What Are You Happy About Today?

I'm happy about a few things today:

- I completed all of the most important work I had to do today. I was worried because meetings kept running long or getting added to my calendar at the last minute, so it was hard to find time to accomplish anything.
- I saw a bunny hopping across the back yard while I was working.
- I went by my mom's apartment to check on her mail and got to see her cat. I didn't get to stay long, but he was acting very loving and playful. It was nice to see him like that since he's been so ill lately. I hope it means he's recovering.
- I went to the chiropractor and had a really nice, hour-long massage that has helped relieve some of my back pain.
- The chiropractor gave me some Stress B Complex vitamins to help with all the stress I'm under since she believes that's the main source of my pain.
- I started taking the vitamins tonight and I don't know if it's the pills or the placebo affect, but I'm already feeling a bit better.
 
fell asleep last night before i could post. 😅

yesterday (10/03)
drew some more art for @/The Pennifer’s giveaway! i’ll probably redo the drawing of flick at some point, but i’m quite proud of the lil bee i drew and the cornimer drawing!

tried strawberry lemonade iced tea for the first time; it was delicious and very refreshing!
my mom picked me up a strawberry/banana smoothie while she was out grocery shopping, which was also delicious and very kind of her. <3
found out some new information about the ayer cut of suicide squad (2016), such as never-seen-before photos and deleted scene scripts! i’m not sure if the movie itself will ever get released one day, so i’ll take all the info i can get. it’s very interesting to see what the movie could’ve been like if warner bros hadn’t changed things.
began playing acnh again after taking a slight hiatus! it’ll probably take me a while to catch up to present time, but i’ll get there. :’)

today (10/04)
was able to attend my visual arts class this morning! this was my first time going due to everything that’s going on in my personal life, but i was able to have a nice chat with my teacher and am proud of myself for going. ☺
my mom bought me some chocolate milk!
resumed taking my antidepressants. i honestly shouldn’t of stopped taking them in the first place, but i feel good about being back on them. here’s hoping they can help my mental state a bit while i wait to be able to start therapy. 🙏🏻
did some stuff that i didn’t feel up to doing, such as taking care of myself and tidying up my room a bit.
s4 of on my block released today! i haven’t begun watching it yet, but i’m excited to do so! :’)
got 2x nook points.
 
hope you don't mind that i stole your little flower bullet points, xara. they're just really cute!
get to post here again since i actually ~existed~ today.

made a bunch of cute picrews last night. those are always fun. i have too many of them saved lmao.
went shopping with my family. i wouldn't say it made me happy, but i could've very easily said no (and almost did), so i'm proud of myself for actually going.
it also meant i got to buy birthday presents for my girlfriend! it isn't actually until the 22nd, but it's better than rushing for something at the last minute.
managed to continue with
(written) inktober. still a day behind, of course, but at least i did it. this piece was slightly longer than yesterday's at 1.3k, although i don't like it as much. it's still good though! i also have an idea for day four's prompt now, so hopefully it won't be as daunting to tackle when i attempt it tomorrow.
 
I finished my entry for Goomy’s contest ☺️.

Tomorrow morning, someone I watch stream games is streaming something. So happy since it’s been about a month or so since he last had a gaming stream ☺️.

I’m getting a new phone tomorrow; feeling neutral about getting a new phone overall but happy because my phone has been annoying me going on and off charge any time i move it while charging it.

I just finished getting all the rewards that I wanted from an event in a gacha game so I can now take it easy.

I got an item in pocket camp today that I wanted from a fortunate cookie. I have enough to buy another one; still debating if I want to buy another one or not.
 
My sister had her baby so I'm officially an aunt now 😇 I've never been very interested in kids but my mom and sister are so excited I think their excitement is rubbing off on me lol it will be fun to have a little one in the family to spoil.

On the work side of things I'm getting trained on how to work mornings at my job which I'm happy about so I won't have to work evenings all the time.
 
shes letting us out of the lease, shes letting us out of the lease, shes letting us out of the lease! 🥳🥳🥳 *intense breakdancing* thank goodness bc im tired of dealing with all this lol

So happy for you! 💜

Today wasn’t eventful aside from the stream but was still good. I enjoyed the stream and chatting with my friends. :)

Only bad thing is i kept falling asleep without my mouth guard in afterwards and now my jaw is hurting really bad even after taking a pain pill.

Decided to get my new phone on Friday instead since i just was way too tired after the stream.
 
A few things I'm happy about today:

- I watched a squirrel and some crows in the backyard while I was working.
- I got through all of the work I intended to do today.
- I was really stressed this morning, but I took my Stress Vitamins at lunch and felt a bit better in the afternoon.
- I finished packing my niece's birthday gift, so I can ship it out tomorrow.
- I have a counseling appointment tomorrow afternoon, so I get to leave work for a few hours.
- I had a really good cheeseburger and fries for dinner.
 
posting this a bit earlier than usual just in case i fall asleep lol, but today was the best day i’ve had in a while. i’m still struggling a lot and am exhausted mentally and physically, but i feel a bit better today and less weighed down. :’)

chatted with a few friends and mutuals today, which always makes me happy! <3
continued getting caught up in acnh.
managed to contribute to a few tbt threads! i haven’t been posting much due to everything that’s going on with me, so i’m really happy that i was able to do a bit of posting today!
a new chapter of one of the fanfics i’ve been reading was published!! the last chapter for this story was published in early july, so seeing that there was a new one to read today was a very pleasant surprise! the new chapter was great as well. :’)
found a new favourite song!
read a new fanfic and enjoyed it!
had burger king for dinner.
found out that i only need to catch 43 more fish to 100% complete the “angling for perfection!” nm achievement in acnh!

hope you don't mind that i stole your little flower bullet points, xara. they're just really cute!

i don’t mind at all! 💜

shes letting us out of the lease, shes letting us out of the lease, shes letting us out of the lease! 🥳🥳🥳 *intense breakdancing* thank goodness bc im tired of dealing with all this lol

omg i’m so happy to hear this!! i know i haven’t commented on this situation, but i’ve read all of your posts about it in the “what’s bothering you?” thread, and i am so, so happy that she’s letting you guys out of the lease! i can’t even imagine just how awful this situation must’ve been for you guys, so i’m so relieved that it’s almost over! you definitely deserve some peace after all of this mess; please take care of yourself, friend. 🧡
 
Happy today because the weather is now cool and no longer warm or hot. Fall is definitely here, so yes! Also, I preordered Pokémon Shining Pearl and Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Gonna be starting fresh on my Switch today and just play the games that I want to play right now. So I started up a new, no time traveling island on my New Horizons game today. 😊
 
Feeling productive because I started on my first essay for uni ;) I've managed to get the introduction mostly done, and I've planned out a lot of the main body. It's due on the 22nd so I'm happy I gave myself time to edit and revise it rather than starting it last minute.
 
Today was kind of busy and I'm hungry but it's late and I want to go to bed so I can have breakfast sooner but I did manage to work in some time in ACNH! I was able to get all the spooky DIYs from villagers/balloons, and in placing some items around to try and clear up some storage space, I got my island rating up to four stars!! I also found some nice new art of a couple of my faves, and finished off the last of the cookies my mom made last week!
 
I’ve finally had some time to chill again today and thanks to doing that for the past several days it has helped alleviate some of my stress and remind me of who I am as a person. Even though the world can be ugly at times, so too must there be beauty in it. :giggle:
 
I was finally able to pick up some canker sore cream. All I had was cold sore cream, but that’s only for external use. It’s a relief because I needed some.
I have a shorter work day tomorrow for five hours. I finish work at 9:00 PM, so I will be off in time to watch the NL Wild Card. I’m hoping for a very specific result in this one, obviously.
A few boxes came for me in the mail today for eBay purposes. They are usually quick in mailing out the free shipping supplies.
I love the way Keagan looks at me.

I've got an interview tomorrow for a job that seems rather promising! Also, I'm really excited and looking forward to the AC Direct, now that it's been announced to stream on the 15th~ 🥰

Edit: The job wasn't nearly as promising as I thought it would be, so I turned it down.
