What Are You Happy About Today?

  • I got my bloodwork done this morning, then I had an appointment with my doctor and he said everything looks good, so I'm very happy about that
  • My teas came today, I ordered a few boxes of peppermint tea and herbal berry tea
  • I made some veggie turkey wraps. They consist of wheat tortillas, 1 TBSP of Greek olive hummus, cucumbers, shredded carrots, 2 slices of deli turkey, avocado, lime juice, and some salt. I'm excited to have one tonight (I made them ahead of time for the next two days)
  • I've eaten pretty healthy today :)
 
Today I'm happy because:

- The weather was absolutely lovely, sunny and surprisingly warm.
- I watched a few squirrels in the backyard while I was working.
- I had a good visit with my chiropractor and my back is feeling good again.
- I have another massage scheduled for tomorrow.
- I'm also just happy to see the little seasonal changes here on TBT. It was nice to log in today and see the darker reddish-orange accents.
 
Slept in a little bit this morning! I haven't been sleeping great lately and this wasn't the best sleep either, but I've had a lot of very early mornings over the past few days, and it was definitely nice to catch up on some rest.
I got to play more Wintertide Miracles today!! I've been playing the story set during the main plot of the first game, and really enjoying it so far! I always get super attached to all the new characters they add in these things and I just want everyone to be happy okay askldhksldjfs
Also played some AC and watched temmie and dannydinosaurYT's livestreams in the background! I was able to collect a fair few of the mushroom DIYs too, which I'm very happy about!
 
i’m very sleepy atm lol, but i had a pretty good day today! ^_^

i haven’t been too active on the forums over the past week or so, but i was finally able to catch up on all the posts i missed out on today!
did 2 animal crossing trades.
one of my favourite fanfic writers finally posted something! it was a story i already read over on their tumblr, but they’ve been inactive for a while so it was really nice to see them post something!
posted a new entry in my acnh island journal.
tidied up my room a bit.
did some much-needed self-care.
added 7 new furniture items and 16 new clothing items to my catalog, learned 6 new diys, got another squeakoid (i love them!), unlocked katrina and designed my first paradise planning faculty in acnh!! i’m definitely still very much so enjoying the update and dlc! :’D
 
  • I've been getting good consistent sleep the past few days, which is a nice change
  • I went to the store and bought one of those giant aluminum roasting pans for when I cook the turkey on Thanksgiving
  • I took a walk and it is absolutely beautiful outside, it's cool and sunny
  • Watched a few episodes of the original Pokémon anime (the indigo league, season 1, for nostalgia purposes) and it put me in a good mood, brings back memories of my childhood :)
  • The daytime security guard downstairs in my apartment complex is really nice, we always say hi to each other when I'm coming or going from the building
  • I'm enjoying my new tablet, I especially like using the app Microsoft To Do, it helps me stay very organized and on track with my to-dos. goals, meal plans, grocery lists, etc plus all the other fun apps on it I downloaded.
 
I did exceptionally well at work today and made up for my mistake several weeks ago. I now once again have the rest of the day to do whatever I want. I also plan on watching some TNF (Thursday Night Football) with some friends later. Lastly, as of yesterday I’m just feeling good about myself and realizing my worth as a person. :giggle:
 
I've finished uni for the week, so I had a relaxing day! Decided to play some Pokemon SoulSilver for the first time in a while and bred some Eevees to prepare for my upcoming Platinum replay (I wanted a female Glaceon with at least a neutral nature!). I also got medals in all the Pokeathlon categories, which I don't think I've played since I was like 10 years old haha.

Yesterday I was having a rough day until I bumped into my friend at the train station, which cheered me up a lot. It was fun catching up with him since he just got back from a trip to Spain. Hopefully we'll be meeting up next week to go to the cinema!
 
I’ve received some news today that made me very happy. I don’t think I’ve ever smiled so much in my life.
I’m happy to have gone on two trips in a very short amount of time.
I’m drinking a strawberry milkshake.
This dog was so happy to see me. You can see the clear happiness in his face from the moment I left to now.

Today I'm happy because:

- I slept pretty deeply last night.
- I watched some squirrels burying walnuts in the backyard. They are so cute when they pat the dirt back down.
- I finally got my password issues fixed on my work laptop so hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to log in normally.
- The presents I ordered for my nephew's birthday arrived early. I can spend the weekend wrapping and packing them.
- Tomorrow is Friday and I have very few meetings scheduled so hopefully I can finish off the week well by catching up on some things.
- Only one more day until the weekend.
 
Today was a bit weird but in a good way. Still processing it but it's certainly a cool thing. One of my Russian area studies professors is a journalist and Kremlin watcher from Washington DC. He regularly advises the state department and et cetera, so he's a huge deal in the field. He teaches classes from DC over Zoom for my university's Russian/International Studies department. He flew into my state this week to give a keynote speech at my university. I had a meeting with him this afternoon to discuss my career options as I'm at a bit of a crossroads. He's really REALLY good friends with one of the directors for an extremely renowned Foreign Affairs Commission that focuses on the former Soviet space/around Russia. (I won't name it because I feel weird about being specific online, but if anyone knows a bit about Russia/foreign policy it's easy to figure out).

He basically told me that if I am interested in the paid fellowship to work for the commission as an intern he will phone in a good word for me with the director. Also was very adamant that I'm a "strong contender" for Georgetown and even the Foreign Service Institute. So idk lol, just felt kind of nice. A big deal coming from him. Kind of bittersweet because I really don't have many people to share it with right now, I'm in a weird place with friendships due to the isolation from COVID and my family is either gone off doing things and too busy or they just really don't understand what I'm talking about with things like this. But it's pretty neat nonetheless I would think!
 
Today's my University graduation! It was postponed by a year due to the pandemic, but at least it's finally here. Today is also the release date of SMT V which is my most anticipated game of this year - I'll be picking up my preorder on the way to the ceremony, gonna be playing it as soon as I get home.
 
now that I've completed the "tutorial" in NH I'm getting to enjoy the new update, I have a few gyroids, I've started donating to Harvey's co-op, and I've enjoyed checking out Kappn's mystery islands :)

also...
• my anxiety hasn't been quite as bad the last few days
• it's cold outside, perfect weather for hoodies and heated blankets <3
• I've had my window open so the sun can shine through and my amaryllis (which ive unfortunately been forced to neglect since 2017 because i was in college) is starting to perk up, that makes me really happy. I'm honestly surprised it's still alive at all. hopefully it blooms soon.
• still haven't seen a villager wanting to move so I can't hunt for Sasha yet but I have quite a few fantastic villagers like Norma, Pippy, Jeremiah, Audie, and Zucker ☺
• planning on visiting the roller rink soon to practice inline skating! I just need to get wrist and knee guards. really excited about this!
• I have enough energy to do some more cleaning today so that'll be nice.
