What Are You Happy About Today?

Yesterday
* Ate Burger King for lunch. The last time before it was December 2021. :,)

* Me and my friend Ashton discussed different payment methods for commissions, including Hype Badges (DeviantArt thing) and making edits in return. I ordered portraits of my OCs Vincent and Blanche with the former, and plan to make edits next time for him, for some ship pictures I plan on ordering after the portraits are done. ^_^

Today
* Figured out how to install mods on my PC for Sims 4, including an LGBT mod and a mental health mod. ^__^

Though my Sim died from extreme anger from ADHD (apparently it caused a "cardiac explosion"), so I have to start some stuff over. O___O
I may have to see if I can remove her ADHD, if I cannot prevent the stupid death causes. ._.

* Rooney gave me a rococo lamp when he barged in just a bit ago, which I plan to fill one of my rooms (my right one when I get it to be specific) with rococo furniture ^_^
 
-Watched the latest episode in Sam&Colby’s series, Week at the Conjuring House. The paranormal activity was more tame in comparison to last week’s episode. However, it was still entertaining. Especially with the turn-switch flashlights and dying camera batteries.

-Although I’m babysitting this night, my sibling bought me a pumpkin spice frappe and blueberry muffin. Hopefully they will succeed in putting my nephew to sleep before they leave. Doesn’t sound like it, but oh well.
 
Today I'm happy because:

- I slept very deeply last night and got to sleep in this morning. I feel well rested for a change.
- My Minnesota Vikings and my husband's Baltimore Ravens both won their games today! Unfortunately, we may have lost our QB for the remainder of the season. Fingers crossed it won't be that bad.
- I spent some quality time with my husband and my dog.
- I worked on some event stuff.
- I don't have to work tomorrow!
 
I really enjoyed watching the latest episodes of Spy x Family and One Piece with my family this morning!! Very excited for next week's episodes of both! 👀 Later on we also watched LDShadowLady's second episode of Secret Life! I nearly lost it when she convinced herself the sounds of someone tunneling under her base was actually her composter 😭
Jinx in banner!! 🥹🖤 She's one of my favorite internet kitties and I'm so happy she was able to make it up there.
I managed to max out all my levels in Stardew Valley before the end of year 2's winter—as in, on the evening of the 27th LOL. And I didn't have to sacrifice my farm or my friendships to do it!! I think I was in the clear for this either way, but I got four candles from Grandpa's evaluation on the first go, which I'm very happy about! Also caught my first Octopus of this file!! I hadn't even maxed my fishing skill yet so idk how I pulled that one off
 
I watched a few more episodes of Eyeshield 21 today! I found some nice fanart related to the anime that I really liked, as well. Maybe it's not that obscure.
I'm happy that I'll be getting paid this week, and I have more PTO than I'd originally thought. Apparently, I built up hours working shifts I didn't want to work at my old job.
My friend remembering my chosen name after only telling them once in conversation and them continuing to call me that gives me so much euphoria.
I got to sleep in today having had off work. It was much needed since I've had trouble sleeping the past two nights. Too much overthinking.

Edit: Fixing a typo.

- We're going through some changes at work so I ran out of things to do today and got to finish early!

- Watched a David Attenborough documentary while eating dinner.

- Started drawing something yesterday and now it's already about 80% done and I'm pretty happy with it! Knowing me it'll take me a month to finish the rest of it, but it always feels good to make art so I'm glad I at least started something. I have some other ideas lined up for the future as well.

- Now doing some light language studying until bedtime (basically just watching a long video I was already interested in with a dictionary open). Feeling weirdly productive for a Monday evening.

- Although I never actually do anything for Halloween, I'm excited for tomorrow! 🎃
 
I went to a halloween oarty at school dressed as Serena from pokémon! I had a bit of stress at first and got worked up, but my teacher realized I was struggling and was sweet to me, then I went out in the hallway to regain my composure and two of my classmates were out there. The one who also saw me stressing out was super sweet and checked in on me, and asked if I wanted to see some birds. The other revealed a specialized bird backpack with their two birds in it! Later, they had one of their birds out on their shoulder with matching little angel wings! My favorite costumes were Dale Gribble, Boomhauer, and The FIVE Mr. Worldwides (yes, they all planned it together). I also won a raffle ^^
 
hihi, friends. i’ve been a little awol in here as my mental health hasn’t been the greatest and i’ve found it hard to be happy or positive about much the past few days, but i’m trying to keep it moving. i know the more i succumb to these feelings, the worse i’ll feel, and i know i am so fortunate compared to others. times are rough, but i still have some stuff to be happy about and grateful for. 💖

i hope you all are doing well and that you have a blessed week! i’m excited for halloween tomorrow. 🧡

☪︎ i was able to get a couple loads of laundry done and put away the other night! getting my laundry done is something i’ve been struggling with for a while now, and it’s honestly one of my biggest stressors. i still have more to do, but getting some of it out of the way has been a tremendous help to my mental health and stress levels. plus, having more clean clothes to get into is always wonderful. ☺️ i was also able to vacuum my room and my fan as well, which has also made me feel better! next on my to-do list is to mop my floor.

ִ ࣪𖤐 i was able to get my “forbidden fortunes” entry done and submitted, and it was accepted thank you @LadyDestani 💓! i’m not the happiest with the writing i did for it, but the art itself is what i’m most proud of out of everything i created for this event! i honestly really like how it turned out; i think it’s pleasing and pretty to look at. with this out of the way, i’m officially done with my creative entries for this event! it’s always a little bittersweet to be done and for the festivities to slowly start winding down, but i’m also a little grateful, haha. i think i’m creatively and just overall burnt out for the time being, so i’m okay with things calming down for a while. i’ve had a lot of fun, though! :’)

𐦍 the mermaid scale halloweaster egg and vask candy were finally revealed, and they’re both so incredible!! the egg is definitely my favourite of the two, though; it looks almost exactly the way i imagined it would, it’s so stunning! i was able to solve all of the zipper‘s zany zillion challenges as well. i’ll have enough coins to snag myself an egg, and still have a few coins leftover for any potential raffle(s)! i’m so happy. 🥹

i bought my ghostly kitty plush and AN star frag! they’re both so glorious, i love them so much!! i’m waiting to see what the halloween prize from the advent calendar is before i buy my mermaid egg, but i’m literally convulsing waiting for the event to be over so that i can start displaying all of my new lineup ideas! wix should’ve snatched my collectibles as well, i fear the shiny, glowy collectibles have created a monster (me) LOL.

𖤓 speaking of lineups, i was able to buy the amethyst i was looking for for one of my ideas, as well as a dino plush for an amazing price!! the two dino plushies i have sandwich my bee plush, which i think is so cute. 🥹 i love collectibles so much HELP.

☪︎ i was also able to sell a couple more of my unused collectibles!
 
Today I'm happy because:

- I got to sleep in again this morning.
- I don't have to work this week.
- I saw some cute dogs on our afternoon walk.
- I was feeling lazy so I just had a chill day at home.
- My dog snuggled with me on the sofa while my husband and I watched TV.
- I have really been enjoying my first event as a moderator. Seeing all of your entries really does make my day!
- Tomorrow is Halloween!
 
Happy today because,

- I got up early and was productive at work. 📊

- Played some more Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail today. 🎮

- It's been colder outside here due to El Niño/La Niña, but it's honestly been peaceful. ❄️

- The Texas Rangers defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks 3-1 in game 3 of the baseball World Series to take a 2-1 series lead. Just two more wins to go! ⚾ 🔥

- I'm about to go give my kitty a special treat. 🐱 💚
 
I got to see Dollightful's new Halloween video!! I look forward to these every year; they're always so much fun. ;w;
I've done some more work on my hat collecting farm in Stardew Valley! Millinery Farm is looking much more organized and low-maintenance now.
Before the weather gets cold again, I gave the kitties their bath today! They both needed it and even though it was pretty hard on my back, they're both clean and softer now and I'm glad I got it done!
I found and was able to buy a couple of collectibles I've been casually hunting for!
Tomorrow is Halloween!! 🎃🦇💜 The spooky day is almost upon us!!
 
Spent some time with my mom and made Jack-o-lanturns together this halloween! 🎃

happy halloween, homies!! even if you’re not doing anything to celebrate, i hope you’ve all had a spookily wonderful day! 🎃🖤

☪︎ it’s finally halloween! it’s a sad day for me personally, and tomorrow won’t be much better, but i’m enjoying all of the spooky festivities and treats going on! i was so happy to wake up this morning and see that some older spooky collectibles were re-released, especially my boys lucky and jack! i’m excited to play around with lineup ideas for my newly-dated jack; i of course already have a couple in mind! 🎃 i was also able to wish for a jacqufeline thanks to the super generous wish token that went out earlier!! i had accepted that i wouldn’t be able to get one since all my carnival coins went towards other collectibles, so this was such a lovely surprise! i’m so excited for my purrty purple jack-o’-lantern kitty! 💜

ִ ࣪𖤐 i got my friendly ghost plush collectible today as well! i’m so happy that i was able to find someone willing to sell one! i officially have all of my must-have collectibles from this event, which has made my heart so happy. 😭💜 so much new lineup ideas potential, i’m so excited!!

𐦍 i traded one of my unused collectibles for a yellow star fragment! love for glowy, night sky background collectibles is a disease, and i fear i have fallen victim to it. 😔 you can honestly never have too many star frags imo. i didn’t have the yellow one yet, so i’m very excited!! i can’t wait to come up with lineup ideas with it lots of blue/yellow, yellow/green potential 👀!

bonk wishes you all a happy halloween!! she has been very silly today, and was so sweet and affectionate to me when i got up this morning. 🥹 she’s so annoying, but i love her!!
