What Are You Happy About Today?

This is from the last couple of days rather then today but didn’t get round to posting it last night;

Celebrated my birthday with my family yesterday and had a lovely meal out with them at my favourite local country pub, it has a really lovely character and great food, during the evening. With work it’s often hard to get a day where everyone is free to go out, especially as my sister is a nurse and can find it very hard to swap shifts, so I was really pleased that all the family could make it and had a really good day and enjoyable evening :giggle:

Within the last week my grandparents have finally got a date to move into their new home, it’s just over a week now. There have been a lot of delays to their move due to supplier issues with building materials and it’s been a really stressful time for everyone involved but I’m really happy that it’s finally coming to an end and very soon they’ll be living just up the road from me which will make it so much easier to visit them :giggle:

Finally, in about 7 weeks I’ll be picking up another adorable Ragdoll kitten, a little girl, to complete our lovely pet family. She’ll be our 4th current cat (after 2 male Maine Coons and another female Ragdoll) and will also join a very loveable spaniel and lively cockapoo in the house - which means with 6 pets we’ll have one for every family member which my dad will say is the absolute limit 😆. I can’t wait to welcome her into the home and give her just as much love, care and cuddles that I give all the other pets - which will mean my day will be filled with a lot of pet cuddling 🥰

She’s so cute! 🥰
 
My dad gave me this metal piece consisting of two curvy nails that go together, and asked me to separate them. He said it would probably take me at least one hour to separate them, but it only took me five minutes. I also learned how to put them back together when I learned the secret of pulling them apart. People in the past have always told me I'm smart, but I never believed them. I'm someone who has struggled with self confidence and loving myself for awhile. I know this is about the dumbest thing that would ever change my opinion of myself, but as of today I finally am able to believe for myself that I'm smart. That the entire reason I haven't been doing well isn't because I'm not smart, but because I haven't learned or practiced any new skills or jobs for awhile. In most cases, once I've practiced something enough I'm actually able to do really well at it. The fact remains that I am far more intelligent because I was born with Aspergers than if I never had it in the first place. And that one, silly, dumb thing that my dad gave me is what I am happy about today. :giggle:

Congratulations! 🥳 Thank you for sharing her picture with us ☺️. She is purrfect and adorable 🥺. That is such exciting news!

And happy belated birthday! I’m glad you had a wonderful birthday 🙂.

My drawing is going well (I have some mixed feelings about it but I think overall it is much better than my last food drawing that I did). Might take me a bit longer; sorry Shellzilla! I have the bean balls all done and have one more food on the plate to finish after I get the plate finished and after that or along the way, I need to try to make sure I don’t need to adjust the colors of the bean balls or the detail, and adjust the plate’s color. Last time I didn’t try to shade or color the plate, but this time I decided to give it a shot.

I beat something difficult in my gacha game that I wasn’t able to the last time the missions were refreshed; garp’s challenge hody dex team (one piece treasure cruise thing). Having fun with the game in spite blowing all the new gems that were rewarded by this event and not getting the units I want. Got one more try that I can do soon once I finish the mission rewarding the gems.

Mood is still pretty wonky but seeing Jem’s new kitten picture, a picture of @Roxxy ’s cat, and @xara ’s cheered me up a bit ☺️.
 
Today was a stereotypical Monday so there wasn't a lot for me to be happy about, but I did complete all the work I needed to get done today. I also got in to see my chiropractor this afternoon since my back pain has been flaring up all weekend. I had a different massage therapist and she worked a lot of different areas, so I'm feeling loose and better all over. I hope it helps me sleep better tonight, but I'm going back for a follow-up on Wednesday so if I'm still in pain then I know I don't have to wait too long to address it.
 
Finally picked a username that I can be happy with, so now I can start saving up tbt for other things, like artwork from the most talented people here on TBT. (Everyone is talented I believe! ☺️) Hopefully I can be just as talented as everyone else, so I’m gonna try to start practicing and learn more about procreate and my iPad. c:
 
my day was pretty boring ngl, but it was thankfully still a good one! this month has honestly put me through the wringer quite a bit and it isn’t even halfway over yet, but my days are getting better and my depression/low energy seems to be slowly ebbing away again, which i’m very happy about and grateful for. ^_^ i hope i don’t jinx myself by saying this LOL.

stepped out of my comfort zone a bit and complimented some people + said a few things on discord! complimenting people or chiming into a conversation always makes me anxious as i never want to creep out or annoy anyone, so it feels good whenever i’m able to tell myself to piss off and take steps towards overcoming my anxiety. :’)
got 2x nook points.
went island hopping in acnh and invited midge on my 43rd ticket! 💗
found out that chicago med is on netflix canada! i’ve been wanting to watch it for the longest time, so i’m super happy that i’m finally able to!
read 2 new fanfics and really enjoyed them!
posted a new island journal entry.
tidied up my room a bit. i even took some garbage out to the chute, which i’m lowkey proud of myself for doing! :’) leaving my apartment makes me anxious lol.
cuddled with my kitty. <3
 
-Finished tidying up one area of my room! There's still another area that could use some work, but it's feeling nice and open in here again already.
-Figured out something for my book!
-Felt like playing ACNH some today, and there just so happened to be a meteor shower! 🌠 Got to catch up with my villagers, work on my island a smidge, and order a birthday present for Tutu too.
 
I've settled into university alright after two days of induction! Yesterday was tough, I didn't get much sleep and I was dealing with a cold, so I was super tired and nervous. But today went really well after I managed to get a good nights sleep and my cold went away. Now I've got a few days of rest before starting properly on Monday,, I'm happy I managed to make friends and talk to people in my class.

One thing I'm NOT happy about is the blood test I've got in less than an hour 😖
 
My head feels like it's going to explode (because of the rain, I think) but I wanted to come post here to talk about some good things today!

-I caught up with a friend who I haven't spoke to in a while which was really nice. They're doing well, just busy with life so we haven't talked for a little bit. It's always nice getting to check in with friends again 🥰

-We put our air conditioner away (although the forecast for the next week is looking a little warm...) which I'm excited about! Our air conditioner only fits in our kitchen which takes up what little counterspace we do have, which is tricky. Now that we've put it away I'll be able to bake again!!

-We got rain!! It's a bummer that it's making my head ache but aside from that I do love when we get rain. Todays been a bit warm and the rain has helped cool everything down and it's just nice getting to see the sky go all grey and such.

-I maybe ordered a new eyeshadow palette and I'm really excited about!! Tiny font though because I'm supposed to be on a no buy... but the palette is so pretty and pink and it was on sale!! I'm super excited 😭
 
A couple of things:
-Finally reopened my art shop! Honestly I'm pretty proud of how it looks.
-Got kangaroo yoshi in mario kart tour on the 8th try, and i'm honestly pretty happy with him
-Also was able to catch myself up to 5th place in the ranked cup in mario kart tour! I won't be able to get pink yoshi for this cup, but I can try again tomorrow for the next ranked cup!
(Plus I'm glad I got out of 7th place)
-Earn a lot of bells at the quarry today and was able to complete a leaf ticket map in pocket camp!
 
I'm taking tomorrow afternoon off work. I have my first counseling appointment, which I'm both nervous and excited about. I also have a follow-up chiropractor appointment. So I'm hoping things go well tomorrow.

I have over an hour in between appointments, so I might go shopping for my niece's birthday present too. I'll just have to see how things go.
 
I finally got myself to make an emergency "go-bag". Basically it's a bag w/ clothes, a tooth brush, toothpaste, other toiletries, extras of my meds, important documents, hand sanitizer, etc, just in case there's ever a fire in my apartment building. So I can just grab the bag, my purse, phone, and leave, without worrying or panicking looking around for stuff when a fire alarm goes off. It was recommended to me to make one awhile back and I never got around to doing it until now, but I'm happy that I finally did. I feel more prepared.
