- Moved in with my girlfriend yesterday.
- Started my new job today.
- Treated myself to Papa John's because I am sick as a dog yet powered through the move and first day on the job regardless - oh, and I saved more than 50% on my order to bring it down to a reasonable price for a takeaway pizza!

Trust I seek and I find in you
I got my cat, Caramel, back. (Also heads-up, context and very emotional text ahead, aha.)
One of our neighbors was keeping our cats with her for months and wouldn't give them back after confronting her about it. We managed to get Wookie last week, but we still needed Caramel.
One of our other neighbors called to say they saw Caramel on our neighbor's porch, and my brother and I brought some cat treats and went over. Caramel approached us, we grabbed her and brought her home.
I sorta wish there was a more 'civil' way of getting Caramel that wasn't snatching her from the sidewalk, but I don't think there was any other option honestly, but either way.
I am so ******* happy right now. We got my cat back. I literally cried tears of joy as soon as I stepped into my house. I don't know if I have any other words to describe our victory and my happiness. But now I can enjoy the presence and love from Caramel and Wookie again.

☾ My family and I watched GoodTimesWithScar's first Limited Life episode this evening and it was hilarious. Nice to see what some of the other groups are up to as well!
☾ Got to work on some more rubber band bracelets today and used up the last of another color! I'd love to have them all used up before the move honestly, but I really amassed a lot of these back when they were popular, so I'm not sure how likely that'll be. But hey, every little bit counts.

daily happies: 
first day back at school after break. i woke up early, was productive, treated myself (mostly) with kindness, didn't waste too much time on endless scrolling, and will be going to bed at a decent time. i did spent forty minutes neurotically braiding and re-braiding my hair, but i will extend myself the grace to not focus on that part too much.
got a great deal of studying done today. not a lot of problem-solving, but a lot of note-taking. i used the pomodoro method to bully myself into speeding up, and it does it the trick!
my friend invited me over to share some news with me over snacks. it was nice to see her... and eat bubble tea mochi... oh man, i'm going to be dreaming about it forever...
my partner's at a wrestling event today. this may not be directly related to me but they seem like they're having a great time, and i'm so happy because they really deserve to let loose and watch some adults beat pretend to beat each other up. woohoo!
i'm tired, but satisfied with how the day went. thanks for being part of it, dear fellow thread members. see ya on the flip side!

Only a few things for today!
- I did some hands-on work at college today and got to lift a car on a hoist and removed a tire! It's nice getting some experience and it really helped especially since one of my classmates already had experience working in a shop and gave me a few pointers. It was pretty much about identifying different parts of the brake system. Really had a lot of fun doing stuff!
- Ate some subway for lunch.
- While I was at the mall to buy myself something to eat, I had a look through the Hotwheels section and managed another good find! It may be something that @/LadyDestani would like to hear, and that is a 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray! Great how I found this C2 Corvette because it's the last one I saw. If I didn't go to the mall for the sole reason of getting food, I don't think I would've had this car in my collection.
The packaging looks so good that I honestly don't want to rip it open. But ultimately, I'm gonna do it eventually so I can appreciate the car for what it is. Also, the Corvette name has been around for 70 years now which is absolutely awesome as seen on the packaging itself. That's a very long time and a lot of things in the world have changed since! To me, each generation has its own unique styling that catches my eye every time. 
And before I stop rambling, it's actually not the only Corvette model that I have in my collection. I also have the C7 Z06 Convertible (left) and the C8.R! I should probably imitate a livery of the latter in Gran Turismo 7 someday lol. Would be lovely to get the other generations eventually, but that'll be a huge ask.

Today I'm happy because:
- I managed to roll out of bed in time for my first morning meeting.
- I had an easy day of work so I was able to take things slow since I was so tired.
- I watched a squirrel hopping around in my backyard.
- The weather was a bit warmer today and sunny.
- I rescued a worm from the side of the road.
- My dog was being cuddly and extra cute today.
- I made some progress on coming up with a name for my FFXIV character.

Those are some awesome Hotwheels! I didn't realize this year was Corvette's 70th anniversary. That's really cool!
➣ I did some clothes shopping online today. It’s about that time where I get new pants. I bought two pairs tonight, and will get the next two within the next month — I am waiting to accumulate points, so I can get my last two pants at a discounted rate. I took the smarter route!
➣ I got into a conversation with someone at work today and he seems cool. Normally I keep my distance from minors, but seems I had other plans today. We talked about my interest in travel and about anime. I may have opened up a bit too much, so hopefully I don’t regret that.
➣ I finished watching the second season of Spy X Family.
➣ I had loads of fun battling tonight on Mario Kart after work!

☾ Worked on my current art request some more today!
☾ My parents and I watched SmallishBeans' most recent episode of Empires, which was a lot of fun!
☾ I got out Pokémon Legends: Arceus for the first time in what feels like forever, and somehow managed to figure out what I was doing.
So I got some research tasks completed, trained up my current team so they're closer to being ready for their Path of Solitude challenges, and recovered a few player satchels!

Today I'm happy because:
- It was another calm work day and I accomplished everything that needed to be done.
- I watched some birds in my backyard while I worked.
- I cuddled and played with my dog.
- I spent some quality time with my husband.
- I started adjusting my schedule to make more time for the things I want to do. It was only a minor change tonight, but at least it's a start.
- I get to leave work early tomorrow for a massage therapy appointment.

Life's been busy, and I haven't posted here in a while, so I really thought I should. 
They're mostly small things, but it's probably good to be grateful for the small things too.
They're mostly small things, but it's probably good to be grateful for the small things too. - I had some time this evening to browse TBT. Always love seeing pet pics on TBT!
- Yesterday I went to the (plant) nursery with someone, and ended up with two new plants.
I haven't had the chance to pot them yet, hopefully tomorrow! - I traded in some potion collectibles for a Sheep Plush, which I'm really thrilled about!
- Work has been really busy, but I'm really pleased to see some positive signals in data I collected recently.
- I went to the specialty chocolate store and bought a plush bilby for Easter. A little early for Easter, but this shop always sells bilbies at Easter, so I wanted to get something. Bilbies and the Easter Bilby (the Australian alternative to the Easter Bunny) are really nostalgic and sentimental for me.
- I've been spending more time reading. At the moment I'm about 1/3 the way through LOTR: The Return of the King, and I'm also almost finished The Female Eunuch.
- I went to the dentist for my regular checkup/cleaning, which is not particularly exciting, but it feels nice to check something off the list that I don't have to think about for another 6 months!
- Lastly, I opened up my iPad on the weekend and started working on a new drawing. I haven't had the time to sit down and dedicate time to drawing lately, so I'm glad I was able to do it.
For my 20th birthday my boyfriend bought me my dream shoes - a pair of New Rock boots Ive wanted since I was around 16 and they cost HUNDREDS. The only issue was my birthday was in January and they take ages to arrive because we bought them on Pre-Order which was 40 days and then then was another few weeks for shipping. Its been almost 4 months BUT today we missed a delivery for a package from UPS and we've only bought one thing with delivery by UPS: the shoes. They said they will re-attempt delivery the next working day which is TOMORROW and that they need to be signed for... which would indicate further that these are my nearly 300 euro shoes.
If it's not my shoes I will go absolutely insane. But if it IS then I will go absolutely insane for a different reason.
Im not even in the city again until next week but just the thought of having my dream boots that I never in my life thought Id ever ever get is so so so so cool !!!!

I’m going to Windsor Castle at Easter. This will also be my first day trip (outside of my home county) since the pandemic. I can’t wait!

☾ I got to play Pokémon Legends: Arceus again today! I cleared the Path of Solitude with a couple more Pokémon, finally caught my first Shieldon and Cranidos, and found a shiny female Hippowdon in a mass outbreak! Recovered some player satchels and made some decent research progress too.
☾ I planned out a new aesthetic that I'll be switching to soon! I bought another White Rose from the shop for the lineup I'm planning for it, and since I use that collectible quite a bit anyway, I'm hoping to use it for other lineups in the future too.
☾ Spent the evening watching stuff with my mom!

daily happies:
️ I've been sticking to my plan of not spending outrageous amounts of money (and calories) on sugary teas and coffees (which I'm fairly addicted to). Today I made myself black tea and coffee, and bought a cold brew with no sweeteners/milk/etc. Small steps!
In a similar vein, I'm sticking to my food goals. Specifically, I'm trying out intermittent fasting. I'm succeeding at not eating in the morning, but still adjusting to the night cutoff period since I get home so late. I'll keep tinkering with it, but it's going well so far. I'm cooking dinners and packing lunches for myself, which feels great. Eggs are an absolute lifesaver.
One of my notorious laborious and difficult classes went super smoothly today. In a slog of a week, it was a lovely surprise, and reminded me that things don't * have * to be super hard for no reason.
One of my classes was canceled today, so two of my friends and I hunkered down at the library to study for five or so hours. It was super productive and peaceful. I listened to some good tunes.
Went to physics office hours and got a significant chunk of my homework done.
🕯 Bought a new candle for myself (Yankee Candle's Sage and Citrus). I normally go for autumnal, food-ie scents (flavors?) with apples / pumpkins / vanilla, so this was a nice switch-up. My room smells clean.
I've been feeling really crappy after I did terribly on a quiz yesterday, even though I know that in the grand scheme of things, it barely matters. However, I worked really hard today despite the clouds hanging over my head, and I'm proud of that.
My partner helped me study for bio even though they were tired. Just seeing their face in the evening makes me feel happier. They also emphasized that they want me to journal today, which I shall do, to keep my promise to them.
I'm working my way through a slab of aged Gouda and it's HECKING delicious.
I'm incorporating checking TBT in the evenings when I can as part of my nightly routine, and it's comforting. I hope y'all have a great day or night. Drink water and take care of yourselves!
