• Guest, you're invited to help build our new TBT time capsule! It contains three parts, with some of its elements planned to open in 2029 and others not until the distant future of 2034. Get started in 2024 Community Time Capsule: Blueprints.

What Are You Happy About Today?

not necessarily happy, but found out i've apparently just been casually sitting on a £100 pokemon card lmao. obviously mine isn't worth that much since it's a little curved and been sitting in a pikachu backpack for at least two years, but. neat!
Very cool! I have a really old comic book that someone gave to me or I bought at some yardsale. Decided to look it up one day and it's apparently worth $1000. Obviously if I ever try to get it appraised someone will probably try to

I also have a antique coin that I found at a antique barber shop. They sell antiques and cut hair. Weird combination, I know. Apparently that's worth a lot if it's real, but it's probably not.
 
Today I'm happy because:

- It was my last day of work for the rest of year! I have twelve glorious days off before I have to go back!
- I finished all of the work that I needed to do and got my inbox all cleaned up before logging off for the day.
- All of my event submissions were accepted and I solved the I Spy code really quickly.
- My dog was super sweet and wanted to lay in my lap for a while this evening.
- My husband picked up dinner and went to the grocery store so I didn't have to.
- Looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow morning.
 
Today I'm happy because...

- we had a christmas feast at work! my boss makes the BEST buffalo chicken dip i've come to realize!
- my boss gave me a Christmas card with a lottery scratch-off and i won $2 from it!
- one of the meat cutters also gave me a card with some candy and another lottery ticket <: i have yet to scratch it off, but i hope i win something! she wrote something so nice in the card. 'you are always so happy. it always makes me happy, so thank you.'! its nice to know i have a positive affect on others T^T
- got to see some of my favorite coworkers that visited for the christmas feast! we all chatted about silly things and customers who got on our nerves at one point xD it was nice!
- we all got $20 gift vouchers to use at the store :0 i bought two rockstar energy drinks (fruit punch and whipped strawberry), some mini muffins, two instant yakisoba noodle packets, strawberry ice cream, and 4 lindor truffle bars, HAHA
- had a really yummy comfort dinner. hamburger helper is not only easy to make but its ssooo nice to eat ;v; reminds me of a simpler time.
- listened to music today! i cannot live without it. it makes my mood so much better when im stressed or irritated ;v;
- overall had a really good day despite running on 5 hours of sleep!
 
I'm playing catch up right now lol.

  • My submission for Pate's Playful Pageant has been accepted! I'm happy with the custom designs I made for it, even though I know I won't win anything.
  • Feel free to skip this point. I saw what appeared to be a 2008 Mercedes C63 AMG! Very nice.
  • It was the winter solstice and I opened up New Leaf meaning that in game, it was dark for the entire day! Though I didn't spend as much time playing, I really liked how the lighting looked during the winter solstice.

  • Cleaning up the house bit by bit. I've been doing this with my sister for the past few days to ring in the new year. It feels so nice getting clutter out of the way and dusting off surfaces with a swiffer duster (not sponsored). Aside from a momentary use years ago, this is my first time using it and it feels so satisfying.
  • I booted up Gran Turismo 6 to play... And I was treated with jazzy Christmas music on the menu screen! Because of this, I ended up listening to it while browsing cars before heading to the track lol. I heard Jingle Bells, Silent Night, and We Wish You a Merry Christmas. Actually, this has been a thing since the fifth game (released in 2010) where Christmas music would be playing at this time of year (provided the console's time and date are correct), so this tradition in the series has been going on for over a decade now. Here's a short compilation of Christmas music if you ever want to have a listen to it. And when you open your presents too lol.
  • Clicked on the advent calendar for today and got a tin robot collectible as a result. Thanks, Justin!
  • I got some more work done for my Quilt design! I'm in the colouring phase and it looks good so far.
 
I'm making good progress on my entry for Cally's Cozy Colors and prepping for my entry for Harvey's Feast!
Another round of Skye Spies came out today! I made a silly error and got tripped up for a bit, but I'm really enjoying this part of the event!
All our Christmas lights were put up today! I thought we were just going to have some outside, but my parents put some up indoors as well. It feels so festive in here ;v;
Got to play some Wintertide Miracles today and finished the last of the Christmas stories! Very glad I saved Lupin's for last; I was feeling a bit down since yesterday evening, but this definitely cheered me up a bit, and his are always such a good note to wrap up on. Looking forward to doing the Triangle Dates next!
 
-Was able to get my medicine refilled and it didn't take as long as it usually does
-The ORG I'm in is going really well! Looks like I'm set to be in the final 3 with two other people I think would be deserving to win
-I've started to make some progress on things I was putting off for a long time which made me not feel well, like a vicious cycle. I'm starting to break it now
-I'm going to pack today and then go to a ski lodge for the weekend! It's my first time though so I'm nervous
 
I have three days off in a row starting tomorrow. I don’t return to work again until Sunday evening. It’s a nice holiday break.
I got some orange juice. I’m happy because that carbonated water has been giving me a headache after drinking it, so I needed something else to drink before bed. I’m going to stop drinking that water.
I’m honestly not stressed at all today about anything. I just avoid thinking about things that could stress me out.
My dad picked me up some Swiss rolls. I’ve been craving those ever since I started thinking about the Yule Log. I’ve never had an actual Yule Log, but I am sure it would be delicious. It took me longer than I care to admit to realize the Yule Log collectible was based off a dessert.

Nice job! Are you referring to the survivor game being held offsite ACC? I didn’t make it too far, lmao. It’s a bit too fast paced for me on Discord.

Yes I am!! I was kind of wondering if you'd see this haha
Yeah it's really different from being on ACC since most of the challenges are only 24 hours now. Before we could skip a day or two and be fine, I felt bad voting for you after you missed the mastermind challenge :cry:
Tomorrow the final 3 will be set then we'll go into jury questions! It's been a wild ride...

And there might be a surprise for next season if you want to apply or watch ;)
 
Happy I'm finally done moving. All my muscles are so achey. Nothing but bed and baths for me for the rest the day.
Was also super happy getting the internet transferred and connected went really smooth.
Post automatically merged:

It’s my birthday today!! 🥳🎂
Happy Birthday! Hope you get to celebrate it well!
 
Today I'm happy because:

- I didn't have to work today.
- I got two more presents wrapped. Only four more to go. I'll finish one day but my back is seriously protesting.
- I was really worried about my mom when I talked to her earlier today. This has been a difficult year for my family. But I talked to her again later this evening and she seemed to be doing better. She's thinking about taking in a stray kitten that's been hanging around her porch and I'm seeing her tomorrow for Christmas Eve.
- I got my beautiful Snowflake Glow Wand thanks to @LittleMissPanda! It's been my dream collectible for years, long before it came into existence, and I'm so very happy to have it. Now I can try to wrangle up enough Silver Bells to buy my own Snow Bunny. That would be a Christmas miracle.
