What Are You Happy About Today?

[zissou]

I stayed up ALL NIGHT working on a paper just so I could say I had submitted it to my supervisor during lab meeting. Damn you, procrastination! But now it's done (at least enough for now)!

My mom and dad brought me Starbucks takeout during my lab meeting. (Good thing I was muted, because I shrieked.) I didn't even ask for any, so it was really sweet of them!

My neighbor brought us homemade lentil soup! He was really excited to see me. It was nice to see him too :')

It snowed last night!!! First real snow that I've seen in a while.

After grinding so much last night for work, I'm going to take a break and play some video games/read my library books today.

We're getting Thai food for dinner tonight, and will hopefully finish some movies we're watching (Tampopo + The Empty Man). Yes, I know we're freaks for watching movies piecemeal like this.

I'm sad to be leaving home and going back to the city where I live and work tomorrow evening. But I'm grateful (dunno if that's the right word) that my COVID was mild enough to let me enjoy the extra week I got to spend at home. Yay, quarantine.

I got to sleep in today, don’t have to work, and woke up getting to talk to my favorite person. Couldn’t ask for anything more.

today my school was virtual because it snowed again. After procrastinating all day, I finally finished my science study guide. im so happy that i did it because it was overwhelming me.

GUYS I FINALLY GOT THE FOXTAIL DRESS IN POCKET CAMP AHHHHH

it took 13 cookies, so many dupes, all my leaf tickets, and most of my bells, but it was so worth it!

 

[JellyBeans]

Today I'm happy because:

- The snow last night was only a light dusting and didn't stick to the roads or anything.
- I only had to work for half a day and completed everything that was important.
- I had a counseling session and a chiropractor visit today and I'm feeling better.
- It's Friday and I'm looking forward to the weekend.

been a while since i posted properly here, so i decided i'd do a little list for today because why not.

✿ i posted about this already, but my crumb merch arrived! i've been looking forward to the sweater a lot, so i can't wait to wear it at some point. the postcard that came with it is also super cute, and i've stuck it (and the new trading card) along with the other ones!
✿ my kitten was just cute today lol, but she's like that everyday. she comes and cuddles me under the duvet in the morning and runs up to headbutt or fuss me when she sees me come downstairs and stuff.
✿ we had one of my favorite takeouts! always saves me the hassle of trying to pick something from the freezer/cupboard because i find it hard to eat most stuff unless i'm craving it :/
✿ i got to talk about high tide !! it's been a while since i've fleshed out anything about it or thought of something new because i've been so tired recently and had no energy, but i was finally able to after my girlfriend prodded me to tell her about the idea(s), and it was a lot of fun! i know it might sound a little self-centered, but it's easily my favorite thing to do, and i love that she takes an interest in it all and loves my characters/world as much as i do >w< i'm just typing it up with more detail now and adding to that 100k+ wordcount lol.
✿ mark uploaded a new video of inscryption. it's one of my favorite games, and i'm kind of bummed nobody else i've watched ever did a second video on it, but at least he's doing a full playthrough! i'm also trying to decide which series of his i want to revisit when i have nothing else to watch.
✿ some other small things: i heard back from the woman at the therapist place; my mom bought me a meal deal and, like, 16 corner yogurts lmao; i helped my sister contact a seller who accidentally sent her someone else's package.

meant to post this last night, but i once again fell asleep . regardless, my day was pretty decent!

• alize (my black & white kitten) meowed at me, and we cuddled for a few hours. <3
• read 2 new fanfics that i enjoyed!
• watched the jackal in honour of sidney poitier (may he rest in peace ❤). it’s not a type of movie i usually enjoy, but i actually liked it!

I just made my new island

I like this thread because even when it’s not a good day, it forces you to dig for positives and that’s great. It’s always good to find things to be happy about.

⬥ I talked to Keagan on the phone and he barked for me! He was carrying six lambchop toys in his mouth and I think he wanted to play with me!
⬥ I’m getting a spicy chicken sandwich from Chik-Fil-A. I like the pepper jack cheese that it comes with.
⬥ Work has been extremely slow these past few days and will likely continue to be slow. We also closed early last night.

 

[hakutaku]

Worked more on my report last night and now I only have about 500 words left, so I should be completely finished by today or tomorrow!

My dad exchanged the jumper I bought him for Christmas for a larger size today (it was way too small for him because the hanger had shown the wrong size when I bought it), and now that he can finally wear it, he really likes it!

My mum bought me my favourite carrot cake slice from the supermarket bakery. Any UK people, try the carrot cake slice from Morrisons bakery cake shop, it's amazing

 

[Autumn247]

• I’m enjoying Pokémon Shining Pearl, just got my 6th gym badge
• My kitty wanted me to pick her up earlier so I picked her up and carried her around the apartment while she purred
• I ordered a couple very large jars of Nutella. There’s a recipe I found on Pinterest for Nutella banana bread that I really want to try making sometime. And other Nutella recipes. I love Nutella, it’s so good
• I have a bag of my favorite caramel Frappuccino mix coming
• Im going to watch the last two episodes of Chucky tonight

The dogs at work are so cute There's one dog that comes every Saturday, along with his two other brothers, and he always demands pets from me. Today he was sitting near the bath on the floor (he's a doodle, so big sized). I was talking to the bather and also petting him since he was already asking for pets. But apparently my pets while talking to someone else weren't good enough cause even as I was petting him, he was pawing me for more attention. He wanted 125% of my attention to be on him.

There was also another dog, an Aussie. It was her first time there and she was scared. A dog ran by (one of the brothers) and she got spooked so she crawled into my lap so I could hold her. Later she gave me a kiss attack, twice! She was very sweet, I hope she comes back.

Also today, I finally got to use my Michaels gift card I got from a work Secret Santa party. I got some sketch pads and books, my weakness, a marker stand and the store FINALLY had posca markers in stock so I got more of those.

 

[Pixori]

I finished my first book in years, today! ; v ;

Every winter on really cold nights when I hear the wind, I am just really happy I have a warm place to sleep. Tonight is one of those times.

Spoiler: Some context, rambling

When I was a kid, in girl scouts we went camping in single digit weather, so I know how it is sleeping out there. They were tents with a wood floor so at least we weren't on the ground itself. It was windy. And in the morning you plan on making a trip to the outhouse before you come out of your bedding because that cold air will want to make you pee like none other... And it was a walk.

I wasn't able to post yesterday because my computer refused to go on to the forums for some reason. Anyway, here are few things that made me happy:

• Played some more GT Sport and completed some events. It's just now I realized it's been 10 years since I got Gran Turismo 5. Whoa. I still remember being blown away by the graphics playing it for the first time.
• Experimented with more stuff in Inkscape again.
• Seeing the lovely posts in this thread.
• I drove somewhere with my family and the weather was pretty sunny once again. On the way home, when I was entering the highway on the acceleration lane to pick up speed, I decided to step on the gas and the engine revved up to around 5500 rpm. It made me smile as I’ve never gone into that rev range before nor heard the car rev that high. Don’t worry, it was only meant to pick up speed and stayed aware of my surroundings after reaching the speed limit. We came home safely or I wouldn’t be typing this otherwise!
• Feel free to skip this point. The first cars of the year that I spotted are the Jaguar XJ8 and a 2012 Tesla Model S. For the latter, it’s refreshing to see an ‘older’ Tesla since I keep seeing more of the newer ones. Anyway, another one I spotted was a Lamborghini Urus in purple paint. The Porsche Cayenne is fairly common and I kept getting tricked into thinking it was a Lamborghini Urus. Seriously, they both look similar to each other. Thankfully, it wasn’t the case this time around and saw the real thing. The cars I’ve spotted marks a milestone. From 8 countries, there are 31 different car manufacturers. And from those 31 manufacturers, I’ve spotted a whopping total of 112 unique cars. I’m tempted to put a huge car list in a spoiler, but I’ll refrain from doing that. As if anyone is gonna look at it in the first place lol. I will, however, share a meme I horribly made to roast myself as I keep talking about this subject. I was laughing as I made this.

Spoiler: My horribly made meme

It's a 2017 Ford GT if you're curious.
