What Are You Happy About Today?

i think today is the day the pee smell is finally handled and we can prove to the landlord that the smell has existed and been gross lol shes had plenty of evidence so far but for some reason decides to pick and choose lines from the cleaners report and ignore the rest of their statements that support what we said. i mean they just showed up yesterday and pulled back the carpet (which we now know for sure was were previous tenant kept their litter box) and revealed the smell of all smells. it was so powerful and i almost cried bc finally affirmation and validation of my claims. the cleaners (also the owners) completely supported how we could smell it in the living room and especially at my desk which is right above/next to the spot (its more of a 5 ft cat pee stretch than a spot though). i was so happy the landlord would finally have to acknowledge this but she still didnt. they used their last resort not pet friendly very toxic chemical normally used in cleaning condemned houses and somehow the landlord is still not convinced saying the professionals detected no smell. they surely did and i made sure to confirm verbally and it was no question when they were here. i didnt think i needed to get any recordings of their statements since it was so obvious we have been telling the truth this whole time. but today is the day that i make sure to get a recording of them supporting my claims and the landlord will have to stop saying were being rude and not smelling anything bc it doesnt exist and new places have strange smells so put a lemon in the disposal lol you can probably see the pain ive been through in the last month not only smelling pee daily but also having my reports shut down everytime despite plenty of evidence. today is the day i get that ironclad proof that i promised the landlord and myself 💪😤

edit: well the cleaners didnt feel comfortable doing any interview but thats okay bc we made sure to talk at length again and discuss how the landlord is ignoring parts of the reports that support our claims. they are going to be extremely thorough in their next report so that no more misunderstandings are possible. i have hope at least that landlord will not contest this last report

My little man was caught grooming a stuffed animal the other day. It’s how bunnies show love and affection. He was grooming it for an entire minute. I can’t get over it he’s such a sweet and loving little bunny.

ordered a taro milk tea with tapioca pearls and a milk cap and it was amazing! theres a shop right across the street from my apartment complex and its been so delicious both times i went :3 ive never had a milk cap before but it was salty and delicious and paired well with the sweetness. it was a lot heavier than the rest of the drink though so i probably wont get the milk cap every time
 
I've had such a wonderful week!!

-I started supplying (so it's not a full time job) at a child care centre in town and it has been so lovely. I was initially really worried to go back to working with kids and wasn't sure if I wanted to but it's been so much fun. Everybody is super nice and the kids are all adorable, I love them so much.

-Rune Factory 5 is going to have same sex marriage which is amazing!!!! I will 100% be buying the game now because I am so pleased that the developers decided to include it into the game. I was debating on buying it anyways but I wasn't sure if I would enjoy it - Rune Factory 4 has collected dust for a little bit because I want to marry Forte but can't, lol. I like the Rune Factory 4 bachelorettes a bit better but I'm still really excited nonetheless and maybe once I play the game and get to know the bachelorettes I'll like some of them better.

-The new Kirby game looks adorable I am so excited and I'm so excited for the animal crossing direct! I'm trying to keep my expectations realistic but I'm excited.
 
I've happy about a few things today:

- I slept pretty well again last night, but still wanted to sleep longer.

- The weather was nice again today, just a little on the chilly side.

- Because it got kind of cold in the house, we turned the heat on today and that felt nice and cozy.

- I was able to take things as they came again at work and not get too overwhelmed, even when we encountered a problem at 10 minutes til 5:00. I'm leaving it in other people's hands to fix it this weekend and if it's not right by Monday morning, we'll deal with it then.

- I treated myself to a mint chocolate Klondike bar for dessert tonight.

- It's Friday so I have the whole weekend ahead of me to relax and enjoy.
 
I was able to have another very laidback day today and keep myself focused on other things! ^^ I've been playing a lot of the Squad Celebration show in Fall Guys and it's been doing a really good job of keeping me distracted. Plus, I've really boosted my in-game savings a ton while doing so, so hey! And also thanks to this show I've gotten up to four wins in a row... Infallible feels so close and yet so far aaaaahhhh 🤞 Really hope they bring this show back eventually, whether I manage to get five wins in a row this time around or not; it's a lot of fun.
I also managed to get some more clothes and a DIY I was after in ACNH! I visited both my mom's and my aunt's islands, and that's always fun.
 
i’m exhausted and am definitely ready for bed, but today was a good day! it’ll probably always feel a bit weird to say that i’ve had a good day after everything that’s happened this week, but i feel calmer than i have in a while, and i think that’d make my grandmother happy. <3

zell moved onto my island in acnh!! i’m very happy to have him. ☺🖤
was itching to make some art this morning, so i drew brewster in honour of him coming to acnh in november!! it’s not my best work, but i’m still pretty proud of it!

my mom and i went to walmart after dinner, and i honestly had a really nice time! it felt so nice to be out and around other people again, and i also bought myself some new clothes and lil knickknacks! :’)
bought a new shirt! i’ll probably only ever wear it around the house lol, but i like it! it’s cute.

my mom and i also stopped by dairy queen on the way home, and i had a marshmallow milkshake for the first time since i was a kid! they removed it from their menu ages ago (hence why i haven’t had it in so long), so i’m really surprised that they made one for me, but i’m very happy and grateful that they did! it was delicious. ☺

this actually happened yesterday lol, but i finally have my entry idea for @/your local goomy’s art contest! i haven’t started on it yet, but i’m happy that i finally know what i’m doing aha.
 
I watched some more episodes of The A Team today, crafted some items and put down lights on my paths in my island.

I also got Xena: Warrior Princess this afternoon and I plan to watch it soon, maybe after I finish up A Team so I don’t have to switch between the shows.

I also read 3 light novels in the spawn of a few hours and plan to read more soon, so that made me happy.

I cleaned my room up, found some music I enjoy listening to and reorganized the area where I keep the shows I like/haven’t watched yet so that I can easily grab whatever shows I want right away.
 
Bought a new phone(oneplus nord n100 for interest), eventually. My iphone 6s was getting really soggy and the fact faff-apple still supports it are beyond my brain cause most app these days require a better phone, anyway. And the fact apple removed the alarm up next widget makes me mad af
 
I slept very good last night, so glad because the previous night I only got 2 hours.

Self-care group went well yesterday, we made these little worry dolls with some craft materials. I'm looking forward to our next group meeting at the end of October. We're probably going to do something Autumn themed.

I called 8 bingo games yesterday, I was sooo nervous, I'm a very quiet and shy person so it was definitely out of my comfort zone. But I did it!! and it went pretty well :)

Have the whole weekend to do whatever I want. I need to get some cleaning done in my apartment, having a clean place always makes me feel good. I'm also probably going to do a lot of reading and maybe playing some Zelda: BOTW.

I'm almost 5 days into my eating disorder recovery and I think I'm doing pretty well! I know it's still early, but I'm proud of myself :)

Edit: Oh yeah, and I'm super excited about Brewster coming back!!!
 
I found out last night that the local library is accepting employment interest applications for three different positions, one of which is most like what I did at the library I worked at in college. I'm just a bit worried about working a full time position (prob 30-35 hours a week) bc my autism makes it hard for me to work a lot for extended periods of time,I but it seems like a job I would really enjoy. I'm thinking of sending in an application for interest, hopefully if I do that they give me a full application to fill out.

I don't want to get my hopes up too much because there's always a chance they could reject me, but I'm super excited about the idea of working at the local library! I loved my old job and I think getting out and meeting people and learning new stuff about books and whatnot would be great for me.
