What Are You Happy About Today?

[hakutaku]

- Slept a lot last night, I think I needed it, I was feeling emotionally off-kilter and that usually means I'm running on too little sleep

- The seafood linguine I made last night tasted amazing, I think making tasty Italian food relies on using a LOT of garlic haha. I also had fruit, some protein porridge with lots of toppings, and some cookies I made yesterday. Overall a nice food day

- I got paid for my internship for the first time today! Happy to make some money

➣ I told my favorite person I love her and although she wasn’t all that verbally affectionate, her actions say enough. I hugged her so many times that I should be in good shape for the next few days, haha. She seems too good to be true, like how doesn’t she find me annoying by now? Perfection doesn’t exist but she’s pretty darn close.
➣ I’m being paid out for my PTO on next paycheck. I will be receiving $550 in addition to the hours I actually work. It’s something for me to look forward to in the next two weeks.
➣ I have off the next two days, so I’m hoping to play Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and catch up on some rest. I woke up super early this morning since my dad is manager training.
➣ I’m happy that my favorite person has been using my preferred name and pronouns. It’s so euphoric when she whispers my preferred name in my ear after I hug her and my only instinct is to just squeeze a little tighter. I feel like she sees me as a male which is everything to me.
➣ I picked up a few shifts at my second job next week, and they are morning shifts as well.

Today I'm happy because:

- There are so many more people with amazing happies in this thread! I love hearing about your wins or just the things that bring a smile to your faces!
- I went into the office today for the first time in a while and it was quiet and peaceful.
- I received a lot of recognitions from my coworkers today.
- I was able to take walks on both my morning and afternoon breaks.
- It was overcast and rainy in the morning, but it cleared up by lunchtime.
- It was super easy to return the incorrect item that Amazon sent me and I've already received the correct item today.
- Since I had to go to the UPS Store to make the return, I stopped by my favorite burger place next door for lunch.
- My dog was so happy to see me when I got home this evening. He's had a rough week with our routine being disrupted.
- It's Friday and I'm done with work for the week! I'm looking forward to the weekend and my extra day off on Tuesday for July 4th!

*⁀➷ i am officially a high school graduate! i have so many feelings and so many things i want to say about it that i don’t even know where to begin lol, but i can’t believe that i’m finally, finally done! i admittedly have a lot of shame for taking so long to earn my diploma, but i am also so proud of myself for not giving up (no matter how much i wanted to, or how pointless it all felt at times), and that despite all of the awful things that have happened in my life in the past year and a half, and all of my mental and physical health concerns, i still did my best and gave my work my all. my mom never finished high school, and one of her biggest hopes for me was that i would — it took years of her having to listen to me complain and cry and beg for her to let me drop out, and having to sometimes literally drag me to the car to get me to school, but i’m glad i was able to give this to her. and to myself i have absolutely no idea what i’m doing next, but i’ll figure it out. thank you to you guys for listening to me talk (and complain) about school so much; i know it was probably a little bit repetitive lol, but the support and encouragement really did help motivate me to keep going luv you guys

Congrats xara!!! Way to go!!!

Now this last point is the highlight of the day for me and I want to apologize in advance for using all caps. I FINALLY GOT A JOB AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. After the past two months of job searching applying to numerous positions, getting ghosted most of the time, and attending a few interviews, I CAN FINALLY LET OUT A SIGH OF RELIEF. The best part? It’s paid too (other positions from some employers aren't paid)! Of course, I won’t be starting yet and have a few things to get stuff prepared, but my first day will be next week. Honestly, there were times where I wanted to give up, but I'm glad I pulled through.

Hurray!!! So happy for you! I hope you enjoy it!

It was my dog's birthday yesterday (she turned six). I bought her a dog treat. Today I gave her a bath, which she wasn't super keen about, but she was very good and polite. She's really sweet.

Happy belated birthday to your sweet pup!!!

It was a little busy for me in the morning, but the rest of my day went fine after that.

• I ate at a restaurant with my family! The food tasted so good and filled me right up that I only ended up having a few snacks for dinner!
• I spent a good chunk relaxing at home watching some videos here and there.
• I played quite a lot of Gran Turismo 7 finally getting to try out the new cars added to the game, with one of them that I really enjoyed driving!

Spoiler: Oh no, more stuff rambling about cars lol

First off, here is a 1995 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution III GSR! It's actually a returning car to the series and it's awesome to see it in greater detail now.

This next car, however, is new to the series. It's a 2021 Aston Martin Valkyrie and the way it handles is really great! Oh, did I mention that its engine sounds are amazing too? I'm pleasantly surprised that it's now in the game as I never expected this stunning car to be playable. Yes, I launched it in the air for the chaotic energy lol.

This last car added to the game so happens to be one of the many that I've seen in real life (or at least similar in appearance). Check out this 2004 Subaru Impreza Sedan WRX STi! Others also call it the "blobeye" due to the headlight design.

Spoiler: A couple of more things about the Impreza lol

There are some custom parts you can change on the car. In this case, I can change the rear wing of this Subaru which looks to be more in line with the regular Imprezas I occasionally see on the road minus the vent on top of the hood.

This specific generation of the Impreza also reminds me of this one clip. It's hilarious and so random lol.

• June has wrapped up now, but this month has been really great in terms of not only a few things happening in my life, but reading the posts from others in this thread as well. I don't remember this occurring before where sooooo many good things happened to various TBT members one after the other. It also means that pride month is finished, but I'll still keep rocking my colours.

 

[.: Meri :.]

☾ I got to play a little bit of Stardew Valley today! I've been working to add a ton more pigs to my farm so I can hopefully make some money faster from truffle oil.
☾ And speaking of Stardew, the set of official Junimo plushes I ordered arrived safely!! ;w; They're incredibly cute—although they're small enough that my tuxedo kitty keeps trying to run off with them He is not allowed to eat my Junimos!!
☾ I also got to spend some time just chilling and hanging out with my family! ^^

I finally weighed in under 100 kg after gaining weight after my car accident.
It's still a long journey, but I'm happy I'm on the right track again for myself.

I meant to post this yesterday, but better late than never!

I'm happy that I finished all my work for the day yesterday. After a long week I had the option to not finish something for Monday, but decided to go ahead and get it done anyway because it would benefit everyone, including myself. I never take the easy way out! Not giving up and being resilient is my magic!

 

[Tindre]

Im happy artfight starts today!

*⁀➷ i won three commencement awards??? i won a resiliency award, and two awards for english and math for having the highest grade in both courses out of all of the other grade 12s i absolutely was not expecting the english and math awards, but it feels so nice to have my hard work in those classes acknowledged :’)

*⁀➷ i also received my final report card today, and i got 90’s in all of my classes!! my grades dipped a little since mid-terms, but the fact that they’re still in the 90’s is a miracle and makes me so happy!! ended off on a strong note

- went out for boba yesterday with friends! we also brought beads from the dollar store and made bracelets (which was honestly harder than i thought.. i kept dropping my rope and my beads kept running off )
- i got lost again and had to take two busses home lol. unlike last time, i stayed calm and managed to come home on time! this event has made me learn what busses to take to go home. trial and error, i guess
- it's canada day! i'm not doing anything for it but there's a parade happening nearby so there's a lots of food, music and events to see this weekend.
- this is my first weekend without having to worry about school and i finally feel calm, at least for now. i could use a LOT of rest this summer, in all honesty.

 

[LadyDestani]

It's mine and my partners 12 year anniversary today!

Congrats! I hope you have a lovely anniversay!

 

[Midoriya]

Today is a certified good day.

- Started rewatching Black Clover, but dubbed. The humor is so great!

- I slept in a lot and cuddled my kitty.

- The Texas Rangers beat the Houston Astros 5-2, courtesy of a Corey Seager day. That'll knock them back down from their win yesterday.

- I'm cooking home-style chicken nuggets and a baked potato right now!

- Going to play some more video games tonight.

- I have Tuesday off work this coming week (because of July 4th), as well as Friday since that's when I'm going on vacation!

i conked out yesterday before i could post haha, but happy july homies!! i hope many incredible things happen for you all this month, and that you’re having a wonderful weekend so far c: happy canada day to my fellow canadians!!

*⁀➷ this is from yesterday, but i went for a walk with my dad before my counselling session! it was admittedly less than enjoyable with the humidity and wildfire smoke, but it’s always nice to get out and get some exercise in haha

*⁀➷ also from yesterday, but i had a nice counselling session! i usually am not looking forward to my sessions with this particular counsellor since the vibes are kind of awkward, but yesterday’s was pretty nice! she was really pleased with the homework i completed for her and how in-depth i went, and i don’t have to meet with her again until the end of the month!

*⁀➷ i went for another walk with my dad again today (even though i threatened to never go outside again after yesterday’s LOL), and today’s was a bit more enjoyable! the humidity is even worse today, but thankfully the air quality wasn’t as bad! we just walked to the gas station down the street, and my dad bought me a couple of cans of monster :’D he said they’re my graduation present lmao

*⁀➷ speaking of graduation presents, my grandfather sent me some money!! i wasn’t expecting to even get a congratulations from him since we’re not close and i haven’t heard from him since new year’s, so the money was a really pleasant surprise! life is good <3 and thank u again @LadyDestani for my graduation present,,, u are so wonderful <33

• It was my dog's birthday yesterday (she turned six). I bought her a dog treat. Today I gave her a bath, which she wasn't super keen about, but she was very good and polite. She's really sweet.

happy belated birthday to your fur baby!!! i hope she had a good day

It's mine and my partners 12 year anniversary today!

happy anniversary to you and your partner! i know your day didn’t go as planned, and i was really sorry to read that your mom got sick overnight, but i hope you and your partner were able to have a nice dinner at least. may you guys have many more healthy, happy years together

CONGRATS ON GRADUATING AND GETTING YOUR DIPLOMAAA!! also congrats on your awards and finishing off so strongly! whatever you decide to do next, i'm sure you'll do amazing!

I JUST GOT MYSELF A NEW BED AND IT'S AWESOME! I went from a twin bed on a broken box spring w/ a crooked frame to a queen-sized soft bed with a massage feature, adjustable fronts/backs, USB ports, lights at the bottom, and a comfort I have never in my life possessed. I'm at peace and only paying 114$ dollars out of each paycheck (which isn't much since I started my new job) for about 18 months. I have no complaints.

 

[LadyDestani]

Today I'm happy because:

- I slept well last night and got to sleep in this morning.
- It's the 7th anniversary of the day we adopted my dog! I gave him lots of snuggles and a chew stick, but I think after the busy week we've had he was just happy it was a normal day where we all stayed home.
- It was warm and sunny for our afternoon walk. It was almost hot but I enjoyed it.
- I saw some cute neighborhood dogs. One that I hadn't seen before looked like a black shephard mix with one ear up and one ear down. I love that!
- I got to watch another episode of The Crown. Only 2 more episodes to go in season 5.
- I spent some quality time with my husband.
- I had a very nice shower this evening.
