What Are You Happy About Today?

[dizzy bone]

I adopted my coworkers cat, who was previously the “office cat”, because he couldn’t take her back to Korea with him when he quit. I’ve been working on slowly getting my cat-hating beagle to accept her for about a month now.. and this week I’ve finally made substantial progress!! After lots of face time together sharing treats from behind my door, today she was able to spend a whole hour inside my room with the cat without barking or growling. I’m excited for them to be able to be near each other without constant supervision but I know I have to be patient and take it slow. But the future looks bright

another late night post since i once again fell asleep when do i not fall asleep, though? , but i had another fairly decent day again! ^_^

• read 2 new fanfics that i enjoyed!
• alize (my black & white kitten) meowed at me! she also got into my room while i was still in bed, climbed on top of me, and purred into my ear. it was so calming and adorable.
• alize and i cuddled this evening as well! <3

Spoiler: baby

• watched the first 2 episodes of chucky — it’s pretty interesting so far! the child’s play movies are some of my favourites, so i was super excited when i heard they were making a tv series and that brad dourif would once again be voicing chucky!
• played monopoly with my family! i didn’t win, but it was still fun. :’)

It's coming to the end of the year, so I thought I'd stop by one of my favourite threads to share why I'm happy today, but it really encompasses some things I'm grateful for this year on TBT!

• I have met some really amazing people on TBT. Not everyone is in this thread, but you are all wonderful and I appreciate you! ❤
  
  
• This year, seeing all the amazing art in The Museum sparked my interest in digital art (and reinvigorated my interest in art in general). You are all so talented, and I will continue to work hard, so that one day I can hope to be as incredible as you!
  
  
• The TBT events have been amazing! I've really loved working with so many of you, and I've enjoyed pushing my creative boundaries! My favourite thing about these events is challenging myself in the tasks, and being completely inspired by everyone else's entries! I'm so thankful to the staff for their hard work this year.
  
  
• Particularly around this festive season, I have received so much love from you all, that I don't even know! Where did this come from?!?! ❤❤❤ I have received so many pieces of amazing art as gifts this year, from @shendere @King koopa @SpaceTokki77 @Roxxy @xara @peachsaucekitty @your local goomy and @Dunquixote ! I've also received some amazing art from @/lana and @/your local goomy in the DTUAY thread, and from @/Zeppeli during Secret Santa! Every piece of art was so beautiful, and thoughtful, and generous, and I so appreciate them all (you can see most of them in my "about" section!). Thank you so much! ❤
  
  
• I also have to thank the lovely @Foreverfox for gifting me a Jingle Doll collectible, the beautiful @Roxxy for gifting me a Chocolate Cake, and @King koopa for gifting me a Green Jellyfish! ❤ Thank you as well to all of the wonderful people who gifted me Christmas Lights! I loved reading all of the messages! ❤❤

This isn't a comprehensive list, but I just wanted to mention some of the things I'm feeling grateful for! I sent out drawings to some of you on Christmas day, but I'm so slow at drawing and wanted to send out more, so I'm going to keep working on this. ❤

I hope everyone has a safe and happy New Year! ❤

I'm glad you had such a wonderful experience here this year and I hope you continue to have many more here and irl. It's always nice to give free art to people that genuinely enjoy and appreciate it so it was really my pleasure. Happy early birthday as well, and I wish you a happy new year ♡

• I slept really well
• I got to give my friend his Christmas present today since we didn’t get to see each other on Christmas Day. He liked it so I’m glad
• My kitty has been being a sweetheart as usual
• It’s almost a new year, I’m excited and have a lot of goals I’d like to accomplish
• I’m excited for the NYE countdown in ACNH on Friday
• I’m finally ordering a copy of Pokémon Shining Pearl! So happy about this
• I’ve been looking at some images of haircuts online and I think I found one I like, I’m gonna get my hair cut in a couple weeks. It will be nice having shorter hair, my long hair has become a pain to deal with, especially in the mornings
• I feel a lot better than I did the other day. Migraine and nausea are gone thankfully

1. I had a good time doing a YouTube livestream with my close online friends
2. The OLED switch my dad ordered came in today

 

[LadyDestani]

I'm happy about a few things today:

- I didn't have to work.
- The weather has been nice lately. It doesn't feel like winter at all.
- My husband and I were able to schedule appointments for our Covid booster tomorrow evening.
- I have a chiropractor appointment and a massage therapy appointment tomorrow.
- I had a nice, warm shower and I'm wearing my new sloth pajamas that I got for Christmas.

 

[Suntide]

I lost 50 pounds this year!

 

[King koopa]

I'm happy that @S.J. really enjoyed my art I made for her, and the green jellyfish as a prize for one of my contests!

 

[Xara]

i truthfully didn’t have the best day today and am feeling a bit anxious and stressed out atm, but there’s still some stuff that i’m happy about. :’)

• cuddled with alize (my black & white kitten) a few times today, and she meowed at me as well!
• watched a few more episodes of chucky with my dad, and it’s getting a lot more interesting! i’m hoping we’ll continue watching it tomorrow as i’m very eager to see what happens next aha.
• i watched a new episode of 1000 lb. sisters, one of my guilty pleasure shows, as well!

 

[Disneyfangirl23]

I ordered a new smart watch with my Christmas money & hopefully I’ll be able to pick it up tomorrow

One of the things I miss from this thread is your regular posts here. I'm not sure what has happened in the past two months since I was on a hiatus at the time, but it's great to see you being around here again!

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is a mix of things that happened both from yesterday and this morning:

• My mom had an appointment to go to and drove to the location where she needed to be. Despite booking an appointment at a set time the day before, she ended up finishing very early! In fact, she was done before the appointment time I set up over the phone!
• Ate some food in the afternoon that made me full.
• Feel free to skip this point. I have already mentioned this car before, but I was so shocked to see it again that I suddenly stopped talking while me and my mom were having a conversation lol. It's the Nissan Skyline GT-R R35! After that, an elusive 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse appeared. Not long after, I then saw a 1998 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. Interesting design I must say.
• Cleaned my house a bit.

I started cross stitching. It was something my mom always did, but I never got around to it even though I really love cross stitched things. So I am finally "learning" it. I watched mom so much as a kid, I pretty much know "how" so I am going through it pretty quickly.

I do a lot of cross stitching too, it's time consuming but also very relaxing. have fun with it!


I inadvertently came out to the exec director of the symphony I'm interning for, as non-binary/trans-masc and aro-ace and he and his wife fully support me! I'm so relieved, cause I'm always afraid of how people will react when I tell them, especially older folk (my dad threw a fit when I told him I'm trans and I still haven't told anyone else in his family, they're all very conservative/traditional). now hopefully they will be more apt to use the correct pronouns and back me up, that would be amazing

also forgot to mention, I absolutely love the art I got from the secret santa art trade! @/Flicky drew my Toucat and I'm so happy, i've never gotten art if her besides what I've drawn so I just love it sm

also also my dog has been sleeping in my bed the last few days and even though sometimes he crushes me or tries to push me off the bed, I really like having a warm body to cuddle up to so I'm not as cold ☺

I am having fun with it. It is kinda addicting but I kinda wonder if that is just me in general. When I start something, I don't like stopping until it is finished... so I can often find myself stuck in something for hours upon hours on end, and not bothered by it except calling duties that exist because reality lol. Hyper focusing I suppose. So I think I am going to keep to things that are small mostly for the sanity of my spouse. There are some pretty cute things online.

 

[hakutaku]

I finished watching Azumanga Daioh today, I love watching older anime and it was a cute, nostalgic series for me since I remember watching clips of it on YouTube when I was a kid, I'm glad I finally watched it properly.

I recently finished The Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss, which brings the total of books I read this year up to 4 (better than last year, when I read 0 books)! I'm happy I got back into reading, it's a fun, useful hobby that I used to really enjoy. I think one of my New Years resolutions will be to read all the unread books on my bookshelf. I'm now currently reading Wuthering Heights.

Also ate a large slice of chocolate yule log with my coffee and am currently contemplating buying a new skirt

 

[Autumn247]

I managed to walk to the store without having a panic attack which is a huge deal because I've been struggling a lot with leaving the house lately because I keep having panic attacks when I'm in public away from home.

My mood is very good today too

 

[xSuperMario64x]

I finally got myself a new pair of 14k gold studded earrings, all my other studs were making my ears hurt. these have cubic zirconia too so they're really sparkly and colorful ☺

also haven't been feeling overly hungry today like I usually do so that's nice.

 

[LadyDestani]

Today I'm happy because:

- I had a chiropractor appointment and a massage and my back is starting to feel better again.
- I decided to mute my phone for the rest of the day and it really helped me get my stress under control.
- I got my Covid booster shot.
- I had a really good dinner.
- It didn't start raining until after we got home tonight.

i’m pretty tired and definitely ready for bed, but today was thankfully better than yesterday! ^_^

• i went to the bathroom early this morning and came back to find alize (my black and white kitten) laying on my bed, waiting for me. she meowed when she saw me as well, which made the moment even more adorable. we also cuddled this morning while i played new horizons. <3
• speaking of new horizons, i stepped out of my comfort zone and sold my turnips on someone else’s island. my mental state has left me feeling more anxious and reluctant to interact with other people than usual, so i’m proud of myself for pushing myself a bit today. :’)
• received a super sweet message from @mouthrat!! i wasn’t expecting it at all, but it made my day. :’D
• managed to vacuum my room a bit.

aa this makes me so happy :’). i took a bit of a hiatus myself as i’ve been dealing with really bad grief and depression after losing my cat, but i’m really happy to be posting in here again! i’ve missed seeing your posts, and everyone else’s, as well.
