• 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?

Here's my (almost) daily post on this thread:
  • The day started off with clear sunny skies that pretty much lasted through the whole day. It's very refreshing since the past few days have been cloudy.
  • Went for a walk even though it lasted for a little while.
  • I played GT Sport and finally finished a helmet design! I'm really happy with how it turned out even though some were made by other people that they shared. If you're curious, I tried recreating the blue racing helmet from New Horizons! Using Inkscape to recreate the patterns and seeing my efforts come to fruition in the game brings a smile to my face. Here's the link to my art thread if you want to check it out! As well as the old art that makes me question myself lol.
  • I logged on to play New Leaf and it turns out I've had the game for seven years now. Can't believe my town has existed for this long and that time is just flying by so quickly.
 
I loved receiving all of the birthday wishes from my friends on the forum. They were all very appreciated and I’m thankful for them!
My new hat came in the mail and it looks better in person. I’ve never had a black camo hat, but I’m excited to rock camo LA. I’m happy that the camo is evident in the picture, but it is more prominent in person.

I had a relaxing day off from work and my paycheck was more than I was expecting, as well. That’s always nice.
 
I've started my second viewing of the latest Shaman King episodes with my mom! ^^ Can't wait to get her caught up with me.
I played a little bit of DQXI S! I've finally used all the Pep Powers and got the Pepper Army accolade—a lot were quite cool, others were just downright funny. DQXI players, if you haven't used Fly-By-Knight yet... you really should.
Also did some coloring while hanging out in a couple livestreams!
 
- I went above and beyond my job responsibilities at work.
- @Foreverfox I saw the Mavs @ Grizzlies game had the Grizzlies in front 55-50 at halftime, so I turned it on. Well, as soon as I turned it on the Dallas Mavericks went on a tear, and ended up defeating the Memphis Grizzlies 112-85 and snapping their 11 game winning streak!! I guess they were just like, “Oh, Riley is watching. Better play our hearts out!” 😂
- Really looking forward to a job call on Tuesday. I’m actually kind of hopeful about this one. If I manage to get it I’ll be able to start my professional career. 😁

YYAASS!! I wonder if there's a trick to this...maybe a lucky shirt? Hmm...🤔 glad you started watching, that's for sure!!

I do have a lucky Mavs shirt that helps them win sometimes, but I wasn’t wearing it. In fact, I wasn’t wearing anything Mavs-related at all. I just turned it on and they started playing well. 😂

  • I'm getting a new study Bible, I like the one I'm getting because it has a lot of room on the sides to write notes
  • Ordering my kitty some new toys ❤
  • I decorated two more vacation homes in HHP, so far I've done 10 homes. I think I'm getting a little better at it :)
  • It's negative 1 degrees Fahrenheit outside right now so I'm happy to have heat in my apartment
  • Enjoying an iced coffee
  • Excited for Pokémon Legends Arceus to come out this month!
 
I confronted my colleagues as a group yesterday evening about on-going anti-LGBT behaviours towards myself and others and received a wonderful influx of love and support - and also a private message from one person owning up to their transphobic behaviour. Last night was the first night in a week I've slept soundly and I woke-up this morning feeling happy and refreshed. My partner and I are going out for drinks with some of them tonight to celebrate a colleague's birthday and I've gone from dreading it to looking forward to it!
 
Decided to buy that dress from a second-hand that had a too small head-hole. Pretty sure I can cut it open to make it larger, plus it was rather unique and I don't think I could find it elsewhere. It fit great everywhere else so I don't get how it was sewn from start. Also found another tunic/dress there, as well as some dolmades at the grocery store :D
 
I have an extra long weekend since I’m off for MLK Day, it’s snowing outside right now so I have my windows up and sitting by my kitty. About to do a simple home workout so I don’t feel so lazy all day. It’s been maybe 3 weeks since I’ve touched my Switch so I might check out my island after!
 
Finally saw my grandma again for the first time in ages! She's doing really well and it was great to see her so healthy after she had a bunch of health complications last year. We all went shopping together, bought lunch, and ate at my grandma's flat.
I tried Ovaltine for the first time and I really enjoyed it, also had some of my fav carrot cake with it.
Overall had a pleasant day and currently relaxing with a coffee :)
 
was once again too tired to post last night, and was too busy to post this ‘til now, but yesterday was decent! ^_^

did some self-care.
alize (my black & white kitten) meowed at me, and we cuddled a few times! she also woke me up by laying on my side while i was still in bed and purring in my ear, and she laid on my pillow for a few moments as well. <3
this is definitely a new favourite photo of mine. she’s so gorgeous. 😭

got 2x nook points.
tidied up my room a bit.
submitted a few story requests to one of my favourite fanfic writers (she asked for requests lol)! i’m not sure if mine’ll be chosen, but i’m happy that i mustered up the courage to submit them anyways. :’)
continued watching sleepy hollow with my dad. i also found out today that tom mison (who plays one of the main characters, and is one of the main reasons i watch) came to the city i live in in 2020/2021 to film something, and i am... punching the air lmfao.
created some new art for the first time in months!
 
I did some major room decorating this weekend! I never felt like I wanted to live here in this country in the long term, but I'm slowly warming up to it... started my new job recently, so I wanted to make an effort to fix up my room so it's something I'd feel comfortable coming home to as opposed to just... sitting at my desk or sleeping. My room is basically hand-me-down furniture left by my mom so a lot of it is antique which I love, but I also got some carpets out and hung some lights up. Made a cute little area for my cat, too. Tbh I started cleaning because I was trying to distract myself from the fact that someone I just started a relationship with might have to leave the country soon..... but at least I was productive!!! 😅
