What Are You Happy About Today?

I'm feeling pretty happy about a few things today:

- I only worked a half day and had the whole afternoon off.

- Work went by pretty quickly because I literally had meetings all morning.

- I had a good visit with my counselor this afternoon. It's only my third session so we just started digging into some deeper stuff and it felt like a relief to get it out there.

- The weather was very nice and I didn't have to rush to my appointments so I got to enjoy the day.

- I had a very good dinner. It was first time trying paella and I loved it.
 
I finished my first cross stitch! it was really hard bc it's microscopic lmao but it turned out really cute! next one should be easier since it's a lower thread count (thus larger and more spaced out holes) :3

in case you're wondering, Alex is the name of the fox plush I just got recently, named after one of my best friends <3

here it is compared with a cross stitch my mom did for me a while ago, just to show how small it is (the fox is like 2" tall)

  • I had a good appointment with my primary care doctor today. He's prescribing a couple of meds I needed. My blood pressure is really good, heart rate was high but that's because I get nervous in appointments. I have a follow-up with him in 4 weeks.
  • While I was there they asked if I wanted the flu shot and I said yes so I got that
  • I'm looking forward to sleeping tonight because I have been up since yesterday morning 😭

Galarian Pokedex completed.

Ironically, this was actually harder than catching that shiny Metagross because all I had to do for the latter was refresh other people's Max Raid invites on the Y-Comm.

For the Pokedex completion, I had to:
1) Turn my Switch upside down AFTER taking it outta my dock just to evolve Inkay
2) Find a rainy spot to evolve Sliggoo
3) Get that dumb Galarian Farfetch'd to hit critical hits three times in a single battle
4) Grind for ice stones to evolve the Galarian Darumaka because I've already used my one Ice Stone on Iceon- I meant Glaceon
5) Speaking of Glaceon, make friends with all my Eevees who evolve through friendship by camping and cooking with them... because I forgot that you could literally increase friendship with berries (not to mention setting the correct time to get Umbreon/Espeon)
6) Get Galarian Yamask to survive a 49 HP attack under a specific bridge in the Wild Area
7) Do a dumb pose spinning around to evolve Milcery
8) Oh, and let's not forget... more than TEN trade evolutions that wouldn't have been possible if not for a friend over at Reddit r/CasualPokemonTrades. lmao

So yeah, definitely much harder than just sitting my butt down and waiting for a shiny Metagross.

Will I bother completing Isle of Armor/Crown Tundra Pokedex? That's up in the air, considering that after the last time I completed my Pokedex in Let's Go Pikachu, my Let's Go Eevee was left abandoned and unplayed, so who knows? lol Like I said, I get bored easily, I lose interest easily, so this might very well be sayonara goodbye for Pokémon until November Diamond/Pearl remakes (which I'm not looking forward to)...

...which is great news, because thank god, that means I get to finally have an excuse to take a break from Switch. Time to fire up my HBO Max and Netflix.
 
I forgot to note a few things that made me happy yesterday:

- While walking our dog in the afternoon, we saw a turtle just chilling next to the sidewalk near some underbrush.
- When I went to my counseling appointment, I saw two dogs outside, one as I was entering and one when I was leaving.

Things I'm happy about today:

- I had a bunch of meetings but an otherwise relatively easy day of work.
- My back is starting to feel a little better today.
- Tomorrow is Friday!

My doctor's appointment went really well today! ;v; I've been super worried about it, but everything looks normal, and while I've still gotta wait about a week for some test results, the doctor isn't expecting anything unusual to come up there, so WHEW. I was also a little concerned about the social anxiety aspect of it, but I held it together and did really well, I think!
-Treated myself to some otome artbooks/fanbooks! Some were cheaper than I expected and so I was able to order most of the ones on my wishlist. ^^ The delivery times are pretty spread out over the next couple months, but I actually consider that a plus—it gives me some more stuff to look forward to! One could actually arrive as early as tomorrow, though, which would be very very cool if it works out!!
-My mom baked some chocolate chip pecan cookies!
-Got to watch etellan's part of the alien space crew custom doll collab! There were a ton of little details and intricate work put into it, and it really turned out beautifully!
-Not just today exactly, but one of my favorite Youtubers/Twitch streamers, Dannydinosaur, has been villager hunting for Stella a lot this week! It's been a very welcome distraction from all the stress I was having over my appointment, and I really enjoyed tonight's stream as well.

Aww I love him!!! He's so cute!! 🤩😍 well done!
 
I’m feeling a little better today in some ways, though still feeling down and got some other stuff going on. I am happy today I was able to start drawing something for Goomy’s art contest (I know I won’t win but need to push myself to continue drawing and improving my art). I decided to wait to do the other drawing since I have no deadline for that.

That’s it for today. Hopefully I’ll continue feeling better bit by bit.
 
Today was more eventful than happy, but some good things happened today.

⬥ My two favorite hockey teams won their preseason games today. The Los Angeles Kings played their game in Utah today and won. The Nashville Predators, who I have a soft spot for, beat the defending Stanley Cup champs in convincing fashion!
⬥ I posted on the “What’s bothering you?” thread about my fake phone charging block and cord. The seller was likely unaware that the products were fake, but they immediately issued a refund for the inconvenience. Thankfully, I have another charger and adapter that still works. I’m impressed with the customer service of some of these sellers.
⬥ I got to spend time with my dog today. Keagan started barking as soon as he heard my dad’s car. He knows the sound of it, and he got excited. Keagan is a very smart dog.
 
  • I'm ordering a beautiful Celtic cross necklace
  • It's officially October, yay!!!! Halloween month. The weather is cooling off. There's only 2 weeks until a new movie in my favorite horror series is released. It's being released in theaters and on a streaming service so you can choose how you want to watch it considering the pandemic, I'm going to watch it via the streaming service subscription, in the comfort of my own apartment, with snacks :D It cost a lot less than a ticket to the theater.
  • I finally got sleep after being up for 42 hours straight
  • I might pick up some pizza and cheesecake for takeout later from the pizza place across the street :)
 
I have many things to be happy about recently and I’m not used to that lmao

My husband’s foot has healed nicely from the surgery and he can walk normally again 🥰 🥰 🥰

Yesterday we went food shopping and I found a Harry Potter mug to add to my small but growing mug collection.

It’s officially October! 🎃 The season of the witch 💜 The last few days have been gloomy and rainy and I am living for it. I hate summer with a passion.

Britney Spears is finally free from her conservatorship and her father’s control. I hope everyone involved rots in prison.

Today I successfully ported a mod from the old version of Skyrim (Oldrim) to new Skyrim. I was so happy when my game loaded and the mod was functioning as it should. Some of my favourite houses were never ported over but now I can do them myself, yay! 😊
 
So many things to be happy about today!

- Went to work today and got to see some of my favorite coworkers c:
- My mom brought me McDonalds! :3
- Had a nice dream before I woke up!
- Had biscuits and gravy for lunch before work! Yum uwu
- Drinking coffee rn (yes I know it's like 7pm but idc >w>)
- Played Animal Crossing for a bit and I'm sloooooowly working on my island xD
