What Are You Happy About Today?

[xSuperMario64x]

so last night I hand washed my new fennec fox plush; I soaked and scrubbed it in cool water with some laundry detergent, I let it hang dry overnight, and today I brushed out its fur with my dog's slicker brush. it's not perfect but it looks and feels so much better now! he also looks a lot happier

Two great things I'm happy about so far today.
I took my dog to the vet yesterday, and despite the vet trying to stick a needle in her face (it was a definite "no heckin' way" from her), she was really good! We also went for a walk in a new spot beforehand, and I bought her a new toy and collar tag. She also made a sweet friend in the waiting room. They had similar energies, and it was so cute to see this other dog take to her as soon as he entered the room.
Pre-ordered the Pokémon Violet/Scarlet dual pack! I know it's a little early, but I'm excited and now it's done.

In celebration of pride month, I decided to crochet as many pride flags as I could.
16 in total!

⟡ I did the sign for the first time at work and I think I did a great job. I used a ladder and they had the greeter come outside and hold it to make sure I didn’t fall, lmao.

Spoiler: y’know, these signs

⟡ I had plans to go to the dog park with my favorite person but I had to work, so maybe next week will be better. She goes almost every Tuesday.
⟡ I had some Burger King for the first time in a month or so. I forgot how much I love their burgers. I also finished up early at work and have a bit of extra time to play video games.

i made lots of progress in blender today! i learned a lot from the tutorials i followed. i previously dropped it off and on because i got frustrated with it so it feels good to see progress.

Today I'm happy because:

- I slept really deeply last night.
- The weather was nice again today.
- I saw a squirrel in my backyard.
- I was worried about my workday because of the holiday yesterday, but today went as well as I could have hoped. I finished everything that needed to be done by 5:00 and logged off on time.
- I made my submission to the Diversity Event and it was accepted. I'm honestly surprised at how many reactions I've gotten on it. Everyone on this forum is too kind.
- I'm still enjoying looking through everyone else's submissions.
- I'm getting close to the end of my book and looking forward to reading more tonight.

I feel very happy today which is great.

• The weather was very nice today! Sunny skies for most of the day.
• I went for a small walk around the neighborhood with my sister since we got to her school a little earlier than usual.
• I did some work in my backyard and front yard to trim off some leaves from the plants that were getting too long. I feel like I got a lot of exercise for my arms since there was so much to trim.
• I'm continuing to work on my entry for the forum event. I'm in the middle of doing the outlines now and having a fun time getting it together!
• Feel free to skip this point. I spotted a Ferrari 458 Italia today! Admittedly, I already saw it numerous times in the form of a spider version but not the one with a regular roof, so that's nice! I usually don't go out of my way to buy a Ferrari (if anything I try to stay away from them believe it or not outside of video games), but this is probably the only one I'll ever buy if I had the money AND if Ferrari themselves think I'm worthy enough to own one (they have some of the most ridiculous rules on planet Earth. Look it up if you're curious). I like the design as it's pretty simple overall. Plus, I drove that car on Gran Turismo 5 for the first time back in 2012 when I was younger, so I already liked it for a long time. That's a decade ago now. Whoa. It didn't sound too great in that game but was improved massively in GT Sport and 7.
• Continuing to look at the new entries for the forum event. I'll be honest guys, I legit cried after reading them. It's constantly hitting me in the feels and I can't help but let it all out. Regardless of art skill, y'all are awesome people and should be happy for having the courage to step up. This is also giving me a truckload of motivation to finish my entry!

☾ I decided to try and perk myself up a little by starting a new Slime Rancher playthrough this morning! I'd been wanting to play it again since I got the last few achievements on my main file, but my laptop was seriously struggling with it, so I'm playing on the PS4 version this time. I'm just barely getting started with my ranch of course, but even the little bit I played definitely helped cheer me up a little. c:
☾ And this evening I started the DQVIII postgame! I've unlocked the Dragovian Trials, so I'm looking forward to getting into those next time. Lots of cool story reveals too!

 

[xSuperMario64x]

today has some pretty significant upsides to it:
☆ I didn't quite wake up as early as I wanted to, but today's the first dat in prob 2 weeks that I woke up in the morning and didn't go back to sleep.
☆ tonight is the first night in forever that I haven't had a bunch of negative intrusive thoughts right before going to sleep. hopefully I can actually sleep pretty well tonight.

and ofc I'm happy about my most recent drawing

The first major part of my trip (Los Angeles, California to Seattle, Washington overnight on an Amtrak train) went incredibly well. I met a lot of great people on board, the food was way better than I had expected, and the views were amazing. Nothing like waking up at 5:30am, opening the window curtain, and seeing the snow-covered Mount Shasta straight ahead of you in the distance, and that's only a tiny sliver of the scenery this route had to offer. It was a great ride and it has me looking forward even more to the next two major portions I have coming up!

To top it all off, I just got to my hotel in Seattle and found out that they upgraded my room at no extra cost to a nicer one near the top with an excellent view of Puget Sound and the Seattle Skyline. What a great way to end the first part of this trip!

One downside to all of this? Train legs... it still feels like everything is rocking back and forth!

Today I was told by my supervisor that I hit the maximum bonus for the month of June after only a short time being eligible for the bonus program so that made my night!

Wore a cute summer outfit to lunch today with my friend! A white crop vest with a black tennis skirt + black thigh high socks It was nice, I had a sandwich and then a slice of cake too

I checked into our flight last night, so today my mum printed off our boarding passes at her work (we don't have a printer at home lol), so everything is more or less prepared

Also had a bath in the afternoon to cool down then played some Pokemon Black while watching Wimbledon Qualifiers Now I'm having a coffee

⟡ I sold an item on eBay last night and found a box that was the absolute perfect size. I can’t even explain the joy of finding a box that is just the right size for what you need.
⟡ I picked up some more packing tape which I needed. I was completely out. I should’ve gotten more earlier, but I’m happy to have some now. I needed to get this box taped up and shipped out.
⟡ I talked with and played Pokémon with my favorite person. She showed me one of her new teams and told me about another team she was working on.
⟡ I am able to watch the new episode of Catfish, my favorite show, before work today. I’m happy I have enough time to do so since they are about 42 minute episodes.

- I've been having a lot of fun working while listening to Sonic music, and helping others out!

- I missed yesterday's exercise session because I was tired, but I plan on exercising again after work today!

- I managed to obtain Arataki Itto and Kiku Shinobu in Genshin Impact! I lost the 50/50 for the first time in awhile on Itto, but got him only two 10 pulls later! I now have every playable character in the game except for Albedo!

- Just in a fantastic mood today!

i ordered a case for my computer and also a copy of animal crossing population growing with a pink 3rd party gamecube controller. it was kind of expensive but i think the purchase was worth it, also i found out what was wrong with something that was confusing me in blender.

 

[AlyssaAC]

Happy today because my family and I got our first thunderstorm in what feels like ages. It rarely rains where I live because you know, high dessert. So it’s been really dry, but today was some nice rain, which California really needs. ^-^

1. My brother brought Golden Chick for lunch. I don't like chicken, but I ate some French fries and rolls from there.
2. Al is finally moving off of my ACNH island after what feels like a million years.
3. I caught a Dorado on ACNH (the first one on this file). I also caught my first firefly on there.

Today I finally got around to setting up the bookshelf in my room (it used to belong to my mother but she let me have it after deciding she would donate all her books. I'm grateful to have it now!) and using it to accommodate my vast assortment of plushies aka my soft cuddly family who doesn't talk and accepts my obsessive yet unconditional love no matter what it makes me really happy seeing them all like this. I used to have many more but because of lack of space I had to make a few sacrifices, but I made sure to keep all the ones I absolutely can't do without.

Spoiler: as Stitches would say: "Stuffin"

My special rabbit plush, however, always and forever has a spot in bed with me <3

2. Al is finally moving off of my ACNH island after what feels like a million years.

I feel that. It took forever for Pancetti to leave my town on New Leaf. And every time she had the thinking bubble to leave and I'd be like adios! She was like 'Nah you want me to stay, I can tell.'


Not a very eventful day, but I did find time to exercise after work. It's nice to keep up with it. It's been kind of an unofficial New Years resolution. I don't do them, but I started this year so it kind of feels like it is.

Today I'm happy because:

- I slept really well again last night.
- The weather was nice and sunny again today. It's supposed to rain tonight, which I'm fine with as long as I don't have to go out in it.
- I went into the office again today and saw some more familiar faces for the first time in 2 and half years.
- I'm caught up on all of my high priority work finally so I was able to spend some time today on lower priority things that stress me out when they start to pile up.
- I took a walk on my morning break and got to read during my lunch break.
- I got to leave work early and had a really good massage therapy session.
- I had a really tasty cheeseburger for dinner.
- My work week is half way over already.
