What Are You Happy About Today?

[Neb]

I got to attend classes in person for the first time in two years! I’m looking forward to finally making friends and improving my language skills during college.

One of my favourite artists of all time released a new song yesterday! (He’s local to me too which makes it even more special).

It’s called “Spit of You” by Sam Fender and it’s about the struggles of men talking to eachother, particularly with their dads. Such a good but emotional song!

It has been a more difficult week than usual.

Spoiler: Complaints

I am operating at like 70% capacity for daily tasks because my arm hurts and I am tired out quickly, which leaves no room for my favorite activities that require concentration (like art). I am also hosting two baby showers for moms that have different opinions from me on several matters, and I have to take care not to offend them. And my son is just not engaged in school.

But the outpouring of support from kind souls on this forum have been really motivating. Thanks to (in no particular order):
Dunquixote
JemAC
_Donut_
Roxxy

Just taking a moment to say something nice and checking in was just so thoughtful.

It's hard when people aren't open to and accepting of the fact that people have different opinions. It's good of you to take them into consideration as you plan your visits with them! Hope your arm feels better soon!

a new trailer for the diamond and pearl remakes dropped a few hours ago and it looks really nice! I'm still so excited that following Pokemon are returning. I think I might get the game on launch day!

also had to go out and get some black yarn and a few more groceries but I'm spending my day watching movies and cross-stitching, nice easy day ☺

I baked for the first time in quite a while! I wanted to get back into it as a hobby, so I made some lemon + blueberry muffins since they're my mum's favourite. We're gonna eat them while watching Bake Off since it's on later tonight lol.

I also had a nice long sleep (15 hours!!) and generally relaxed today after a tiring day at uni yesterday.

I got my monthly abilify injection at the mental health clinic then afterward had an appointment with my therapist. It was nice to see her in person again. She's happy I'm doing well. She showed me some pictures of these cats that were in a bookstore when she vacationed down south, there were like 4 or 5 cats that lounged around the store all the time inside. They are so cute, and she showed me a picture of her cat. She said she's also been catching and bringing some feral cats that have been in the mental health clinics parking lot area, and getting them to rescues to be taken care of and be adopted eventually since it's getting colder out. That makes me really happy since I LOVE cats, they're the best and I miss mine. I'm going to be getting a cat in couple months. I miss having a furry little friend around.

Had a good peanut butter banana chocolate smoothie today (a healthy version)

Plus in a little bit I'm going to relax and listen to the new episode of my favorite Animal Crossing podcast

I got my package today of some perfume that I ordered It's a perfume that I've wanted for a long time but never got around to purchasing until now and I'm really happy to have it. Also made Shepard's pie for dinner and it turned out well.

 

[xSuperMario64x]

I have a barbie doll which ive had for years, and I literally just now figured out which one it is specifically. It's a 1997 Avon exclusive Spring Tea Party doll! I've never been one to play with dolls but I absolutely love this one

too bad I never kept it in the original box...

I'm happy that this week's implementation went fine even though I made a mistake and forgot to upload the files before this weekend. Oops We had to run a special job on Monday to load the files, but everything looked good today. I'm just glad I caught my error in time.

I also got an incident out of my queue, so that made me happy too.

Tomorrow I only have to work for half of the day and then I get the afternoon off to go to my counseling and chiropractor appointments.

 

[Dunquixote]

Still feeling down and also my cat has another infection even though she just finished her antibiotic for her last one. There are a few things that made me happy:

Yesterday I was able to put in a big order for an art piece; very excited about that. ☺

Been chatting about Mario party Superstars with some friends and acquaintances on discord and am continuing to be excited about the new one coming out soon.

One of the cats that I am worried about came by today; I know they are eating since the bowl is empty every day and not knocked over. Did not run away when it saw me looking at it, so hopefully in time i will be able to get it and take it to vet to see if it has microchip and if it doesn’t belong to anyone, find it a new home or no kill shelter.

My mom came home today from my sister’s.

A couple of friends on here have been checking on me and it really meant a lot to me even though it wasn’t necessary for them to do. Thanks friends . Roxxy sent me a kitty picture a few times ☺.

• It took me a few days (thanks to procrastination) to finish Koopadude's OCs and I'm glad to have applied the small skills I gained in shading and a little bit of foreshortening. I appreciate the small compliment he gave me.
• Had a tasty lunch and felt full after.
• I went driving again to pick up my sister and mother while getting some gas as well. It feels weird doing all of this by myself without the company of my dad, but awesome at the same time since I AM capable of doing this. Yes, pretty much everyone who drives a car does these uneventful things. Yes, there's nothing to get excited about. But as a person who got their licence just over a week ago, I'm taking these minor accomplishments as small victories especially how the roads can sometimes be a warzone (exaggeration obviously, but some pickup trucks can be VERY impatient) and still getting home safely in one piece. Oh, and I'm still vibin' with video game music lol.
• Feel free to skip this point. While driving, I saw a Nissan Skyline R33 from a distance!
• Had a tasty dinner.
• Over the past few days, I've been watching Squid Game together with my mother and sister and the series is so good. It seems like a second season is already on its way in a couple years time. I will say, though, that it does get a little heavy, so viewer discretion is advised if you ever plan to watch it.

my first day of work was today and it went surprisingly well!!

 

[Xara]

today was another rough day, but it was thankfully slightly better than yesterday was, and some small things happened that made me happy. i’m also very grateful to everyone who’s checked up on me over the last week - this is definitely one of the hardest times of my life thus far, and it feels so isolating and awful, but it’s really nice to know that i’m not as alone as i feel, so thank you.

anyways, onto the things that made me happy today. :’)

❁ watched some nice videos on youtube and tiktok.
❁ read 2 new fanfics and enjoyed them!
❁ my mom picked me up some treats while she was out, including some of my favourite soda (voltage mountain dew)!
❁ had pizza for dinner and funnel sticks for dessert, both of which were delicious! my mom also ordered me some peach iced tea that i haven’t had in forever, so that made me really happy as well. :’)
❁ did 2 animal crossing trades, and both @Valzed and @Sin were kind enough to send me some extra tbt! tysm again, guys! <3
❁ obtained the red turnip collectible, which i’ve been wanting for a while now! ty again, @allybishop!

I have a barbie doll which ive had for years, and I literally just now figured out which one it is specifically. It's a 1997 Avon exclusive Spring Tea Party doll! I've never been one to play with dolls but I absolutely love this one

I’m finally starting to get set up at the new house and have access to everything again. My jobs are also going well and I don’t have any complaints with them so far. Lastly, I’ve just been in a better state of mind lately and don’t feel as bogged down as I did several weeks ago.

Was happy to see your name pop up after not seeing you around! Glad everything is going well for you.

Six more scrapbook pages done last night! Im starting to really enjoy making this and its getting easier for me and I'm able to make the pages so much faster now. I love making this so much that I think I'm going to need way more pages than are already in the book im using. I might end up making 30!

I was a bit worried about how it would turn out but its going so well I think he's really going to like it. My entire family was gushing over it which I think is a good sign : )

I cant wait to give it to him oh my goodness

• I had the energy to walk to CVS to pick up my meds.
• My deliveries came
• I had some coffee and chocolate hazelnut biscotti
• The maintenance person put my smoke detectors back up (they took them down because the batteries needed to be changed)
