to the intros of past entries in the series. I almost teared up from nostalgia even, especially when Moon Over the Castle (the main theme of the series) was being played on the organ. I've also spotted some small details that passed by very quickly, with many of them making their return. I had to replay the video numerous times. Overall, it's pretty awesome seeing cars being featured in high quality, both new and old. I showed this to my dad who introduced me to Gran Turismo at a very young age and was impressed by how everything looks. Oh, and the game will release next year on March 4th and I'm hyped! Unless the devs decided to delay the game AGAIN lol.
 
I had some hot boneless wings and they were good. I typically prefer chicken with the bone, but these ones were surprisingly good.
I picked up two boxes of chocolate banana pocky’s. They’re actually not bad. I really like them.
My plans for the night changed when my mom’s cat went missing. Went walking around the neighborhood but unable to find him. This isn’t necessarily good news, but it’s been hectic to say the least.
