What Are You Happy About Today?

I finished making the bandana for my fox and I'm really happy with how it turned out ☺🦊🍄

I'm finding that I'm rediscovering my love of plushies, the same love I had as a kid. I actually find happiness in these guys and I won't let anyone tell me that plushies are childish if they're one of the few things that truly bring me happiness. maybe if I learn to crochet or sew I can make little coats/clothes for them 🥰

also had a pretty relaxing day, didn't get everything done I wanted to do but I did get some of my spreadsheet work done for my internship so that's good! hoping to finish it tomorrow.
 
I was at work today by the dryer doing laundry things. The door to the backroom I was in was open, so from the front of the store you can see all the way down. The washer & dryer machine are right in view too.

As I was standing there my boss came into work and brought her new puppy. I didn't even know the puppy was there until he RAN up to me for pets and stuff (he knows me he's been to the shop for like a week now). I hadn't even acknowledged, talked or looked at him yet but the way dogs just run up to me all happy like makes me happy😄

Also this was earlier this week but today's incident reminded me of this other thing that happened. One of my coworkers has a Chihuahua she brings to work, everyone loves the dog she's super cute and nice. She socializes the dog to the other workers, including me cause, hello, small adorable dog ofcourse I'm going to go say hi to her.

So one day as I'm saying hi to her petting and such, one of the other workers tells her to come over so she can say hi to the dog too. The dog goes over there for like a few seconds but then comes right back to me, which she hasn't done before. The dogs owner says the dog likes me☺ The dog used to be shy around me but she actually approached me it was so super cute.
 
I went to a cupsleeve event today with my bsf which was pretty fun since we got some stuff there! after that we went to this shopping center where we got a chocolate cheesecake (also one for my mom) and shared some shaved ice :] i also bought a bag which is nice since i didn’t have anywhere to put my stuff whenever I went out (it was kind of expensive tho 😭 )
 
Today didn't start out the greatest, but I tried not to let it get to me. Instead of being upset about being woken up early by the neighbors, I turned it into a productive day. I bathed and brushed my dog. He feels so soft and clean now. I also washed two loads of laundry and paid the bills, plus took care of some of my own hygiene stuff. So now that all that is done, hopefully I can rest and sleep in tomorrow.
 
I took a shift at work instead of having a day off today, whoops lol I treated myself to a pumpkin spice latte to make up for it.

While I was out I was able to buy some Animal Crossing Amiibo cards (series 1). It was the very last package in the store and I got Flo's amiibo card in it so if that isn't fate I don't know what is. Then we got take out for dinner so I didn't have to cook and now just having a nice evening playing games with my partner :)

Anyway, I've been MIA for several days moving from my old house into a new one, and it's honestly so refreshing. I no longer live somewhere that has any connection to my mom, and while I'll continue to remember her well in my heart, I no longer feel held back by the grief from her death. I'm also very close to starting two new jobs, which I'm super excited about. Lastly, I've pretty much finished unpacking my new room. My shelves are lined with plenty of photos, cards, books, and other things. I put a crap load of heart into decorating my room, and it looks fantastic. I even have enough signed sports memorabilia to have my own sectional of it. :oops:

I'll never forget all the memories I made growing up, and now I'm finally ready to move forward with my life. :giggle:

That's really awesome to hear, Diluc! I did notice you weren't online for a day at least, but I'm pretty sure this was the reason why since you did mention previously that you moved into a new house. I've seen you stay persistent in whatever life is throwing at you and getting two jobs as a result! I don't know everything that you're going through, but I'm sure your mother would be proud of you for getting to this point. Such a great thing to hear from my friend. 💙
 
-Transferred all the finished pages from my busted sketchbook to a file! I still need to do something with the remaining blank pages since the sketchbook isn't really usable anymore, but I'm happy I don't have to worry about the finished pages anymore. Some of the rings are so out-of-place that the book can't close properly, and I was worried it was going to start bending the pages.
-Won pochy's giveaway!! 🐥 There's some higher-end collectibles I want to start saving up for, so this will definitely help.
-Played some more DQXI S today! Mostly a lot of forging and resource-gathering—I'm hoping to perfectly forge every possible piece of equipment, so I've started working towards that. I'm all set up to farm seeds of skill next time I play too!
-Added a new desktop wallpaper to my rotation!
 
  • Went to work and generally had a good day! Went to Dunkin afterwards to get a pumpkin cold brew :3
  • Changed the keycaps on my keyboard to make it look nice c:
  • My manager bought me a soda/pop/soft-drink today at work on his day off ;w; He came in to buy some things, and asked if I wanted something to drink! He's normally super grouchy and this meant the world to me!
  • Finally getting some progress done in AC:NH! I had to restart my island because of a brainfart on my end when I got a new Switch, so I'm glad I'm able to get some stuff done c:
  • Now, I'm just relaxing and listening to some good tunes! ^w^
Today was a good day!
 
So, thanks to @Sasey, I learned about treasure islands today and that immediately solved my layout problem because now... I have about, let's see... 999 million, 999 thousand, and 999 bells in my ABD. Not much, just the max amount of bells I could get from the treasure island of a local Singaporean I found on Carousell (Singaporean third party merchant site like Amazon/eBay). So now I am free. And God said, "Let there be bells forever, and there are bells forever."

How much did I pay for access to the treasure island? Eh, just a discountable rate of $60 for an entire month. I don't really need one month to clear off the island of all its catalogues and furniture and DIYs, but it's a good rate should I need something I don't have in the future, like the museum donations that I could actually bring home and donate to my own museum! Finally, the power of money triumphs for uncreative and lazy people like me! LMAO And who says laziness never pays? Well, technically, I'm still the one paying, so I guess it doesn't actually pay and actually cost me money... but details, details.

Man, it's almost pathetic for me to pay so much just for a video game. lol Just because I refuse to work hard and dislike challenges and like my games to be as relaxing as possible... but it's a lifestyle, I guess.

Anyway, the only problem I have remaining is that I'd have to time-travel if I want to move my buildings quickly... but I think I could wait. I have all the bells in the world right now, so I could just sit back and relax, and wait for the construction to be done. FINALLY! I CAN RELAX! lol

Anyway, expect major changes to my island journal soon. I've got a feeling that you're gonna see some pretty amazing stuff in the upcoming months... I've just acquired the Halloween and Christmas items too, so I'm sure they'll be put to good use.
 
  • My sister called me, it was nice to hear from her. She's been really busy with work lately so we haven't had a chance to talk or hang out much lately.
  • I had a really good iced matcha latte. I just put a cup of milk or almond milk in my shaker bottle, w/ a teaspoon of matcha powder, a splash of vanilla extract, ice cubes, and about a table spoon of honey, then shake it all up, and enjoy. It's really good.
  • I've been watching some older episodes of Pokémon and it has been helping with my anxiety, I think because it reminds me of when I was a little kid, brings back good memories, and anime in general usually puts me in a good mood. There's something about it
  • I watched another episode of the Haunting of Bly Manor, really enjoying it.
  • Have time to read my book tonight :)
