Today has been a terrible day to be honest. I have been stressing over finding time to pick up my bun hours away after getting surgery. I went to my clients house at 8:30 and they didn’t answer the door or their phone, so I called my office and they asked me to wait for a bit so I sat in my car for about an hour crying because I didn’t know what to do or how I was going to find time to do everything. I finally had to a lock out and they said it was fine to go back in for my second shift with them at 1:30 so I decided I had no choice, but to rush down and get my bun. I got back at 2:30 an hour late for my shift, but they were very patient and understanding. Turns out that he had gotten up and saw that I was there and unlocked the door and went to take a shower so he didn’t answer the phone when I had called the last time. I came back and had to rush to get my bun all situated before rushing to work. When I had gotten there I had to rush them out the door so I could take them out shopping. I had to stay an hour later then I was supposed to, but I had promised to take them shopping so it was worth it to me even though I was stressed and hungry and tired from such a long drive. Even after all of that I’m just so happy and relieved to be home now and that it’s all over and that my bunny is home and can recuperate. I have one more day of working left and then I can spend all day Sunday getting some much needed sleep and spending time with my bunny because I’ve missed her while she was gone.

What Are You Happy About Today?
- Thread starter Aquasplash
- Start date
yeah :3 theres a ton around the apartment complex, theyre so cute
im glad your bun is home again
Today I'm happy about a few things:
- It's Friday and I had a quiet afternoon at work.
- My husband's Japanese snacks finally arrived today. They were held up in a nearby city almost all week and he was getting frustrated.
- We decided to try something different and order some meals from Freshly. We even got a discount on our first two weeks, which we'll use as a trial to see if we like them.
- My mom received her reimbursement from my brother's payee for all the money she spent replacing his furniture when his apartment flooded.
- My mom also sold my dad's storage trailer, so that's one less thing for me to deal with or worry about.
- I'm looking forward to the weekend.

Today was kind of rough for me unfortunately, but I was able to work in a little bit of time to play some more DQXI S, which made me feel a bit better.

Not much but it's better than nothing:
-I was able to sell my oarfish body! This will make it easier for me when people start selling Halloween collectibles again!
-My sister found me another part time job, and the interview is on Sunday, so hopefully that goes well.

Wednesday (Sep 8):
- Had a quiet day of work, with minimal interruptions.
- Started listening to the audiobook version of The Coddling of the American Mind. Fascinating read and a great follow-up to the author's article in The Atlantic with the same title.
Thursday (Sep 9):
- Watched Steve Burns' return message video for Blue's Clues 25th anniversary. It was so heartwarming, and I literally started crying.
Absolutely one of my favourite television shows from my childhood.
- Started reading The Making of a Manager by Julie Zhuo.
- Started doing research into investing. Need to look more into fees and such between financial institutions and Questrade.
Friday (Sep 10):
- Hosted virtual games night for my team after work. We played Bracketeering and Fibbage 3 from Jackbox Games 4. We all had a lot of fun and everyone expressed their gratitude for me having organized everything.
- Watched Ant-Man and the Wasp then Captain Marvel. So stoked for Avengers: Endgame next weekend. What a wild ride and I'm so glad my S/O pushed me to watch the MCU.

- I'm going to take a long walk later today
- A very kind member here gave me all the variations of the puppy plush item I was missing in ACNH, and they're all so cute ❤
- I woke up early, at about 5:45am, I love waking up early
- Today I'm making those buffalo ranch chicken hoagies I mentioned before, I'm hoping they're good
I love crockpot meals, they're so easy - I'm having a peaceful morning
- I plan on cleaning my apartment today, and am going to listen to some podcasts and music while I do it. That always helps me to stay motivated
- I did a 10 minute mindfulness meditation

A very kind member, @Sasey, not only gave me the Iron Nuggets I need to set up shop (and then some), but also tons of bells to keep me supplied for a long time!
But I think the best gift he's given me was a tour of his amazing island, and what potential this game, ACNH, could do. He blew my mind, like pffosh with Michael Bay-level explosion. The museum is particularly amazing, with how much culture and beauty you could add with the exhibits. Phew! Definitely changed my mind about the game. At first I thought that game would be simpler with basic farming and collecting, which I would've been fine with, but man, this is some kind of beauty and elegance the Playstation games can't touch (let alone XBox). I think the most amazing part was the art exhibits with all the nifty description. Man, the developers really went out of their way to develop this.
But yeah, definitely need to take it slow, because phew, that was overwhelming. Go and check out Sasey's island if you get the chance. It's like super amazing with lots of effort and dedication put into it. Looks and feels like a real island resort one would pay millions to visit. lol

I'm finally on a good sleep schedule again! I'm also playing Genshin Impact more, which I'm happy about, and I'm getting groceries soon. Probably going to spend some time watching anime again. Also talking to my S/O. It helps to focus on the positives on a day like today. ^^

Today was a relatively calm day at work, which is very nice!
One of my customers brought me coffee and donuts. I always appreciate when someone does something like that!
I have a yummy dinner waiting for me tonight - lobster bisque and some white rice. Filling but not heavy, and a bit decadent (at least, for me).
And I got a new doll yesterday. She's meant to be a representation of my AC character. I'm waiting on clothes for her, but I'll share when they arrive.

I had a nice day today. I finally washed the sheets and comforter since they desperately needed it. I was planning on washing them last weekend but then I got sick. So now I've had a shower, put on clean pajamas, and tonight I get to snuggle into a clean bed. Otherwise, I've just been relaxing with my husband and my dog today.

a few things!
• had a good mental health day for the first time in like 4 days so that's awesome, I did have to lie down for like two hours but that's fine!
• I got my laundry and my mom's laundry washed, mine is folded but I'll have to fold mom's tomorrow.
• I got all my dishes done yay!!! they've been stacking up a bit bc I've had a few bad days and nobody washes my dishes for me
• watched the indigo league anime some more and im still getting a ton of laughs out of it.
• I am absolutely obsessed with this fox plush, he's so big and cuddly I just want to hug him 24/7! I like that he's not a super duper high quality plush so even though he's made well he can also withstand lots of playtime and hugs ☺
• hanging out w my dog and this kitten today has been a treat, just like every day

Just had a nice week away from home overall, nothing like up and disappearing when you can to really calm the nerves haha.
Took advantage of all the Targets near me to pickup some amiibo card packs. I'm so glad I can actually obtain these damn cards and fill out a collection now. I'm even tempted to get back into playing NH with a whole new set of villagers, now that I can invite almost all of my favorites back whenever. I really hope they reprint the WA set too. I need Dobie and Vivian's cards before I can give them the temporary boot.
Also took advantage of that 50% off Clip Studio Paint sale to get myself a new art program to play with. It's got a lot more features than the last one I was using. Quite excited to sit down and learn the ropes when I get the chance.
The very first doodle, when testing out the default brushes haha.

⬥ My portable phone charger was somehow stolen during my last trip, and I had just got around to ordering a new one.
⬥ I had the chance to wash my blanket and fitted sheet, so I can sleep on a clean mattress.
⬥ My job orientation is on Monday. I’ll be working late evenings. I’m happy that I found somethingnot morning shift before I head out. The pay and hours are also decent.
⬥ My travel credit card reimbursed me for one of my bus tickets. It was a relatively cheap ticket and only $20, but it was still nice to get it for free.

Today's been a better day then I've had in a while!
-Overall I've just felt better today - there were still some moments where I felt a bit sick for whatever reason but overall I've felt better today. It was super windy but fairly warm so we had all out windows open which was nice! I love when we're able to let fresh air into the house, even if I do think I might be allergic to something because I have been so sneezy today, lol.
-I cleaned my sewing machine!! I really should do it more often but I noticed the tension was off last night despite me never really fiddling with the tension settings I don't understand them. Cleaning it came up as a solution to maybe help with the tension, and it did! There was... a lot of lint (dust?? Fluff?) down in the bobbin area so no wonder the tension was bad 
and I added some more oil so now it's running wonderfully.
-Speaking of sewing, I was able to sew together a mock up dress! I tried out a princess seam bodice and it was super weird to sew together. I was convinced I was doing something wrong before I even started sewing, lol. I tried to ~blend sizes~ for the bodice which was a bit awkward with how curvy the princess seams are but it seemed to work out okay. Because it's so curvy I had to sew pretty slow but I'm really pleased with how it looks!! I really dislike sewing darts so this being an alternative is really nice!! I mean the neckline isn't high enough to add collars but I haven't figured those out yet anyways. Tomorrow I'll see if I can make everything fit on the fabric I really want to use.
I'm excited to work on my dress tomorrow

Today was much, much better than yesterday! I've been in a pretty good mood all day.
-I tidied up my room a little bit! There's still more that needs to be done, but it's one thing off my mind.
-Had a ton of time to play DQXI S today, and progressed quite a bit! I'll probably be able to finish the game soon...ish. We'll see how long some of the final stuff takes me, ahaha.
-My mom made a really lovely dinner—mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables with vegetarian chicken strips, and peach slices. Really hoping there'll be enough left for me to have some for breakfast tomorrow.

posting this now just in case i fall asleep lol, but today was a good day! definitely the best day that i’ve had in about a week or so. 
did an animal crossing trade.
received a lovely compliment on my acnh island rep from @/red_odessa that made my day! i'll also be receiving some art from them in the near future, which i’m ecstatic about and super grateful for! i‘m honestly so excited to see my island rep in their art style; they’re super talented!
did a quick lil drawing of a cockatiel for @/pochy’s giveaway! it’s definitely not my best work, but creating art always makes me feel good and i’m actually pretty happy with how it turned out! i’m of course very happy about the giveaway as well; this community is so generous! ^_^
received a second copy of margie’s photo in acnh! it caught me off guard a bit as i’ve never received a villager’s photo more than once before, but it was definitely a very pleasant surprise!
tidied up my room a bit.
a new chapter of one of the fanfics that i’ve been reading was published! it was super good and i’m really looking forward to the next one!
cuddled with my kitty twice + she meowed at me a few times! <3
