- I didn't get too frustrated or stressed about anything at work today. I'm still not sure, but I think the stress vitamins may be helping.
- Despite it being overcast, it didn't rain the entire the time I was out today.
- I got my niece's birthday present shipped and it should arrive on her actual birthday.
- I had a good counseling session and my counselor recommended a topical for my back pain. I've ordered it, but now I have to wait until Friday to try it out.
- I went by the grocery store to pick up milk and they had Dr. Pepper in stock. They've been sold out for weeks, at least every time I went.
- They also had Boo Berry cereal in stock for Halloween, so I bought my husband a few boxes because it's his favorite.
Had a fantastic day! I got my sleep, did well at work, and then got to go to Aikido and practice Randori - multiple attack! Now I have a day off tomorrow from both of my jobs as well!!
⬥ A local gas station has baked flaming hot cheetos. I haven’t seen them around much. They used to have them as apart of school lunches at elementary school. In my opinion, the baked ones taste so much better than the regular. ⬥ I’m currently watching the NL Wild Card game. It is currently tied as I’m posting this. I’m hoping for a Dodgers victory. I’m a bit nervous, however, considering the history my team has versus the Cardinals during the postseason. ⬥ I’m happy that I currently have water. I’ve been craving water all day. Sometimes you don’t want anything to drink except water, so it’s nice to have when you need it. Fiji water is my favorite. ⬥ I am in the process of washing my blanket. I’ll be able to sleep with a clean and warm blanket after this game concludes. I hope I’ll be posting tomorrow with good news regarding the Wild Card game. I’ll keep my fingers crossed! ⬥ I’m seeing Keagan tomorrow morning. I love spending time with him. My dad also picked him up some dog ice cream.
today wasn’t all that exciting or interesting, but it was still a fairly decent day! i’m not sure if it’s because i’m back on my meds or what, but i’m slowly starting to feel better mentally and less depressed, which is a huge relief! i’m so happy to be feeling a bit better, at least for right now.
❁ obtained the 3 new spooky diys from my villagers in acnh!! i’ve had every diy for a while now, so it was really nice to finally have a few new ones to hunt for! :’) ❁ discovered another new favourite song! ❁ my mom was kind enough to pick me up a few things while she was out, including some more peach iced tea and some meds that i needed! ❁ found out that the acnh direct will be taking place on october 15th! i’m so excited!! ❁ my kitty took a nap in my room for the first time since she got injured. she wasn’t happy about not being able to go in my closet or up on my bed, but it was still nice to have her in here. :’) ❁ read a new fanfic and loved it! it might even be a new favourite of mine. ❁ tidied up my room a bit. ❁ this actually happened yesterday lol, but i’ve added a new squishmallow to my collection!!
meet holly the owl, who actually used to belong to my grandmother; my mom bought it for her birthday either last year or the year before. it feels bittersweet to now have her, but she’s very adorable, and i’ll take good care of her.
semi-eventful day today. only real downsides were the writer's block and the panic attack i had this morning. (was considering trying to go back to the doctor to get put on new meds for my depression/anxiety but, if it wasn't obvious, i'm too scared to go lmao. guess i'll die.)
❁ my mug arrived today! sort of a bittersweet thing, really, since it's to replace the one that went missing. i'm 99% sure someone broke it and threw away the evidence, but they won't own up to it -- probably so they don't have to cough up the £11 i had to pay to replace it. ❁ the tickets arrived for the concert my girlfriend and i are going to next sunday! ❁ went out shopping and bought myself two funko pops that i lowkey really wanted. (they were 50s and halloween wanda for those curious.) i also bought the same two for my girlfriend as part of her birthday present since she actually watched and likes wandavision and also because the funko pops for the show have been, like... non-existent in the UK? this is the first time i've seen any of them in the wild, so i had to grab them. ❁ decided to try picking up my journal again but with a simpler, less time-consuming layout this time. it's now monthly/weekly spreads, so i don't have to worry about making it look pretty every day. i did manage to keep it up for a while last time, but it was super draining, and the fact that i only did around five things a day on average meant there was too much empty space to fill each time rip. ❁ completed the fourth prompt for (written) inktober. really liked how it turned out. currently working on the fifth right now! ❁ bought some stickers for the aforementioned journal. i have plenty already, but none of them are really... speaking to me? and i also need some smaller ones to fill in the blank spaces. (mostly putting this here to try and convince myself it wasn't a waste of money lmao.) ❁ october 15th is a busy day. first the NH direct is announced, and now the final season of buzzeed unsolved supernatural! i almost feel spoiled.
-I got to work on my island a little more today! I've got some more of an area's layout figured out now, so hopefully I can get to work on decorating it next!
-Got some Halloween candy on a grocery run! Reeses Take 5's are almost too good. Also got some cinnamon mints/gum since I've been craving cinnamon lately.
-Had sauerkraut for dinner! The kind my family got is very much on the spicy side, but it was so good that I could look past the pain, and I'm not normally that into spicy foods. 10/10, would eat to the point of tears.
I had a good appointment with my psychiatrist. She is increasing my mood stabilizer to help with my manic episode.
I'm enjoying a cup of coffee with some pumpkin spice creamer
I'm buying a new ukulele . I already have a soprano ukulele (the smallest one) but I wanted to get a tenor since it's about guitar sized, so I am ordering a tenor ukulele. Tenors are better for playing fingerstyle (my favorite way to play) while sopranos are better for strumming
Just ate an everything bagel w/ cream cheese and it was really delicious
Been struggling with the work load at uni a little (so much work n not enough time to complete it D: ) so I took myself to the local park and fed some peanuts to the cute ducks and geese that live there, and read a book for a little while. Honestly, it was so relaxing and made me appreciate just how beautiful nature is!
made some super delicious fresh veggie juice with lemon, kale, cucumber, apple, and celery :3 ill probably add more kale and a little more ice next time though. the drink surprisingly tasted like lemons and apples despite all of the vegetables
also i finally have a free day where i dont feel like im dying from stress lol gonna get back to work on some commissions for a few very patient people (thank you all ) and hopefully be able to participate in inktober with everyone in the museum soon!
in my dream last night i got a message saying i was being kicked out of the group inktober thread for non participation im glad that didnt actually happen lol
I'm happy that I finished my work week a day early by working 5 days in 4, so now I get to enjoy a 4-day weekend! On top of that, I'm looking forward to picking up Metroid Dread tomorrow! And in addition to that, I'm also looking forward to the NHL regular season starting on Tuesday!
Happy because I’m feeling a lot more clean now after a shower and my hair is slowly getting back to normal. Decided to keep the bangs after all, so I’m trying my best to get my hair back into position with the part in the middle and the bangs nice and neat and fluffed up. I was gonna grow the bangs out and try to part my hair on the side, but it just wasn’t working out too well, but to be honest I’m glad I gave up. My hair feels normal now that I put it back into place and that’s all I could ever ask for.
