What Are You Happy About Today?

@/lunatepic blessed me with some amazing art of my ACNH rep 😭❤️
Got some more work done on the request I started yesterday!
I made a few more rubber band bracelets while watching Youtube! My parents and I got to catch up with Katherine Elizabeth's latest Empires SMP episode.
Was feeling kinda down after reading some stuff earlier today, but thankfully it was nothing a little Rune Factory 5 couldn't bring me back out of.
And I've now received my lovely Lost Book!! 📔
 
- Decided to take the day off uni because it was snowing heavily + I caught a cold. But happily my blocked nose is a lot better now and the snow didn't stick! 🥳 (not a fan of snow, just because of how disruptive it is for travel and stuff, the UK is terrible at dealing with it)

- Tried katsu curry sauce with some rice and fried chicken burger, it was pretty good! Also made a delicious chocolate orange mocha 😋

- It's like 5 weeks until I go to Japan, which seems like a really short time all of a sudden 😱
 
I’ve had a rough past two days. but my favorite person continues to be an absolute amazing human being. I haven’t felt more loved in my life. If she’s gonna hold me like that and talk to me in a baby voice every time I’m upset, I think I’m in good hands, lol. I just wasn’t expecting all that to transpire, but I loved every second of it.
I attempted to eat some Dots for the first time since receiving my full upper dental implant. These are on the verge of “things I probably shouldn’t be eating” but I wanted to attempt to eat one of my favorite candies. Cutting them in half with a knife makes it easier to eat.
Mario Kart 8 DLC dropped last night and I love the new stages, although I’m still getting used to them. We are getting five new characters in addition to Birdo, so that’s nice.

I’m getting paid sometime today, and that’s a bright spot of this week.
 
my IOP sessions have been going very well for me! I'm getting my medications sorted out, I have an amazing group of people I can talk to and vent to without judgement, I feel appreciated and loved and it's so nice to be able to hear it and see it come from somebody. I know people here appreciate me but actually seeing someone say it to your face hits so different. I've also been learning a lot of good things, like breathing exercises, stress management, recognizing emotions and letting them have their space without suppressing them, being creative, etc. I haven't had a depressive episode in a few weeks now and I'm very hopeful that I'm definitely on the road to recovery 💕💕💕💕💕

I started watching Kitchen Nightmares a few days ago, it's the first time in I literally can't remember how long that I started watching a new TV show, and I'm enjoying it a lot! it's like a combination of drama and comedy and Gordon Ramsay being there makes it even better haha

tomorrow my dad gets paid and my mom gets paid on Wednesday so we will finally have some money again, and they promised to give me a bit of it in exchange for being a caregiver for my mom and doing a few things around the house 😌

we are officially one month away from the release of the Super Mario Bros movie and I'm so excited!! I remember how hyped I was when they announced way back in September (?) 2021!! I'm honestly not even really worried abt whether or not the story is the best, just watching the movie and seeing my favorite game series of all time on the big screen will be so awesome!! 🤩

After not having taken paid commissions since 2017, I got a new one from @/Foreverfox a few days ago! it's also the first RLC commission I've done! I'm working on it right now and I'm absolutely thrilled that I'm making something I know she'll love, and in return she's helping me financially since I'm out of work and could use the money. I'll probably be working on it all evening and watching my show in the meantime :blush: 💙

planning on recording my Wii Sports Resort video very soon! I'm not feeling so well this evening so idk if I'll do it tonight, but I def want to tomorrow or this weekend!

I made an Instagram acct for my youtube channel and I've been posting a bunch of Tomodachi Collection stuff on here, people seem to love it! I just need to get more people to actually follow me on there, but I'm sure that will come with time.
 
Update: concert is postponed due to illness 😭😭😭
Oh dang, well at least you'll still be able to make it when it's rescheduled! I guess just use tonight as a like 'spa-night' and treat yourself to nice stuff. Some good food, a nice movie, ect. Sorry the show was postponed!


My cat has been losing weight from what the vet mentioned, so I'm glad that I've been able to get a better feeding schedule for her. She often doesn't eat it all in one sitting so I put her food back down every now and then during the day until it's all gone.

I was feeling kinda low today, so my mom took us out to get ice cream, and it did make me feel a lot better. 💖 I got my old favorite from since I was little—rainbow sherbet on a waffle cone, with rainbow sprinkles ofc—and it was just as good as I remember it being.
We all watched fWhip's latest Empires episode this evening!
I was able to finish a few more rubber band bracelets!
And I cleared Basara's Hideaway in Rune Factory 5!
 
💌 daily happies:

☕️ My dad drove me to get coffee this morning even though he was in the middle of a Zoom meeting. Living legend.

🍃 I worked on getting back into the groove of studying after having a whole *gasp* five days off, and it went slowly but at least I got something done.

🍜 I went out to dinner with my family yesterday and accidentally told my mom some big news about my career plans. She initially took it terribly, but calmed down quickly, so… win? Also, delicious noodles.

☎️ Finally got around to calling one of my friends. It was nice to catch up on his life updates!

🚜 Flattened my island and am now reconstructing it from scratch – I’m liking how it’s turning out! I may be a liiiiittle bit addicted but hey, we’ll deal with that later.

🍿 Spoke with my partner about some of my needs for our future plans, and they were extremely supportive even though I was nervous to bring it up. And then we watched a movie and they read to me. What a lovely person. I love them so much.

🎥 Watched a horror movie with my parents. It was nice to have some family time together.

📔 TBT is offering a welcome distraction in these stressful times. Thanks to everyone who keeps this place going, I appreciate y’all ✨ Have a great night / morning / day!
 
Update: concert is postponed due to illness 😭😭😭
Awww, I'm so sorry. That must be terribly disappointing. 😟

Today I'm happy because:

- I contacted a handyman about fixing our basement door. Hopefully we can get that done soon.
- I took walks on both my morning and afternoon breaks. I also stepped away for a few minutes to myself in between meetings.
- I did some reading during my lunch break and finished the chapter I started last night.
- I got a decent amount of work done despite facing system issues all day.
- Several of my co-workers were showing off their puppies during video chats today!
- My dog was so excited to see me when I got home this evening.
- My husband and I spent some quality time together.
- I enjoyed a hot shower and put on some fresh, warm pajamas tonight.
 
♡ Decided to take a little break from my Pokémon Violet game and start up a couple more games over the last couple days.

♡ I started up my AC:NH game and found a pretty good island with all the features I was looking for. Named it Cocoa Bay. I love chocolate, so the name seemed fitting. 😊

♡ Also started up my Nintendo Switch Sports game to play some bowling and start collecting the clothing items. I actually created my new file just in time for a 3x point event, which allowed me to collect all three clothing sets. Now I'm all caught up till next weeks new release items. 😁
 
Yo, crashing the party before the day is over!

- Work went well and I got a lot done.

- The Dallas Stars abosolutely DEMOLISHED the Buffalo Sabres 10-4 in hockey tonight. It was the second most goals scored in a game for the Stars in franchise history!!! 🏒 🔥 🤩

- I earned my 6th, 7th, and 8th gym badges in my Pokemon White Nuzlocke without losing anyone.

Funny thing is, the 8th Dragon type gym was supposed to be difficult, but my team made quick work of it. Skar the Stoutland took out a bunch of the trainers thanks to Ice Fang. Then I faced Iris in battle, and put my strategy into play. I used Yawn with TOFWALVM the Musharna and then switched to Micheal the Krookodile as Iris's Fraxure fell asleep. I then proceeded to spam Foul Play with Micheal, and once Fraxure fainted his Moxie ability activated. I OHKO'ed her Fraxure, two-shot her Druddigon, and then did a good deal of damage to her Haxorus before it used Dragon Tail. Thankfully for me, it switched me right back into Stoutland, and I finished off her Haxorus with Ice Fang for the win!! 🤩

Now all that's left to do is train up to take on Team Plasma, the E4, and champion. 😌
 
  • I went to a really cool place on Friday. It's a combined cafe/eatery/bar/mini bookstore all in one. It was a really cool place and their food was really good. I bought Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman while I was there, which I read over the weekend and really enjoyed
