Today was difficult mood wise but quite a bit of things that still made me happy

.
First, this community; even though I’m still not posting regularly, coming on for a little bit has been a great help and boost to my mood. When I post in the bothering you thread, I post to help myself cope and never expect anyone to read it. Seeing all the reactions has really meant a lot to me and that maybe my feelings are more valid than how I’ve been starting to think as a result of what has been going on with my best friend and I. Thanks everyone and Bell Tree for making this place a safe and fun place to be

. Also for everyone’s patience with me - for past things I’ve said or done and just generally.
Really happy that I won something from this event and what I won

. I feel like my week is ending up on a better note now; such a wonderful and unexpected surprise

.
Second,I had a nice chat on discord about Genshin. I still am feeling pretty shy chatting but I really have been enjoying it when I can and have things to contribute to chat

.
Third, my kitties. No pictures this time unfortunately; Jewels moved each time I tried to take a picture of her. A bit ago, she was sleeping like the Princess and the pea on my mom’s pillows on her bed. She looked so comfy and adorable

. Both my girls make me so happy; Spanky loves her cat tower too much though and being all over the house rather than just with me (I can’t help but feel jealous when she is elsewhere

).
Fourth, Genshin ofc! Feel free to skip since there is a lot

. I’m excited about the cat event and Neuvillette’s rerun; just hoping they give us some sort of event exclusive reward like a blueprint or furniture piece to commemorate this event. I’d be excited about Itto too since he is a hilarious character and he seems fun to use from the few trials runs I did with him, but I have to save for my top three favorites first! I got more than enough for hard pity too I think. I think I want his weapon too but probably shouldn’t since I already finished the archon quests and it will take awhile to earn the primogems back.
I’m happy that I made progress on Fontaine’s achievements; at the same time part of me wishes that I waited to do them as well as the world quests (only have about 2 more left) when I get Neuvillette to make the experience more fun (as weird as that may sound). I am 69% done with the first set of Fontaine achievements, 86% on the second, and 71% on the third set. I was originally aiming for the first set’s namecard, but the second one actually has been appealing to me more since I like Wriothesley a lot and the logo makes me think of him; the background to it looks really nice too

. I also have the fountain level up to 27 and the statue of the seven about halfway to level 7; I got some hydroculus last night that I originally thought was impossible to get. Two gadgets helped me get them! It took plenty of tries since I kept missing the ledge or falling off

. I solved some puzzles too that I was stumped on and thought was “impossible” and without a guide

.
Yesterday, I got Xiangling, Raiden and Kaeya’s friendship to 10!

Kaeya I was not trying to max his friendship, but I’m still happy I did since I got another profile card to add to my collection

.
I’m still happy with the one finished part of my teapot

; I like to waste some time there and just chill (been doing that in Fontaine too since I’m not over the story & I want to see more of some the characters that were involved there). I’m still annoyed though I have no room to put even one companion or animal there. I would’ve liked to have two companions and a bunch of animals but yikes they take up so much load. There is plenty of room to place them but the game limits how much you can put down :/. Honestly I’d like to add even more buildings, pavement and furniture down but the most I can put down now is one small item
I got some of the companion gifts in the gift shop recently after finishing crafting the required furniture set

. While I’m happy about this, I feel also a little underwhelmed. I thought maybe we’d get something to remind traveler of the companion (like a furniture piece that resembles their taste in furniture or something or the bond with the traveler). One of the sets I’m working in needs 14 fences, 8 benches, 6 lights, a fountain, 4 plants and a few other things, all requiring a lot of mats; this one seems to be worth much more than what they’ll give me for inviting the characters to it.
Been staying up way too late playing the game

but it has been helping me cope for the most part with intrusive thoughts and my depression
