What Are You Happy About Today?

Had a small birthday party for my mom today! She wanted to keep it a pretty much normal day, but she did want to binge-watch some more One Piece! We're not quite caught up with where the anime's currently at yet, but the end is finally in sight—only about 20 episodes to go. I think I'm gonna try to talk my parents into watching some more over the coming days and try to get us caught up before too many more episodes air, hehe.

Ooh that is so exciting! That is so awesome your mom likes One Piece!

Also, late congrats on your art piece for goomy’s! Been really enjoying see your art since the camping even
I got to go to a glass workshop and create stuff from melted glass. Those furnaces are really loud and hot. It's like looking into a void of hell. I never did that before and it was kind of cool!


Glad you were able to get rested! I don't have it happen always, but when it does (especially when work is the next day and I need to get up at 3am it's a horrible feeling)

It's always great to declutter. Last year during covid (and after long work shifts) I just got so fed up with how much of a catch all that my basement had become by me and people just jettisoning their crap in my house that I started to throw away, destroy, and put stuff out on my yard for free. It was so surprising that people were picking up half pieces of furniture sets. It's still not up to my standards yet, but there's so much room to move. I know that feeling and good job being able to send it somewhere for someone to use!

I actually went to a place like the Good Will to search and buy some VHS tapes for a project I am working on. Not for collecting. I didn't expect them to have any, but they had a few.


Always great to be able to recharge your batteries! And I hope you had a great time with your friend! Covid and just overall how crazy it has been these past 2 years has made common and daily plans/activities seem so out of the norm.

@Alienfish and @hakutaku Those meals sound amazing. I mean it doesn't take much with me for food as it is anyway, but they still sound super great. I haven't had it recently, but my great something ancestor had an old recipe (someone in my family has the original card) for sour beef and dumplings. The entire process takes like 8 hours lol, but the stuff tastes really darn good.

That sounds awesome! What was the Greek dish? I went to a diner recently that had some Greek meals on their menu. Like one of them was potato crusted salmon. I don't know if that is Greek or not, but they claimed it to be. It sounded pretty good, but was way too expensive for my poor butt blood lol. Glad you had a good time and meal!


Hey getting an extra heavy paycheck is always a bonus. I know sometimes I would rather have off to do stuff that needs getting done or that I want to do, but those overtime paychecks are hard to resist sometimes lol.

@Dunquixote That sounds really good! Was it a pegged pie or did it have a crumb topping? I made a few blueberry and apple pies from the trees and bushes I picked from this year. Picking blueberries can be such a time consuming pain though because they don't exactly all ripen at the same time so you have to go back every day or so to get the remainder. And there are like thousands on each bush lol.

Glad you've been having good moments and some tasty desserts!

@xara Do you just like conk out on the keyboard before typing? (I'm kidding) I didn't know that McDonald's had donuts. Is that a new thing? I haven't been there in a while. I kind of want to try them just to experiment and see how good they are. I'm glad your cat is doing better! I actually didn't know anything was wrong, but regardless that they are recovering from whatever is good news still! I'm sorry you and your cat had to go through that.


That's really cool that you have that kind of hobby you can share with your mom! I do that a lot with my sister, except it's with the Marvel movies whenever they come out.

This is what it looks like

I’m glad to hear you’re doing well and did something interesting/fun ☺️.
 
~ October 17th, 2021 ~
  • Today I went to work. Before I went to work, I got a pumpkin spice iced coffee from McDonalds!
  • Got to see my favorite coworker today, now office-clerk, I guess.. >w> Still a bit salty he got promoted way before I even got a promotion or raise, but I love him to death 'n he's my absolute FAVORITE person to work with!
  • Went to a local farm shop and got lots of goodies w/ my mom! I got some apple cider, chocolate milk, peach jam, and a mini pumpkin roll! It all looks so yummy T^T
  • Listened to some music and talked to a coworker I'm not too familiar with while on my break. Today was a pretty eventful day!
  • My sister came over for dinner! I missed her so much ;w; It's always nice seeing her!
 
My mom agreed to get me the new amiibo series cards when they come out and just save them for christmas. I was worried about missing out on them. of course i have to show her what they look like since she doesn’t know what I’m talking about aside from the fact they’re the cards I’ve been collecting.

That’s it for today. My cat’s condition took a turn for the worse so today was not a good day. Will see how she is tomorrow. 💔🤞🍀
 
I recently discovered some new songs that I like. They aren’t necessarily new but they are new to me.
I had McDonald’s after work. The fries were fresh which was surprising considering the time of night. The cheeseburger was pretty good, as well.
I am visiting Keagan tomorrow and taking him for a walk. He is so loyal. He would walk without a leash if he could. He would just follow me. He’s just super obedient. I love my chocolate buddy.


I’m so sorry your cat is getting worse. I hope things improve, but it goes to show you can’t take those memories for granted. Cherish the time you do have. I hope you’re okay.
 
Today I'm happy because:

- I got to sleep late.
- I had a relaxing day at home.
- Both my favorite football team and my husband's won today.

My cat’s condition took a turn for the worse so today was not a good day. Will see how she is tomorrow. 💔🤞🍀
I'm so, so sorry to hear that. I'm hoping she will have more good days to come.

Thank you so much both of you. 💜 My mom wants to get her in the vet asap tomorrow but I’m hoping she’ll wait longer to see if she feels better tomorrow; problem is they close kinda early.

I’m glad both of you are doing well ☺️.

One more piece of good news: I received my finished artwork from @Snowifer and I really love it ☺️. Will share it along with other commissions I had done sometime hopefully soon in my journal. First, once I get back to feeling good, I want to try drawing a little banner for the entry rather than put something together on my computer. :) I really need to get back to drawing; still haven’t had the energy to draw or do much. I still owe a friend a drawing too.

In spite what is going on with my cat, got a lot to look forward to with this new update in AC. I am really overwhelmed by how much stuff there is to look forward to. Fingers crossed that I’ll have enough money left from mario party to get the dlc.
 
I got my Halloween costume figured out 😁 I still might get a second costume but I'm glad to have something sorted! Also went grocery shopping after work and some steaks were on a sale for a really good price, so my partner made them for dinner at it was delicious.
 
Visited my cousin over the weekend for her son’s birthday and it was pretty nice. I enjoyed myself seeing everyone again after sometime from not seeing them. Got to eat at my favorite place today and got some candy before returning home.

I might plan to start my first ever Nuzlocke tomorrow after resting up tonight and see how that goes.

I also finished a manga today after leaving it half finished before. It was pretty good to say the least.
 
I started new leaf today and really like it.
I have a great spouse.
Decided to attempt to socialize online today even though I suck at socializing.
Autumn is here which is a favorite season of mine. It was that autumn chill this morning.
An old friend that exchanges emails on our project dreams.
Alot of things when you take a moment to reflect. A practice I do daily.
 
ya’ll know the drill — i fell asleep before i could post again lmao, but yesterday was a pretty decent day! ^_^

seeing some new and returning ac characters rotating in tbt’s banner made me smile. :’)
tidied up my room a bit.
read a new fanfic and enjoyed it! i truthfully haven’t been doing much reading lately, so i’m glad to be slowly getting back into it!
did 3 animal crossing trades.
my kitty had no coughing fits. <3

LOL i don’t even get that far tbh. i try to post late at night so that i don’t miss anything and have to edit my post/post again, which clearly isn’t working out for me since i keep laying down an hour or so before i normally post like, “oh, i won’t fall asleep, it’ll be fine!” and then i just... fall asleep. 😆

yeah, the donuts are pretty new! i’m not sure of their exact release date, but i think they came out over the summer. they’re actually pretty good, so i definitely recommend trying at least one if you want to or if you get the chance!

and thank you! 💜
 
I do in fact have insurance again! I've started looking for CBT around me and am trying to make more positive changes.
It's hard & I'm not always 100%, but I'm actively working on myself again. I feel good about it.

p.s. the new character banners/gyroids make me very happy they are v cute.
 
  • I'm getting a cat very soon!!! Like by next month. I miss having a cat, especially since mine passed away a couple years ago. The person who has the kittens is sending me pics of all of them so I can pick which one I want, I'm so excited! :D
  • My care manager is going to help me get into the social security ticket-to-work program so I can get a part-time job
  • I'm enjoying some cherry Coke right now and pizza
  • It's 50 degrees outside right now so pretty chilly, I love it, it feels like fall
  • I picked up my library requests today
