bought myself the january birthstone (garnet) collectible today, in honour of the birthday of someone who means a lot to me. :’)
continued watching sleepy hollow with my dad.
alize (my black & white kitten) meowed at me. <3
tidied up my room a bit.
did some self-care.
looked at the activity log on my 3DS to find out how many hours i played new leaf for, and went on a trip down memory lane when i saw some of the other games on there that i used to play! i’d actually forgotten the names of most of them, so it was nice to be reminded. i might even try to repurchase a few of them if i can find them. 😅
mazikeen (my tabby kitten) gave me a few kisses on my hand. <3
 
Today I'm happy because:

- I got all of my important work completed today.
- I went to the eye doctor and they told me my vision is actually improving slightly! It will get worse again as I get older, but I'm going to enjoy the improvement while I can.
- I picked out some very pretty new purple frames. I can't wait to get them.
- Tomorrow is Friday and then I've got a long weekend coming up!
 
The pastel scissors and blue desk lamp that I ordered a while ago arrived today. I'm especially excited for the desk lamp because it's has a usb port and an outlet to connect other gadgets. Kind of like the one found in modern hotels. The light switch on this thing will take some getting used to because it's touch control at the base and neck.
 
- I had fun with a friend today.
- Was off work.
- Discussing a job opportunity for a place that’s one of my dream jobs.
- I played the Windtrace event for the first time in Genshin Impact and won my first match without getting captured. All I did was go under a ledge and turn into a box so they couldn’t find me. 😂 💯

I didn't post yesterday because it was pretty uneventful for me. Today only had a couple of things:

  • I logged on to ACNH. Did a few things before I went to play HHP. I heard somewhere around the forums where you can give souvenir chocolate to your villagers so you can design their vacation homes without relying on rng. Because of this, I gave one to Queenie thanks to @Midoriya who gifted me a couple of them a few weeks ago. I don't know if you were aware of this buddy, but I want to say thank you for that! I'm definitely putting it to good use. 😁 Anyway, it was nice designing Queenie's vacation home and getting a little creative with the limited stuff I'm given considering she's one of my favourite villagers.
  • For the *insert a ludicrously high number here* time, I played GT Sport to do some races. There's this one AI that constantly tried to overtake me, but ended up going off track a few times which made me snicker lol. For half of the time I played the game, I was designing a livery for one of the cars I used. I also ended up making a helmet design that's a work in progress at the moment. Because of acquiring more knowledge I learned on how to use Inkscape, it felt so great seeing my custom decals in the game beyond text even though they're just simple shapes. I should consider bringing back my old art thread to post my liveries so people wouldn't have to deal with my spoilers here lol. Should I, though?
 
i can’t believe i’m actually posting at a semi-reasonable hour for once lol, but today was good! uneventful for the most part, but still good. :)

continued watching sleepy hollow with my dad! we’ve finally made it to season 2, and it’s good so far! if i’m mainly watching for tom mison/ichabod crane, then that’s between me and god. 🤣
tidied up my room a bit and did some tiny tasks around the house.
alize (my black & white kitten) meowed at me and we cuddled twice. <3
had a delicious slice of chocolate fudge cake after dinner! i tend to stay away from chocolate cakes as they’re usually too rich for me, but this one was just right and very good!
did some self-care.
finally put a transparent design all over my acnh island to prevent new flowers from spawning. i regret not doing this sooner, but i’m glad to have done it now — i hate digging up flowers so much lmao. 😅

I should consider bringing back my old art thread to post my liveries so people wouldn't have to deal with my spoilers here lol. Should I, though?

it’s entirely up to you of course, but i say go for it!
 
Posting a little late today, eheheh.
The latest batch of Shaman King episodes came out on Netflix today, and I somehow managed to binge my way through all of them! It was a lot of fun and I'm glad to be basically caught up, but I think the wait for the last set of episodes to be released might be a tad painful, ahaha. ;v;
I've had some extra spending money recently, so I ordered a few music CDs today! Should take care of a few of the songs I haven't been able to buy off of iTunes.
 
The Los Angeles Kings dominated the Pittsburgh Penguins and that makes me very happy. I love seeing them play like this.
I got paid from my job tonight via my bank’s early pay. I had just received a direct deposit from Ebay as well, so double paychecks are always nice.
My new hat is supposed to come in the mail tomorrow. Unfortunately, mail comes after 4:00 PM here, so it’ll be a bit of a wait.
I am off work tomorrow so I’m staying up a bit to play video games.
 
⬥ Learned how to make a GIF today! It's super quick and easy so I think I'm going to start making some out of my ACWW capture footage and share them on Twitter/tumblr
⬥ Getting a bit better about moving forward towards my goals. My new check-off lists that I keep for yearly/monthly goals seems to be helping me stay on track
⬥ Might be able to go and see my family after 3 years in a few months! (But of course that depends on, y'know) There are a lot of things I've been wanting to do when I go back so if I can I'm looking forward to that

(I'm sad though I can't put the GIF here it said the file is too large :(( )

And I’m happy that I’m seeing Spider-Man at the Cinema Sunday 😁
 
It was yesterday (didn't have time to post here), BUT...

Yesterday at work I was walking down the hallway when I heard a song I absolutely LOVE, but that you would absolutely not expect to just hear randomly, coming from inside the lab (this is the song, for the curious). I sprinted in and was like "Oh my god I love this song who's listening to this??" Glanced over at the computer they stream spotify from, and saw... MY playlist! Lmao! One of my coworkers asked for the link to a playlist I made a couple months ago because every time she walked through my part of the lab while it was playing she would jam out. Turns out she put it on for everyone to listen to while working yesterday lol!
 
I finally got the grade back for the exam I handed in for the 5th November 2021 and I got an 85 on it! I'm really pleasantly surprised by it lol, I didn't think I'd get higher than my last grade. 85 is basically the highest you can get for UK undergraduate history essays so I'm kind of shocked. o_O I would have just been happy to get any grade back in general since it was over a month late, apparently the tutor marking my paper got ill.

Had a nice time at my friend's place last night too, and a relaxing day so far today. I handed in my report last night so I don't have any responsibilities for the next 10 days until I go back to uni, which is pretty good.
 
Took my kitten Milo to get fixed yesterday, and the vet told me he ate a hair tie. After hours of him trying to cough it up last night, he finally went to sleep and pooped it out this morning. So glad I don't have to worry about that anymore!
Here's a pic of him dazed out on meds

I submitted another job application today, hopefully they hire me :)

I found a 10% off coupon for that silver fox plush I'm eyeing so now it'll only be $33, I don't have enough money in my checking acct to buy it atm but when I do (aka when my sales on Mercari complete in a few days and I get paid) I'm snatching him up! silver fox plushies are basically just as rare as an actual silver fox so I'm really excited to bring him home ☺

also had a really good soft pretzel with some mildly spicy cheese earlier, got the pretzels in the frozen section at the grocery store. 10/10 would recommend.
 
  • I got some jars of Nutella!
  • I visited a belltree members island to drop off a diy for them :)
  • Tomorrow is Saturday!
  • Had a caramel latte tonight
  • I posted a free diy giveaway thread in the nooks cranny sub forum
  • A new episode of my favorite Nintendo Switch podcast came out tonight, I’ll be listening to it tomorrow. Too tired tonight.
  • Watched an episode of Lucifer
 
Today I'm happy because:

- I slept pretty deeply last night.
- I completed all of my important work for the day.
- My dog has been acting a bit calmer lately. He suffers from anxiety, like I do, so it's nice to see him handling things a bit better sometimes.
- I've felt relatively good today as well and haven't gotten too stressed about anything.
- My back has been feeling better today.
- I have a three day weekend to look forward to!
