What Are You Happy About Today?

@xara I'm so sorry to hear about your grandmother and I hope you are doing ok. It is fine to find some things to be happy about, even when dealing with a tragedy. It's what helps us move forward and gives us hope. I wish you all the best.

Some things I'm happy about today:

- My back is feeling even better than yesterday. I have a chiropractor appointment tomorrow afternoon, so hopefully they can fix me up again.

- I have my second counseling appointment tomorrow afternoon as well. I've been taking their advice after the first visit and it's been helping some, so I'm looking forward to continuing the process.

- I only work a half-day tomorrow because of my appointments.

- Despite several issues coming up at work today, I didn't let it throw me into a panic. I kept my cool, worked through one thing at a time, and as a result didn't feel so overwhelmed like I have been lately.
 
today was peaceful. i spent most of my day either sleeping or with my family, but despite everything that’s happened and how odd it is not having my grandmother here, i feel emotionally and mentally lighter than i did yesterday. times are tough, but i’ll be okay. <3

❁ watched the trailer for the 4th and final season of on my block! it’s coming out a lot sooner than i expected, but i’m excited! i still need to watch s3 of sex education and the trailer for s3 of you lol.
❁ added 2 new clothing items to my acnh catalog!!
❁ bought the september birthstone (sapphire) collectible in honour of a close friend of mine’s birthday today. 💙
❁ got 2x nook points.
❁ tidied up my room a bit.
❁ my parents picked me up some of my favourite soda (voltage mountain dew) while they were out.
❁ i showed my mom the art that i’ve made this year for the first time. i’m not really sure what prompted me to do so as sharing things that i‘ve created with my family makes me uncomfortable, but it felt really important tonight. it didn’t matter that my mom didn’t completely understand the camp bell tree art or that the self portrait i made isn’t the best because i think it helped take her mind off of things, and that makes it worth it to me. i don’t regret it at all and am glad that i shared my art with her. i’ll do my best to do that more often from now on. 🖤

thank you so much. 💙

i’m happy to hear that you didn’t let things at work get to you and that your back is feeling better today! i hope that your back continues to feel good and that your appointments go well tomorrow. : )
 
two days ago I went to the local craft store to pick up some embroidery kits, ended up getting one cross stitch kit and one plastic canvas kit. starting them was a little intimidating since I've barely done anything like this besides sewing buttons and a small costume i made a few years ago.

yesterday I started the plastic canvas kit and once I figured out what I was doing I really enjoyed it! I wanted to find a new hobby that doesn't involve staring at a screen so hopefully I can keep up with these two kits and really enjoy my time with them :)

also my tiger plush should be here Friday and I'm really excited about that! 🐯


edit: I forgot to mention, today is the first day of autumn here in the northern hemisphere! it's cold and rainy outside, perfect weather to curl up in a warm blanket and work on my plastic canvas kit ☺🍁

I'm having a really good day. My mood is a lot better than it was the past couple days, I feel optimistic. My focus is better, so I've been able to read a lot. I spent some time outside, the weather is nice. It's cloudy, a little sunny, and breezy. It's the first day of autumn!! :D

Looking forward to Friday!

Right now I'm just listening to some music and browsing the forum. I might log onto my ACNH island in a little bit.

I'm also excited about the protein smoothie I'm having later for dinner. It has vanilla protein powder, butternut squash, and cinnamon in it, it tastes really good, like the fall
 
I worked on my plastic canvas kit some more, watched AVGN/James and Mike Mondays, and I also spent a lot of time with my dog and kitten so that was nice. I did have to go out for a few min in the rain/cold to get my mom's prescriptions but I got to wear a thick warm pullover. so glad it's autumn now, I hope it stays cool outside! ☺
 
Still feeling down but am happy because event in gacha ended on the hardest difficulty map and I managed to stay in the top 2000ish rank. Got a unit that I wanted in a new banner in this game. ☺️

Had some laughs with some acquaintances and friends on this server I am on at least :). Some of us may be watching some more anime when one of my friends gets time from school work; I was very happy they pinged me so I could see they still wanted to watch it with me ☺️.
 
today was a bit gloomier than yesterday was weather-wise and energy-wise, but it was still a moderately decent day... even though i spent most of it sleeping again lol. :’)

❁ received carmen’s photo in acnh!! i also managed to tt her out afterwards sorry, carmen! >_<, and am very excited to go island hopping later!
❁ my lovely friends @Dunquixote and @Roxxy sent me some adorable kitty photos!! i appreciate them so much, along with everyone else who has checked up on me over the past couple of days. i suck at expressing gratitude, but i really do appreciate you all so much. thank you. 🖤
❁ i’m super happy about and excited for the nintendo direct tomorrow! i’m not sure if anything about animal crossing will be mentioned, but i’m excited regardless. it feels nice to have something to look forward to. :’)
❁ helped out my family quite a bit today. i even made my mom laugh earlier, which felt great. <3
❁ my kitty was being very clingy tonight, which i thought was adorable... until i realized that she was only sucking up to me so that i’d give her some treats LOL. it was still pretty adorable, though, and i of course gave in to her. 😋
❁ my mom will be starting counselling next week! i’m very happy for her and am glad that she’ll be getting some help, though the timing is definitely pretty ironic lol.
❁ it’s been rainy and cold all day, which i’m definitely not complaining about! i currently have my window open so that some cold air will get in, and my room already feels cooler, which i’m very happy about! ☺️

Those flower bullet notes look so cool! Such a good idea to color them :lemon:
 
  • for uni today we went to the beach, I'm really proud of myself for driving there as I'm usually really anxious when going new places. I had SO much fun (I'm training to be a children's teacher so we basically got to be kids again for a few hours) & met some lovely people. I can tell I'm really going to enjoy this course!
  • I ordered some makeup bits which arrived today! I also may have ordered the wrong spf as it came in a huge bottle.. I'm sure it'll still be fine to use on my face lol.
  • since it's getting colder I wanted to get a fleece & managed to get 2 for a really affordable price!
  • I had a lovely mocha (hehe) from Starbucks
  • Overall, I'm just extremely proud of myself for getting this far. I have struggled with my mental health for years and have always been too shy to follow my dreams and do what I actually want to do. I am now monitoring & handling my mental health better than I've ever been able to before, I am at university (something I never imagined would be possible), I have bought a house with the person I love most & have a hobby (making art) which I adore. I've never been more optimistic about the future which is huge for me as I didn't really envision a future for myself.

Moral of the story: you're never too old to follow your dreams & you can do whatever you put your mind to. You just need to believe in yourself ♡
 
I'm happy because I got some good sleep. I was worried I wouldn't because I've been in the process of coming off two of my medications, and typically I'm unable to sleep more than 3-4 hours without them. I'm finishing up some laundry right now. I feel good, I'm on 2 less meds than I was on and I'm very happy about that. I wanted to be on less since I was on 6 meds plus an as needed med (for schizoaffective disorder bipolar type), now I'm only on 4 meds, and 1 as needed med, which I feel is more reasonable. I'm hopeful that being off the other two helps me lose some weight and have a bit more energy.

My mood is really good, I've been spending more time out of being shut up in my bedroom 24/7 and have been in other parts of my apartment for a change. Tomorrow I get to go to my self-care group so I'm excited about that. I haven't had much social interaction in the past few months so it should be nice, I've been getting lonely honestly, even though I am an introvert.

Happy birthday @Foreverfox :) ❤ Hope you have a great day!
 
I went to Salvation Army and found a working tape rewinder for $5 so now I can watch my movies! 📼

I also stopped by Hobby Lobby to see if they had any plastic canvas kits. they had the materials but no kits, so instead I picked out a really small cross-stitch kit with a fox on it. prob go back another time when i have an idea for my own project. I also bought the little ceramic fox I saw last time I went a few weeks ago. it was pricey but I couldn't resist, he's so adorable! 🦊💕
