• Guest, you're invited to help build our new TBT time capsule! It contains three parts, with some of its elements planned to open in 2029 and others not until the distant future of 2034. Get started in 2024 Community Time Capsule: Blueprints.

What Are You Happy About Today?

got another box yesterday for my clay stuff, this one is big enough to fit my rolls of foil and wax paper (I'll use the smaller box for my plastic canvas stuff). but I couldn't get a plain box and the "best" one I could find said "bloom wildly" on the top, so I decorated it to my liking!

I painted over the words, found a pic in my Super Mario coloring book to color and cut out, and I put it on there and laminated it with tape. it's not perfect but I really like this a lot more than how the box looked before lol

I plan on cutting out a little cloud thing that has the word "clay" written on it too, just haven't done it yet. but yeah Peach is lookin heckin cute over here 🥰 maybe my other box should have Daisy on it!
 
  • Had good appointments with my therapist and psychiatrist this week. Although I'm very sad that my psychiatrist of 6 years is leaving. I will be seeing her one final time in September then I'll be seeing someone new
  • Went to my buildings arts and crafts event today, and painted a tshirt, this is what I did :) It's messy but it was fun (in spoiler)

  • Took a walk today
  • Realized I can watch all seasons of the original Yugioh for free on Amazon with ads. The ads aren't too annoying. And I'm very happy that I can finally watch the whole series. Netflix only has the 1st season
  • Got some poptarts :)
 
I ran the vacuum in my room (which is also the living room) and my dad’s room. I also cleaned a bit in the kitchen. If anyone’s wondering, I’m staying with my dad for free basically to save money to move. I’m just buying my own food and I’m very thankful to have it this easy.
My schedule for work was updated this week and I’m working for six days next week. It’ll likely be the same for the next month and I’m thankful for all of these hours.
I watched through the first half of Spy X Family last night. I was really enjoying it. I’ll likely watch the rest of it over the next few days.
 
Today I'm happy because:

- I had another calm, easy day at work.
- I got to wear my new sneakers that were delivered yesterday and they're pretty comfy. My old pair was falling apart.
- I worked a bit more on my novel. I only wrote a small paragraph but I'm extremely happy with it.
- My dog snuggled with me on the couch this evening.
- I treated myself to a chocolate milkshake.
- Tomorrow is Friday and I'm only working for half a day.
 
-Poofesure uploaded a new video of him beating Matt and the final stage of Wii Sports Resort Swordplay Showdown. He finally did it! The video was very enjoyable and I laughed a ton, definitely one of my favorites. :)
-The puppies are so adorable, I went to go see them earlier and one of them did a spin when he saw me. It was so cute. 🥺 I also got to cuddle with one for a bit. 🐶
-Played a bit of Wii Sports Resort today. I had a little, uhm, mishap with the Wii Remote in Table Tennis Match. In other words, I almost broke it again. 😅 But I played Swordplay Showdown to get the last stamp (which didn't end up happening again), and it was more enjoyable. ⚔️
-We had fish, shrimp, and potatoes for dinner. It was all made on the barbecue, too! It was very tasty. 😋
-The weather is really cool this evening, I might actually sleep better tonight. 🌃
-I'm re-watching some of Poofesure's Wii Party/Wii Party U videos right now and laughing at his misfortune. 😆
 
I saw some cute new official artwork of a few of my faves!
The other piece of merch I ordered last week arrived safely today!! ;v; I'm super happy to have it in my collection.
Went through some more stuff and threw away some things that couldn't be donated, and got some reorganizing done in the process!
I played Style Savvy: Styling Star a bit more this evening! I think I'm really close to the point I need to be in the story... again ahahah. 😅 I'm still meeting new customers fairly regularly too.
Also I keep forgetting to mention this one, but I've started rewatching a short little comfort series of mine before bed a few days ago, and so that's been a nice note to end my day on.
 
More things to be happy about!

- My partner is incredibly sweet. :giggle:

- I'm about to get paid soon, and reach another milestone in my savings.

- On that note, I've been keeping up with my credit card usage and paying it off ever so often after I've used some credit. I'm going to go shopping for clothes and get a haircut this weekend, so it'll be fun to be able to use it for those things. :D

- I'm about to get some much needed rest. 💤
 
- Went shopping with my mum because it's my sister + my dad's birthdays this weekend (their birthdays are consecutive days), I'm really happy I bought both of their presents today so I don't have to stress about it anymore...we're having a party for them tomorrow, we got some party snacks and a big chocolate cake

- I got a new notebook for the travel journal I'd been wanting to start! So today I wrote the first entry into it <3

- I'm super happy because all the working out I've been doing is paying off, my stomach is much more defined and I've got more muscle in my upper arms! 💪 I only noticed this morning that I'm starting to get (subtle) abs

- I baked some anzac biscuits last night, the first thing I've baked in a long time! I'm happy I picked up that hobby again, I think I'd like to get into the habit of baking all my biscuits instead of buying them
 
This is so nerdy but Yoshida. Hirofumi Yoshida. The CSM fandom is coming in hot with fanart because part 2 and I’m here for it

He in particular is very cute and kind of a slate for whatever I want which is the kinda thing I need right now

I’m not elitist about newer fans or anything, heck, there are fans who got in a lot earlier than me (I got into it a couple months ago). But I’m happy one day I can look back and see how I was around for the start of this series and see all my memories attached to it
 
Today I learned that my time with the career job I love so much is most likely going to be extended, so today is a fantastic day!!! I've put a ton of effort into it, and it has paid off. Once this happens I will be set, because sometime next year I should start receiving money from the business I own half of, which means I won't have to go looking for another job! It'll also enable me to easily rent an apartment on my own without the need for roommates. I'm so happy I could cry. Things are really looking up! 🥳

 
- Accidentally(ish) made ice cream. I have a small Ninja blender and I didn't think it was strong enough to blend a bunch of frozen stuff. I was originally going to wait for everything to melt a bit, but lots of frozen berries, bananas, and yogurt later - we had ice cream!

- Went for a walk

- Got some cleaning done (laundry, floors, bathroom, kitchen counters)

- Had a nice heart-to-heart with my new fellow team members at work

- Neon White isn't the type of game I would play, but I'm going to have fun watching someone else play today!
 
I’m happy that there is an apartment company I found in my desired location. The most difficult part is going to be availability, but I am actually very flexible with that so I’m not too worried about that department. I looked at a few of their apartment complexes when I was in Vegas. I’m just happy it’s a thing because it’s exactly what I was looking for in terms of requirements and catering to my needs. It gives me hope.

This isn’t necessarily something that happened today, but I was just thinking about it and how there’s always something for everyone. You just have to know where to look.
 
I FINALLY GOT THE 'UNTOUCHABLE' STAMP IN WII SPORTS RESORT SWORDPLAY SHOWDOWN! 😭

For context, the objective is to beat the final stage without getting hit once. I've been trying to get this stamp for a while and it finally happened. Tears have been shed, anger has been unleashed, Wii Remotes have been thrown... But I've finally reached one of my goals and I feel so relieved. In fact, I'm shaking like crazy right now after this whole ordeal.

I am finally done with Swordplay Showdown; I beat all 20 stages, got all 5 stamps, and got the max amount of experience points (2500). I'm very far from completing the entirety of Wii Sports Resort, but at least I can say that I've completed one mode 100%. 😁
 
Today I'm happy because:

- I had a calm morning at work. Nothing crazy came up.
- I got to log out at noon since I took the afternoon off.
- I had a really good session with my counselor.
- I had a good visit with my chiropractor and a nice massage.
- I got to see pictures of my massage therapist's cat. She's part Siamese and beautiful!
- I went to the pet store and saw a lady walk in with her pet rat on her shoulder. 🐀
- I saw a chihuahua in the SUV beside me on my way home.
- I got some more writing done today.
- It's Friday! Looking forward to two days off!
