What Are You Happy About Today?

I had a Mango Dragonfruit refresher from Starbucks today.
My dad got a new car today and I really like it! The blue color is amazing. The only sad part is Keagan won’t know the sound of it. He won’t be able to bark when I come see him.

I am going to see Keagan tomorrow morning and take him for a walk. I’m hoping he learns the sound of the new car very soon!
 
Worked six hours yesterday, then didn’t sleep and worked 11 hours today. All the while no one asking me how I felt or anything, but I just kept trucking along like a machine, and I could have kept going too. I work another 11 hours tomorrow. :]
 
Today I'm happy because:

- It's Friday and I get to enjoy the weekend.
- I had a relatively easy day of work and I got to leave early for a chiropractor appointment.
- My back is slowly starting to heal since I bathed my dog about 2 weeks ago.
- I saw a cute squirrel in the front yard earlier today while walking my dog.
 
-The weather is finally starting to cool down a little over here, and spooky season has officially begun!! 🎃 I love this time of year!
-I'm almost through with my entry for goomy's contest!! I've had a lot going on and it's taken me a while, but after yesterday's good news things have really started to clear up for me, and I'm hoping to have it wrapped up shortly! ( ・∀・)b
-Got to work on my ACNH island some today! I've started some serious terraforming/planning work on a few areas, so hopefully sometime soon I'll have something new to show for my currently somewhat neglected island journal. Also collected a couple of the spooky DIYs, and the blue rose wreath DIY!
-Had some really lovely vegetable stew for dinner!
-The Code: Realize artbook I ordered did arrive late this afternoon!! I am so thrilled with it—there's so much gorgeous and hard-to-find artwork in there in really great quality, not to mention all the art from the game that's included as well. ;v; I'm especially happy that there was some official art in there that I'd never seen before, including some of one of my two C:R favorites, Lupin!!
 
I got my hair cut! I only get it done when something major happens in my life.. lol I start my new job on October 11th. I got about 3 inches cut off.. not sure.. but it's still down to my belly button!

Plus as a light snack I get to eat dehydrated mango! That I made myself. :love:
 
Had a pleasant conversation with someone anonymous on the Internet... which is about as rare as you can get, a nice, anonymous stranger on some obscure website where people often troll each other (I won't name the site, but it's pretty bad).

We were complaining about food services, specifically fast food chains in America and how bad their service is. I'm glad to know someone else shares my principles on quality customer service.
 
I visited my friends on their boat last night and we all had a good time! It had been a while since I'd seen them lol. Also found out my friend and I are both in university on wednesdays, so we can meet up before and after our classes,,

The halloween event also started on one of my fav online games today! ☺ I'm hyped for it every year!
 
I am scheduled a full five days this week at my job. I want to work as much as possible during this month. That will be helpful to me moving forward. The extra work hours, in addition to my side hustle, the income is looking promising.
The outcome I strongly desired for an afternoon baseball game came true. I’ll see if the baseball gods are with me tonight as well.
I got around to ordering my travel blanket. It was basically free, but I had to pay for shipping costs. I’m aware that I am in a warm climate, but I always sleep with something around me. You really cannot beat $7 for a fleece blanket.
The blanket is small enough and easy to travel with.
I deleted my Facebook account. The negativity was too much for me. I’ll just stick to forums.
 
Today I'm happy because:

- It's Saturday, which meant no work and I got to sleep late.
- I had a pretty good day hanging out at home with my husband and my dog.
- After dinner, we went to Dairy Queen and got Blizzards. It's been over a year since I last treated myself to a Blizzard.
 
haven’t posted in here in a few days since things have been really rough for me, but i think i’m ready to try and start posting again. thank you everyone for the support and for checking in; i’m not the most fun to converse with rn lol, but i really do appreciate all of you. 🖤

wednesday (09/29)
finally finished watching s3 of sex education! i wasn’t sure if i was going to like this season or not as the trailer didn’t interest me much tbh, but i actually really liked it! it was very entertaining and made me laugh a lot. here’s hoping it gets renewed for a fourth season! 🤞🏻
tidied up my room a bit.
had harvey’s for dinner! it was delicious.
a new chapter of one of the fanfics i’m reading was published, and it was really good! i’m sad that the next chapter is the last one, but i’m enjoying the story a lot and am glad that i started reading it!

thursday (09/30)
had subway for lunch and it was delicious! my mom also bought me two of their chocolate chunk cookies, which were also good. :’)
watched some really funny tiktok videos! one of them even made me laugh to the point of tears lol.

friday (10/01)
it’s officially the start of spooky season! i don’t really celebrate halloween much anymore besides buying discounted halloween candy next month LOL, but i’m very excited for the gorgeousness that is autumn and for the temperature to drop even more! i also think that i’m going to attempt to make a spooky avatar for myself this year, which i’m excited about as well! i have my idea already; i just need to get started. :’D 🎃
one of my favourite fanfic writers posted a few snippets of upcoming stories of theirs, and i’m so excited to read them all in full whenever they’re published! they’re such a talented writer and all of their stories are just *chefs kiss*.
did an animal crossing trade.
read 2 new fanfics and they were both incredible!
my mom picked me up some more peach iced tea and reese’s pretzels while she was out. <3

today (10/02)
tidied up my room a bit.
completed my first squishmallow drawing! now that i’ve officially begun to collect them, i’ve decided that i want to try and draw the 5 that i currently have, as well as any future ones that i get! i drew sunny the bee for @/The Pennifer’s giveaway, and while i’ll probably redo the drawing at some point, i think it turned out pretty decent!

ordered from chuck’s roadhouse for dinner! this was my first time ordering from them, and i’m pleased to report that my meal was quite delicious! i’m totally down to order from there again in the future!
did an animal crossing trade and @/Khte was kind enough to send an extra tbt! if you see this, thank you again! <3
 
-Watched Dolllynx's part of the alien space crew doll collab—and that's the whole series finished! This doll had a ton of interesting modifications, and it was really cool how the scale texture was done! This collab was really fun to catch up on. I guess I've gotta find something else to watch now though ahahah.
-Got some more work done on my art for goomy!
-Got a ton of work done on my ACNH island, and collected a couple more of the Halloween DIYs!
-Found a lot of art of some of my faves! None of it new exactly, but certainly in higher quality, which I'm always happy to find.
 
Today was very rough, but I was happy about a few things. (10/2/2021)

- Got a package in the mail! Two new lipglosses, a ring, and an evil-eye bracelet! The seller also included a free item I didn't buy :0
- My little brother brought me coffee because I was having a reaaaally bad day!
- Got to talk to two of my former coworkers about finding another job. It was very refreshing and I'm so glad to have such a nice support system ;w;
- I have the next two days off. Very much needed as I kinda need a step back from my job. It's taking a huuuge toll on my mental health currently.
- Talked to my favorite coworker and just enjoyed his company!
- Playing Animal Crossing made my day a bit better! I'm happy to have healthy coping skills.
 
I worked 11 hours again today and I’m looking forward to receiving some fat paychecks soon… it’s also October and the month of birthdays for two of the most important people in my life. I don’t know where I would be right now without them, so I’m going to have fun figuring out what to get them. :)
 
scored fourth place at our first marching comp of the season B)
we also scored the highest our school has ever gotten for our first comp especially since we moved up a division so it was harder. i also did a lot better than i thought i would (only ran into one person at a very reasonable part of our show)
so thats fun =)
 
I think I’m making good progress on the drawing I’m doing for Goomy’s contest. I had a couple of scares earlier that I messed up my drawing but I think even with the smears that I can make it still work (it was going to smear no matter what anyways). I am a little worried though; I decided to try doing some of the background and that is going to take a good amount of time.

I’m happy that me and @TheSillyPuppy officially started our accountability partnership! I think this helps cement my commitment to continuing drawing and improving my skill ☺️.

@LittleMissPanda ‘s froggy poem and the song she posted in a thread also made me smile today. Her stories, art and enthusiastic responses in threads always are a delight to read and see ☺️.

My parents are home now :).

Feeling happier today overall in spite a few things stressing me a little. ☺️
