What Are You Happy About Today?

  • I got my new glasses today and I really like them!
  • Got to see my sister, and she said she's bringing me her cat Maybelle on Thursday (her cat is going to live with me from now on since she is moving somewhere that doesn't allow pets)
  • My cat is being sweet, she woke me up by licking my nose lol
 
- Finally got my cute bag to put my Tamagotchi in
- We bought some vegetable plants and flower seeds
- My custom Tamagotchi Pix turned out way better than I thought
- Baby didn't finish her compot, which means I was able to finish it and it's a flavor I love 🤣
 
Today at work my bosses dog was walking around the shop, front and back area (I work in the back). He is so frickin precious I love him! He would constantly sit under the counter by my feet as I worked on dogs💜

Also at work, there was a bulldog. Normally I don't like bulldogs, all the ones that come here (which is like, 3 or 4, not many) are either dog aggressive or are just weird in some way. Not a cute weird either. But THIS bulldog was different, he was very sweet and gave lots of kisses. He also wasn't fussy when I was drying him off or when he was gettin his nails clipped.
 
we're getting our AC units put back in the windows, which is nice bc it's supposed to be 81 again tomorrow. summer is inching closer!!
worked on my story some more, trying to flesh out my characters a bit and think of some interesting character dynamics that could make the story more personable. I like to write a lot of emotion into my stories :)
@/King koopa drew a pic for me with a thwomp, kirby who had apparently eaten a thwomp, and a whomp who had unfortunately fallen into a lagoon, looking absolutely pathetic 😂 [here's the pink to the pic!]
I updated my drawing ideas document and color coded it so I could more easily see which projects I have and haven't done.
it was really nice outside today, which I appreciate after it's been literally freezing for about a week.
every day I'm getting closer to getting a rad feather and finally finishing my gradient feather lineup! 🤞
forgot to mention this but a few days ago I finally got my new phone! It's a Samsung Galaxy S21 FE and it's pretty sweet, Pokemon GO and Pocket Camp load really fast compared to my old phone. only thing I don't like about it is it has no headphone jack but I've been continuing to use my old phone for music. I ordered a clear case for it and it should be here on Monday 😁

edit: one more thing, my friend (whom I met about a month and a half ago) asked to hang out w me tomorrow, I haven't seen them in like a month and it's supposed to be nice outside again tomorrow so that'll be great!!

I didn't have time to come on here and post yesterday, so these are the things that made me happy over the past two days.

- The weather has been beautiful and warm. It's really starting to feel like spring.
- I've slept deeply and well the past two nights. I think I've finally worked out the kinks with my medicine and figured out the best time to take it.
- I got to see my niece and nephews again yesterday! My youngest nephew was feeling better (he was sick when we visited on Wednesday) and it brings me so much joy when he comes running up to me smiling his adorable smile. He told me I was beautiful and made a play-doh version of me and drew me a picture of a pterodactyl. I spent a lot of time playing with him and my niece. I love the older boys too and made sure to spend some time with each of them, but they're at the age where they're a bit more independent and like to spend a lot of time on their electronics.
- I'm off work for the weekend and had a nice, relaxing day today.
- I finally got a chance to start watching Bridgerton season 2.
- My dog has missed me all week so he's been super sweet and loving today.
- I bought some Oreo ice cream cones at the grocery store because I was craving ice cream. I hope they're good.
 
Still am having issues with getting out of bed & depression, but today ended up being pretty good.

When I woke up, I found Spanky sleeping on my bed with me ☺️.

I caught Spanky sleeping on the floor earlier so I moved her in the tent. My mom agreed she will look for this blanket she made my dolls when I was a kid so I can cover her next time ☺️; i put a toy in there tor her to use as a pillow.

She came on my bed later and I ended up taking a nap with her ☺️.

Right now, I’m happy that I’m working on my drawing again. I really want to be done with this part of the drawing soon but I refuse to rush it. This drawing is a really huge test of my patience 😅, which I really normally don’t have a lot of.

My mom made rice with an Indian chicken sauce tonight - no chicken just the sauce, and it was so delicious. It was also nice to have the house to just me and her all day and evening until about an hour ago, though we both think it is too soon for my dad to go back to work :/.
 
First off, I want to apologize for obliterating many people's notifications here haha. I haven't been as active in the past couple of days, so I'll just combine the stuff all together that's happened since.
  • Feel free to skip this point. While driving home, I may have seen a Porsche Carrera 911 (964) Cabriolet. This car sort of makes an appearance in Gran Turismo 7, except it's an RS version and isn't a convertible.
  • Speaking of which, I go to play Gran Turismo 7 again and completed a couple of circuit experiences. One of them took place on a dirt track which took me a long while to gold and barely managed it too with just 0.088 seconds to spare. One lap takes just over three minutes, so it's painful having to restart every time. I can't imagine how many more retries I'd take if I missed it by a little more. A tenth of a second goes by very quickly, so I'm lucky to just get by. Aside from that, I did some time trials, did some races, and acquired some more classic cars. I even learned a thing or two from the Porsche that I just mentioned.
  • I completed more stuff in Inkscape! Because of the clever tricks I learned, I was able to make not one, but two things in one go! Of course, being myself, I had to upload them as decals out of pure curiosity just to see how it looks. I've said this so many times now, but it'll never cease to make me smile seeing my own creations on a (virtual) car.
  • I went to the grocery store and got some things I needed. I'm glad that I opted to go early because a couple of items I needed to buy were running low in stock. Thankfully, I managed to get a few. By the time I was done, it was all gone.
  • I watched the sprint race highlights of the Formula 1 2022 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. While the main race doesn't start until tomorrow at 9 AM from where I live (or whenever depending on where and when you read this), it's great to still see some battles. Also, I find that it's become a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine to see Mercedes struggle really badly since they've been dominating the sport for far too long. They haven't felt something like this since 2013. But we're just about four races in and a lot can still change as the season goes on so who knows? Mercedes might just bounce back and I lowkey hope that doesn't happen lol.
  • I had pizza and it tasted delicious!
  • For weeks, my Switch wasn't connecting to my TV, and had to play in handheld mode. After switching around the HDMI ports, I'm finally able to play on the big screen again.
  • I played Metroid Dread and have once again made more progress, along with destroying an EMMI yet again. I even found out more of the story in this game, but I won't be spoiling what it is.
  • I went back to Krita and completed another piece. You have no idea how much I want to reveal them, but I still got many ways to go until it's done! It's much better to present the entire thing all at once.
 
I played DQVIII and spent some time grinding at the Pickham casino while catching up with some livestreams I missed! Wasn't feeling super well today, but this kept me entertained for a good while. Got everything I wanted from the casino too!
Did a little bit of reading later on as well.
 
- I had a burger for dinner, FINALLY. I had been craving one for MONTHS! It was home-cooked and tasted really good too.
- When I went into the garage one of our cats, Maybellene, was standing on top of the car. I walked up to her and kissed her on the head easily since she was at my height, and then let her back inside.
- I'm glad I didn't have to work today.
- I'm also thankful that I have a roof over my head, a good job, food, games, and more.
- I got to sleep in as well.
 
i haven’t posted in a bit as the past couple of days have honestly been really rough for me, but i’m hanging in there the best i can. i hope everyone had a good earth day and weekend. :’) 💗

My mother in law was so sick with covid this week, I was worried she wasn't gonna get better and that she might have needed help from a doctor but her fever is finally gone. She has diabetes & stage 1 COPD and couldn't eat for days from being sick so I was getting worried. She also agreed to get vaccinated once she's fully healed and that's such a relief.

Also my covid tests are coming back negative now so I'm outta the woods too.
 
- SpongeBob narrator voice: "It's been a lazy, rainy, and relaxing day here in Bikini Bottom Texas."
- My partner has been sweet to me today.
- I finally folded and put away all my laundry. It definitely makes me happy to have a clean and organized room. :giggle:
- I have a light meeting schedule at work tomorrow.
- I'm enjoying playing the event that's ending soon in Genshin Impact. In fact, I found this dialogue from Venti to be funny considering I don't even drink alcohol in real life 😂 :

Today I'm happy because:

- I didn't have to work today.
- I slept really deeply last night and got to sleep in this morning.
- I woke up with very minimal back pain.
- I got to watch another episode of Bridgerton.
- The weather was lovely and warm again today.
- I saw Ms. Potter, the bunny, nibbling away in our backyard again.
- I got some laundry done that I've been meaning to get to for a week now.
- I had a good, hot shower and I'm wearing fresh pajamas so I feel good.
 
I did a lot of cleaning today. Someone is also coming to fix the fuses tomorrow while I’m at work. There’s something wrong with the circuit. The new fuses are not working and the only room with electricity is the kitchen. It’s a pain.
I got two more Pokémon from my favorite person and I have to train them. I saw her in passing today despite her being sent home early. I’m happy I saw her today because I seriously needed a hug and I only see her on the weekends (including Friday).
I’m eager to find out what’s wrong with the fuses. I’m hoping the issue is easily fixable. I want to play XBOX again, lol.
I’m going to see my favorite dog tomorrow.
 
A few good things today. :)
  • I watched the Formula 1 2022 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix today! The race started out wet and eventually dried up later. Not a lot was going on, except when Charles Leclerc lost control in the closing stages to get the fastest lap for an extra point. Had he just kept it steady and not risked everything, he would've finished in third but he didn't, unfortunately. There are still many more races to go this season, so all is not lost to maintain the championship lead!
  • I completed more stuff in both Krita and Inkscape today!
  • I played Gran Turismo 7 and acquired a car that was a part of my childhood growing up. In-game, it's called the Nissan GT500 but is best known as the Nissan PENNZOIL Nismo GT-R with the livery that came on it. I remember driving it in Gran Turismo 3 and 4 as it's one of those cars that stood out to me as a kid many years ago. To see it in much more beautiful detail is awesome. I ended up doing some time trials and a race with it as well!
