What Are You Happy About Today?

  • I finally got some good sleep!
  • My kitty greeted me when I got home last night, I think she was really happy to see me because I'm not normally gone that many hours. I woke up this morning to her laying on me purring and kissing my nose :)
  • I started watching an anime called Komi Can't Communicate, it's really good!
  • I'm going to play some ACNH today, hoping to get motivated to decorate some homes in HHP and work on my island some more.
  • I'm going to spend some time reading today

@Merielle Never thought I'd see someone mentioning DQVII here. It's got really retro graphics, but I've enjoyed the game for what it is. I played it originally on the Playstation, but was too young to really understand it so it was nice to replay it on the 3DS. How far in the game are you?

I'm really enjoying it so far myself! ^^ I'm a big fan of the series; hoping to finish up all the localized main and side games before XII releases. Which is still quite a ways off, I imagine. I'm around 16 hours in or so; just got through the part where Kiefer leaves the party. Kinda knew it was coming due to the Tickington quests in XI, but still, oof.

Today I'm happy because:

- I slept longer and better last night and got to sleep in this morning.
- I didn't have to work today.
- Even though it snowed today, it didn't stick to anything and the weather is supposed to warm up again soon.
- I've been a bit depressed the past few days, but I started feeling better again today.
- I had a nice day at home with my husband and my dog.
- My dog cuddled with me while we watched the Super Bowl.
 
  • Went to work and had a really nice day.
  • My Airpods came in the mail today! And tomorrow I'll be receiving my package from the Sanrio store <:
    (This is the stuff I purchased from the Sanrio store; My Melody Shoulder Bag | Pompompurin Lunch Container | Hello Kitty Face Masks!!! | Pochacco Floral Tote Bag ! Since I spent over $50 USD, I get a free lil' FoTM (friend of the month) mascot clip! The FoTM is Pochacco, my second favorite Sanrio character!)
  • I took a shower.
  • The seller I bought the Squishmallow, 'Noodles' off of shipped him today! I can't wait to get him ;v; Noodles, btw
  • My hair feels nice and soft because I washed it.
  • I got to eat buffalo chicken dip because today was the Superbowl B) We had a ton of good snacks and food to eat today!
  • My birthday is in 11 days! Almost 10! I'm sooo excited!!!
 
ON ALL OF MY SCHOOL LESSONS TODAY I GOT A 100% ON EVERY QUIZ!!!! ITS A HAPPY VALENTINES DAY :D 💯🏫
I also baked Valentines Day cookies with my mother!! 💖🍪
I am drawing some more fun things! 🖌🖼
I finished some more Aquabeads crafts. 🔴🟠🟡🟢🔵🟣🟤⚫⚪
My Nanna sent me this ADORABLE little card for valentines day and it had a bunny on it! Whats even better is that half of it is uncolored so that you can color it!!! (Bunny's are my favorite animal so I dont know why I like Keroppi more than My Melody or the Sugarbunnies lol) 🐇
My father wants me to paint this backyard sign with my paints! 🎨
IN THE GROCERY STORE PICK UP MY PARENTS BOUGHT ME CHEX MIX 🥨
 
i finished one of three assignments that are due this friday. i still might have to call out of work on friday so i can finish the other two which are bigger assignments than this one, but at least it is a start? i'm trying to not get too stressed out but i will probably be working on them all day every day until friday. oh well

also i managed to be okay with a lower step count than usual this week so i don't have to compulsively walk for 2 hours every day. light exercise is good but it is stressful when it becomes a must and takes up so much time. i don't have a lot of big wins when it comes to that topic so this feels better

AND a third thing.... there's a huge discount on my favorite energy drink this week at a grocery store close to me. <<333 love that for me. anyway i bought twelve cans and no i don't regret it, now i feel happy knowing i won't have to spend much more money on one can when i need it. my pantry may look like a energy drink obsessed prepper's pantry but at least i have happiness.
 
Just received a parcel in the mail from my girlfriend with five Valentine's themed bath bombs, soap, body conditioner, and shower gel from Lush (one of my favourite shops) with a very sweet message. 🖤

I wasn't expecting a gift - especially not through the mail, as we had plans for dinner this evening. Although I unfortunately had to cancel on short notice today because I was told at the hospital this morning that I need to self-isolate effective immediately. If anything I should be receiving the 'world's worst boyfriend' award right now rather than presents. About 20 minutes before this arrived I told her she should use the booking anyway and take her flatmate out, especially as it's non-refundable, so in hindsight I'm pleased I did that even though it certainly doesn't compare to her generosity. 😅
 
i went to bed exhausted and my boyfriend was super nice and not only let me sleep in, but also made me breakfast in bed for valentines day. we have some household chores to do today so i was originally going to get up early with him, however the extra sleep and the nice food made me feel so happy when i woke up <3
 
I had an absolutely awful weekend but today (Monday) was surprisingly nice despite some bad weather. I had a good day at university and a nice text conversation with my dad, found out he might be coming home from hospital tomorrow night! (he was kept there for a few days because they needed to do tests and monitor his heart 🙁)

I've accidentally developed a Monday routine that I enjoy, I get to uni early, grab a Starbucks coffee and study the extra reading for 2 hours before going to class, then eat lunch before heading home, having a bath, and watching the new Euphoria episode 🥰
 
Today I:
- Bought some tulips for my mom and a box of goldfish crackers for my nephew.
- Gave my niece an astrology mug and a chocolate bar.
-Finished dipping the strawberries and marshmallows in chocolate. Oooo, I can’t wait to see how they came out😋
-Texted my dad wishing him a happy Valentines day.
 
- got to go to Goodwill in a different city and though their selection of stuffed animals was limited today I found a Webkinz Schnauzer with an unused code!!
- my evening has been nice and quiet and pain-free for once
- been sleeping relatively well the past few nights, still not great but better than I have been
- I think I know how I can bring my WIP drawing from Medibang over to Clip Studio Paint so I can finish the shading there
- I found a great GIF of a Whomp in SM64 that I want to use as my avatar lol
- also finding lately that I'm not as embarrassed about my interests, idk what changed in me but it feels really nice to be able to indulge in what I love without feeling like it's weird or whatever
(edit: I think it may be due to my desire to start validating myself and not relying on others for validation)
- I love my golden pupper <3333

Quite a few happy things today!
  • I cleaned the washroom in my house, so it's clean once more. Can't wait to clean it in a couple of weeks again lol.
  • I took a nap. I was feeling a little weak before, but just having a shut-eye for a bit made me better. In fact, I felt a little happier when I woke up!
  • My mom gave me and my sister some brownies! It's not much, but I appreciate what she's done. I'm happy to have a mother who loves the two of us so much regardless of the time of year. 💙
  • I played a lot online in GT Sport. I entered a few open lobbies where people just cruise and do whatever they want. In one lobby, we all met up in our 90s Japanese cars to cruise together with my Honda S2000 in the Animal Crossing livery I created over a week ago and it felt awesome. In another lobby, many were driving different types of cars from different years. People were out there setting a lap time in their race cars, one vibin' in their Dodge Charger, one cruising in their everyday road car, one driving a classic Lamborghini, and another trundling along in their Volkswagen Sambabus LOL. The diversity of cars in a single lobby is amazing. It's kinda like Smash Bros. for the automotive world.
  • Staying on the topic of GT Sport, I participated in an online race event involving GT3 category cars and had a close battle for first place with someone from Brazil for a few laps. My skills were pretty similar to theirs as my racecraft, awareness, and race pace were put to the test. I eventually went into the first position, but I had to put in consistent times to maintain my gap from the Brazilian driver behind, and on a controller too. We congratulated each other after the race and went on with my day. To simply put, this kind of racing I've experienced is exhilarating knowing that I can be a competent racer and have great battles. This short period of online being free will be over very soon, but I'm very glad to have a lot of fun participating in races and chilling in cruise lobbies.
  • I cooked spaghetti for dinner! It tasted very yummy with cheese and my mother liked it too. 💙
