• 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?

Today I'm happy because:

- I slept pretty well last night and got to sleep in this morning.
- I woke up with no back pain.
- I didn't have to work today and still have two more days off.
- I had a nice day at home with my husband and my dog.
- It's freezing outside with a chance of snow/ice tomorrow so I'm happy I don't have to go anywhere this weekend.
 
- I played Mario Party Superstars online with @/justina and it was a blast!
- I got my Bernese Mountain Dog plush in the mail today and he's perfect and I love him sm 🥰
- I ordered the silver fox plush today and I'm so excited to get it!!! (if it wasn't obvious by my avatar lol)
- i got to eat another tasty pretzel today, I gotta buy pretzels more often 🥨
- very random but I got some miis to become couples in Tomodachi Life so that was great! no mlm or wlw yet but I'm gettin there.
 
I received a ton of gift cards for my birthday last night.
The Los Angeles Kings are finally playing great hockey with the prospects coming up, and I’m actually very confident for a playoff run.
I’m currently eating bagel bites. I’ve been craving them for quite a while and I finally had the chance to pick some up.
We are closing a little early at work tomorrow so it will be a short night for me. I’m planning on using that free time to play video games.
I love Arizona so much. That looks beautiful.
 
Played some more DQXI S—I've done everything I can at this point in the game, and I'm finally ready to wrap up Act 3! I'm excited to see the ending and get into the remaining content afterwards.
We had a little guest over for a while today! It was getting really cold out and our neighbors weren't home to bring their kitty in, so we brought her in for them until they got back. She's really quite a sweetie. ;v;
 
- Did well at work.
- Glad the Dallas Mavericks won again, defeating the Orlando Magic 108-92.
- Looking forward to the Dallas Cowboys versus San Francisco 49’ers playoff game tomorrow.
- I didn’t have the best of days today, but I was reminded to cherish the people who love me and not take anyone or anything for granted. 💚
 
Happy because my mom ordered me some new slippers, and… They’re Umbreon themed ones! They looked so cool and I can’t wait to get them. Hopefully they’ll fit. Also, I’ve been working really hard on my Pokémon Shining Pearl game the last few weeks. I’ve got every Pokémon in it except for the ones that evolve through trade, which I need to find someone who can help me with that, and the Brilliant Diamond exclusives. So I’d say I did pretty good! ^-^

  • I bought 4 new games on the eshop yesterday since they were having really good sales, The Witcher 3: Complete Edition, Cozy Grove, South Park: The Stick of Truth. and Calico. I'm going to play some of them out today
  • I finally got a full night of rest after 3 days of barely sleeping
  • Finished a book I was reading and started another one
  • My kitty slept cuddled up to me last night purring :)
 
I am happy about quite a few things as of late!!

1.) I started school!!!!! I'm officially an Early Childhood Education student 🎉 I've worked with little ones on and off since I was a teenager but I've always been nervous about going to school for it. I was not at my best in high school and it put me off college for a long time. Plus I had to pay, lol. But I found an online program and so far it's lovely. I mean I'm still trying to get used to the website and everything, but I am really excited to finally get my degree so I can be fully certified to work with the little ones.

2.) I have been so lucky to receive so much art from tons of different wonderful TBT users!! Shoutout to @Totoroki for my absolutely magical avatar and @Cutesy for my adorable signature!! They're both perfect and I am so thrilled.

3.) I'm slowly heading back to work! I'm not sure if it'll stick or not with this new variant but as it stands I'm set to work all week and I'm excited to see all the kids again. I miss them so much, it'll be so nice to see them! I'm not sure if everyone will be back but we will see.
 
Today I'm happy because:

- I slept well again last night and got to sleep in this morning.
- I woke up with no back pain for the second day in a row.
- I didn't have to work today and I'm off tomorrow as well.
- I didn't have to go out for any reason today except to walk my dog which was good since it's been snowing/sleeting all day.
- I had another relaxing day at home with my husband and my dog.
- My dog was being super cute and playful earlier today.
 
I got my new Assistant Manager name tag at work which makes me happy! (Until a rude customer comes and wants to speak to a manager at which point I may feel differently lol)

I am also glad that I have two days off of work now and the weather should actually be nice for tomorrow so I am hoping I can get outside and get some sun.
 
A bunch of people, including me, were set home from work early. I was okay with the short day because I’m picking up a shift on Tuesday night.
I spent the past few hours watching the NFL Playoffs. My good friend is actually a Chiefs fan, so I’m happy they are winning their game.
There is a chance I could get called off work tomorrow because of road closures, so I will be happy with the free time if that happens.
I’m happy to have the chance to play my video game tonight.
 
Played some more DQXI S—I've done everything I can at this point in the game, and I'm finally ready to wrap up Act 3! I'm excited to see the ending and get into the remaining content afterwards.
I haven't played DQXI S since 2019, but I can confidently say it's one of my favourite games to play, even with some things that required grinding. Despite not playing it for a long time, I can still remember most of the locations vividly. Some of the pep power cutscenes are downright funny as well. My personal favourite is where Jade and Rab were kicking this energetic ball back and forth at each other, with the latter gulping it up after. Moments later, Rab would fire it out like a laser with angry-looking eyes. It feels like that alone was a reference to the Imma Firin Mah' Lazer meme lol. Perhaps once you finished the game, you should play the entire game in 2D mode if you want!

-----------------------------------------

Good day today for me. :)
  • Had a very good sleep last night which left me with quite a lot of energy throughout the day!
  • I got back into drawing again after a couple of weeks of not doing so. Feels pretty nice even though it feels like I've gotten a bit rusty. At the same time, it's a preparation for a surprise for one of the users on here!
  • I spent some time in one part of my house where the sun was shining through. I opened the blinds to soak into the sunlight for some time. On top of the clear weather that happened throughout the day, it left me in a pretty positive mood! I should do this more often when another opportunity arises.
  • There was a MK8D friendlies session today that was organized by @/Mairmalade! I manage to get in even though I was half an hour late after it started. We eventually decided to play some balloon battles which is a nice change of pace to the typical races. Unfortunately, I ended up disconnecting in the final battle due to a communication error for whatever reason maybe it's because I was constantly throwing items on the battlefield and the game was having absolutely none of it. Either way, I had fun all the way through along with some banter over at discord lol. Can't wait for the Smash Bros. session on Friday!
  • Feel free to skip this point. Played GT Sport again and did quite a lot of things. I completed some time trials, race events, and frolicked around a few race tracks. In the past few days, I've been getting daily prizes that are GT3 category cars that I'm not a fan of, or worse, ones that I already have. Apparently, a lot of people that play the game face this problem too. However, RNG was on my side today and managed to win an unexpected choice that caught me by surprise: a 1992 Ferrari F40! Also, I took a Formula 1 car for a spin, more specifically, a 2017 Mercedes AMG F1 W08 EQ Power+ (wow that's a mouthful) driven by Lewis Hamilton. As a fan of F1, I really like the inclusion even though it's five years old and that it was very dominant that year. Revving it up to 15k RPM well beyond the redline of 12k RPM sounds so nice, even though I'd probably kill the engine within seconds if it was real life lol.
