• 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?

- I’m really happy with my current aesthetic.
- My call went well and now I’ll hear back by early next week if they want to move forward with me or not in the hiring process.
- The Dallas Mavericks play the Phoenix Suns tonight. The Suns are the number one team in the west, so it will be incredibly difficult to beat them. I‘m just glad I’ll be able to watch the game though!
- Despite being tired, I’m relatively calm right now and looking forward to having a relaxing day. :giggle:
 
I baked some fruit and nut museli scones today! They were delicious, I ate 2 with strawberry jam, clotted cream, and lemon + ginger tea 🥰 Baking is a hobby of mine but I haven't baked anything since October, so glad I was able to do some today!

My package has also arrived England now and should be delivered tonight or tomorrow :)
 
finally got back into drawing again yesterday, and despite still being frustrated at skills i lack, im really happy with my improvement and proud of my hard work. im still trying to figure out how i want my drawings to look and overcoming the basic challenges in art, but i made a cute lil chibi base and im just so happy and proud :') going to mess around with it some later and possibly open up a few tbt comms if i can finish something im satisfied with. i would love to have art become my primary source of income in the future, but for the past few months practicing has just been really discouraging for me since i just hate on everything i draw most of the time so im really happy i pushed through and made a bit more progress! i know art is about the journey and learning about and expressing yourself, but sometimes its hard to appreciate what youve accomplished when youre looking so far ahead you know? gonna keep practicing and hopefully continue to see improvement :3
 
two things:

1. I've steered my attention away from the disco ball egg (for now, I seriously doubt anyone is gonna sell me one anytime soon though I still really want one) and I've started hunting for a final boss feather! I realized today that the coloring reminds me a lot of a silver fox (like the ones in my avatar/signature) so I want it for that, plus it's one of the only gradient feathers I'm still missing. here's hoping I can find it! 🤞

2. my husky plush came today and while he doesn't look exactly like the Webkinz Signature, he's so cute I don't even care that he doesn't! he's literally brand new so his fur is perfectly soft, I had to brush it out a bit with a comb because he came in a bag so his fur was kinda messy. but it's so beautiful now and I'm really happy I can add him to my collection!!
(he also came from the UK and I was worried about there being defects, luckily there are none!)

Not happy about much today. My beautiful old snuggly dog died last weekend and I'm sad without her. However, I'm grateful to still have my goofy cat. My cat is about 9 years old, so I hope to have more years with her.
I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your dog. I hope you can find comfort in the memories you shared with her.

Today I'm happy because:
- I made it through a very busy work day and actually managed to accomplish a few things despite all the meetings.
- I've been feeling better lately, both mentally from my anxiety and physically with my back pain.
- The snow is really starting to melt now. We might be able to get out of the driveway this weekend.
- My dog snuggled with me on the couch tonight while we watched TV.
- I'm really enjoying the new book I'm reading and looking forward to reading some more tonight.
 
I didn't post yesterday because not a lot happened, but I'll combine a couple of them to today's post:
  • Feel free to skip this point. While I was driving to pick up my mother from work, I saw a fourth-generation Chevrolet Camaro for the first time! After completing an errand, I was driving through the neighborhood where I used to go to elementary school. Not only it is nostalgic, but I saw a third-generation Chevrolet Camaro in the process. That's two different Camaros in one day!
  • I played GT Sport and had a few funny moments from the AI crashing into each other lol. Anyway, I did a few time trial sessions here and there and (virtually) bought a 1991 Mazda 787B. Wow, they REALLY improved the engine noises for this race car compared to previous games. Just listening to it at almost 10k RPM while driving on a long straight gives me goosebumps!
  • I finally finished my art! I liked how it turned out as I'm starting to get the hang of shading. :) It's also done to brush up my skills again since I haven't drawn stuff for a few weeks prior to doing it.
  • Completed some things in real life, even though they're small and insignificant.
  • Today was another clear sunny day! I'm starting to realize that I just get really happy when I see the sun, especially during sunrise or sunset, whether it'd be in real life or in a video game.
 
Finally was able to get restocked on some teas—including a couple I don't think I've had in nearly two years, oolong and darjeeling. ;v; Just in time, too, since I'd just finished off the last of the Emergency Tea Stash.
My younger cat was being exceptionally cute during our morning snuggle 😭 He kept making biscuits in the air (and nearly rolling out of my lap).
 
^ thank you again, I got him to remind me of my mom since she loves sloths 🥰

my silver fox plush was estimated to be delivered this Monday, but last night I got an update that it left the Columbus Dist Center at like 8pm and today it's out for delivery here!! my son is coming home today 😭
 
- Great day at work. And it's Friday! This week's been a drag.
- Found a dress of my dreams.. close enough at a vintage store for a good price
😭 I'm so happy.
- Managed to successfully transfer Switch system and save data thanks to help from jefflomacy. You saved my life there.
 
Had a nice Friday! My jumper got delivered and it's perfect 😍 I got the grade back for my essay and I got another 80, and was happy I got some constructive feedback on it this time! Then went into town with my mum to run some errands and had a late lunch, I got a stack of buttermilk pancakes w/ banana, greek yoghurt, and berry compote, plus an iced coffee 😋
 
I won an Ebay auction for a new NHL hat. It was only $8 and that’s including shipping. I only have one hockey hat, so it’s great to add another.
I got called off work today because it was slow.
I shipped out a package and updated the tracking information with Ebay, so I should be getting paid soon from them.
I caught up on sleep. I went to sleep early last night and slept in a bit after getting called off. It felt nice.
 
I turned i my two weeks with a not very nice person I’m excited to not have to be there anymore. I put up with it for an entire year and I wish I had done it two weeks ago. I’m also filling out a case note on her so others can be warned before taking her on. I’d like to say that maybe she would appreciate and wish she would have treated me better after being passed around a lot after this which will definitely happen, but I doubt it.
 
  • I took a shower today and feel refreshed and I'm going to start doing some skin care stuff in the mornings since I want to start taking better care of myself
  • I gave my kitty half a can of salmon pate wet food tonight and she really enjoyed it
  • Took a nap with my kitty, naps with her really are the best ❤️
  • Did the dishes finally
  • I'm enjoying a cappuccino while listening to a Pokemon podcast
  • I requested a Zelda signature from a member here today in the museum subforum so I'm excited to see how that turns out :)
 
GUYS GUYS GUYS STERLING IS HERE AND HE'S SO PRECIOUS AHHHHHH

I knew this plush would be big but 20" long in person is still a very surprising size for a plushie! his fur is ever so slightly coarse in texture but it's also soft so it's like realistic fur. and just look at the detailing on it! I cannot get over this guy, I've been carrying him around for like the last 2 hours an I can't put him down for more than a few minutes lol. he's gonna be my new snuggle buddy! 🥰

with that, I've gotten all the plushies that I splurged on with my last paycheck. I didn't mean to spend that much and when I got my pay again yesterday I put most of it into my savings account so I can't spend it. but I'm so happy with all these plushies, I don't regret buying any of them!! 💕
