What Are You Happy About Today?

- Went out for lunch with my friend, had a good time catching up with him and tried an eggs benedict for the first time! It was really nice 😀

- Came home, had a warm bath, and then had a slice of bakery carrot cake. A good feeling considering it's been freezing cold and rainy all day (though now it's extremely sunny??)

- My mum is making chickpea + cauliflower korma for dinner tonight, so looking forward to it.

- Overall a good food day I suppose 😅
 
ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ the weather outside was absolutely glorious today! it wasn’t too hot, too cold, and it was vv sunny! ☀️ i didn’t think i’d get to enjoy it much, but i decided to take some time for myself after dinner and go for a walk! it was a short one, but i still had a nice time! lots of people were out enjoying the lovely weather as well, and i got to see a bunch of dogs + say hello to a couple of my neighbours! now that the weather’s getting nicer, i’m going to try and make it a habit to go on walks more often ☺️

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ did two new tasks by myself for the first time! albeit they’re simple tasks lol, i’m still proud of myself :’)

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ she 🖤🖤

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ had another decent day at school! i’m feeling extra grateful that i had this past weekend to myself to just relax, because now my workload is picking up and i’m starting to get busy again 😅 gotta take things one day at a time, though!

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ received my mark back on an assignment i completed last week, and i got 5/5 marks, plus some really thoughtful feedback from my teacher! 🥳

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ a new chapter of one of the multi-chapter fanfics i’ve been reading was published, and i enjoyed it a lot!
 
Spoilers for medication mention.

I started Adderall today to help my silly little ADHD and I've not felt this happy in a LONG TIME. even the comedown isn't bad like I was originally expecting. It's so crazy that I have this treatment available now for something that I thought would plague me forever... Relief! I'm so happy!! AND I got my thyroid meds so I'm REALLY in track to becoming a healthier version of myself!! 2023 WILL be my year 😍
 
Today I'm happy because:

- We had a plumber come install a new sump pump and clear the outdoor drain, so all of that should work properly now. We haven't had a chance to test it yet, but it's supposed to rain all weekend so fingers crossed it goes well and we don't end up with water all over the basement again.
- I made it through my work day and completed everything I promised to do today.
- I got to take a walk on my morning break and leave early this afternoon.
- I had a good session with my massage therapist.
- I had a delicious veggie stromboli for dinner and I have leftovers for tomorrow.
- We spent the evening with my in-laws, niece and nephews at the lake house they rented for spring break. I love getting to see the kids!
- We took a boat ride on the lake as the sun was setting.
- We saw several deer on the drive home. Luckily none of them tried to cross the road. We were keeping an eye on them.
- My dog was so happy to see us when we got home. He's asleep in his bed beside me right now and looks so adorable.
 
I should be permanently moving to morning shifts sooner rather than later. My replacement was just hired and I just need to train her for the closing shifts. This is moving wayyyy faster than I’d imagined!
I worked a long shift at my second job today which will be great for my paycheck.
I was informed that my bracelet for Disney World arrived in the mail. It’s used as a hotel key and entry for parks. Too bad it has my deadname on it. At least it’s very subtle, though.
Overall, it’s been an stress-free day, and I see my favorite person tomorrow. Fun times!
 
I played Rune Factory 5 for a little while today! I'm almost through getting all the second stage renovations done on this file, though I think I'll probably switch back to my other file soon.
Was finally able to squeeze in the time to work on my current art request some more! I've had a lot going on but I'm glad to have gotten back to it.
My parents and I caught up a little more with GoodTimesWithScar's Limited Life series, and my mom and I got to hang out for a while afterwards!
 
I’ve been itching for some nostalgia recently, so I decided to pick up Animal Crossing GameCube again for the first time and years. I had forgotten how much I love this game, and the simplicity of it. I got one of my favourite villagers as one of my starters!!! Deena! The graphics and the old personality types in this game make me so happy 🙃
 
Fought and defeated the Ender Dragon in Minecraft today for the first time ever! I had some time afterwards to earn a few easy achievements too, so I'm quite happy with the play session I had.
I played Rune Factory 5 this evening too! Won the Autumn Harvest Festival on this file and I've gotten to the point where I can handle the first couple floors of the Rigbarth Maze without too much trouble—the yellow dragons on the third floor are another story, but I'll figure out how best to deal with them later ahahah.
Watched some Youtube videos with my family! GeminiTay swapping in for ZombieCleo on Limited Life was a lot of fun.
 
don’t have much to talk about today, but i hope you’re all doing well <3 the weekend‘s almost here!

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ had my weekly session with my counsellor today, and it went really well! she finally sent a referral for me to receive a psych reevaluation, which i’ve been wanting for so, so long. i received my first (and only) psych evaluation when i was like 10, and things have definitely changed since then heh. i’m not sure what’ll come of it, but i’m so grateful that it’s finally in motion! kinda nervous tho, wish me luck lol <3

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ helped my dad clean up the kitchen after dinner!

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ did some self-care ^^

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ came up with some more new lineup ideas! new collectibles and tbt events always inspire me to create new lineups, i love it sm ☺️

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ this community is genuinely so kind?? i’m just scrolling through and i see people giving away in-game stuff, art, collectibles, compliments etc all the time and it’s like wow… everyone is so incredible?? the kindness ya’ll show to me and to others always warms my heart, i love it here 💙
 
Today I'm happy because:

- There were no new issues at work today! Yay!
- I had a busy day of meetings but still managed to complete my most important tasks and clear out some emails.
- The weather was gorgeous again. I love this summer-like weather!
- I saw some cute neighborhood dogs on our afternoon walk.
- I saw Olive, the bunny, and Fergie, the groundhog in our yard today.
- I forgot to mention this yesterday but when we were out on the boat, we saw a heron standing on the shoreline, then it flew away. It was my first time seeing one in real life.
- I had a nice shower this evening. I didn't get a chance to take one yesterday so it felt extra good today.
- I had my leftover veggie stromboli for dinner.
- Tomorrow is Friday!
 
My favorite person informed me she purchased the DLC for Mario Kart 8. I’m glad she can finally use Birdo, who admittedly was not a favorite of mine but she very quickly grew on me. Plus, she uses the Blue Birdo because it reminds her of me. We were also talking in a group setting for no more than a few minutes and ofc we ended up with our arms around each other, lmao. I just loved how she was holding my waist the whole time. It’s that level of protection I never knew I needed.
She also asked me how things are going with my mom since we haven’t exactly been on the best of terms until recently. It means a lot to me that she’s checking on me.
Not sure if I’ve mentioned this before, but the girl my mom is bringing with us to Disney World has a Switch, and we have been playing Mario Kart a ton. I also appreciate my mom adding me in later to the hotel reservations. It’s only a two bed, and my mom is fine sharing a bed with the friend, so I can have my own bed.
She booked everything way back in January and I didn’t agree to go until last month, lol.
I’m just happy my mom and I are finally getting along. It really was a long time coming.
I had chicken nuggets earlier from McDonald’s. I had a brilliant idea to pour buffalo and ranch sauce on them in the container and shake it. It was a huge improvement to the usual nuggets.
