What Are You Happy About Today?

I figured out my NaNo project for this year! It'll be the first time I can participate in 2 years, because of my hand surgeries, so I'm excited about it.

I'm going to write a series of interconnected short stories for children, using my little dolls as characters. I have about half a dozen little ones - 5" or so, and I'll have them living in a fairy village created in an old garden. I'm planning to do something in the style of (although not copying!!) Winnie the Pooh Stories or Raggedy Ann Stories. I figure I'll need 25-30 stories to make my word count, so I'm working on getting basic ideas now.
 
I've been practicing ukulele. Working on Jingle Bells. The dashing through the snow section is kind of complex, but I'll get better at it. I'm learning a bunch of Christmas songs so I can put vids of me playing on my Facebook in December for family and friends :)
 
had to take another nap today (I slept off and on for 4 hours lmao) but I got some of the stuff in my bathroom cleared out (my dad was using it as a storage room ugh). also after waking up from my nap there was a video playing on my phone from one of my favorite youtubers and I genuinely laughed at it, I dont think I've laughed so much at a video in a while. I felt like my depression was subsiding a bit for once in my life, it was nice. 🍑
 
Today was a good day and a lot better than the past two days for me (yikes). I basically just took care of some household tasks, watched some anime, and then played Genshin Impact for the rest of the day. HUGE stress reliever, which I really needed, and now I'm feeling a lot better and am ready for this coming week. :)
 
I found someone selling a Strawberry Clouded Leopard plush on Mercari for like $5, it's a webkinz I've been wanting for soooo long I'm so happy I finally found one!! I'm expecting it to be here on Wed-Thurs since I just ordered it this evening but I can't wait!

Today has been pretty good other than my back being sore most of the day. My husband gave me a massage, though, so that was nice.

I finished up Fumetsu no Anata e, which was a happy-sad moment because now I have to wait until next year for season 2.

I've been trying to focus more on doing the things I want to do rather than feeling pressured to do things in my spare time just because. It's hard because I've had this mentality for so long that I don't always know what I actually want to do, but I'm working on it. I'm trying to rediscover myself to benefit my mental health.
 
i’m sleepy and very much so ready for bed, but today was another pretty decent day! ^_^

❁ obtained the isabelle collectible! ty again, @AlyssaAC! 💚
❁ my mom bought me some things while she was out grocery shopping, including chocolate milk (which i haven’t had in ages!) and my favourite soda! this was super nice of her to do and honestly made me really happy. :’)
❁ received ketchup’s photo in acnh!! i also managed to tt her out afterwards sorry, ketchup! and am looking forward to island hopping later!
❁ my kitty took a nap in my room. <3
lil miss has a routine that she likes to follow - whenever she comes to sleep in my room, she’ll lay on my floor for about 20 minutes (while meowing at me until i sit on the floor with her and pet her lmao) before going into my closet and taking a nap. she’s silly, but i love her with all my heart. <3

  • Feel free to skip this point. I saw a few cars for the first time in person that really made me happy while me and my family went somewhere. First, I saw a Nissan Skyline R32! It was hiding behind a car while waiting for it to make a left turn until I saw the design that gave itself away. made Next up, I spotted a Mitsubishi 3000GT (or otherwise known as the Mitsubishi GTO in Japan) in the opposite lane, which appeared to be the 1998 model. Finally, I saw a Nissan Leaf (of all cars lol), two of them in fact parked beside each other in someone's driveway. As for the model year, it could be somewhere between 2011 to 2017 since they look exactly the same for some reason according to a minute's worth of research.
  • I did another car sketch featuring a Volkswagen Beetle 1200 to challenge myself on curved lines. It was pretty much a reality check because I had some struggles getting confident with sweeping curved lines. However, I still felt happy with it in the end since it didn't end up looking too bad. I should probably work on getting comfortable with sketching curved lines first. :giggle:

  • I watched the 2021 Formula 1 Italian Grand Prix today and it also happened to be quite an interesting race. Two championship rivals (Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen) crashed each other out of the race meaning they didn't get any points. With that drama out of the way (and a huge storm of angry diehard fans coming from a mile away), it made me very happy to see the McLaren team win a race again since their last one in 2012. I'm even happier to see Daniel Ricciardo win the race for the team, especially since his last win was in 2018 and that he struggled to find pace this season. It's quite hilarious to see him drink champagne from his shoe up on the podium lol. I'm sure the Australians are celebrating his victory.
  • Opened up ACNH to play for a bit. I pulled up lots of weeds, helped Wisp get his spirits back, and spoke to my villagers. Even at this point, I'm still getting some new dialogue. Diva, I'm sure your height heavily contributed to tripping over your long skirt 20 times a day when you were in school. Like, your head is literally bigger than your entire body lol.
  • I managed to get some more parking practice and the three point turn in a parking lot. The reference points I've been using on the car have been helping me quite a lot that my successful attempts have been pretty consistent aside from a few. My driving test is in a week, so I better pass it in flying colours.😤
 
⬥ I had the motivation to start selling on eBay as a side hustle. I think it’ll be great for extra income. I’m still getting used to the whole shipping label thing, but I’m sure I’ll get the hang of it soon. There’s really no obligation either and I’m free to take breaks with the side hustle whenever.
⬥ I watched a few football games today. I’m not big into football, but I do get hooked on high scoring games. These football games are also a good distraction while I wait for hockey season.
⬥ I dropped off the documents needed for my new job. I start on Tuesday for training. I’m excited to have a job with evening hours, even if it is a temporary job.
⬥ I’m seeing my dog tomorrow morning. He has this ice cream for dogs, and somehow he eats it whole. He is either immune to a brain freeze or it doesn’t bother him. I find it absolutely hysterical watching him eat it in one bite, though.
 
My apartment inspection went well. Also, my apartment case manager is going to put in a referral for me to go to that mental health group that meets downstairs in the community room every last Friday of the month. They do things like art, yoga, journaling, music, and other coping skills for those with mental health problems :)
