What Are You Happy About Today?

- I went shopping today. I brought a new pair of shoes at the mall and some art supplies.
- My Mini Amiibo Card for Julian came in the mail.

- Spent time with my relatives and chatted with them.
- Took care of the cat. Here are some more cute pictures of Luna to cheer you guys up. The third picture is her climbing the fabric behind the closet door when she was a kitten. She's Ninja Kitty!

I’m pleasantly surprised because I somehow got a training shift at my second job, before I received one at my main job. I didn’t know I was training anybody and I don’t think he’s sticking around, but it still went well in my opinion. He was just asking me to help him apply for other jobs, which is… definitely not a good look.
I’m excited for my team’s hockey game tonight. After the previous game (4) I’m not too confident with any lead, but I’ll see how this game plays out.
I was able to test a few new menu items at my job before they go live, and I loved the new hot honey chicken sandwich. Shame it’s only temporary. I’ll enjoy it while I can.
 
I found this today on one bucket after thinking my mushroom project failed.

This makes me happy. Maybe I will get a few mushies to try this year afterall?
Not sure why they are brown though lol. I'll research.
I've been so busy with other things lately.
 
- It's nice outside again today!

- Work has gone well.

- Had a tasty burger and fries for lunch.

- The Texas Rangers play the Cincinatti Reds again. Hoping for a dub this time.

- The Dallas STARS play the Minnesota Wild in a pivotal game 5 of the first round playoffs tonight. Hoping the Stars can win and take a 3-2 series lead.

- Honkai: Star Rail releases tonight! 🤩
 
Got enough Athlete Points in Pokémon HeartGold that I should be set for all the evolutionary stones I want. I already got the Fire Stone since it was in stock today and evolved my Growlithe into Arcanine!!
Two out of three of the Pokémon TCG cards I ordered recently got here safely today!! ;v; The art is so nice in-person too; I love the holo effects. I only collect very specific ones, but they fit perfectly in my mini-bromide album, so that's getting nicer to flip through as well hehe. The third one should hopefully be arriving soon too.
Read another chapter in Lover Pretend! Just one more to go + the good ending and I'll be finished with this route too, then there'll just be two more to go.
My family and I are all caught up with SolidarityGaming's Empires series again!
I found more new official art of one of my faves!! I feel blessed 🥺💚
 
ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ had another decent day at school! i managed to drag myself to all 3 of my classes today, so i’m kinda proud of myself :’) something i’ve been anxious about for the past week was also resolved, which was a big relief 😅 overall not a bad day!

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ received my mid-term report card today — guess who has 90’s in all of her classes!!! 🥳 my highest mark is a 98, which is… wow. i am really working my butt off over here, so i’m relieved that my marks are reflecting it so far! ☺️

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ i have the day off school tomorrow! it won’t be much of a day off since i have to spend most of it working on assignments, but at least i can wake up whenever i want 🤣

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ read some more new fanfics, ofc haha

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ did some self-care 😌

gonna end my night by eating some delicious kiwi! nighty night friends 🖤
 
The weather was once again nice today and the all of a sudden freaky wind that popped up last night calmed down today. Also, I made a huge decision to reset all the current games I was playing and my Switch due to specific reasons. My last NH island I was seriously starting to dislike the airport color, as I'm not too terribly fond of the color green and I felt like I could do better. Plus, there was some things on my Pokémon game that I couldn't change unless I reset.

I'm happier now. Also, once last thing, I found out that My Time at Sandrock is coming out this Summer! So I'll work on my current games I want to play till it comes out. I'm looking forward to it. 😊
 
Today did not go well for me in general, but I still found some things to be happy about:

- I saw some cute dogs today.
- The weather was pretty nice again.
- My husband was extra sweet to me, letting me vent and trying to cheer me up.
- My dog gave me lots of kisses.
- The day is pretty much over. Hoping tomorrow will be better.
 
A lot of things have been working out well recently, and that's making me feel good today!

  • Got back the same ADHD meds I took 3 years ago. I think if I start taking them regularly, the side effects will start to get better. Things went well over all for getting them, although originally getting into the clinic for them was a mess and took months but it's fine now
  • Went to the super sento (big public bath with sauna rooms, manga, dining area, etc. very similar to Korean spas) on Monday. I realized I should only go went I'm in an okay mood and really want to go since most of the time spent there is in reflection. I came out of it feeling refreshed, and the 40 min crisp walk back home had me in a good mood as well. I'm very glad the shuttle bus to the place is right near my apartment (bonus pic they do a lot of anime tie-ins and now it's Tokyo Revengers lol)
  • The super sento had a big selection of travel mags for places within Japan. My previous plans for Golden Week (a number of national holidays that line up, people like to travel then, this year it's a 5-day break) fell through so I wanted to some some last minute solo travel. I was interested in seeing Mt. Fuji and picked up a mag for a prefecture that'd be good to see it and decided on an area right away! Was able to get some good info, and the next day I booked two guesthouses which were the last beds available for both, good timing!
  • Today I researched a bit more into the highway bus and found out that not only can I reserve them online, but that the times I wanted only had a couple of seats left! I got that settled right away as well, phew!
  • I went to the unemployment agency (although I do have a job, I'm just planning on changing jobs) and got some good info. The only time that worked for me was very early in the morning before work but the timing ended up working out perfect
  • I marked some spots on Google map for places I want to visit on my trip. Sad that it'll be raining everyday, but hopefully at least the first day the view will be good!

Today I'm happy because:

- I saw some cute dogs as I was leaving for work this morning.
- It looks like we are going to make our deadlines for some high priority work. We've been running into issues since last week and I've been trying to coordinate everything, which has been really stressful, but it all seems to be on track now. Fingers crossed for a successful test run tomorrow.
- We had really nice spring weather all day.
- I got to leave work early this afternoon.
- I had a good massage therapy appointment.
- We got a bunch of recyclables prepped and put out for pick up tomorrow.
- I rewarded myself for making it through some difficult days with a Mint Chocolate Chip milkshake.
 
My follow-up appointment with my doctor went really well today! I'm always nervous about these sorts of things so it's a big relief when they go smoothly.
The last Pokémon TCG card I ordered got here safely!! ;v; The timing couldn't have been better and my collection is complete again, at least for the time being.
TCG collection.jpg

three guesses as to the theme and the first two don't count
I got the thing I needed to complete the last puzzle in the Ruins of Alph, caught the last two forms of Unown, and completed the Unown Report in Pokémon HeartGold! 💛
My family and I got a little more caught up with GoodTimesWithScar's Limited Life series!
 
had a slightly difficult but pleasant chat w @/Shellzilla_515 this evening, I'm very grateful for friends who are willing to listen to my vents and rambles without judgement 💕

also spent like four and a half hours (at least according to the play time) playing my Wii today, and three of those hours were used playing Wii Sports. I desperately wanted to beat my 7 home run record on the Hitting Home Runs challenge, and I managed to get to 9! I would like to eventually hit all 10, and possibly even get the platinum medal! I also spectated some tennis games (you can set all four miis to CPUs and just watch them play without you yourself playing), and I moved the camera to the side of the net and pretended to be the umpire lol. there was one match in particular that involved Matt and Jackie vs. Ryan and Helen, that was a wild ride 😂

ofc I'm still enjoying playing european Tomodachi Life, today I added Silke, Jackie, and Helen to my island!
and something really strange happened in my game before I left for work on Tuesday. I saw that Lucia had a little heart in her window (meaning that she wants to ask someone out), so I went to see what it was, and she said "I have feelings for tyuiop" uhhh excuse me? my boy??? so just for ****s and giggles I told her to ask him out, and he agreed????? so uhhh yeah my mii is in a relationship w Lucia in tomodachi life 😂 😭
I keep joking about it now bc I really just can't get over it, it's such a bizzare situation. I told @/Shellzilla_515 that perhaps she caught feelings for him when they played balance boat together in Dii Party. and out of the 30+ times I played the Hitting Home Runs challenge earlier I only saw Lucia pitch ONCE and then she disappeared, and he suggested that she was like "oh shoot there's my bf" and hurriedly ran off lol. currently in Tomodachi Life, when looking at it from Lucia's perspective, she already has a marriage planned, but when looking at it from tyuiop's perspective it's "just in love", so that "let's get married" feeling is not reciprocated 🤣 I really can't wait to see how this relationship plays out, it will probably forever affect the way that I see Lucia in Wii Sports and WSR haha (aka I can't wait to go up against her in table tennis and/or see her again in Wii Party)
there are some other things happening in the game too but this whole relationship w Lucia thing is so wild I'm hardly thinking about anything else lollllll

I'm really enjoying my job so far, I get to go in again tomorrow (or later today ig haha)!

I just figured out that i can watch the mario bros show, super mario world and mario 3 for free because i have a roku tv?
I'm still confused but yay?
highkey need to see this bc I've always wanted to watch the episode of the SMW show where mario's like THAT'S A STONE LUIGI, YOU DIDNT MAKE IT lol I need to see it w my own eyes
 
- I went to a regional park to spend time with my relatives. It was nice to be outdoors in nature and go for a walk with my cousins. We ate some yummy food as well like rice and fruits. In addition, I admired the view the lake and birds I saw.
- Found these Pokémon drawings that I drew when I was a teenager.

- I worked out at home.
- Completed some assignment for college.
- I laughed a few times today.

Also, here's what happened yesterday on April 25th:
- I visited my uncle's house for the first time in a while.
- I worked up a good sweat at the gym for an hour.
- I ate a hamburger with French fries for lunch that tasted delicious.
- I went to college and I studied at the library.
 
Yesterday ~ 4/26

- Played Overwatch with @Azzy and got to experiment with some characters I've been wanting to learn to play as!
- Did my DBT intensive outpatient therapy group session despite not wanting to. I learned a lot of new skills and stuff. It makes me feel happy knowing I have lots of support within this group and can help/support others as well.
- Had the day off of work! Got to make my cosplay lineup picture for Connecticon this year. Just gotta buy the actual cosplays. :^/
- Touched AC:NH for the first time in ages. But started getting sleepy so I stopped playing. BUT, I enjoyed playing c:

Today ~ 4/27

- Got a caramel craze iced latte from Dunkin!
- Woke up early AND in a good mood! :3
- Currently in my virtual IOP group listening to everyone talk and check in... I love listening to others, it makes me feel good knowing I'm a nice listener.
- Going to help my dad mow the lawn today! :3 I'm excited to learn something new.
 
My favorite person is ****ing amazing. I was really anxious today since I thought she was mad at me the past day or so. She promised she’d tell me if she had a problem with me which is what I needed to hear. It just screws with my brain when people become distant (or at least it seems that way in my mind) and I think they’re pulling away so her reassurance is appreciated. I really should trust her more since she said numerous times she’d tell me if something was wrong, but again, my brain thinks what it wants half the time. Her sweet embrace and little head pats telling me everything’s okay got me today, lol.
I reached a new VR milestone on Mario Kart 8 today. I don’t think it means too much since I do gold dig in low racing rooms. I can’t compete in the other rooms since I main Lemmy nor am I an experienced racer, but it’s still an accomplishment, right? No? Okay…
I tried an orange soda I’ve been wanting to try for so long. Just wasn’t sure where to get it since the nearby stores don’t carry it. It’s one of my favorite sodas now since the cream isn’t as prominent. It seems like the other cream sodas have too much of it, and this is just the right amount of cream with still a good, orange flavor. I picked up three more.

Just in an overall good mood thanks to my favorite person, having an early day at work the past few days, and mostly being stress-free. Also looking forward to my paycheck this week since I worked so many hours between my two jobs.

Edit: Fixing a typo…

Finished the true ending of my third route in Lover Pretend! Just gotta finish up the good/normal ending next and I'll be ready to start the next one.
