What Are You Happy About Today?

[.: Meri :.]

Slept pretty rough last night and just kinda... felt slow and off all day, but there's still some nice stuff that happened!
-Got groceries with my mom today and we're all stocked up on food and a few little treats again!
-Played a little more ACNH today and finally nabbed the Pile of Leaves DIY!
-GinjaNinjaOwO uploaded another magical girl art telephone game video! It was fun seeing all the (sometimes wildly) different directions the design went in; they were all really charming and well-done!

⬥ I had my job orientation at work. It was basically just watching videos and taking tests, but it was paid time. Everyone seems to be pretty laid back and it’s a very small restaurant, so it shouldn’t be too busy at any given point.
⬥ I shipped out my first eBay package. The process was a bit confusing at first, but I’ve gotten the hang of it. Things are more simplified now with the addition of the QR code for the shipping labels. The tracking number updates online immediately, so that puts my mind at ease.
⬥ My favorite YouTuber did a six hour livestream this afternoon, but I missed it because of work. However, his videos in general have contributed a lot to my positive mindset. He also promotes side hustles, and it’s what got me into selling on eBay.
⬥ This point was just edited in… BUT I shedded my old phone number and area code. I committed to the area code of the city I desire to move to. It was a big step, and I did it.

• Someone had her baby a few days ago and she's doing well! I'm not gonna call her out, but I'm happy for her! I luv dem babbies!
• There are so many new art shops in The Museum thread! I don't know what I want to request, but I'm excited!
• I am super proud of the Genshin Impact signature I made for @EchoNyx (though I'm trying not to pat myself on the back too much)
  • Click for full size:
  • I am learning knew techniques, and although there are plenty of flaws, I think I'm ready to take off the training wheels of using lineart as a paint-bucket border and progress to painting over it.
• The weather was cool enough today for me to weed the garden and to enjoy some light showers.
• My son is improving on his potty training (fingers crossed). It has been a huge stressor for years, and I see hope that he will become independent in this matter...

my day got off to a bit of a rocky start and i’ve felt pretty sluggish all day, but i’m pleased to report that i had another good day today in spite of all that! ^_^

❁ the situation that i’ve been dealing with since last week (my school unenrolled me without telling me and i wasn’t informed until the night before what was supposed to be my first day) has finally been resolved! after talking with my vice principal and guidance counsellor on the phone today, i have officially been reenrolled and will be starting class either tomorrow or thursday!! i’m nervous about starting a few days late, but i’m so relieved that this whole mess is finally over.
❁ ^^ speaking of that, i’m also really happy that my dad handled the whole situation better than i thought he would. he usually loses his **** when it comes to my schooling, but he’s stayed calm and even reassured me that this wasn’t my fault, which was nice. :’)
❁ okay last school-related thing i promise LOL, but today i had to fill out a student profile for one of my teachers, and rather than not mentioning it like i normally do, i asked her if she could call me by my preferred name (xara) instead of my birth one. i’m anxious about having done that lol, but i’m also very proud of myself! now i just need to muster up enough courage to ask the rest of my teachers + bring it up to my guidance counsellor.
❁ found a new editing style for my acnh photos that i’m happy with! i’ve been struggling with this for a few days now, so i’m happy that i finally found something that i like! fingers crossed that i don’t get sick of it anytime soon lmao.
❁ read 2 new fanfics and loved them! they were both so well written, and one even made me cry aha.
❁ my mom picked me up some more things while she was out today, including more of my favourite soda, chocolate milk and medication that i’ve been needing!
❁ cuddled with my kitty. i was waiting for my vice principal to call me back at the time, and she helped soothe my nerves a lot. <3
❁ just got finished making some spontaneous art of @/xSuperMario64x’s new webkinz plushies! i’ve never been inspired so quickly before, so that was nice lol. i’m also pretty happy with how it turned out!

Been dealing with a bit of depression for the last few days, but happy about a few things. I finished a drawing and can definitely see a big difference between this drawing and the last food one I did.

Got almost enough gems to do another multi in my gacha game but I probably should start saving again for Shanks vs Whitebeard unit. Probably will go ahead and spend them as soon as I hit the amount I need to pull. I forgot when I pulled again but I got a special anniversary unit that I wanted and a Zoro legendary unit that I didn’t have (and was starting to kinda want).

A friend on a discord server requested that I do an Ignis drawing when I told her about my FFXV food drawing and how I was contemplating adding an Ignis chibi or something below the plate (or attempt it). So I got a project to do after I get done with Shellzilla’s rep which I will start working on tomorrow . I’m nervous and excited. My people drawing skill and anatomy is still the same—very bad, but depending on how I draw it, this could be another opportunity to improve.

My husband had a minor surgery on his foot yesterday and he’s being a bit cranky due to the pain but I’m just relieved that he is going to be okay Last night I watched him play Dark Souls for about 4 hours and it was so much fun! I’m not very good at that game but he let me fight some enemies and ring a church bell and I only died because I fell off a ledge. I’m getting better

My book I ordered is out for delivery today. I'm happy because it seemed like it was lost in the mail system or something because it didn't come at the latest expected delivery date (yesterday), but the tracking info finally updated and it's coming today!! I'm excited because it is about maintaining recovery from eating disorders, which is what I'm working on.

I'm also happy about this thread too, I love reading all the different things that make people happy each day, it brings me a lot of joy

I'm glad I have an appointment with my primary care doctor tomorrow so I can get back on meds for GERD (acid reflux). I've been waiting for this appointment for well over a month and a half. He's only in the clinic on Thursdays so it's hard to get an appointment with him.

The tea thread in this forum inspired me to make a cup of tea, so now I'm enjoying a cup of black tea in my Zelda mug ❤

 

[Midoriya]

Absolutely nothing, and that's okay.

 

[Soigne]

i ordered a new watch today and it'll get here the day after my birthday! plus today is the last day of the week that i have to work at both my jobs, so the rest of the week should be easy sailing.

I'm happy that I did my civic duty and voted today. Now just gotta hope this election goes the way I want it to.

My mum’s new boyfriend gave me necklace with a cat on a moon on ☺

-Got kangaroo yoshi in mario kart tour on the 8th try, and i'm honestly pretty happy with him

honestly had to do a Google search on this, he's so hilarious and cute


yesterday my leopard plushies were both set to arrive on Saturday, but now the blue one should arrive tomorrow and the pink one on Friday. I'm surprised the USPS is working so fast but the closer they come to me the more excited I get!!

also my mom ended up paying the full price of my dog's flea collar, since I've been helping out at home so much. I'm super grateful

 

[DaisyFan]

Happy Independence Day to most of the Central American countries! I'm going to celebrate later today!

 

[Orius]

This.

It's a strange, melancholic feeling. Getting all 150 Pokémon (well, technically, 152, including Mew and Meltan) feels like the end of a journey, yet it also feels a little empty. I've done it! I've reached the goal! And now there's not much else to be done. lol

Will probably take a break before I start "Let's Go, Eevee". Like a long break.

My fake dogs calling me their prince.

 

[-Blue-]

I was able to get started on weather-proofing my planter boxes. Took an entire can of weatherproof stain to finish two of them, but at least I know they're ready for whatever next year throws at them. Still got two more to paint and then I can cover them in epoxy. But being able to get started is half the battle and I'm glad about that.

Also making a good bit of extra cash with my produce stand. And I started so late this year. I can only imagine what I would be making had I started from the beginning. Next year I am just going to start selling early and freeze whatever gets old and doesn't sell.

My fake dogs calling me their prince.

Forgive me for my ignorance, but what do you mean by fake dog? Like is it a robotic dog?

Today has been a relatively good day for me!

- I got off work at noon today because I had two appointments in the afternoon.
- I had my first appointment with a counselor today. She diagnosed me with anxiety and depression, which isn't a surprise, but it's nice to know for sure and be able to define what I'm dealing with. This was more of get-to-know-you meeting before really getting started, but she did give me a few tips to help manage my stress levels and I'm going to start implementing them right away.
- I went shopping for my niece's birthday present and found her an adorable wooden fantasy playset with a princess, a unicorn, a dragon and more. I love it so much! I hope she does too!
- I had my follow-up chiropractor appointment. My back was already starting to feel better today but I got another hour long massage, so hopefully I can sleep well tonight.
- I think I'm already in a better state of mind just knowing that I'm going to start addressing and working through my issues. I hope I can maintain this positive feeling for a while.

Deltarune chapter 2 is dropping in two days!! I can't wait!
I'm hoping for a glimpse of my boy Papyrus.

I think today was generally a good day for me:

• I felt better today compared to yesterday. For some unknown reason, I was feeling a tad bit weak, but it was nothing serious and I'm back to good health.
• There was this errand I had to do today. In fact, I was a little nervous in the past couple of days leading up to it. I'm glad I was able to get over it at least. Whatever the outcome may be, then so be it.
• Feel free to skip this point. While I had to go out for a bit, I spotted an MGC GT. Welp that's the first time I've seen an MG car (which is short for Morris Garages) and that's another one I've learned to expand my car knowledge lol (think of the encyclopedia of fish and bugs in AC).
• I played Gran Turismo 6 to complete more races while getting PIT-maneveured by a Ferrari on three occasions LOL and ACNH to check up on my island. I'm glad to be able to help Queenie once again since she's tied for being my favourite along with Sterling on my island.

Deltarune chapter 2 is dropping in two days!! I can't wait!
I'm hoping for a glimpse of my boy Papyrus.

Hold up, really? Wow, I remember completing the first chapter back in 2019 and then waiting forever for the next one haha. I guess this is another point to add that made me happy today!
