What Are You Happy About Today?

[LadyDestani]

Today I'm happy because:

- I had another easy day of work. I didn't have a lot to do so I caught up on a training session that I found very helpful.
- The presents that I ordered have started arriving. I got one for my nephew and one for my husband so far. I'm hoping they all get here before Christmas.
- My dog was super cute and playful today. He also cuddled with me on the couch for a little while this evening.
- I saw the calico cat walking through my backyard again today.
- Tomorrow is Friday and I have another chiropractor appointment, probably my last one before the holidays.

After more than a full year, I ended up creating some art piece again. Sure, it's simple, but I was trying to make something minimalistic. I also kinda decided to design some kind of a signature for my art, drawing inspiration from Scott Hansen (probably better known for his work as a musician on Tycho).

Even though this was a digital piece, I went to the store to buy a new nankin pen, and I'm thinking about buying an A3 Canson paper pad so I can actually make something more serious than just drawing random things on a common piece of paper. I still don't know how I would use colors, because I don't know how to paint with watercolor and Copic markers are just too expensive for me (especially because I would need a bunch of different colors).

I won't force myself this time, but I hope I'll be able to enjoy this "creative moment" as I have been "fighting" with my artist side for so long I almost have up completely.

⬥ I downloaded Madden NFL 22. I got the free trial because I won’t be getting it if I’m not very good at it. I mostly just want to play career mode as a running back. The downside? It’s taking a very long time to download.
⬥ I will probably be getting it because I’ve gotten a lot better. I don’t know if I’ll play online, though. This may be just an offline game for me.
⬥ I had a few of the Christmas light collectibles gifted to me by some amazing people. I’m also looking forward to the event itself.
⬥ I saw Keagan today and he makes me happy!

I am finally starting to feel excited for Christmas and I'm happy to have been able to give some people some Christmas lights!

In other exciting news, Nicholas is just leaps and bounds talking! That's not a recent thing, but the level of which it's developed to is just remarkable. He's extremely smart, and hearing him talk just melts my heart.

☾ This was uhhh a couple days ago now but! I finished another romance ending in Dairoku and oh man I really loved this route too!! I'm really looking forward to doing the friendship endings for my two faves, then I'm planning to go back to Wintertide Miracles for awhile!
☾ I've been making really good progress in my New Leaf town!! I'd put off doing so much to save up bells faster, but now I'm really blazing through on adding decorations and I think it's starting to come along really nicely!
☾ Season two of Shaman King came out and I've already been able to watch over half of it!! Despite all its flaws, this series has a really special place in my heart and it's brought me a ton of joy to see it all so beautifully animated. ;u; And it's been great seeing the main cast finally come together; I've been really looking forward to this!
☾ I'm super excited for the upcoming holiday event on here, and giving out the Christmas Lights collectible has been really fun too!
☾ I'm also making good progress with my second entry for the Pokemon TCG contest! I've tried something a little new for this one and I think it was a good idea.

I got gifted some Christmas lights by the wonderful -Lumi- and it's made me smile as it was so unexpected and just made my day a whole lot better in general. There really are some lovely people on this forum.

So there's these wings called Cosmic Wings in Diablo 3. The rarest item in the game. You have to find a specific goblin type called the rainbow goblin. And the rainbow goblins drops a portal that sends you to a place called Whimsydale. And in Whimsydale, there's a specific unicorn, Princess Lilian, that drops them 100% of the time. But she has a less than 1% chance to spawn.

I've spent 400+ hours looking for rainbow goblins for a chance to find Princess Lilian. And yesterday I finally found her. I've never spent so much time looking for one item in any game ever. Woke up today and it wasn't a dream.

Got some good feedback at work, that was nice.

But more importantly I got Shino from my amiibo pack. ^__^

 

[Lady Timpani]

• Got a (totally unexpected) raise
• Found out I won't actually have to be working Christmas this year!
• I went to my first appointment with my new PCP this week and really liked her. I felt like she actually listened to me and took my concerns seriously, which was nice because my previous doc didn't lol

Met my online friend who lives in the same county as me for the first time in person today and it was rad ^>^

[dragonair]

Finished Endwalker last night in FFXIV so I finally got to get some actual sleep and fix my sleeping schedule! I actually got a good amount of sleep too despite not being able to take what I normally use to sleep. I also finished my secret Santa gift finally! Nervous about how the person receiving it is going to feel but I'm glad I got it finished in time at least.

Today I'm happy because:

- I made some hot chocolate to soothe my sore throat and it was delicious.
- I saw the calico cat in my backyard again twice today.
- My dog missed me while I was at my chiropractor appointment, so he lay on my lap for a while after I got home.
- It's Friday and I have the weekend off!
- So many kind people have sent me Christmas lights! I love how festive everything is getting around here and can't wait for the event announcement this weekend.

I’m happy because of all the kind messages people have sent to me with lights, and on my profile as well. It fills my heart with joy and drives the pain and sadness away from missing my mom. I also had a good day at work and helped someone out, and they called me their hero. It’s not like I did anything spectacular, but it still made my day.
