What Are You Happy About Today?

that i got a ton load of poo out today, again, after a while of not getting a ton load out, but little bits....

mum says it's good that i did... i agree... :>
but i still don't like it.... :<
 
Got a lot done today! Went to the bank and sorted out some stuff relating to travel insurance (turns out I'm covered by my mum's insurance, so don't even need to buy any!), then visited my grandma, went food shopping, and managed to pick up a plug adapter that works UK --> US + Asian countries :) Also got a Lindor easter egg 🐰💐

I got some ripe mango and ate an entire one by myself lol, mango is one of my fav fruits I'm happy it's in-season! The BN biscuits I got were really good too, I've never actually had them before which is surprising,,

It was another really beautiful sunny day too <3

Um...tmi?

@Foreverfox I didn't know Nicholas was having surgery, but I'm glad everything went well!

I got my federal and state tax refunds. It's always nice to have a bit of a financial blanket.

Work went well and while very busy, I was able to get a lot done. So I won't have anything piled over for tomorrow when I go back. It's always nice to manage that.

After work I mulched all around different spots trees, bushes, ect. Wherever it needed it. I still need to get some mulch for my massive vegetable garden section, but it's a start and it's looking really good. Spring weather is finally coming and I am going to get a jump on getting the gardens ready and then maybe plan a spot for my strawberry garden if I can get around to it.

I'm ready to get the planter boxes ready. I have four I made from scrap wood and they are still doing well. One of them had one side of the wall rot away, so I just need to re-scrap that side and it will be good to go. And I bought two galvanized ones that won't rot or rust.

I plan on growing lettuce, spinach, carrots, onions, beets/turnips, and a few other things in them and using the actual ground of the garden for the bulk like tomatoes, squash, melons, ect. And then trying out this cool fancy big dehydrator someone gave me and testing it out on some tomatoes, melon pieces ect.

Soon the weather will break all the way and I can uncover the asparagus garden. Looking forward to seeing if they survived this winter...I hope so.
 
hello hello long time no see! i didn’t mean to be so inactive the past few months, but school and life have had me in a vice grip recently 😅 i’ve missed being around though, and i finally seem to be getting on top of things, so i thought it was time for me to try and come back! i can’t promise i won’t disappear again, but i’ll do my best lol. egg hunt in 3 days woo!

i planned to talk about all of the major happy things that’ve happened since i last posted, but uh. lazy lol, so i’m just gonna focus on today. i hope you all have been well! i’ve missed you guys sm <3

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ had a pretty decent day at school! tonight’s the first night in over a month where i don’t have a single assignment to worry about, and i definitely plan on enjoying it! school has been taking up sm of my energy and i’ve been working so hard to stay on top of assignments, it feels really nice to have had the afternoon and now tonight to just relax. i definitely needed this :’)

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ had a meeting with my guidance counsellor about an issue i’ve been having. i’ve been putting off talking to her about it for so long because of how anxious i was, and i was so tempted to cancel, but i got it over with finally and it went reasonably well! she was very considerate of the obstacles i’ve been having, and i was able to talk about the problem better than i thought i’d be able to. the issue still hasn’t been resolved, but i’m glad i got the first step of solving it out of the way!

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ got around to listening to melanie martinez’s new album in full! i wasn’t sure how i’d feel about it since this album is different than her previous ones, but she ofc slayed like always. i love how mystical all of the songs sounded, and the concept. <3 i can’t wait to see where she takes her music next!

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ another meeting that i thought i had after school is actually gonna take place next week! i really didn’t want to deal with it today, especially because of how much energy my anxiety over my meeting with my guidance counsellor took up, so i’m happy that i don’t have to worry about it until next week! i can only handle one anxiety-inducing meeting a day lol.

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ the bonky 🖤

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ changed my aesthetic! it’s definitely more of a spring aesthetic than an easter one, but i think it’s pretty! 💓

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ changed my calendar to april! i’m a few days late, but considering i didn’t change my calendar at all last month (when ur so exhausted from school that you can’t even flip your calendar over 😍), a few days late is better than never lol. it’s the little things!

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ completed and handed in the only assignment that i had to do today!
 
☾ I got to see some new art of one of my comfort characters!! Not sure if it's new or just new to me but I'm good either way ahaha. 💚
☾ I played Rune Factory 5 for a good long while! I tried to take it as easy as I could today and this game pretty much always perks my mood up, so I'm glad I got to play.
☾ Made a few more rubber band bracelets!
☾ And my family and I watched fWhip's latest Empires episode!
☾ I've also got a doctor's appointment tomorrow so I can try to get on something to help me deal with my anxiety/depression. I'm honestly pretty nervous about it (tw: especially because the last time I tried to bring this up with who I thought was a trusted family doctor, she dismissed me out of hand and told me I "need to get used to the real world" 🙃), but I'm also really hopeful that it'll go well and that I can finally start getting some help for this. Wish me luck! 🤞
 
Today I'm happy because:

- It was so warm and beautiful outside.
- I watched birds, squirrels, and a groundhog in my backyard while I worked.
- I had a fairly easy work day and got a few things accomplished.
- Tomorrow is my last day of work for the week!
- My new avatar! Look at him! My little Leif is so adorable! Thanks to the super talented @jadetine! 💚🦥💚

Two things

1. I got some bands inbetween some of my teeth in preparation for braces!! Needed them for years now so finally making progress is great, and it feels like a years-long achieveable/clear goal which is the kinda thing I haven’t had since I was a kid tbh

2. Actually excited about the Barbie movie, the memes are hilarious and the movie looks fun wether it’ll be good or not. Also those of you who haven’t seen Life In The Dreamhouse should give it a chance, that show is actually good for no reason lmao. I love when Barbie is self-aware
 
  • Woke up today and realised today is the last working day of the week! I knew of course, I just didn't put it together in my brain.
  • I thought I was going to need to stop by on all four days of the long weekend to monitor some work I have running, but some colleagues offered to help, so I'll only need to come in 2/4 days.
  • I'm looking forward to my first TBT egg decorating contest! I don't remember ever decorating an egg before (though maybe I have?), but I'm excited to decorate an egg. I don't have any solid ideas for how to decorate yet. 😊 Also looking forward to participating in the egg hunt. 🐣
  • This was the dog on my daily calendar this morning! 10/10 would invite to be a villager on my island (or help her find her communicator parts of course).

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ tbt’s third egg decorating contest started today! i didn’t get a chance to participate in 2021, so i’m hoping i’ll be able to do so this year! i have an idea that i’ve been wanting to do since 2021, too (though i gotta run it by staff first hehe). i’m looking forward to seeing what egg designs everyone comes up with! the entries i’ve seen so far have been super cute!

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ it’s been raining all day, and i woke up this morning to my room being super cold because my window was open! ya’ll know how much i love it when my room gets cold (i’m always so warm, even during the winter lol). ☺️ i haven’t been feeling it when it’s been gloomy out lately, but i enjoyed it today! the cold temps and lightening/thunder were pretty rad <3

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ had another decent day at school! i was able to complete an assignment for one of my classes, and since it was the only new assignment i received today, that means i have another night to myself to just relax! 🥳 i’m very grateful for that, since i really have been working my butt off haha. 2 days in a row without any work to worry about seemed impossible just a week ago lol

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ tidied up my room. i’ve honestly been really slacking in keeping my room tidy lately, so i spent some time while my parents were out cleaning up. i got rid of all the garbage in my room, and i feel much better as a result. i always feel good when my space is tidy. 😌

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ miss bonk went to get her nails trimmed this evening! she was a very good girl the whole time 🖤

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ i feel more like myself and productive again <3 i’ve been struggling the past month, so i’m really happy and grateful to not feel so crappy anymore haha

i‘ve stopped to stare at your avatar every time i’ve seen you around today haha, it’s just so precious! renn is so talented ♥️
 
Today I'm happy because:

- It was so warm and lovely outside. I didn't need a jacket or long sleeves even in the morning. It felt more like summer than spring.
- We had a cook-out/potluck at work and the food was amazing. I had grilled chicken marinated in Indian spices, chickpea curry, naan bread, macaroni and potato salad, a brownie, and eclair cake. I was stuffed but it all tasted so good!
- I got to leave work early for a massage therapy appointment. The massage felt really good.
- I found out a Japanese BBQ restaurant just opened up nearby. I hope to check it out sometime soon.
- I'm off work for the next 4 days! Yay for a long weekend!
- I'm excited to see everyone's creations in the Egg Decorating Contest! Everyone here is so creative!

tsym, xara 🥺❤️ I'm happy to say that it actually went better than I was hoping! My new doctor was super lovely and understanding, and she gave me a couple of low-dose prescriptions (one of which I have to wait a few days before starting ofc) that I'm hoping will work for me. So far so good! I'm really glad to hear you've been feeling better too!


☾ bless staff for releasing the egg decorating contest this morning, it was exactly what I needed 🙏 I was super nervous about my appointment and had a lot of time before I needed to leave, but this gave me something else to focus my energy towards and I felt so much better for it. I spent pretty much all my spare time today on my egg lol but I was really motivated and I had a blast doing it!
☾ I also did get to watch GoodTimesWithScar's third episode of Limited Life this evening with my parents! I feel bad for enjoying the session where Grian was too sick to participate as much as I do ahaha, but the antics were truly top-notch. 😅 We watched some more Youtube a little later on too!
