What Are You Happy About Today?

  • I'm feeling pretty good mentally today
  • I just checked iTunes and saw they have The Witcher seasons 1 and 2 soundtracks and I am so happy about that, I'm definitely getting them
  • I gave my kitty half a can of salmon pate and she really enjoyed it
  • Watched an episode of Lucifer today, I only have 2 more episodes left in season one so I'll probably finish it tonight then start season 2
  • Spent a lot of time reading, enjoying my book
  • Listening to some music right now
  • I played Calico for awhile today, such a cute relaxing game
 
I’m happy about a few more things today.

- I’m SO glad the San Francisco 49’ers beat the Packers. They may have taken out my team, but I don’t like the Packers at all so this is great. It was a long time coming. :LOL:
- The Dallas Mavericks are currently winning against the Memphis Grizzlies 48-34 at halftime. If they continue to hold on for the win, it will make them winners of 11 out of their last 13 games.
- No more morning shifts for the rest of the week! I’m so glad because it’s such a burden on my family and myself.
- I’m going to be seeing the newest Spider-Man movie with a friend soon.
- I’ve gotten back into playing Pokemon Masters EX and Fire Emblem Heroes.
- Looking forward to sleeping in.

:D
 
tried so hard today to have a good day, started out uneventful but my evening went really well! I spent yesterday evening and today playing Paper Mario 64 on my Wii while huddled up under my heated blanket with my dog and cat and it's been really great. it actually makes me genuinely happy which is hard for me to come by since I've been depressed for years.

also spent my late evening playing Animal Crossing GCN and that was a lot of fun even though Leopold stole 71,000 bells from me 😆😆😆
 
I have finally acquired a Moon Ball collectible thanks to @/LittleMissPanda. I’m happy to have this because I haven’t seen too many being sold. I used to have a Pokéball so long ago, but I don’t anymore. I honestly prefer the Moon Ball’s design and overall aesthetic, though, so I’m happy with this.
I just finished watching the AFC Divisional Round and it was a great game. I’m content with the results of both Divisional Rounds today, though!

(those last two minutes, though, that was crazy.)
I ordered Wendy’s through DoorDash because I’ve been craving a burger with a vanilla frosty. It has a bit of a delivery time, but I’ll be happy whenever it arrives. I also got chili cheese fries as the side.
I was called off work today again because it was really slow. I’m happy with the occasional call-offs, but my paychecks are going to suck… Thankfully, I do have an Ebay store to balance everything out.
The Los Angeles Kings won their hockey game today.
 
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!! 💕

(left to right, meet Benjie, Zephyr, Sterling, Juniper, and Grace!)
I know I'm a few days late to this, but I'm really happy for you that you finally managed to get your silver fox plushie! Reading your posts leading up to this point and being overjoyed by the cuteness of your fluffy animals is great to see. 😊

I didn't post here in a while because I actually got sick on Friday, so I wasn't active for a couple of days. Fortunately, it's been a steady recovery since and I'm feeling 90% better now!

January 21, 2022

  • Since I got sick during that day, I was unfortunately unable to participate in the Smash Bros. Ultimate friendlies session that @Mairmalade organized. However, I decided to join in anyway as a spectator so I could have something as background noise to take my mind off of my sickness. Aside from the latter half of the session, I didn't watch the battles, but I could still recognize the characters being used for that match. Your semi-spam tactics of electroshock and prominence revolt can't hide from my ears, @Midoriya, even when I was sick lol. I sincerely want to thank everyone who played Smash Bros. Ultimate that evening.
  • Glad to have my mother taking good care of me when I wasn't feeling too well, even though she was feeling a little under the weather too (also recovering well like me, thankfully). If not, I'd probably be feeling sick still.
January 22, 2022
  • Not a lot happened during this day, but me and my mother watched a couple of rough collie videos running around in a large field and playing with each other. I still can't get over how cute and fluffy they are.
January 23, 2022
  • Did some laundry.
  • Listened to music. You should REALLY give the Japanese Jazz/Fusion music genre a listen if you have a chance.
  • Played GT Sport. I completed some races, but I did something a little different compared to my usual play sessions. I went to scapes mode where you go to various scenes around the world to take pictures of your own cars. I usually don't spend a lot of time in this part of the game, but there's something fun setting things up and adjusting the camera settings to get the perfect shot. Anyway, as I skimmed through different scenes, I couldn't believe some of the locations that actually exist. For example, The Wave in Arizona. I don't know about you, but I'm amazed by the scenery!
 
I made some good progress in the post-game story of PMD: Blue Rescue Team! Cleared Mt. Faraway, Northern Range, and Pitfall Valley, and did a couple missions too.
Got some more reading in today and made some nice progress there too!
Also listened to another of the DQXI voice dramas!
 
I started off this morning by posting on the “what’s bothering you” thread about slipping into a brief depression. I felt overwhelmed and alone and I had forgotten how sensitive children can be to mood changes. Instead of sucking it up, I admitted to my son that I was feeling sad and out of sorts.
He disappeared for a short time and returns with this:
1E1F285B-6ABE-4A87-B0B0-3B8834ED80AD.jpeg

And he tells me “I still love you”.
Are you crying yet? I totally am.
😭
He is still struggling with school (I didn’t realize using scissors and reading were such vital skills in kindergarten), but when I see this, I remember why I’m here and what my mission is and what is worth waking up for. Time for bed so I can be my best self for tomorrow. 👍
 
was too exhausted to post last night what else is new lol and yesterday was a bit of a rough day, but i’ve still got a few things i’m happy about. :’)

cuddled with my kitten. <3
discovered some new favourite edits of one of my favourite fictional characters, as well as a new edit compilation on youtube.
continued watching sleepy hollow; i’m officially done s3! i really enjoyed it, though i’m sad that abbie died. i knew it was going to happen since i started watching (my dad spoiled it for me lol), but it still sucks.

Hi Shellzilla I hope you are starting to feel better! I saw you at the spectators booth and I felt bad you didn't feel like playing, I thought maybe you might have been having a bad day so you decided to watch. If anything I did when I was playing distracted you from your sickness, that would make my day! 🤗
Please take good care of yourself so you can recover soon! Stay safe <3
 
  • I did laundry finally, and now my kitty is laying on the warm laundry bag :)
  • One of my packages came today
  • I'm going to play The Witcher 3 for a few hours tonight
  • I made it to the Pokémon League in Pokémon Shining Pearl last night. Made it all the way through until Cynthia's last Pokémon, Garchomp, and it was so close to fainting then it literally knocked my last Pokémon out with one move. At least I know what to expect now, it has been so long since I played the originals so I forgot how difficult it would be. I didn't look anything up before I challenged the elite 4 and champion this time so I was really going into it blind. I'm going to work on my team, make some changes, level them up some more, etc then try again.
 
- I’m so glad the Dallas Mavericks ended up winning against the Memphis Grizzlies 104-91 yesterday. Next up are the Warriors tomorrow. It’s going to be a fun game to watch for sure.
- I did it! I have a new interview scheduled for Thursday for the job I want. I’m going to do everything I can in order to ace this.
- I love all of my friends and family so much. :giggle: 💚

Thanks, BrokenSanity! I am feeling a lot better today compared to a few days ago. Joining in to at least spectate to have some background noise as a distraction made my sickness much more bearable at the time. So in a way, yes, you distracted me from my sickness! I'm not entirely sure who you were playing as, but I heard Jigglypuff, Ridley, Dark Pit, Pyra & Mythra, and Mega Man duel it out in various matches. I kept hearing Ridley quickly self-destructing numerous times lol. I'll continue to keep myself in good health as it's really cold from where I live. Sweating and feeling cold at the same time is not fun. Thank you once again, and stay safe as well! 💙

I think you're gonna knock it out of the park, Midoriya, especially with the determination you have. You've worked hard for this!
 
Found some new art of one of my faves!
A lot of the snow here has melted, but there was still enough left for me to check out the animal tracks that were left overnight! Most seemed to be from (at least) one cat, but I did also find a deer print on the edge of a snowy patch! I always like following animal tracks in the snow, ahahaha~
Listened to another of the DQXI voice dramas! I followed along with this one pretty well, and I've been really enjoying the extra backstory details for the party members.
Finished up and submitted another entry for the Pokemon TCG Illustration Contest! No matter what the end results are, I'm happy that I gave this contest my best, and that I got a good opportunity to improve at drawing backgrounds! This was also my first time entering any sort of official contest like this, and I had a lot of fun with it. ^^
Also finished the post-game storyline for PMD: Blue Rescue Team! Ideally, I'd like to get to Lucario rank before calling this one done, but given that my DS has occasionally had trouble reading this cartridge (got it secondhand)... I'm just glad I was able to finish the story without my save corrupting or anything. ;v; It hasn't had trouble with it recently, so I'm hoping it'll hold out long enough. 🤞

Please tell me what the DQXI voice drama is about?? I tried to read about it online but it seems like no one has information on it? I also cold only find the Japanese one? Its not on the eshop but I think its because you said in an earlier happy day that it wasnt in the USA? IS THERE ONE FOR SERENA???? I LOVE HER CHARACTER!!! <3 Also are there only stories for the main characters of XI or are the ones for characters from past games like V?? Sorry for all the questions! But thank you so much again for being happy today!! <3 :D :)
