What Are You Happy About Today?

[Dinosaur]

• I went to a specialist that actually believes me about the issues I have due to my loose, hypermobile joints. I've had bad experiences with a few doctors in the past so it was a relief to be taken seriously.
• When I was waiting in line today a little old lady turned around and her eyes lit up, she started smiling at me and said "Red hair looks so good on you" I smiled, thanked her, and she went on her way. - I've gotten compliments on my hair before, but this was different. The way she said it was so sweet and kind. It made my day.
• I got to reorganise some stuff and there is no longer a random area of half organised miscellaneous things in the hidden corner of the bedroom. And tomorrow we'll tackle the bookshelves ughh.

I’m going to the uni library with my friend to do some work today. I’ve been a bit of a recluse these past couple of weeks (and struggling with my MH has made it hard to leave the house), so I’m looking forward to a change of scenery.

• I’m in the process of learning Sadness and Sorrow, a song from the anime Naruto on ukulele and it’s going well! I’ve got most of it down. After I finish learning it on ukulele I’m gonna learn it on violin!
• I’m going to practice violin today. One of my goals is to learn Vivaldis concerto in A Minor. That’s what my violin teacher and I are working on now. Doing exercises to build up to that.
• I washed my sheets last night. Had a sudden burst of energy so decided to get it done. Also it helped distract me a bit from the panic attack I was having.
• I’ve been watching Howls Moving Castle, which is a movie made by Studio Ghibli. Really enjoying it. It’s my first time watching it
• Have an appointment with my therapist later
• My cat Mustachio is so sweet. We played last night. She loves to play fetch with her mousy toys.
• Im about 12 hours into a 30 hour audiobook biography on Mozart and am really enjoying it.
• Slept super good last night
• My NYC trip was cancelled which I’m very disappointed about but I’m gonna cheer myself up by ordering some takeout on Saturday, so really looking forward to that
• Still enjoying watching the anime Black Clover. So many awesome characters.
• Still watching Naruto with my bf and loving it.
• Right now I’m enjoying some coffee and am about to listen to some music

 

[k e r f u f f l e]

• My brothers have been healing over the past few days really well. We had some good laughs when I called them, so I know that's a good sign!
• I've been hanging out with my mom, talking and drinking coffee.
• I bought some medicine for my baby guinea pigs. They have a few tiny worms on them so I know it's parasitic. The ivermectin should arrive soon, and they don't seem to be getting sicker.

- I got to sleep in, which was much appreciated.

- Watched four episodes of Haikyuu last night when I only meant to watch two, whoops! I was having so much fun.

- My kitty came into my room for a bit and watched Haikyuu with me.

- I went to martial arts practice again last night and continued learning some new transitions for my techniques.

- I'm headed to the gym again today and tomorrow to exercise more.

- The Dallas Stars play the Anaheim Ducks tonight in Dallas. Should be a good game to watch.

- About to work on something at work that will help take me to the next level.

- And lastly, I have work off tomorrow, so I get yet another extended weekend!

☾ I received my paycheck from my job this morning. It's always nice waking up to a bulky deposit notice from my bank. Also, more than one person at work complimented my work ethic and it made me feel amazing. I take a lot of pride in what I do and it's nice having other people see that.
☾ I had a productive day today and it's still early. I washed my bedsheets again, vacuumed and cleaned up the living room. It feels a lot cleaner now.
☾ I didn't have an anime I was watching at the moment, so I started my rewatch of Haikyuu!! I also wore my Hinata jersey out and got a compliment on it.
☾ I realized I have a lot in common with this person at work, maybe a little too much. We both talked about martial arts even though we both no longer practice. I mentioned that I have BPD and to my surprise, she also has it. Definitely a struggle to deal with at work specifically, but I'm managing. We need to keep in touch, haha.
☾ As I have been paid, I'm going to pick up some of my favorite burritos and sodas from the Dollar Store later tonight.

☃︎ Bonk had an appointment with her groomer to get her nails trimmed, and as always she was such a good girl about it!! As difficult as Bonk can be in ways (ie. trying to get her to not be insane 24/7 ), she’s very easy to get into her carrier, and her groomer never has any trouble with her! She still of course got treats when she got home, and she cuddled with me on the chair for a bit after!

Spoiler: the goodest girl!!

And also like always, her groomer took a silly pic of her, going with a Valentine’s Day theme for this one!! Bonky always looks so mad in these photos, but she’s fine I promise!!

She was of course very eepy when she got home, though

☃︎ I bought an Opalescent Crystal collectible from the wonderful @/Jhine7! I’ve been eyeing the 3 (now 2) crystal collectibles that I don’t have for a while, and finally decided to take the plunge for the Opalescent Crystal after coming up with some cool lineup ideas for it! Blue/purple has me in a chokehold right now I swear

☃︎ My dad used the Minions bag that I got him for his Birthday today!! He’s used it a few times since I’ve gotten it for him, but today’s the first time that I noticed! He also got a compliment on it when he went out, which made me really happy to hear!

☃︎ One of the fanfics I’m reading (my favourite one!) was updated the other day, and I read and enjoyed the new chapter a lot!! There’s only one chapter left, and I’m practically frothing at the mouth waiting for it LOL, but I’m so so excited!

☃︎ I got to have the entire apartment to myself for a bit earlier! No parents, no cat (sorry Bonk ily), and it was very peaceful! This doesn’t happen very often, so I always want to make the most out of it when it does. It always feels odd to be completely home alone since I’m used to at least a cat being here with me, but it’s nice to feel just how quiet and calm life can be, even if only for an hour or so. :’)

I'm starting to plan my yearly Oscar Party!! I hold one every year, it's where I get snacks, and drinks and we watch the Oscars!

Sometimes we make bets on what movie will win, and which won't. We sometimes get loud, and it's usually fun! I'm very iffy/disappointed on some of the nominations this year, but I'm still gonna enjoy my mini party

I'll be happy with any movie but Maestro winning. I gotta watch the rest of the movies nominated before then ^^; I'll pull myself through them. Even ones I'm not interested in lol. I need an opinion after all.

After having Edge of Dawn from Fire Emblem: Three Houses stuck in my head all day, I thought, that has to be available for the flute. Well, I improvised and got piano sheet music since it was easier to get and flute and piano are both B flat instruments. Happy to say I can still read sheet music and played Edge of Dawn on my flute today!! Haven’t touched it since senior year of highschool…since ‘05-‘06 Also got Decision Bell from Trials of Mana, so that will be next.

- I got fancy salon shampoo and conditioner cause whenever I would wash my hair and let it dry, it would look both frizzy and a lil greasy despite being freshly washed so it's time to ditch grocery store products. Hopefully it makes a difference
- I got stuff to make chili including a pack of jalapeños so it's gonna be spicy. Imma still deseed them tho or else it'll be too spicy for my weak self
- I got new sweatpants cause I spilled on all my other pants. I somehow managed to spill on all my clothes eventually but I'll still wear them for awhile until they inevitably become work only pants

• Collected Blossom's prescription. It's nothing serious, just a routine prescription to prevent fleas and ticks.
• Played some New Horizons and actually started to decorate a part of Sapphire! I'm trying out a little campsite area. I love the marshmallow campfire variation!
• Over the past few days I traded some DIYs with the lovely @MrBox . I didn't want anything in return, but they asked me if I would like some art as a thank you. I was so surprised and delighted! I requested Buck! I am so happy with my new artwork of Buck, I'm using it as my profile picture. Thank you again MrBox, you've made my week!
• I still have a soft spot for Care Bears merchandise, so I couldn't resist when I saw Amazon had a Funshine Bear mood light. I checked to see if they had Bedtime or Grumpy Bear (they are my favourites!), but only Funshine! It should arrive tomorrow!

 

[Chris]

• I got my seventh gym badge in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond today!

• Got a medical diagnosis I've been waiting a long time for. I had to go private to speed up the process, but it is validating to be told it is what I thought it was all along and that I now have immediate treatment options available instead of waiting 1-2 years on the NHS.

• I had the best date tonight that I've had in a very long time. We got all dressed up, steak dinner, flirty banter, etc. I'll spare excessive detail but it was wonderful.

I'm happy people overseas complained about LoZ Wind Waker being too chibi and cute and uwu because otherwise Nintendo probably wouldn't have had gone the more sinister and darker route they did in their next installment, Twilight Princess. They're some of my favorite games in the series, and I'm happy to still own a working copy of both games.

In general, I'm happy to still own all my old games and being able to return to them anytime

 

[.: Meri :.]

☾ I won the Squid Catching Contest in Rune Factory 5!! Also saw a really cute town event with the girls! although it’s one of a couple events I’ve seen where I wish they’d changed the player’s dialogue if you’re in a relationship ;u; Alice is over here hoping to find a special someone "someday" when she and Murakumo have been dating for a month asjkdsdlfjs. game pls

☾ Worked in some time to do art practice! I wanted to draw more tbh but it’s getting late and also my shoulder says no

☾ I watched a little Youtube with my family today!

☾ I also watched this video by owiebrainhurts and found it really reassuring ;v; I’m gonna make myself watch it daily until I stop having the same existential crisis on repeat every two weeks!! also gonna start saying I'm seven in adult years

 

[azurill]

Today was a good day . I had an early work day but it was only half a day. It was busy with a lot to do but went quickly. The weather was fantastic so we took Aurora to the park when I got home.

Spoiler: Park

Had a nice afternoon and was able to play some ACNH . Aurora got to play with her friend Lucy on our evening walk.
Hope everyone had a great day.

- I'm headed to the gym again today and tomorrow to exercise more.

- The Dallas Stars play the Anaheim Ducks tonight in Dallas. Should be a good game to watch.

My workout earlier went well and the Dallas Stars ended up defeating the Ducks 4-3 in overtime!!! Now just 1 point under the Colorado Avalanche and Winnipeg Jets. Thomas Harley, why are you being so epic lately?

 

[Giddy]

Today feels like it's going to be good, even though it's only not even 6AM here.
I do have to work a few hours today, but I finish at 10AM, so I'll have time to myself.

For my animation course I recently got on, they want us to think of ideas for the 5-10 sec gif we gotta do by the end of the course. I made a brainstorming sheet, and I am deciding between two ideas.

One is a dream catcher swaying in the wind, so today I plan to make a moodboard with different style dream catchers to bring in on Saturday.
The other idea brings one of my OC's to life, she doesn't have a name, but I've been for a while - stopping and starting - painting/drawing this picture of a horned girl. Her animation gif idea is simple, Just a close up look at her face, as she opens her eyes, as she does this, the fairy lights tangled in her horns start to flicker on, one by one. As she cocks her head to side, maybe a lil' smile staring ahead.

Just have to decide which one to go with. It's my first time with animation, and maybe my short ideas are quite ambitious for the first time, but I feel like I can do it.

One day, I do plan on making an art post in the musuem here, it's just that the horned girl is not complete, but I guess I could still post it and update it as I go along?
I've taken pictures of all the stages of drawing her. So, maybe thats's something I can focus on after doing the moodboard, or add more updates to my Island Journal~

That I got to see my grandparents for a while

 

[hakutaku]

- Work started off pretty bad last night but by the end of the shift I did feel a bit better lol, some good things happened while I was there, including me finally sorting out a refund from the airline who cancelled our flights last month. Apparently the original refund was sent to the wrong department which is why I never received it But I got an email from them today saying its being processed, so thats great. Should get my refund in a few days I'm also getting paid soon so it'll be good for my bank account

- Happy that I have a day off today and that its sunny and dry outside!
