What Are You Happy About Today?

I am glad it isn't super cold and snowy out today.
Same, still some snow here but definitely warmer which was good cause I had to go outside.

Feeling better today (fri/sat was a bit icky.. nothing serious but these weather changes i s2g and my jaw hurt).

Also yeah finally been having time to properly play Brilliant Diamond. Really slow compared to the first and I hate this "PURE remake" approach. Though kudos for actually surfing on a Bibarel LOL.
 
  • I got the laundry done finally, now I just need to put it all away but my cat is sleeping on the laundry bag right now because it's warm from the clothes coming out of the dryer
  • I got some sleep this morning, thankfully. I didn't get any sleep last night
  • I bought a few treats from the vending machine in my apartment building lobby, an oatmeal cream pie, a almond Hershey bar, and a Snickers
  • I'm enjoying some peppermint tea right now and trying to decide on what to read next
  • My kitty is laying on me right now while I watch YouTube videos (she just got off the laundry bag and came over to the bed) ❤
  • Yesterday I ordered Chinese takeout and I still have some leftovers today, the crab Rangoon was amazing :)
 
I had a good time over the weekend skiing! It was my first time and I'm not good at sports so I was worried but I was able to go down the skii lift on the first day still. The second day the weather was really bad so I couldn't actually slide, I had to push myself down the slopes for the most part but it was still a good experience
The weekend trip made me feel revitalized. I felt a renewed energy and was able to do some productive things when I got back and my mood overall is quite good. I had been lacking drive for a long time before the trip but I feel better now, which I wasn't expecting and it feels amazing! I was also able to go to bed early and wake up early which makes me more productive. I feel like I'm going to be able to focus more on the things that matter to me :lemon:
I was a bit like, "ugh, I have all this positive energy but now I have to work..." but then I remembered I only have 2 days of work this week!! (most offices in Japan are closed Dec 29-Jan 3)
I did make it to final 3 for the org, I'm satisfied no matter what happens now!
I think I'm getting better reaching out to and getting to know people. I'm going to work on setting up plans each day for winter break
 
Today I've been feeling rough, but I am happy about a few things.

- So far, at least, there has been no family crisis today.
- I have a chiropractor appointment tomorrow and I need it desperately. I think I've hurt my back in a different way because none of the usual treatments are working. Instead of the typical muscle pain, I think I might have an issue with a disc or a nerve this time and it's been keeping me awake at nights. So I'm very glad my chiropractor is open tomorrow and I already had an appointment scheduled.
 
We are done with Christmas this year. The only thing left is a movie event which I won't be attending. If it ends up being at my house because of ticket times, then I just have to make a few things to eat and that is it.
Also, a family event went pretty smoothly/well and the kids liked their stuff I got them alot.
 
Got a lot of gaming in today! I made some more progress accolade hunting in Dragon Quest XI S and also played a little bit more of Code: Realize ~Wintertide Miracles~ and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team!
I was able to do some reading today as well! It's been a while since I was able to, and especially since I was able to read more than a page or two at a time, so it was nice! ^^
 
excuse the late night post, i just woke up from a nap 😅. i was really exhausted for some reason today, but otherwise i had a fairly decent day! ^_^

watched don’t look up with my parents and really enjoyed it! it’s apparently received mixed reviews so far, but i enjoyed it a lot and it even made me laugh! i also really liked how the ending was executed, despite how sad it was. i definitely recommend it. :’)
cuddled with both of my kittens today, and alize (my black and white kitten) meowed outside my door to be let in again. she’s been doing this more often recently and it’s so cute. her meows are so tiny. 🥺
mazikeen (my tabby kitten) also meowed when given her nightly treat — i wasn’t expecting it, but man was it adorable. they’re both so cuteee. 🥺
obtained the leif collectible, which was one of my dream collectibles!!! thank you again, @KittenNoir!
 
Today I'm happy because:

- I didn't have to work today.
- I finally got some decent sleep late this morning.
- I had a chiropractor visit this afternoon and my back is starting to feel a bit better.
- My husband's friend made a surprise visit and brought presents for us. It was completely unexpected and I don't know him that well, but he gave me some Animal Crossing socks, which was really sweet.
 
⬥ My art from the secret santa exchange made my day. Thank you so much @Mistreil for the art! I love how you incorporated a Croconaw and a hockey stick! It’s perfect. 🥺
⬥ My favorite YouTuber started streaming immediately after I clocked out from work, so I was able to watch.
⬥ I slept very well last night. It was one of my better sleeps!
 
My parents and I got our vaccine boosters today! Thankfully the side effects are still fairly mild so far, but I'm mainly just happy to have gotten that extra bit of protection.
The embroidery floss I ordered arrived a day early! ^^ It was really great timing; I thought working on another bracelet would be a good low-energy activity that would still keep my arm moving. I even got to hang out in a really nice, chill livestream while I was working on it.
