• 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?

Today I'm happy because:

- I had a wonderful night's sleep and got to sleep in this morning.
- The weather was really beautiful, warm and sunny.
- We rescued a tiny snake from the road while taking our afternoon walk. It couldn't get up over the curb, so we gave it a boost. It was a feisty little thing! 🐍
- I had a peaceful, relaxing day at home with my husband and my dog.
- My dog cuddled with me on the couch several times today.
- We're going to see my husband's family for our second Thanksgiving tomorrow.
- My niece and nephews arrived in town today so we'll get to see them tomorrow as well!
 
Finally was able to catch Ditto in Pokémon Platinum, and hatched a Phione! ^^ Always wanted to get Manaphy/Phione in Gen IV, so I'm happy to have completed that little goal of mine at long last. I was also able to work on my Pokédex, and since I had a bit of extra money, I decorated the Villa some too.
I'm finished with the otome route replay I've been on! I'd already replayed the best ending, but I went back today and played through the good/normal ending again too. ♥️
And I got to play Pokémon Legends: Arceus for a good while this evening! I'm definitely not being as efficient as I could be ahaha, but I'm still happy with the progress I'm making on research tasks.
I received my consolation tbt from the Thanksgiving raffle!
Saw some new official art of one of my faves! 💚
Watched a few Youtube videos with my mom! We played some games respectively while we were chatting/listening to videos in the background, and it was really fun. c:
 
I was able to easily obtain three Pokémon that my favorite person needed for her dex. We were able to talk as well. And maybe a bit off topic, but she was rubbing and stroking my back as she was holding me, and I don’t think I felt as loved as I did in that moment.
I slept in on Thanksgiving, but it was sleep that I needed. I was able to play a round of Mario Party with her, which is a weekly thing for us at this point.

My stress levels were pretty low throughout the day and work was slow despite everyone being out shopping today. I prefer the slow days. Less stressful for me because I can help out everywhere else.
I have another day off tomorrow to catch up on some sleep. Unfortunately, I do have to wake up early tomorrow to get to the post office to get out some Ebay packages, but I can go back to sleep afterwards if I wish.
It’s been a hot minute since I sold anything, so I’m happy.
I did visit Keagan today and he was really excited to see me. He got a new lambchop toy and it’s already chewed up. He went for a walk and had a few dog treats!
 
happy friday, everyone! i hope you all have a great weekend! my day didn’t get off to the best start as i woke up feeling groggy and sad, but things turned around! i had a decent day overall. ☺️

𓆩♡𓆪 slept well again last night! i even slept in until the afternoon today. 😳
𓆩♡𓆪 read a new fanfic i enjoyed.
𓆩♡𓆪 my family and i put up the light-up christmas tree vinyl poster my mom got from etsy! it’s not the same as a real christmas tree, but it’s pretty, and at least we don’t have to worry about bonk knocking it over! 🤣 the lights change colours, too!
one day i’ll figure out how to upload videos on here haha.

𓆩♡𓆪 did some self-care.
 
I got my new phone today! I'm so excited. I've wanted this phone for a little bit and I finally got my hands on one for black Friday.
Are flip phones back? What model is this? 😮
I hated the move away from them—to the point I delayed joining the modern smartphone era until 2010/11 when my college lecturers seemed to get annoyed if students didn't have email/web access at all times—so if this is the future then I'm into it.




I had an awful day yesterday, but I'm not going to air dirty laundry on the internet. However, to find some highlights:
  • someone else cooked dinner for me. 🍝
  • my partner phoned me with a pep talk at about 11pm. 🖤
  • I managed to successfully distract myself from everything that went wrong yesterday/this week by playing several hours of Harvestella last night - I stayed up gaming until 1am and only turned it off because my eyes hurt.
  • I caught a shiny Lechonk in Pokémon Scarlet:

- I'm happy that it's the weekend and it's raining. Don't have to go anywhere and I can play video games and watch anime as much as I want! :D

- My partner continues to be sweet to me. 💚

- The Dallas Mavericks take on the Toronto Raptors soon in Toronto. Hopefully they can pull off a win. They really need it. 🏀
 
Aw, that sounds nice. What kind? (I might be craving cookies now that I think about it...)

Idk what you'd call them, we just made very basic ones with butter and decorated them with sprinkles. :D
 
Just happy I've been having a good 4 day weekend so far!

• On the 23rd, I was able to snag an order for the new Jevil plush, along with a Spamton plush, I couldn't have one without the other haha.
• Got to catch up with a family member I haven't seen in a while during Thanksgiving.
• Bought the Cuphead DLC during the Steam sale. It's been years since I last played Cuphead and it really shows haha, but I've been having a blast nonetheless!
• Today I went to an early screening for the new Puss in Boots movie and loved it! It's surprisingly great, probably my favorite film of the year in fact.
• Also, I've been feeling a resurgence lately to get back into drawing. I haven't been able to do much due to my job, but since I've been moved to a position that's less physically intensive, I have the energy to indulge in activities like that again.

THEY SURE ARE! This is a Galaxy Flip 4. I adore it so much. I'm not sure if it'll be common or if it'll just be this but so far I LOVE IT. It has a 2nd, smaller screen on the back side that shows the time & messages just like old flip phones. I love this thing~
 
Today I'm happy because:

- I slept really well again last night and got to sleep in this morning.
- The weather was beautiful. I didn't even need to wear a coat today.
- We had a nice time visiting with my husband's family for a late Thanksgiving.
- There was a ridiculous amount of amazing food. I ate way too much.
- I really enjoyed the time I spent with my niece and nephews. I love them so much.
- I also got to meet a new dog named Molly. She was so sweet and loveable.
- I have another day off tomorrow to relax and sleep in.
