wow over 100 posts have been made in here in the last week or so, yall are doin great!!
I finally got my dishes washed after like.... an embarrassing amount of time passed lol. it's so hard to do them when I'm not only dealing w mental health issues but also when my dad is home (bc in case it's not obvious by my older posts he gets on my nerves a lot). but that's finally done and I'm really happy about that!! I need to do laundry too so I might get that started soon!
also went through my DSiXL's SD card yesterday and I found a hidden file of an old character which I created in like April of 2011, and I totally forgot abt this character. I really like her design a lot so I really want to draw her!
- I didn't have to work today.
- I slept pretty well last night and didn't have nearly as much back pain when I woke up.
- I chose to relax today and not do anything that could be put off until tomorrow.
- We ordered pizza last night for dinner so that meant we had leftovers today and didn't have to go out in the snow.
- The snow and ice that fell all last night is already starting to melt. It should be pretty clear by tomorrow.
- My mother-in-law's biopsy came back negative. She has an MRI tomorrow and we're hoping for more good news.
Got into a really cute play fight and was left smiling for hours (I never thought something so negative could make me feel so loved)
got messaged first for the first time in weeks
Finally got gym clothing and a lock at the store, so I can start weights for real tomorrow!
Still have the same history class with one of my best friends, even though we both switched hours.
Got assigned to make a playlist of good songs for homework
☾ The merch I ordered arrived safely today!! It felt like it's been a while since I added anything to my corkboard, so I made sure to get a few more buttons for it, and it's looking good! ^^ Got a couple of other things I'm happy to have in my collection as well. ☾ It snowed for a little while! No accumulation or anything, but it was still very pretty and I'm glad I got to see it. ☾ I've been out of the tea I normally drink for a little while now, so I've broken into the Emergency Tea Stash and there's actually a few I really like! I'm really enjoying the lemon and elderflower tea especially. c:
Some things made me happy, with the majority of them being gaming related:
It was sunny with clear skies today. It's so beautiful, that I HAD to go on a stroll with my sister in this lovely weather despite the temperature being in the negative double digits. I was also pleasantly surprised with how few cars there were considering it's Monday.
I opened up Inkscape again in quite a while. I experimented and tested a few things to get myself familiar with some features. My artistic skills don't translate very well in this software since I was mostly practicing how to use the bezier curves tool lol.
Feel free to skip through these points Since they're all about GT Sport:
I and completed a few races and challenges. I will admit, some of them are too easy despite making a few mistakes.
I ended up winning a prize car that's really quick, and I was only playing for three days. Gotta thank rng for that lol.
My dad tried to play the game. He struggled so badly trying to get the hang of the controls, but was really blown away by the graphics.
Appreciated the sound quality of the engine noises from a few cars I acquired. They sound a lot more in-depth compared to the past games in the series. I spent a couple of minutes just revving the engine up to the redline. Also, some cars had a clicking noise whenever you shift gears. It sounds so satisfying that I kept changing gears (while stationary) just to hear them lol.
I spent some time in the livery editor and found some Animal Crossing related decals! I stuck them on a 1966 Volkswagen Beetle 1200 and I liked how it turned out despite not a lot going on there. They were made by other people and the only ones that were made by me are the text, which is my username and "Eeek! A beetle!" That text was made on purpose, as Blathers is absolutely horrified by bugs. Sticking him and the text on a car that was pretty much named after a bug gave me quite the giggles. However, this isn't the only racing game that has something to do with applying liveries. I'm sure other games such as Forza Motorsport, iRacing, and Assetto Corsa feature some sort of livery customization, even though it may require using other devices to do so.
Please ignore the fact that this photo was taken moments before I ended up flipping over the car lol. Since we're on the topic of decals, I kept testing stuff to see if my own custom ones are working properly. Long story short, I kept looking up stuff to overcome the technical difficulties. And with how I'm not very used to Inkscape yet, my own decals are going to look very jarring compared to others. I'm sure I'll get there with making decent Inkscape drawings eventually.
it’s been a rough day for me with the amount of tooth pain i’m in hopefully my dentist will call me back tomorrow :/, but there’s still some stuff that i’m happy about! :>
• cuddled with alize (my black and white kitten). <3 • watched two comedian shows on netflix with my parents and laughed a lot. i honestly haven’t laughed that much—or that hard— in so long. it felt good. :’) • found a new favourite edit of one of my favourite fictional characters. • received the 30 silver bells i earned from trivia and bought myself the red christmas stocking collectible with them!! i’m happy i was able to get almost all of the new collectibles, and am excited to find out what i’ll be able to do with my 9 leftover bells (if anything). • spent some time today coming up with new collectible lineup ideas! it’s honestly something i really enjoy doing, and i love seeing what ideas and designs i come up with as my collection slowly grows! • my amazingly kindhearted friend, @Foreverfox, drew my late kitty, zeva. it’s honestly made my entire day, week, month and year — i love it with all my heart.
I opened up a savings account this morning so I can actually start putting money aside for future endeavors
also really want to start practicing gratitude, it's so hard to do for some reason but I have so much to be grateful for. biggest problem is my spending impulses always get the best of me but like... I really like all the stuff i have so I really don't need more. as a matter of fact I've been going through things and selling stuff I don't need anymore. I think my problem is that when I feel depressed or lonely the only thing I can dp that can for sure pull me out of it is retail therapy. it sucks so much, I need to find a more healthy outlet.
I restarted a psych medication that helps me a lot
Had some Ben and Jerry's fudge brownie ice cream
My kitty slipped out the door when I was coming home, but thankfully I live in an upstairs indoor apartment so she didn't get outside, I was able to run down the hall and catch her and bring her back inside. She's a sneaky little thing
I'm having chicken nuggets and fries for lunch later
I am going to play some Pokémon later and some ACNH probably too
My favorite animal crossing came podcast came out with a new episode today so I listened to that
I cleaned out my fridge in preparation for tomorrow's grocery shopping
I feel so much happier now I've gotten some real work done on my 2500 word report due in 10 days! I'm wrote the first 500 word section last night and am pretty pleased with how it turned out,,
I finished Wuthering Heights last night too! I gotta say, I think I preferred Jane Eyre, but it was still a good book. Glad I'm staying on track so far with my goal to read a lot of books this year.
Also had a good long sleep and ate some of my fav porridge, which I like to top with chocolate, biscoff spread, peanut butter, muesli, and banana. Is it kind of unhealthy and over the top? Yes. Is it delicious? Yes.
I finally got around to cleaning my old room which I've been wanting to clean for like 2 weeks, it's not totally done but omg it looks so much better!!! and I finally have my 80s CRT hooked up again so I can play my NES on it!
I always feel so much better about myself when I do something productive (I need to learn to have days for myself where I'm not very productive though).
I had both of my assistants at work today, so I was able to get some important extra stuff done
I've lost a few more pounds
I'm really enjoying my new work hours; 8-5 really feels worlds different than 9-6 in a good way
My dad, stepmom, and sister have finally all tested negative for covid after catching omicron (all were fully vaxxed), so I can finally resume Thursday night hangouts with my sister this week
- I slept pretty well last night.
- The snow is almost completed melted from the roads and sidewalks.
- For my first day back at work after nearly two weeks, it wasn't so bad.
- The personal back massager I ordered arrived a day early so I got to try it out today. After just 10 minutes, my back was feeling better. It won't replace my chiropractor visits and massages, but I'm hoping it will help me get through the periods between visits.
- My mother-in-law received more promising news after her MRI today. We're hopeful that things will go well.
