What Are You Happy About Today?

☾ SEA PIG GET!!! I don't even want to think about how many hours total I've spent diving for this thing, but it's finally in my ACNH Museum!! 😭
☾ Some acrylic stands I pre-ordered a few months ago arrived safely today! And I somehow still managed to find room to display them. 😅
☾ I've sorted yet another desk drawer! I think that's got my desk pretty much covered—I still have a drawer that's just for blank paper, so I'm not sure there's really anything to sort there, but I'll probably still take a look at it soon just to be sure.
☾ I was also able to get to the point I needed to in Style Savvy: Styling Star again, and got the second-to-last achievement I need for completion!! Now I just need to start another New Game+ and do all this a few more times, ahaha.
☾ We had some more homemade oatmeal cookies today! Maple and brown sugar flavor this time.
☾ I was having a rough evening (bad anxiety/was verging on panicky), but after talking through it my mom surprised me with the next volume of a manga I read. ;v; Apparently she'd gotten it a few days ago and was waiting for a good time to give it to me.
 
I unintentionally fished up a mahi mahi, the last fish for my collection on today's Fishing Tourney!

At a family barbecue atm. It's been years, but it's really nice to just sit here out at the lake. Lots of scenic landscape, people and kids having fun, we went on a 2-hour hike (we saw a frog and even a snake!) my family atm drinking and arguing while no doubt other families are being nosy onlookers enjoying the free entertainment, meanwhile I'm quietly over here fighting off the bugs.... Sigh like old times 😂
 
Today I'm happy because:

- I saw Mortimer, the bat, hanging out on my porch again last night and he didn't fly away.
- I slept well last night and got to sleep in this morning.
- It's been a pretty good day overall.
- I spent some quality time with my husband and my dog.
- I got to watch the first episode of Shadows House season 2.
- I found a ladybug on my umbrella after walking my dog and I let it go in a safe place outdoors.
- I forgot to add this yesterday, but I saw a dobsonfly in person for the very first time. It was so cute the way it lifted its head to look at me and kept snapping its pincers. I left it alone since it seemed bothered by my presence, but I love meeting new animals.

This isn't the same one I saw, but it looked identical. I found this on google.

It was a bit uneventful today, but still a few things to talk about:

⟡ My grandma picked me up a few cans of these. She managed to find these somewhere because they were nowhere to be found locally for me anyway.

⟡ My favorite person finished my end of the art trade and I have no flippin’ clue what to do for her. I have a few days and she told me it’s no rush, so I’m not stressing.
⟡ I watched a bunch of YouTube videos that interested me before work today.
 
  • Today marked 6 months of eating disorder recovery! Super proud of myself, bought myself some new music from iTunes as a reward and am thoroughly enjoying listening to some old favorites :D
  • Designed a vacation home in HHP, happy with how most of it turned out
  • I'm finally back to 20mm gauge in my ears, so I'm around 3/4'' now, I'm wearing some of my new tunnels and am happy with them, staying at this size
  • Took a nice long nap earlier today
  • Had some pizza for dinner
 
today started out pretty rough and I didn't really get anything done that I wanted to do, but my evening has gone well :>

★ the parents and I got chinese take-out for lunch earlier and it was really tasty :p
★ finally got to talk to my friend whom I met on fb dating, he was busy today but we got to chat for about an hour or so this evening. we said good night cause it's almost bedtime for me, and now I'm literally just thinking about how the heck I go about confessing that I really like this guy lol 😳😳🥰
★ went to the park with my friend and her baby this afternoon, it's a new playground which we hadn't been to yet and we had fun! would love to go again sometime. we're also gonna make plans to go swimming again sometime soon :)
★ I broke down and ordered a new (used, new to me) 3DSXL from ebay, it's the NSMB2 special edition so I'm very excited about that, and it's coming from Cincinnati so it's p close and should hopefully be here by Wed-Thurs next week!
not pictured but the back has weegee on it and that's p hype too

★ started a new plastic canvas design today, it's a tissue box cover with rainbows and unicorns on it. It's gonna look really cute when I'm done~
★ every day I get to spend with my dog and kitties is a blessing, losing Xander has reminded me to always appreciate them while they're here 💞
★ still obsessed w this dragon plush and I actually had the confidence to bring him in public today. I'm usually afraid to bring and actually carry plushies when I go places bc I don't want people thinking I'm trying to lure a child or whatever, that's not my intent at all. I just feel a lot more secure when I bring my plushies wherever I go. I brought him to the park and nobody said anything about it so that made me really happy ☺️
 
☾ Watched a couple more episodes of Fairy Tail this morning with my parents, and caught up on some Minecraft Youtubers we like later on!
☾ I started New Game+ again in Style Savvy: Styling Star, and made some really good progress! I'm still seeing some brand new customers too, and trying out some of the alternative options has been really fun.
☾ I also played ACNH, and got a bit further into February! I found some more genuine art for my Museum too.
 
Been playing AC HHD for the first time for real this time instead of borrowing someone's else's copy. Love how all 10 homes and the school turned out. Still wish we have the power to use the drag thing outside in ACNH because it makes life easier.I also LOVE the exterior home designs we got like the big fortress one and farm one. Also the other castle like ones. Sad that they're not in ACNL and NH! Also returned to wild world and its kinda sad but I'm still going to play anyways. I did restarted my town and named it Harmony after my lost data town in NL. Was going to play City Folk but nah.
 
Haven’t posted in a little while, so thought I should take a minute to be grateful for some things! 😊

🌟 My dog had to get dental surgery because she had a fractured tooth. Thankfully she has recovered ok, and is doing well! 🎉 She’s been very sweet and enjoying lots of attention. ❤️
🌟 It was also her birthday the day after her surgery! I had bought her two new squeaky plushes for her birthday (a dinosaur and a platypus), but I couldn’t give them to her straight away because I didn’t want her to use her jaw while recovering. She‘s particularly fond of the platypus now! Her favourite types of toys are soft plushes that squeak, and I’m pretty sure she likes to squeak the toys to hear the different types of noises. If she’s particularly intrigued, she will meticulously pull at the seams with her teeth until she’s opened it enough to get the squeaker out. She is so precise about it?!
🌟 I was gifted some really nice gloves and a scarf (it’s winter here)!
🌟 From someone else, I was also gifted some Pokémon pajamas and some AC amiibo cards out of the blue. Such a sweet surprise! I love the pajamas so much!
🌟 I got sick and got a PCR test, and it was negative for COVID. 🎉 That seems worth celebrating.
🌟 I played some Pokémon Shield today (I started a fresh game recently) and also some Portal. I was sitting on a beanbag and my dog lied on the floor next to me and slept, which was sweet too. Usually she’ll sleep on her bed or sit next to you trying to get your attention (hit your hand with her nose until you pat her!).
🌟 I’ve tried a couple of new things when drawing (drawing animals, using different brushes and textures, lineless drawings, more shading). I’ve been really happy with some of the digital drawings I’ve done lately so I’m so pleased!
🌟 Saw my family today for someone’s birthday! 😊💖
 
I haven't posted in a while, so I'm just gonna talk about what happened during the past few days. ^^
  • Poofesure uploaded a video about Swordplay Showdown (aka one of my favorite modes in Wii Sports Resort), so I was very estatic about it. In fact, I loved the video so much, I re-watched it three more times. XD But honestly, I'm just glad that I wasn't the only one who struggled on the last three stages. 😅
  • Started writing fanfiction again! I'm still not done with my current fic, though... But I will finish it eventually! 📝
  • Baked chocolate chip cookies yesterday and they're very tasty. 🍪
  • Got a Pave Purple Feather from @/Jhine7! 🪶💜
  • Played Super Mario 3D World with my step-mom yesterday and it was really fun! 🐱
  • I see the puppies every day and I absolutely love doing so, now that they've grown a bit they're cuter than ever. 🐶 I also got to cuddle with one yesterday and it dozed off in my arms. <3
  • We have raspberry and blackberry bushes growing at the back of our shed, and my parents picked some this morning. Again, very tasty. 🌿
  • I think I might get back to playing The Legend of Zelda, one of my all-time favorite video games! I had a sudden urge to play Breath of the Wild, and I'm currently listening to a cover of Song of Storms right now. ⛈️
  • I'm very happy with my Tomodachi Life progress! 🏨
-Some of the married couples had babies, specifically Matt & Elisa and Tommy & Siobhan!
-Speaking of babies . . . Kimberly grew up, and I decided that she should be a resident of Triforce Island (instead of making her a traveler like every other child that grew up). ^^
-I added Chika, Gwen, and Miguel from Wii Sports Resort to my island!
-I wrote a TL song, specifically a musical sung by Pierre.
-Got plenty of new shop items, which I'm happy about!

⟡ A customer that ordered food today was wearing a Waluigi shirt, and it made me smile.
⟡ I finally finished my half of that art trade I was doing with my favorite person. She loved it which was a bit surprising. My anxiety levels were a bit high today but she made me feel better.
⟡ Don’t read this point if you get grossed out easily, but there was a dead mouse by the dumpster outside at work decomposed so you can only see it’s skull and head. I thought it was pretty darn cool.
⟡ My dad brought me some Wendy’s to work tonight because I was hungry.
 
Yesterday:
- Went shopping for my grandma and had lunch at her place. She's not been eating properly recently which tends to make her health fall dramatically, so we make sure she has groceries in. It was great to see her and I'm happy she's doing well again.
- Got news my trip to Germany is hopefully still going ahead in September 🥰

Today:
- Watched my first F1 race in ages and was so happy Leclerc finally won lol
- My friend and I are meeting up on Tuesday to watch the new Thor! I've heard mixed reviews but I'm just happy we're gonna hang out again tbh, not seen her in so long
- The new chocolate Halo Top ice cream I got is really good, especially eaten with a warm fibre one brownie <3
- I've been keeping up working out, I do at least a 10 minute workout per night, noticed I'm a lot happier and it helps me sleep easier
 
Today was a great day, just last night I finally completed Binding of Isaac on Steam, it took me 162 hours over the course of years since the game released in 2014, it was such a ride this last month of me grinding away every night to completing the characters and finally, being able to look at my Steam page and see that last achievement there is an awesome feeling (I just discovered that completing the original Binding of Isaac took me the same amount of time of 162 hours so I found that amusing)
 
I've had a super relaxing AND productive weekend! Got pretty much everything done I wanted to gaming-wise, household-wise, and personally. I have to say this is as close to perfect as possible a weekend I've had in a LONG time. I really needed it, and now I'm recharged and ready for the work week ahead! 😤
 
How unusual of me to make a post a little earlier than I typically do. 😅 I definitely had a better day today compared to yesterday.

  • The weather was nice today!
  • I played Gran Turismo 7 and did some time trials. I also did an online time trial to see how much of a noob good I am compared to other players. I got a daily roulette ticket and while I was expecting to get a garbage prize like usual, I ended up winning a Porsche 917 Living Legend! 😮 As far as I know, this car is not functional in real life and only exists as a clay model in the Porsche museum located in Stuttgart, Germany. On top of that, it doesn't have an interior unlike in the game where it does. Plus, it happens to have a functional horn which surprised me. I totally didn't spam it while doing time trials with it lol.

  • I went on a car stroll during the pleasant weather. It was pretty good and got to see some more recognizable cars on the road that have been mentioned before.
  • Feel free to skip this point. Fortunately, there is one car that hasn't been mentioned yet! It's a 2013 Ford Focus ST. Just looking up the car, ST stands for Sports Technologies. Because of this sighting, this now totals up to 160 different cars I've seen with my own eyes. I honestly find it a little hard to believe that I reached this number considering there are so many SUVs on the road.
  • Unfortunately, I wasn't able to watch the 2022 Formula 1 Austrian Grand Prix today since it didn't get televised (thanks a lot, cable TV). I watched the highlights after and I'm happy Charles Leclerc finally got a victory. There were also some battles throughout the race and I'm glad the regulation changes are making the races more eventful.
  • I made progress in my art project today! I will be getting another piece underway very soon. 😁
