What Are You Happy About Today?

I could smell flowers today!! ;v; Still waiting for the sniffliness to go away entirely, but this felt like nice progress.
Watched an episode of One Piece with my parents! We still have a little bit of catching up to do, but hopefully we'll get there next weekend.
We also watched LDShadowLady's latest Empires SMP episode!
I watched some Youtube while betting in the DQIV Monster Arena, and got all the casino tokens and prizes I wanted for now! I'm looking forward to getting back into the story next time! ^^
I also made a couple rubber band bracelets for the first time in years! I just made some basic fishtail pattern ones while I try to ease back into it, but I think they turned out pretty nice.
And I got to play Style Savvy: Styling Star this evening! I've got all the brands back in the Exhibition Hall again, met some more (!!) new customers, and made it through October! I've updated my progress checklist again, and I'm honestly getting pretty close to my goal of collecting all the clothes—I might actually be able to start checking off entire brands soon. 👀
 
  • Yesterday a package came from my friend, it was a surprise gift! It had a 50 pack of colored pencils, a 40 pack of fine-line markers, and a awesome and adorable coloring book called You Deserve Nice Things: Calming Coloring Pages by Kate Allan, attached below is one of the pictures I colored. I'm also excited to use the colored pencils and markers for coloring some of my artwork. What an awesome surprise! :D
  • I slept pretty good last night
  • Spent the morning coloring, drinking coffee, and listening to music. Then sat outside for awhile and talked for one of my neighbors who lives in the building which was nice
  • I got some cleaning done today
  • I'm possibly making some homemade pumpkin bread later :D

- I've been getting good sleep recently and getting a lot done.

- I got a haircut yesterday and it looks better.

- I also watched the Cowboys dismantle the Bengals and defeat them with a field goal, which was... surprising. I'm not really an American football fan, but I definitely wasn't expecting that, lol.

- I'm in good shape and have time, so I'm headed to martial arts tonight! 🥳
 
This is really weird but I kept having the idea of this guy who hurt me pop in my head when I wanted to cuddle. Like “damn I still want to hug you”. Well, I feel like I moved past it today! It kinda popped in and I just went “ech”, like a healthy resistance. Not a traumatic hangup, and not some unhealthy happiness for this guy who hurt me (i.e. idolisation). More or less I just thought I’d rather hug Yoshida. I’m moving on! It’s been so great seeing my progress with that.
 
I previously mentioned that I saw my favorite person last night. I had to stop in and see her after ordering food from there. We made eye contact for a few seconds when she saw me picking up the food, and everything was so real, like her smile/eyes/everything was genuine. If I had any doubts before they are damn sure non-existent now. Everything just clicked in that moment. I enjoyed our conversation afterwards, too!! I’ve just never had anyone look at me the way she did in that moment.
I had the opportunity to try an amazing food product. I haven’t thought of this myself, but mixing an ice cream cone with Orange Fanta tastes just like an orange creamsicle. It’s a shame I didn’t think of this back when I worked for McDonald’s. I did, however, put some ice cream on top of cinnamon melts.
The Mario Party Superstars game that my dad bought for me is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. I’m between playing as Donkey Kong or Waluigi, but I’ll come to a conclusion soon. I am looking forward to some online play.
 
Today I'm happy because:

- I slept pretty deeply last night.
- I had a very low stress day at work.
- The weather was really nice all day today.
- I had a really good four-cheese melt with tomatoes and roasted peppers for dinner.
- I saw two different butterflies: a monarch and a red-spotted purple butterfly.
- I saw a double rainbow in real life.
 
I don't know how I forgot to mention this yesterday, but I got to play Pokemon Legends: Arceus for a little while! I recovered a lot of player satchels (most of which were from one player—hang in there, buddy) and also caught two shinies, a Tangrowth and a Teddiursa!!! ;v;
And today I got to play Style Savvy: Styling Star! I'm getting close to completing the main story again.
Caught up with GoodTimesWithScar's latest video and watched some other short videos with my family!
 
-Finally feeling content after a week of just gloom and stress.
-Although the weather was hot outside, it didn’t feel like a oven.
-Today was my day off, so I got some chores done.
-My follow up appt. turned out fine.
-Went to Walmart to buy some market, desserts, and help out my mom pick out a present for my niece.
-I took a nap.
-I’m going to play Animal Crossing now.
 
Yes, yes, I know I destroyed your notifications. 😂 I just haven't been on this thread for a bit that's why.
  • I got to continue unbolting some parts from an engine today and it was pretty fun! This time around, my group and I got to remove an intake manifold and an exhaust manifold! There were also a couple of head gaskets between them and the engine block which is pretty cool! The images don't look exactly the same as the ones I saw today, but it was awesome for me to take a closer look at these parts, physically hold them, and learn their purpose and functions. I also got to learn a bit more about the crankshaft, camshafts, and engine strokes again. No joke, visually learning these things and a bit of textbook reading has helped me understand some of the mumbo jumbo terms I've seen when playing any of the Gran Turismo games, more specifically when it comes to specific engine upgrades (the brief word explanations doesn't do much for me) and descriptions from some cars. It's helped me to visualize a bit better how these upgrades give a performance buff. There's still more stuff that's yet to be uncovered, so I can't wait to expand my knowledge in this area! 😀
  • The weather was nice today.
  • I basically got to relax for the rest of the afternoon after coming home.
  • Catching up and reading these posts knowing the things that make other members happy time and time again. 😊
 
Well, I’m not hanging out with my favorite person tomorrow because something came up, but I’m so happy she told me a whole day in advance, told me exactly why, and rescheduled. I appreciate her being open and honest. We’re gonna try for next week if she’s available which is more likely.
I’m happy about hanging out with her next week, and seeing her on Thursday in passing. I’ve come way out of my comfort zone since meeting her and it feels amazing.
I did a lot of cleaning at work today and everything looks spotless. I’m proud of how clean everything is now and that my work is being noticed.
My copy of Mario Party Superstars arrived in the mail today.
I previously mentioned that I recently changed my phone’s aesthetic and I love it so much. The colors are perfect and I’m happy that I took the time to do it.
 
Today I'm happy because:

- I slept deeply again last night.
- Despite a few issues coming up at work, I didn't get too stressed and was able to log off on time.
- The weather was nice again today. Loving this perfect fall weather!
- We made some more decisions about our bathroom remodel. We're getting closer to being able to order things and actually get the work started.
 
Finally got to finish the second of the two drama CDs I ordered a while back! ;v;
The limited edition set of a game I had on pre-order arrived today, a couple days before it's officially supposed to release, actually!! ^^ As usual for me, I'm not planning on playing it straightaway (kinda wanna replay the original game first), but I did go ahead and unbox the merch ahahaha. I got a couple more stickers to decorate my clear file storage folder with, another character card for my collection, a small pin (my ita-bag is officially full now!), an acrylic keychain and a cloth poster! There's a mini artbook too, but I'm saving that until after I play.
Also got to make a few more rubber band bracelets today! I'm getting back into some of the slightly more complicated patterns again and so far I'm really happy with how they've been turning out. Once I make enough, I'm going to give them to my dad so he can use them as prizes for his students.
 
- My cat is okay after her trip to the vets yesterday, turns out she had been bitten on the foot (most likely by the mouse she killed) and an infection had set in. So my mum took her at the right moment and after a big ol' injection of antibiotics she's back to her normal self... aside from a slight limp.

- I'm making a lot of progress in Dreamlight Valley and knowing there's so much to do makes me smile knowing I spent my money well on a game I hardly knew anything about beforehand. Honestly I haven't felt this excited playing a game since I first bought ACNH.

- I'm going to visit a castle today which I haven't done in ages plus the sun is out making it perfect autumnal weather for a day out.
