What Are You Happy About Today?

mainly posting this to distract myself from the fact that i’m at the doctor’s right now LOL, but i had an okay day yesterday. :>

continued watching sleepy hollow; i’ve started on s4, and so far it’s more enjoyable than i was expecting it to be!
cuddled with my kitten. <3
did some self-care.
started playing subway surfers again a few days ago for some reason lol, and yesterday i finally earned enough coins to unlock a character i wanted. :’)

I did also find a deer print on the edge of a snowy patch!

this makes me happier than it probably should lol. i love deers so much. 😭

today is my dog's second birthday so I got him a new toy and some cookies (made specifically for dogs) and he loved them. he makes me so happy 🥰

i hope he has a wonderful birthday!! 🥺🎉
 
  • A sequel to the game Cattails was announced today, Cattails: Wildwood Story, I'm excited for it! I highly recommend the original Cattails if you like cats, it's a fun game
  • I slept good
  • I feel really good mentally :)
  • I'm hanging out with my friend tomorrow so I'm looking forward to that, it's been a few months since we've hung out
  • Enjoying some coffee right now
  • Have some time to relax and play games, read, watch Netflix today
 
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 :)
Yep, it's a Japan-only DLC for the Definitive Edition, unfortunately; I really wish it had gotten an English release too. ;; Most of them are 30-45 minute audiobook-style stories about the DQXI party members' pasts; although there's also a couple about some of the other characters outside the main party (still seems to be just characters from XI though), and some sillier group stories too (like one where the party took part in a poetry contest in Octagonia). I know a little Japanese, so I'm usually able to get the general idea of the stories, but I'm definitely missing a few parts here and there. I haven't listened to this one yet, but there is one that's about Serena and Veronica as children! I love Serena too, hehe! 💚
No prob, I hope I was able to answer everything okay! ^^ And thank you, that's really sweet!

THAT SOUNDS AMAZING
 
not enough happens in a day that makes me happy to justify posting here lol, so i figured i'd mention some things that have happened in general since i last posted.

the pins my sister and i ordered arrived! we bought five each, since they were super reasonably priced, and i really like mine. they're super cute! (and mostly cat-themed.)
i attended my [redacted] appointment. they always make me nervous even though i've been going to them for years, but i suppose that just goes to show you how irrational and hard to control anxiety can be. i'm glad to have gotten it out of the way though!
i took the plunge and ordered some period underwear. just the one pair for now, since you can refund your first purchase entirely. hopefully they fit. a lot of reviewers said they ended up buying a size up, so i did the same, but if they really don't fit (since my proportions are all over the place), my nan might be able to help with that.
finally did some writing for the first time in a while! i have terrible writer's block 95% of the time and tend to just daydream/think about my ideas/scenarios instead of actually writing them, but my brain suddenly just started writing mentally in the dead of night, so i jumped to actually write it down lol. i wrote 1.3k in total, which is pretty good for me!
my girlfriend should hopefully be coming tomorrow? fingers crossed. she won't get here until the evening, since she has an interview in the morning and has to finish work, but that doesn't matter. hopefully nothing goes wrong at the last minute because i don't know if i can wait much more than 17 months lol.
i prepared my journal for february (i have sleep, mood, habit and med trackers for each month) which is super in advance for me! usually i wait until a day or two before the next month, but i was almost a week ahead this time.
my sister and i stopped by game the other day just to look, and we saw the series two AC tomodachi dolls on the shelf! they're super cute! we ended up buying two each (i got francine and chrissy, she got kk and raymond), and i also bought three on my girlfriend's behalf (she also got francine and chrissy as well as wolfgang). they were only £6 each, and you don't see a lot of AC merch here, so i'm really happy with the purchase!
even if it did mean putting back the vulpix plush i was gonna buy lol.
 
This is such a small thing, but I finally got around to cleaning my phone up. I deleted some apps in general that were taking up room and organized some of the apps. It looks more minimalistic now and it makes my life easier.
That hat that I won in an auction was shipped out last night. It took a few days to get mailed out. I’m not fussing over the shipping delay, though. There were times I didn’t get things mailed out immediately, and I don’t know their situation, but I’m just happy my new hat is on the way.
I got to see Keagan this morning and he had a doggy ice cream, and once again, he ate it in one bite. It’s one of those ice cream cups for dogs. I don’t understand how this dog doesn’t get brain freezes??
He must be immune.
I’m just having a good day in general. I slept in today and since I’m feeling motivated, I’ll see about running the vacuum later this evening.
 
Yesterday for my b-day I went shopping at the hardware store and got a bunch of new fun lookin plants

Today, my actual b-day, I had Arbys since forever ago and got to go shopping at a crystal store, so I got more crystals. Later today we're goin to a restruaunt for dinner.

Also my parents just surprised me with a big Peacock🦚 stuffed animal and a T-shirt with Loki on it, one of my fav Marvel characters

Happy Birthday to your dog as well! Sounds like he had an awesome day!

Today I'm happy because:
- It was a much better day than yesterday in general.
- I got all of my important work done.
- I've had almost no back pain all day.
- I get to leave work early tomorrow for a massage therapy appointment.
- My dog cuddled with me on the couch this evening and acted like the cutie he is.
 
Had a short, easy shift at work today compared to yesterday, and I got back home just to sleep and boy did I sleep. I'm also happy that it's been snowing recently.

I'm happy to be off work tomorrow. Being off Wednesdays just feels so good than being off Sundays, mainly because I get to have plenty off time to myself to just draw or watch a show I really like 🙏🏽💖 on the weekends we usually have company over or we have errands to run. That's never fun lol
 
i’m absolutely exhausted, but i had a good day today! ☺

cuddled with my kitten. <3

one of my favourite fanfic writers published a new story today, and i enjoyed it!
the doctor’s appointment that i scheduled last week was today! i was honestly pretty anxious about it, but it thankfully went well and the doctor was really nice! here’s hoping the new meds she prescribed will help me. 🤞🏻
after my appointment, my mom and i stopped by dollarama and i picked up a few things!
i got this owl clip. i’m not sure what i’m gonna do with him or where i’m gonna put him, but he was too cute to pass up. :’)

i also got a fake mini frog succulent! again, i have no idea what his purpose will be, but i love him.

got some regular and puffy stickers! i’ll probably use some of them to decorate my switch lite.

i also got some chocolate, bottles of voltage mountain dew and a pair of scissors (which i’ve been needing for months), but i didn’t take any pics of those aha.
on our way home, my mom and i went to dairy queen and i got a milkshake and pretzel sticks. i also tried their rotisserie-style chicken bites for the first time (my mom ordered them), and they’re pretty good!
did some self-care.
watched the new episode of 1000 lb sisters that aired yesterday, and continued watching sleepy hollow.
watched a few tiktoks that made me laugh.
discovered 2 new favourite edits of one of my favourite tv shows, as well as 2 new favourite videos on youtube.
 
The music CDs I ordered arrived today! I'm glad they got here safe and that I now have a few more songs I like on my MP3!
I'm happy with the progress I've been making in my New Leaf town! I've still got to work on how I want the flowers/a few more interior room designs, but I think it's coming along quite nicely.
Did some more missions in PMD: Blue Rescue Team and also got the Bonsly statue! Which... I definitely could've gotten much earlier in the game, but oh well. 😅 I totally forgot the Makuhita Dojo existed. orz
 
a few things:
- talked with my doctor and for now he's recommending that I up my dose on the anti-depressant I'm taking. hopefully it helps, if not I need to talk to him again soon to possibly try a different medication.
- I ordered the Mayflash gamecube controller adapter, it should be here by Friday. I would love to be able to use it with Project64 and Super Mario Sunshine on 3D All-Stars so I'm excited for this!
- finally stopped snowing here so the streets are clearing up, I don't mind driving in snow too much but I wish it would melt cause I have chunks of icy snow stuck behind my front wheels lol. I think it's supposed to warm up outside soon so that'll be nice.
- so grateful for my dog, I would be so much more lonely if I didn't have him here with me. he's such a fantastic ESA <333
- also have to mention just one more time that I absolutely love this silver fox plushie. idk what makes some plushies click for me but this one is perfect in every way.
 
my day is unfortunately ending on a rough note, but it was still a good day for the most part. :’)

cuddled with my kitten. <3
had an over-the-phone doctor’s appointment this morning, and it went well! it was brief, but i got all the information i needed for the doctor i saw yesterday.
my mom ordered pizza hut for lunch. we tried their creamy chicken alfredo, breadsticks and hershey’s brownies, all of which were good! we also watched family feud while we ate and laughed quite a bit.
my amazing friend @Blink. surprised me with some adorable art and i am,, still speechless over it lol. like, i’ve stared at it at least once every hour since i received it. 😭💗
ily blink. <3

despite not feeling well, mazikeen (my other kitten) gave me a few kisses on my finger. 🥺
continued watching sleepy hollow.
tidied up my room a bit, and helped my mom tidy up the kitchen.
my dad gave me permission to drink the rest of his mint chocolate baileys! there was only like, a mouthful left lol, but it was still delicious. :’)
