What Are You Happy About Today?

  • Got to enjoy my last day of vacation with doing pretty much nothing
  • Finished some course work before the school term begins so I'm a little ahead
  • Some scent sprays came in the mail today
  • Being wrapped up in a heated blanket is 10/10, especially when it feels like -30C outside
  • Planning what stickers to use in my notebook
 
Kind of shallow, but after two years I finally remember how it feels like to hold my boyfriend's hand.

He took an 8-hour trip on my birthday just to surprise me. I jumped at him and cried in his arms because god it's been so long.

He's left now because he has to go back home but for the 24 hours we were together, I've never felt that comfortable since early 2020.

I love him so much. I'm really happy. Happy birthday to me.
 
I got to play MK8 for a couple of hours with my bestie while on the phone with her! 💖💞💖

That isn't shallow at all! I'm so happy for you, I can't imagine how it must have felt not seeing him for so long. What a wonderful birthday present! 💖
 
my day was alright! i just woke up from a nice nap and am currently not experiencing too much tooth pain, so i’m ending the day on a pretty good note as well. :’)

i finally managed to get ahold of my dentist today, and my infected teeth are being extracted tomorrow instead of on the 27th. this sadly means i’ll have to be awake during the procedure as the anesthesiologist is booked until the end of the month, but i can’t wait another 3 weeks. i’m terrified, but i’m also relieved that i can finally see an end to this agony — infected teeth with severe cavities are no joke lol. wish me luck. 🤞🏻
tidied up my room a bit.
watched some nice videos on youtube.
read a new fanfic that i enjoyed.
i’m super happy that voting for tbt’s holiday market event has finally begun! i’ve literally been so impatient to find out what the possible designs for the nameless snowman collectible would be aha. i’m also happy about the leftover bells raffle, and am definitely hoping to win an aurora sky, but the tbt prize would be amazing as well. ☺️
 
I got to see Keagan today. I bought him his own burger from McDonald’s. He was so excited to see me. I’m seeing him again on Thursday!
I enjoyed my day off. I have to work tomorrow, but I get another day off on Thursday. I got a lot of sleep on my day off, as well.
I’m just feeling decent today in general. It’s not a bad day. My favorite show also continues tomorrow and looking forward to the new episodes.

Being awake for extractions isn’t so bad. I was awake for quite a few. I think the shot in the roof and side of your mouth for the numbing is the most painful part. You barely feel anything with the numbing. Afterwards, you’ll feel happy that the tooth causing you pain is gone. Feeling that nothing hurting is present in your mouth is a nice feeling. Good luck. It takes less than a minute and a half per extraction. It’s a quick procedure. I just shut my eyes the whole time.

sent an offer to someone last night for a Webkinz Signature Arctic Hare and they accepted it! so yes my plushie streak continues lol. but this one is really nice and it's prob about as close as I'll ever get to an actual signature arctic fox lol. I still want that wwf silver fox but I've gone through the stages of grief and I now realize it's gonna take quite a while for me to find one.

I've also been going through a lot of my old stuff and listing it to sell online or putting it in my designated goodwill bag. already sold a few things. feels nice to declutter.
 
@xara Going by what @Croconaw said, I also had my wisdom teeth pulled when I was awake. You don't feel it at all because they will numb your mouth. Yes you may feel the force of them removing, as in shift in your body, but you won't feel any pain. You may feel it when the shots wear off, but it won't be anywhere near as bad as it was while enduring the pain up to this point.

@xSuperMario64x Decluttering is really nice! I've been doing that one and off since summer 2020. My unfinished basement was just overfilled with too much crap. Usually it wasn't even my stuff. I would just carry a few heavy or big things, at a time, and put them near the road and put a free sign on them. Within a few days they were always gone.

I tried to sell some of the things, but people were always too difficult for me to bother trying. Would ask so many questions and then ghost or try to give me something ridiculous as they imagined I would cave given I wasted so much time answering their replies. Jokes on them, I just threw the stuff away.

Someone gave me bags of out of print magazines. So I listed the entire lot for something like $30 and you could make bank if you bothered to take the time. This one idiot kept messaging me with more and more BS, finally made a offer of $5 and asked me to come personally drop it off a state away. I dropped it off in the recycling bin.
 
  • I went grocery shopping today and got everything on my list
  • Had some cheesecake
  • Had a good appointment with my therapist today
  • Beat the 3rd gym leader in Pokémon Shining Pearl, I was about to beat her last night but my game froze and crashed so I had to restart and go through all the trainers in the gym again and the gym leader
  • Watched an episode of The Witcher and an episode of Chucky
  • Finished reading a book :)
 
I finally got my promotion at work (after they left me waiting around for like a month and a half). But today I signed my new contract! I was also able to get my 3rd vaccine dose today which I am so thankful for. And I'm really touched that my snowman design made it through to the voting round. 😊
 
Today I'm happy because:

- I slept pretty well again last night.
- I got most of my emails cleaned up so I'm starting to feel caught up at work.
- The work week is already halfway over.
- I made an eye appointment for next week so I can finally get some new glasses.
- My mom is super happy because she adopted a new cat. Her name is Sassafras. She's 6 years old and she was at the shelter for a year. Everyone kept passing her over because she has chronic sinus issues. Poor thing. I can't wait to meet her.
It's not the best picture, but it's the only one I have right now. My mom's friend took it.

My wife surprised me with the newest Kindle Paperwhite and I'm able to finally push myself to start reading again. I'm going slowly but I miss being able to read like I used to.

Also today, aside from some minor things was a good-ish day.
Our cats are cuddling with us and I'm watching my favorite anime with the love of my life.
Just general happy yet simple vibes. <3
 
actually have a lot to be happy about today so this is gonna be kinda long and rambly
feeling less and less compulsive, depressed and anxious every day. still have a lot to work on but the progress is real:)
got some new jewelry for my nose piercing in the mail and i love them so much!! one of them is an anodized horseshoe ring that looks rainbow and it’s so cool.
i’m going to disneyland next week for the first time in 6 years so i’m hella excited, currently planning outfits and hyping myself up with youtube videos c:
my cats are amazing and they bring me immense joy every day. two of them are in bed with me right now and ahhh they’re so fuzzy and sweet and it makes me happy
i’m so thankful to have met my soulmate and i’m just excited to spend another year together. my love for them grows every day and i can’t believe how lucky i am to have them in my life. i know it’s cheesy.
i used my urban outfitters gift card to get some cool stuff that was on sale, including two dresses which would usually be out of my comfort zone but i actually feel really cute in.
honestly i am genuinely excited for this year. i don’t want to jinx it but i feel like good things are going to happen. i finally am starting to grasp what direction i’d like to go in life and i’m looking forward to the future. i’ve been so lost the past few years but i feel like i’m emerging from a cocoon and while things are still very hard at times, it’s becoming a lot easier to see the light. feeling grateful for that.
<3
