☾ I stayed up wayyyy too late last night planning this aesthetic out lol, but I'm really really pleased with it! I'm very happy with how the lineup turned out, and it wouldn't be possible without the Pink Moon Jellyfish @/Shellzilla_515 gave me and the Pink Feather from @/-Mars-, so I'm very grateful for that ♡
☾ I did really well in the winter performance in Jack Jeanne today!! I'm excited to have made it through the common route for my first playthrough now too. ^^
☾ Watched an episode of Fairy Tail with my family this morning! We also got to see Grian's new Hermitcraft episode later on in the day and a few other short videos.
☾ I got to see a lot of new art of a few of my comfort characters!!

It's been a great day! I'd also like to say happy Canada Day for those who celebrate it!

• I watched the sprint race of the 2023 Formula 1 Austrian Grand Prix! There soooooo much action throughout the race, with one photo finish where the gap between two drivers was only 0.009 seconds! Imagine almost making an overtake to the finish line then missing out by a hair. That must be painful lol.
• I got a haircut! It also feels good helping out that small business and having a small chat with the person cutting my hair. Anyways, it should help make hot days slightly more bearable hahaha.
• I played Tears of the Kingdom doing the usual adventure stuff. However...

Spoiler: Overworld enemy spoilers!

Gloom hands are scarier than guardians by a huge mile since they can come up without warning in some areas. I encountered them in the depths (which can be dark if you don't light up an area) which makes it even scarier and I want to scream lol. Thank goodness I can attach a rocket to a shield and find a high place to stay away from them.

• I played a bit of Gran Turismo 7 too to improve my time on an online time trial. Funnily enough, it takes place on the same track where the Formula 1 race is being held this weekend. Anyways, I just barely managed to get gold and I reeeeeeally hope the world record doesn't improve significantly.

Spoiler: Screenshot

It's not a lot of room to breathe in especially since a tenth of a second goes by very quickly. I don't wanna deal with more pain getting hit with track limit penalties and invalidating my lap.

• It's been a while, but I got started on another drawing! I'm in the sketching stages now after doing some preparations here and there to set up the poses.

➣ I’m still loving the fact that my favorite person exists in my life. One sentence could have changed whether or not I even met her. My grandma was the one who told me to apply at this company (which I’m not saying obviously since it’s local) because I was complaining about running out of places to apply, lol. If you know me, I’ve had lots of jobs and I was running out of places to work. Speaking of which, I am coming up two years at this job which is a major accomplishment. My BPD makes it hard for me to hold a job. My favorite person keeps me grounded, haha. She’s amazing, and even when one of us moves on from this job, we’ll always be in touch. Since we both want to live in different states, as well, we promised we’d visit each other!
➣ I was able to find my mom a birthday present. It’s vodka in a skull shaped container. It wasn’t the original plan but the website containing Plan A turned out to be a complete scam. Plan B isn’t too bad, though, so I can’t complain.

Spoiler: was trying to find a cat one, haha

➣ I am playing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. As we speak, Deku and Bakugo are in my room, attacking each other. The Deku is winning by far, but it’s hilarious nonetheless.

Spoiler: fun battles

Happy today because I just got back from vacation yesterday. I went to visit my grandpa in Colorado. It was…interesting to say the least. It was my two cute little doggies first road trip. Lots and lots of barking, but not too too much. They both were good little girls. (The barking part was because they didn’t like my grandpa’s dog, Maggie senior. One of my dogs is Maggie jr., smaller and younger. )

Also, I did a lot of thinking. I decided to reset my Switch one more time and do some things a little bit different this time. I kind of want to do everything myself, rather than rely on others to help me with everything. If I do ask for help this time, it’s only for like trading stuff I can’t get on my own. So yeah, I’m starting fresh now that everything is set up the way I like it and can now focus on my games.

Finally one last thing. As part of being myself from now on, I decided to keep my bangs after all. I just don’t have the patience to grow them out and I realized I like them and the fact I look good in them, so yeah… Anyway, enough said tonight. c:

 

[duckshuffler]

i got to watch fireworks today!!! i sat down on the dock while they were going off soo i got a close yet pretty nice view : D

 

[hakutaku]

I've been on a baking kick today! I made chocolate chip cookies and banana + walnut bread, and pretty happy with how both turned out I haven't tried any yet but my dad really loved the cookies

Also slowly getting back into a game I used to play, feels a little nice and nostalgic

 

[Shellzilla_515]

This is going to be an "early" post for my standards as I'll be heading to sleep earlier than usual. Going to be busy tomorrow!

• I watched the 2023 Formula 1 Austrian Grand Prix! While not as action packed compared to the sprint race from yesterday, there were still some wheel to wheel battles going on which was great to see! There were also time penalties being dished out to numerous drivers for exceeding track limits which was funny because I can somewhat relate to that when playing Gran Turismo 7. Cue the Oprah Winfrey meme of everyone getting a car, but it's penalties instead.
• I completed lots of laundry!
• I did some more sketching in my drawing! I didn't really care that it was pretty messy as I wanted to be more relaxed sketching out the lines. I still got a lot of ways to go moving on to the rough outlining stages.
• I had a really awesome chat with @/xSuperMario64x today.
• I'll be sneaking in a quick play session of Tears of the Kingdom before heading to sleep.

➣ I dropped off some oatmeal at my work that a coworker wanted to try. I had the chance to see my friend that I was worried about, since it’s not like her to just not show up for a shift. I talked with her a good bit today and I missed her too much to not hug her. I am not a physical person by any means, and I normally pull away when people touch me. It’s amazing how quickly I warmed up to this girl, since it’s been less than two weeks. She’s just such a vibe, lol.
➣ I am excited about seeing my mom and friend tomorrow. I’m heading over as soon as I’m finished at work. Let’s not forget the cat either. I’m ready to love on her.
➣ My favorite person is going on vacation for two weeks very soon. I’m glad we can still talk on Discord, but I’m going to miss her presence for sure. I’ll be okay.
➣ I enjoyed my time off this weekend, though most of it was spent playing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Today I'm happy because:

- I saw one of the rabbits in the neighbor's yard last night. It was dark but I think it was Olive.
- I got to bed about an hour earlier last night and slept really well. I also got to sleep in this morning.
- My dog was so cute trying to wake me up this morning for his breakfast. He gently rested a paw on my chest and stared at me. He often places his paws on me to wake me up, but it's usually more insistent and on my arms or legs. This was really sweet.
- The weather was hot and sunny again during our afternoon walk, but I found it pleasant.
- I saw some of the neighborhood dogs being adorable and playful.
- I got to watch an episode of The Crown. Only one left in season 5. I'm hoping to finish it on Tuesday when I'm off from work.
- I had a nice, relaxing day at home and spent quality time with my husband and my dog.
- I don't even mind going back to work tomorrow because I had a good weekend and I have Tuesday off.

I don't have much to talk about today, but I am glad I got to sleep in and have a relaxing day before I work tomorrow. I'm also glad that I get Tuesday off work and I got groceries today and had a bomb sandwich for dinner.

[xSuperMario64x]

lots of happies today!!


★ I had the day off from work today, so I got to catch up on some much needed sleep! It was so nice honestly, even right now my bed is calling for me

★ I'm still on a kick of watching these video game/technology videos that are like really long haha. I'm currently watching a video published by The 8-Bit Guy about what happened to electronics stores in the US, and I have some videos in my watchlist, including one about "the very first video game" (I'm wondering if he's gonna talk about tennis for two, the game made for radar equipment back in the 1950s), the history of Mario Paint, explaining the world record history of Super Mario World, and a demonstration video to go along with "Reverse emulating the NES" which itself was already really cool and interesting! I guess this is what my hyperfixation is shifted to right now don't worry mr tox box I'll never forget you hehe

★ I went to the theater this evening to see Elemental! I've seen some reviews on it, with a really wide variety of opinions ranging from praise to criticism, so I was pretty intrigued. I'll say it wasn't anything groundbreaking, it was just a simple plot (and the fact that the story resonates with the director made it even better) and it was a very enjoyable watch! there were even parts of the movie where I wanted to cry, honestly, it was so cute. if anyone is also intrigued I would definitely recommend it!

★ technically this was yesterday, but I cooked dinner after wanting to for a few days! I was unable to because my anxiety was kinda out of control and it was difficult for me to do much of anything. I was feeling better yesterday though, and I ended up cooking a pork loin with lemon and garlic, white cheddar mac and cheese, and red mashed potatoes! It was really good, I should honestly cook more often!

★ I had a really lovely chat with @/Shellzilla_515 today, he's starting his new job tomorrow and I'm so very excited for him!! I'm also generally very grateful to have a friend like him in my life

★ I got to talk to someone else today too! I received a PM earlier, it was @/Roxxy reaching out to me to check in! we haven't chatted much before but we talked about quite a bit today, and I would be honored to be able to call her a friend of mine!

★ the medicine my doctor gave me to help with my physical anxiety symptoms seems to be working, it hasn't been hitting me nearly as hard and I've actually been able to relax a bit for the last few days. I have an appointment with my psychiatrist on Wednesday, so hopefully we can get something figured out. I'm trying so hard to get my anxiety disorder under control, I've already made so much progress and I know I can do it. In the meantime I'm just being patient and gentle with myself, trying to balance taking care of necessities while also taking it easy and allowing myself some space to decompress.

★ I've also been keeping up with journaling really well for the last week or so, which is great! It's such a nice way to put my endless thoughts on paper (or in my case, a document on my computer haha) and work through them, it's great for easing stress and anxiety


I hope you all had a good day too, and even if you didn't, I'm glad that you're still here and to all my amazing friends here, I love you guys and hope you all have a good night!

 

[Midoriya]

- snip -

I read through this all and just wanted to say it's nice to see what you're happy about! I'm glad you're working to get your anxiety under control. As someone who struggled with social anxiety in the past, I know how debilitating it can be. Keep fighting the good fight, my friend.

☾ I got to watch the latest episode of One Piece with my family today! We also got to see some Youtube later, including GoodTimesWithScar's new Hermitcraft episode!
☾ I played a little bit of Stardew Valley today too! My tuxedo kitty cuddled with me while I was playing, which was really sweet.

➣ I had a really busy day at work. Things seemed to have picked up which is great, but it got real ugly towards the end of my shift. I have never been dissatisfied with how I left my area before today. I tried my best, though, and that is what matters. My relief was also okay with it. He's pretty chill for the most part.
➣ I was able to exchange phone numbers with my friend from work, so I'm happy we can talk more. We work opposite shifts with little overlap.
➣ I am indeed being paid out for my PTO next paycheck. I'm ready for that bulky direct deposit to be headed my way.
➣ I had fun baking cookies with my mom and playing with the cat. Although she was messing with my allergies, I was still loving on her.

Spoiler: She just rules the house, lmao
