What Are You Happy About Today?

- Got up early today and was productive at work. 📊

- Fed my kitties their special food again. 🐱

- Finished my dailies in my games and excited for the NL event that's about to start! 🍃

- Exercised at the gym again. 🏋️‍♂️

- And the Dallas Mavericks beat the Miami Heat 114-108 to end their losing streak!! 🏀 🔥 🥳
 
Happy today because earlier I was looking for new backgrounds for my phone and I found one that really spoked to me. It’s sort of a kawaii room themed one with good short sayings to it such as “love yourself more” and “hey you, don’t give up!” It made me realized I give up too easily on certain things, especially that I really would like to change my current hairstyle to something I love more. I really love side swept hair, so I’m not going to give up growing my bangs out and restyling my hair the way I would like it to be. I’m gonna stay strong and keep going. This will definitely teach me a bit of patience. 💪🏻
 
I played Fashion Dreamer again for a little bit and did some grinding in Solo Mode to get Seeking Zeke’s levels up some more!! Trying to raise other people’s levels too so hopefully he won’t disappear for six months or whatever before I can get his eyes aaaaa

ALSO hi @Xara I got Cozy Grove today while I was waiting for the Farewell to New Leaf Online event to start!! Aside from some technical difficulties at the very beginning (my laptop wanted to run it at MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE and sounded like it was about to reach lift-off ajsflsdjkgf), I’ve done all I can for today and had a lot of fun!! 🥹 I have cute clothes and pet birds and I’m eagerly working towards collecting all the things, because I love doing that in games. Also the little bug critters?? Are so?? Freaking cute??? Also once I figured out how to cap my performance settings lmao I was really happy with how my new laptop was able to run it! It still ran super smoothly with a really nice framerate, my computer stayed cool, and the fans were nice and quiet!

(and yes I did catch the little grub dude on the right immediately after taking this picture)

My parents and I watched Shubble’s version of Minecraft Hide and Seek!! It was a really cute build and I was super impressed with how many great hiding places there were in spite of it being the smallest. Now we’re finally all caught up with the Minecraft Hide and Seek videos, which is good because we’re also watching multiple POVs of two ongoing Minecraft series ahahaha.

I just feel like I’ve been in a generally good mood today! Always gonna be glad for that when it happens. c:

I commissioned @MrBox for a chibi of Ondorus from Rune Factory 3 and it’s super adorable!! ;v; I’m so happy with it and that I was able to grab one of the chibi slots!!

I’m incredibly hyped for the Farewell to New Leaf event and I’m so excited to get started on it tomorrow!! Definitely going to be adding some new dream collectibles to my list after this one eheheh.
 
I got two things done today that I had been putting off for a while: laundry that I had put off for a couple weeks and a haircut that I had put off for a few months. Feeling pleasantly accomplished.
I'm also really hyped about all the amazing things that got announced today for the Farewell New Leaf event! All the new collectibles look absolutely SO amazing and the activities all seem really fun and unique. I've actually been playing in my town for about a week in preparation for the event. I've been having a lot of fun and I've also made lots of progress on things in that short bit of time.
 
It’s very late and I’m absolutely exhausted and so overwhelmed, but I had to come in here to talk about tonight!! 🥹❤️

I hung out with my best friend tonight, and we talked about so much. We talked about our almost 7 years of friendship, him being busy on my birthday and how that hurt me, and literally everything else that we’ve needed and wanted to say to each other for so long.

I’ll probably talk about this in more detail after I’ve slept and the events of tonight have sunk in, but I’ve had a crush on my best friend for years now. I have never felt like this about anyone but him. We’ve spent years talking about having a future together, living in an apartment together with our cats, doing the most mundane stuff together etc, but I never knew if it was just talk or if he meant it like I did. I never knew for sure if he felt the same about me or if our back and forth flirting was just joking around, but tonight he told me that he feels the same way about me, and has for years. He told me stuff that I never knew about, like how he wrote about me and his love for me for his final creative writing project years ago. How he talks about how much he loves me to his family, friends and co-workers. How he has a whole playlist of songs that remind him of me. 😭

There’s literally so much more that I want to say, but I’m so tired and I want to get back to him, but he’s no longer just my best friend, he’s also now my boyfriend. Literally none of this has sunk in yet I’m so happy 😭❤️

I’ll come back later to talk about everything else I’m happy about, I just wanted to come in here and gush for a minute!!
 
  • I ordered 32gb of ram to upgrade my 8gb ram laptop, should make a huge difference especially with playing games! Next step after that is getting a replacement battery and changing it, then my laptop will be as good as new and even better :D
  • I didn't have a panic attack yesterday
  • The treadmill in my building is supposedly fixed so I'm gonna use it today, will be nice to get some exercise
  • Looking forward to my breakfast today, making sourdough toast with butter and 2 sunnyside up eggs :)
  • I drew for awhile yesterday
  • My new violin's updated delivery date is now Monday instead of Wednesday :)
  • Mocha got in my lap yesterday, just randomly jumped into my lap and purred and snuggled a bit. It was the first time he's done that since I got him a month ago ❤️ He's a sweet baby

This is so lovely ☺️ I am so happy for you Xara 💗



I went out to dinner with my husband and afterwards we went to this amazing donuts shop !!!! OMG they were huge and so amazing!!!!!!
 
- Had a good sleep!

- Another day without rain ❤️

- Had to sort out some stuff with work, they put me on a super long overtime shift for next week for a day when I'm unavailable :cautious: Managed to get it sorted out pretty quickly though! I'm no longer doing that shift 🤭 Happy that I took action about it immediately, my OCD makes it so that if I don't sort something out quickly I'll just dwell on and stress about my problem and it ruins my day (y)

- Looking forward to going out for dinner tonight with my family
 
I was driving across the bridge when a rock flew out from the car infront of me and it hit my window and didn't even leave a little scratch or scrape. It should have smashed the window but it just bounced right off. Can I get an amen
 
my older sibling's moved back home, feels pretty weird (don't think it's really sunk in just yet) because they've always headed back to london but i'm really glad they're back!!!! we went to ikea the other day and i bought a trailing ivy to hang out with my other ivy (sasha). i've named them the lord of the rings trilogy!! also tried the veggie hot dog with crispy onions for the first time and it was really yompoggers 11/10 vegetable greatness. best 65/85p?? i've ever spent in my existence
 
My vacation time has been officially approved! That's one step closer to my eclipse vacation which is only 23 days away now, with the eclipse itself being just 31 days out! I just have one more shopping trip to take care of tomorrow and my preparations for the trip will be 100% complete!
 
My second post in here today xnsjcnhfbc, but I gotta talk about Bonk now!!

We have pigeons in our neighbourhood now, 2 of which keep landing on our balcony. Bonk has missed her squirrel friends coming up here to see her, so she has been absolutely delighted by the pigeons!! And by delighted, I mean she stalks towards them like she’s hunting them, meowing the whole time, until she throws herself against the balcony door and scares them off. 😭

The pigeons have showed up twice today, and I was able to film her reaction during the second time!! Pls ignore my foot and me talking, I initially filmed this to send to my boyfriend (my boyfriend btw!!!!! I can’t believe I get to say that now I’ve been saying it all day I can’t stop!! ❤️) hehe. my silly kitty makes me so happy!!

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

- Went to my therapy appointment and it went well. 💚

- Exercised at the gym and did some crossfit as well this time! It was exhausting, but so worth it, haha. 🏋️‍♂️

- About to feed my kitties their special food. 🐱

- I'm excited for the Dallas Stars @ Anaheim Ducks game tonight. Hoping the Stars can extend their winning streak to 4! 🏒 🔥

- Glad that it's the weekend! I'm going to use it to relax mostly, as well as maybe see a movie. 📺

Today was not the best but also not the worst.

I’m happy because I shared my recent achievement in Genshin on a VA’s (late) discord server and received really kind responses 🙂. Also really happy with the kind comments on another server when I posted in the vent channel. I haven’t been active on the VA’s server for a long time, since maybe some time before he passed away and after a falling out with some friends on there I had at the time. It was nice to chat even just a little bit again, and this time in a channel I never thought I’d be posting in since I didn’t think I’d be able to play or get into Genshin 🙂.

My kittens snuggled real cute together tonight 🥰

I’m glad tomorrow I have nowhere to go 🙂. Today I had to go grocery shopping and it really drained me because of my anxiety of leaving the house.

Last night I chatted some more with a friend 🙂 and talked about Genshin a bit ☺️.

Last night I got to reputation 6 with Sumeru in Genshin; I’ve been wanting the furniture blueprints for awhile now. Sadly though, I’ve lost the “inspiration” for the area I wanted to use it for in my teapot; I’ve put that area on hold for now. Also disappointed that the food stand is only blue (three star) quality; blue and green furniture seem to take up more load no matter how small the item is.

I’ve never really played New Leaf online before, aside from visiting a couple cycling towns to adopt some of my dreamies, but I’ve had a lot of fun today trading and doing town initiatives with my fellow TBTers!! 😭 I’m honestly really glad staff incentivized online play with extra event points; I can’t let the social anxiety win when pretty collectibles are on the line 🙏

Also managed to reach the highest tier of scores in Puzzle League and Desert Island Escape for Hi-Score Hijinks!! I love Desert Island Escape, so it was nice having an excuse to play it again. Although Puzzle League is pretty stressful imo, and I didn’t think I was very good at it, but again... collectibles are a powerful motivator...

Watched Markiplier’s new Observation Duty video with my mom this evening!

Today’s walk was interesting! I found another chunk of quartz in the road (it’s about 3x bigger than the first one I found!!), rescued a large snail from the road, and saw a hawk!
