What Are You Happy About Today?

[Foreverfox]

I think it's called an apple pen? I actually had to google the Ipencil and that was what came up. Glad you're getting your goodies! Especially with how the carriers have been having difficulty delivering on time or at all.


Overall today was fine. Work was busy, but manageable and everything went well enough.

I was browsing through my pictures I took last year and I found some I took of the work I did on my gardens and came across this. Since the weather is finally breaking from the bitter cold and it's getting warmer, I'm excited to get out and start preparing my gardens.

I turnip a profit.

Yes haha I had to look at the box after and saw that it said Apple Pencil lol I'm a Samsung person, so my last iThing was the meaty 4GB iPod with a click wheel (man that wheel was so satisfying) back in like, 2001 lol

Btw, nice turnip profit

If I sat completely still, I didn't feel pain today. That doesn't happen too often. So maybe tonight I'll get some good sleep . If not, well at least rest times between tasks was nice for today.
My allergy or cold symptoms are almost gone.
My fluffy dog has been extra cuddly with me lately when I'm feeling kinda anxious.

Today I'm happy because the weather was nice and warm. The squirrels and birds were out and about whenever I went outside to walk my dog.

• I cleaned and organized my apartment
• Played The Witcher 3 for a couple hours. Finished The Devil by the Well quest. Then went to Novigrad just to check out the city and I am in love with the soundtrack there. I love this game, it's so beautiful and so immersive.
• Watched a movie
• Had a good day

I started to play Tekken 7 again today and managed to get a 15-win streak before losing, winning through sheer luck at times. Would be nice if I got a higher one next time, but let's see about that.

I watched a few episodes of Detective Conan and the first movie just a while ago. I enjoyed it very much and plan to continue watching more tomorrow.

Got these baby mushrooms

my day is sadly ending on an unpleasant note, but the majority of my day was pretty good!!

• a few lovely people messaged me on here to compliment my new spring/easter aesthetic! i honestly love my new aesthetic so much, and the fact other people are liking it, too makes me so happy!!
• cuddled with alize, and she rubbed her head against my face and let me kiss her head again.
• watched a tiktok that made me laugh.
• satisfied a craving i was having and had harvey’s for dinner! my food was very good, and i also tried their salted caramel milkshake for the first time! the flavour was pretty good, but i wasn’t a huge fan of the salt (i think?) chunks in it.
• thought i had ran all out of something, but i found an extra of it in my cupboards! that was definitely the highlight of my day. :’D

 

[.: Meri :.]

Had a pretty terrible night's sleep last night, which definitely put a bit of a damper on my mood today, but I'm still happy about a couple things!
☾ I got everything I wanted from the Buccanham casino in DQVII! Got some really good equipment from the matching card game too, so I think the party's probably going to be set for a while.
☾ I've done some work on a new pfp and signature!! ^^ I'm excited to start using them next month, although I still need to try to work out a lineup to go with it.

I haven't visited this thread in at least a couple of days, so my apologies in advance for absolutely destroying your notifications with my reactions lol.

• Reading through all the posts in this thread to catch up. It's really awesome that there are so many things that can make us happy. @Foreverfox, I'll be upfront by saying that I laughed pretty hard when you called the apple pen an iPencil LOL. It's okay, it happens to the best of us.
• Just generally having a good time driving in real life while listening to music, even though waaaay too many people drive like absolute maniacs. I'll never take it for granted getting home safely with the car intact. Some guy in their Dodge Grand Caravan from a distance behind me decided to keep going straight on the lane I was switching into despite signaling well in advance. If I didn't check my blind spot, I would've gotten into an accident for sure. This is one of the many reasons why I check my mirrors and blind spot before changing lanes.
• I had baked salmon and baked potatoes for dinner! It will always be yummy to me.
• I managed to take care of something for my mother. Assuming it will go all right, it would definitely save us a headache having to go somewhere in person, so I'm glad that's out of the way.
• Spoiler: Something something about Gran Turismo 7

  I played Gran Turismo 7! I'll be brutally honest here, there are some issues in the game that's made me raise my eyebrows and soured my experience somewhat. I'm hoping the devs will address them because I truly want the game to be the best it can be coming from a long-time fan of the series. You keep hearing me say positive things about Gran Turismo, but I have my criticisms! Anyway, for the strong points it's got right, I'm definitely having a blast. Having the option to install a widebody kit on a 2009 Toyota Prius G is pretty hilarious. Yes, it's actually in the game. I also managed to import my Animal Crossing-themed livery from GT Sport, so I didn't have to start from scratch aside from minor retouching! I golded some tough licence tests as well and it felt accomplishing. Finally, the menu music, especially when I'm browsing the (virtual) dealerships. A few sound like you'd hear in a clothing store, except they're actually pleasant to listen to (in my opinion)! I've been listening to them in the past couple of days, even though a couple of them are in languages I can't understand lol. If I had to choose one, I'd suggest Take You Higher by LEISURE. Nice vibes all around.
• I'm excited that the first race of the 2022 Formula 1 season will start this weekend! The pre-season tests are interesting as teams are dealing with 'porpoising'. To simply put, it means that the cars bounce up and down quickly on long straights and even grind the ground at times. I wonder how teams try to solve that problem going forward. I already heard that a few solved the issue and it'll be interesting how the results will turn out in the race.

I got the job

Woohoo job hopping

 

[Alienfish]

Got that other manga magazine issue in the mail today! It also came with some Gakuen Alice fridge magnets so that was cute

Afternoons are finally starting to be warm enough so you can walk to the train rather than having to take the bus a few stops, felt nice and healthy!

Had a hectic past 2 days tbh, but I've got everything mostly sorted out now...

- My dog suddenly got very ill a couple days ago, so I took him to the vet yesterday and I'm really glad they were immediately able to diagnose him and get him on the right medication so he should hopefully start getting better soon I was worried it would take a few days for them to figure out what was wrong and get him medicine, but they sorted it out immediately!

- I had my hospital appointment today and had to have a blood test...I've got a phobia of blood/veins but managed to get it over with, so I'm taking that as a win

- Basically, I'm happy all of that is over and I can relax for the rest of the week!

Not that it makes me overly happy, but I like that it's a possibility that we will stop having to go back and forth with Daylight savings when and if this bill is passed. It won't be until next year, but better late than never. It was always a pain in the butt having to change all the clocks twice a year.

I really don't know why it took them so long to come to this point. I heard that they tried this back in the 1970s and apparently they went right back to DST switching. So who knows, maybe this will be a repeat. But I hope it sticks this time.

 

[Shiny Shiny Engine]

finished a trackmaster (thomas the tank engine) layout after 2 weeks
its alright i guess

 

[LadyDestani]

I'm happy about a few things today:

- I slept a tiny bit better last night after not sleeping well since the time changed.
- The weather this afternoon when I took my dog on a walk was warm and sunny.
- I treated myself to a Frosty from Wendy's tonight for dessert.

Today was up and down a lot for me, but ended on a positive note.

- I took care of things at home.
- I had my third day of work and really, really enjoyed it. I feel like this particular job has given me a sense of purpose going forward.
- @Foreverfox The Dallas Mavericks are 26-8 since this year started. They were trailing against the Brooklyn Nets the whole game, and even when they got the lead the Nets would take it back. Well, with time expiring in the fourth quarter Dinwiddie shot another game-ending three, a buzzer beater to win it 113-111. I was sitting down looking glum so much before that, I got so excited when he won it for us again (I ended up ugly crying down my hallway because it reminds me how I don't believe enough). There is no quit in this team. They're fighting for every possession, every shot, in every game.

Same here! I was soo mad they were losing like THE WHOLE TIME! I turned it off in the 3rd quarter, I couldn't watch. You've taught me a valuable lesson, my friend - to have more faith!

Happy today because I’m getting a fresh start with my Switch and the games I want to play again and I’m now just gonna be myself and be happy with what I got. I’ve been trying so hard the last three years to grow my bangs out, but it’s now obvious, that’s not what I wanted to do after all. So like I said, just gonna be happy with what I got. It will be awhile before I get my long hair again, but at least now I can leave my bangs alone and let the longer part of my hair grow back. ^-^

It's been a pretty good day for me today technically yesterday!

• I started making another drawing! I've been randomly recommended some art tips on Youtube and I now realize why my drawings 'lean' over so much. I'll definitely look out when I'm making this drawing in hopes to conquer it! Flipping the images can help.
• I played Gran Turismo 7 and did some mission challenges. One of them involves going as far as you can with very low fuel. I find it fun going over 8km in the distance while accelerating in low revs and coasting downhill wherever I can in a car that's inefficient in fuel. You could say it's a good practice trying to save gas in real life considering the prices right now lol.
• I went on a small car stroll.
• I cooked dinner for my family.
• This final point is the highlight of the day for me. I watched the movie Turning Red with my sister and mother after hearing so many good things about it! I've enjoyed the movie throughout and laughed a lot. I also recognize some of the subtle references such as the Ontario licence plate, Tim Hortons Timbits (birthday cake in particular I think), and the old Canadian $5 bills. Those who live in Toronto might recognize some more references related to the city! I gotta say, it easily became one of my favourite movies to watch since the storyline felt refreshing, different, and somewhat relatable in a way, minus turning into a giant red panda obviously lol.

☾ I was able to find out the name of a game from my early childhood—The Adventures of Bleeposaurus: Dragonfire! I never had the full game, I just remember playing the demo on Nickolodeon over and over as a kid LOL I also found a playthrough on Youtube that I watched while taking care of some work, and it was a fun little nostalgia trip to go down.
☾ Also, I finally put all my collectibles into a Word document so I could organize lineups better, and I'm so glad I did?? ;v; It's so much easier than just scrolling up and down my inventory and trying to visualize; I can't believe I didn't do this sooner.
