• 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?

My favorite show is returning on January 5th and I’m really excited. I’ve been a fan of the show for years and it’s my guilty pleasure.
I have two days in a row off from work this week. I plan on spending it by playing my football game, which I am really enjoying.
My little cousin visited me at work today and I swear I’m twice her age and she is taller than me. I can’t believe how mature she looks for a lack of a better word. When I was her age, I looked like a midget lmao.
One of my coworkers told me happy birthday. For context, I have Friday off this week because the store manager thought it was my birthday and decided to give me off, but it was a misunderstanding. My birthday is really in two weeks, but I still appreciate the thought, nonetheless.
I’m going to be seeing my favorite dog tomorrow, Keagan. He really liked his new lambchop, which is most likely destroyed by now. He chews on those things so vigorously. I can’t wait to see him tomorrow night!
 
I’m happy to have made it through this year with relatively good health. It’s definitely something I took for granted pre-pandemic.

I’m happy to have made it through graduate school. I finished this past August and it just feels so good to be *done*. Also, I’m back to reading for pleasure vs. assignment and it’s really nice!

I’m happy to be starting a new job next month. It’s in a level 2 trauma hospital, completely different than the work I’m in now (psychotherapy) but I really can’t wait to get started. I love new experiences and challenges! I also love making a difference in people’s lives.

Overall, it’s been a great year of new experiences for me. I’m really looking forward to 2022! Hope everyone has a happy new year 😊
 
Wrote a lot in my case paper today after procrastinating for so long -w- at this rate I might actually finish the paper tomorrow or on New Year's, just in time for draft submission on January 2!
I'm feeling really happy and productive so I'm rewarding myself by playing Brilliant Diamond tonight.
 
Today I'm happy because:

- I finally slept well last night. It's been over a week since I've gotten more than a few hours of sleep and I desperately needed it.
- I've been feeling a bit yucky all day due to getting my Covid booster yesterday, but the symptoms are finally starting to ease up. Fingers crossed, I should feel better by tomorrow morning.
- I've kept my phone on mute again all day and I really think it's helping reduce my stress. I still check it regularly, but I'm not being constantly interrupted while I'm trying to relax.
 
  • I had a good appointment with my psychiatrist, we're making some changes with my meds
  • I have some lemon sorbet scented wax melting in my Scentsy wax warmer and it smells amazing :)
  • I'm wearing my new Bath and Body Works "In The Stars" body lotion and it smells great too
  • Tomorrow is New Years Eve, excited because I'm ordering a pizza and buffalo wings
  • My kitty is being very sweet, she took a nap with me earlier
  • I'm getting my cat a couple new toys and a scratching post
  • I'm ordering Pokémon Shining Pearl
 
heading off to bed early hopefully lol as i had a bit of a rough day today, but there’s still some stuff i’m happy about. ☺️

alize (my black & white kitten) meowed at me a few times today <3. i also played with her and mazikeen (my tabby kitten) tonight. :’)
my mom got me 2 tiny tins of quality street chocolate!!!! quality street chocolate is my absolute favourite, and is one of my favourite parts of the holiday season as well, so i’m super happy that it went on sale and that my mom was kind enough to get me some!
 
The past week for me has been getting pretty hectic since me and my family keeps cleaning up things around the house to prepare for the new year. It's gradually getting crazier and tomorrow will go up to 100 real quick LOL. I'm not quite sure if I remember everything that made me happy so here goes:
  • Feel free to skip this point. While I picked up my mother from work, I spotted a 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe! You may have tried to sneak your way through the traffic, but I can still see you!
  • I completed more TBT Holiday events for 'Sydney's Seasonal Signatures' and 'Harvey's Feast'. I also managed to complete 'Sprinkle's Snowman Stockpile' the day before. They haven't been approved yet but considering that the new year is very close, I wouldn't blame them at all if the approval process is slow because we all got something to do, right?
  • Somewhat staying on topic with the event, I'm happy with how my profile picture and signature turned out, especially the former I really hope I used that word correctly. Blue and Poliwag looking up smiling are just too cute. 🥺
 
I managed to wake up early today to go see my favorite dog. I’m also going to see Keagan again on Saturday morning if I wake up early enough.
I caught up on a few YouTube videos today and had a relatively relaxing day today and got a good bit of cleaning done.
I got paid early from my job which is a godsend because I wasn’t paying attention to my bank account and realized I didn’t have enough in there for an automatic payment due at the end of the month. Thanks to the super early pay, I won’t be overdrafting by accident. I sent a little too much to my savings a few days ago. I wasn’t supposed to get paid until Saturday, which is in January.


I do like your avatar. It makes me smile when I see it around the forum!

Been taking it easy the past few days, and I've gotten a lot of gaming in! I'm making good progress in DQXI S and I'm almost through with all the triangle dates in Code: Realize ~Wintertide Miracles~!
I think I'm about fully recovered from my booster! Going to take it easy a little while longer just to be safe, but thankfully my side-effects were pretty mild anyway.
Technically a couple days ago now, but I ordered some merch with some of the money I got for Christmas! I'm gonna save the rest for anything new that catches my eye.
I feel like I've been doing a bit better mentally recently—I'm not quite as conflict-averse when it comes to fiction as I was a little while ago, and I've gotten more comfortable with chatting in livestreams and such. It used to take me forever to work up the courage to join in chat conversations, but I'm getting there much quicker now! ^^
 
I have off for a few days and I got some movies and games I want to play. I got Pokemon Diamond, Metroid Dread, and Skyward Sword. I also got a few Batman animated movies. I don't know about you all, but this is how I plan to spend my New Years Eve...lol

I also organized my closet and decluttered/threw away stuff I didn't need anymore. It feels great to open my closet and have so much room opened. Still a ways to go though.

I am restoring an old antique chest so that I can store some of the stuff in it. It's going to look great when it's done. It's been a long grueling process because of how the original owner let it get so dirty, moldy, rusty, ect. Slowly chipping away at that and all the metal is now shiny! I tried all sorts of easy DIY for rust removal, but none of it worked. Had to finally spend countless hours with a dremel knocking off the rust/patina/paint? Don't even know what the grungy stuff was. I should share a picture of before and after someday.

I finally got to see the new Spider Man :]
That's awesome! I really want to see that one, but my sister and I like to watch the movies together. It's kind of a tradition now, so just waiting for her to have a bit more free time.

@Croconaw Nice! What show is this? I never find out when my favorite shows are coming back and I always miss the first episode or so. I missed the first episode of Primal because of this, but thankfully they played the first one after the second episode of the 2nd half of season 1.
 
My new skirt arrived today much earlier than expected, and it fits great! It's a black pleated tennis skirt, which is something I've wanted for a while, so glad to add it to my wardrobe.

It's New Year's Eve and I'll be seeing my brother for the first time in ages! Our mum's making cottage pie (one of my childhood fav foods) and I've been enjoying the anime I started, it's super cute and relaxing (Maiko-san Chi no Makanai-san). Also got half-way through reading Wuthering Heights last night too 😄
 
I am happy because 2022 is almost here! Maybe we can all be happy and kinder this year!! I am so happy that everyone in my family is safe and I hope luck to everyone for the new year! I am also beyond happy because my mother made broccoli and chicken stir fry with rice!! I love it! :D
 
Not much but here we are!
-Yesterday I got meowser on the first free pull in mario kart tour! I was already saving rubies for him, so I glad I got him without spending anything! Also doing really well on the ranked cup (currently in first place) so that's nice!
-Started working on some more art of hoppy and I like how it's turning out!
-I think I'm just about halfway done with persona 5 strikers, which I got for Christmas, and I'm having lots of fun with the game! It's really fun, and I like how they changed how you battle from the original and royal.
-Decorated my campsite in pocket camp, and I'm happy how it looks! I also happen to have a lot of leaf tickets, so hopefully I can snag one of the reissued new years items as well! (Especially that ferris wheel, forgot what's it's called but I really want it and hopefully I can get it!)
