since it's been a few days I'll talk about what's happened from July 4th to today (not including the 6th bc that was a horrible day):
July 4th:
★ went to the city where I'm interning and I stopped at Goodwill before I had to help set up for their July 4th concert, and I found 8 plushies!! my favorite one that I found was a Webkinz Whimsy Dragon which is in really good condition, he's so adorable and I'm obsessed w him rn
I'm gonna write about them in my plushie blog later today!
★ I helped set up for their concert and I got to talk to some people I haven't talked to in a few months, felt nice to reconnect with them.
★ I only stayed for half the concert bc it started in the evening and I didn't want to drive home at night, but from what I got to watch it was really nice!
July 5th:
★ i met someone on fb dating and we chatted for quite a while, he's also trans-masc and ace so we hit it off pretty easily in that regard. we also have a lot in common, many shared interests and we're both neurodivergent so we have similar struggles. I also gave him a lot of reassurance bc it seems like he's been bullied a lot by family and others, I would never be rude or disrespectful to my friends. I've only known him for a few days but he seems like a really awesome person and if this keeps going well I might just ask him out
July 7th:
★ went to a friend's house and we played a 35-turn game on Mario Party 1, we haven't played that together in a long time! also got to see her baby (cute and hilarious as always) and meet her cat for the first time, he's really sweet and reminds me of my late cat Xander.
★ after that I went to a picnic which the newly formed LGBT+ group here held, and I got to meet and connect with some people in the community. I only just met them and I already feel like not only will they always have my back, they are also so friendly and willing to help with whatever I might be dealing with, mental health wise or anything else
★ also got my direct deposit from the work I did last week so I'm officially no longer broke yay!!
July 8th, today:
★ got to go buy a few things I've been wanting/needing, like a new electric toothbrush (along with some whitening toothpaste and fluoride free toothpaste), another Japanese candy food kit (tried some about a week ago and they were really fun to put together), and a ball of pale blue yarn for my next plastic canvas craft!
★ I found a lil kinz yorkie at goodwill with an unused code! I also found a throw blanket with Mario and Luigi on it at Salvation Army, and it was priced at $5 but the color tag was half off so I got it for $2.67!
★ every day I see my cats and dog I'm so happy and grateful that they're here with me. Miko especially has made losing Xander somewhat more tolerable. she's such a sweet baby and I feel so blessed to have her in my life.
★ I wore my Super Mario tie-dye shirt again today (dw I washed it lmao) and I had quite a few people tell me they liked it
★ I'm planning on getting another 3DSXL and selling my pink one for parts bc the hinge is busted, so next time I go to the retro game store hopefully they have one I can buy. pretty excited to finally be getting a second 3DS that doesn't scare me when it opens and closes lol
if you made it to the end, congrats you're heckin cool
