What Are You Happy About Today?

The bulk of a merch order I made last month arrived today!! Along with a couple acrylic stands, I got the character I wanted from a blind box set and another that I definitely I'll be keeping. I'm very happy that it arrived safely!! ^^
The leaves around here are incredibly beautiful and colorful now—it must be getting close to peak season, if it isn't already. I'm seeing them fall outside the windows more and more too, which is always a lovely sight. 🍂
Played some more Wintertide Miracles! I've finished the side story I was on, and now I'm just going back through it to see all the other choices. c: Overall it was a really sweet story, and I thought things tied together very nicely.
Also got to play a teensy bit of AC/HHP!
I remembered something important that I'd lost sight of. 💜
 
I survived a busy day at work and afterwards I got to play Mario Party with my friend and her boyfriend (3rd wheeling their date lmao) which was a ton of fun! Also added a bunch more books to my "to read" list and I'm hoping something there will inspire me to catch up on my reading goal, feeling hopeful so far!
 
So I discovered this drink called ICE. It's carbonated flavored water. It has nice flavors and from what I've seen they are fruity like lemon lime or black raspberry ect.
IT HAS NO SWEETENER. 😃😃
Alot of sweeteners give me headaches.
It's great because, there is literally no reason to buy bottles of pop since I just like the bubbles and sugar isn't good for anyone.
And the fizz in ICE is pretty fizzy. It doesn't seem like that flat fizz from the bottom of the bottle old soda lol.
 
That hoodie I ordered is supposed to be here on Wednesday or Thursday. I am crossing my fingers for Wednesday, but who knows?
I had a real busy day at work last night, but it went by quickly and smoothly. We got out at a decent time, as well.
This boy is picking me up from work today. I can’t wait to see my favorite dog, Keagan!

I’ve always wanted to try that drink. I really like flavored water, but my goto has always been Propel. You’ve tempted me. Next time I’m at the store, I’ll pick up one to see if I like it. I’ll need to find an appealing flavor, though.
 
- After cleaning my sister's bookshelves and removing some of the books, she gave me a book called Rhett & Link's Book of Mythicality. That was awesome because I love watching Good Mythical Morning on YouTube!
- I'm learning how to play kalimba! I love the sounds of it and am using an app to practice. I am thinking about getting a physical one, but not sure yet. Next instrument I'll be learning is a piano!
 
not today but i went and saw COIN live yesterday with my friend and they were amaazing!! (it was my first non-kpop concert ;w; ) Valley opened up for them and now i have a new band to get into

also went out to lunch for my dad's birthday and had oysters & sushi <:
 
Today I'm happy because:

- I didn't have to work today and got to sleep late.
- I should have an easier day at work tomorrow because we don't have an implementation planned for this week.
- I got my nephew's birthday presents wrapped. Now I just have to pack them for shipping before Wednesday.
- My sister-in-law sent some pictures of my nephews. They are visiting DC and apparently attended the Washington football game today.
- I enjoyed my time reading and playing video games this weekend.
 
i’m very much so ready for bed (new kittens are exhausting lol), but i had a pretty good day today! ^_^

mazikeen (my tabby kitten) is continuing to come out of her shell, and has grown increasingly affectionate! she climbed on top of me for the first time today, no longer flinches when i sit next to her on the floor or sneeze, and i actually sat with her and pet her for about 40 minutes! she’s genuinely such a sweetheart; she’s constantly head-butting my hand, rubbing up against my legs, and her purr is so nice. 🥺
squee (my black/white kitten) is still a crackhead, but he’s growing increasingly affectionate and attached to me as well! he slept on me for most of last night, climbed all over me when he woke up from his afternoon nap, followed me around this evening (i had to pee so bad, but he’d jump onto the toilet lid every time i went into the bathroom 😭😂), licked the hell out of my hand, and jumped onto the back of the chair i was sitting in to lay behind my head and purr. i love him so much. <3
my parents generously gave me $150 as an early christmas present. :’)
my mom brought my dad and i home vanilla milkshakes from baskin robbins, and she also bought me a carton of cotton candy ice cream!
discovered a new favourite video on tiktok.
did 2 animal crossing trades.
 
It was finally that time of year again last weekend, I put up my christmas tree! 🎄
I usually plan to decorate the house somewhere mid november but since friends are coming over tomorrow to play winter themed boardgames, I started decorating already to make it super cozy (I'm also preparing eggnog and cookies 🙈). This year I was super excited about the tree because I ordered the polar express train model (tom hanks soundboard included, lol) and put it around the tree. I also bought some new houses I found in the store that would fit a "North Pole" theme. Now let's hope my cat isn't going to go godzilla-mode on this town...

Omggggg, I love it! 🤩 I’m always a sucker for toy trains because I used to have one many years ago that was put around the Christmas tree during the holidays. The tree looks fantastic as well! 😋

To stay on-topic, today I’m happy because I got up early and I’m going to be getting something important done today for my business. :giggle:
 
  • I saw a cute kitty today. It was a stray. It got spooked and ran off but it was adorable and made my day. Although I do feel very sad for it. I wish I could of took it before it ran off. But I’m already in the process of getting a cat. I live in an urban area so I’m very worried about it. I will just hope he/she stays as safe as possible ❤
  • I found some Christmas tree little Debbie snack cakes at the store today so bought a box 😃
  • I picked up a bunch of my requests from the library (mostly manga books). I’m excited to start reading more manga again. It’s been a year since I’ve read any.
  • I think forgot to mention this the other day but I finally put my new coffee table together, I was able to do it by myself so I was kind of proud of myself. And I love it. It’s really nice and looks good in my apartment
  • Some paperwork I needed came in the mail
  • I’ve been listening to the Vampire Diaries (by L.J. Smith) audiobooks. I watched the show which I loved but hadn’t read the books it was based on yet. The books are a bit different from the show. I’m really enjoying them though.
