What Are You Happy About Today?

Tuesday, March 19, 2024
  • Yesterday, I got a purple balloon from @/skarmoury in a giveaway! I love it, as purple is one of my favourite colours! Got an Orange balloon from the lovely @/August!
  • Got an appointment over and done with for another few months.
  • Got Blossom washed. Cleaned and dried all her blankets.
  • Done a quick tidy up downstairs.
  • Played some more New Leaf. My only regret about it is that I didn’t get into it sooner! The T and T Mart has opened today! Kidd was their first customer. Also, Buck trusted me to bury his Time Capsule. Hope I did it correctly! I don’t want to upset him!
  • Watched the first part of the drama ‘Coma’. Been looking forward to it since it was announced. Looking forward to the next episode, probably be tomorrow before I catch it.
  • Nearly, one month away from Record Store Day and my favourite Elton John album is getting a special release on vinyl ‘Caribou’! I need to try and get one there is only 3,000 available scattered between online and instore sales!
  • Bought an Ice Crusher, a Trolley release keyring (Trollies that jam are one of my pet peeves!), a Water bottle with time markers on it to try and drink more water and a Animal Crossing mug. Hopefully, everything should arrive tomorrow.
 
I've been searching for this for months. I bought it at a bookstore and lost it. I thought there was no hope.

I'm not much of a reader (2 years since I've finished a book). But I really wanted to check out Lord of the Rings. I can finally do it.

Very great choice for a book to read! I remember my dad gifting it to me years ago and enjoying every page of it. One of the rare instances in which I'd prefer a book over the movie(s). 🥳
 
So second post, It's almost 7pm and I never heard from the job so I'm pretty sure I didn't get it. I honestly cried because I really thought I was gonna get it. I honestly don't think I was ready to go back to work especially since just the interview and whatnot has me this stressed out and going full nights without sleep. So some good things about not getting it:
  • I have time to work on my mental health (bipolar and BPD) and just on myself in general. Like getting better/more sleep, meditating daily, working on my diet and getting into a exercise routine and working on DBT skills and CBT
  • I have time to spend with my cats Mocha and Mustachio ❤️
  • I have time to enjoy my main hobbies such as violin and art, and now DIY stuff
  • I have time to do other side hobbies too such as videogames, reading, watching shows/movies
Basically I'm using this time to work on myself. Maybe someday I'll be ready to go back to work. I don't think it's any time soon though. I think I need to to focus on the basics right now.

Tomorrow I'm sleeping in. I've been up for over 30 hours so I need to really sleep. I'm not setting an alarm. I'm letting myself get rest and then am going to do some household chores and cleaning to get my apartment back in order :)

So I guess maybe some good will come out of it.
 
I tried the new Waluigi Lavender Cream Frappuccino from Starbucks. It tasted exactly as I thought it would. It was the right amount of purple and delicious.
I cleaned up the living room and vacuumed like I had wanted to. I played a bit of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe earlier, and now I'm binging some Haikyuu!!
I stocked up on Baja Point Break Punch as they are on sale. I still have to try the canned version which I'll be picking up soon. I'm sure it'll be better than the bottle.
I feel like with each passing day my BPD gets better. Transferring jobs put me in an environment that was so much more accepting. This just shows that some jobs aren't worth the money at the expense of your mental health. I'm getting paid more now, but that wasn't the reason at all why I came. I came for the people and the acceptance.
 
Oh yeah, it's happy time peoplllllle...!

- Got up early today and got something finished at work that I've been working on. I'm also really happy because my station is now in my room, and, I actually have the mental ability to still get work done and manage my time well with not being in my office! : O

- I had a lot of fun playing Genshin Impact with a friend and am currently exploring Penacony in Honkai: Star Rail for more treasure chests. 🎮

- I fed my kitties their special food and snapped some cute photos of one of my kitties. 🐱 :blush:

- The Dallas MAVERICKS defeated the San Antonio Spurs 113-107 in San Antonio! Currently in that 7 seed and pushing to get into the top six. 🏀 🔥 👀

I got the last heart balloon color I was missing!! ;v; Now it’s just a matter of date-trading them to get them in the right order!

I visited a few more New Leaf dream addresses! I was actually visiting for a little longer than I intended, because our older kitty Boo jumped up into my lap all on her own!! 😭 She normally asks to be picked up instead, because she’s got arthritis in her legs and doesn't like to make large jumps anymore, so I was really happy to see that she felt up to it today!

My family and I watched Solidarity’s third Minecraft SOS episode and it was great ahaha
 
Sooo I got an interview today with a retail place. It was one of those record yourself answering questions interviews. So I submitted that today. Also I got a phone call today from another retail place I applied to awhile back and they wanted to set up an interview so I have one with them Friday afternoon. Maybe I’ll get something. Out of the three interviews I did/ am doing week the one I would prefer is the job I’m interviewing for on Friday. So hopefully this works out.

  • I had a lovely surprise this morning when I logged in to find that the wonderful @-Blue- had gifted me a Pink Balloon with a cute message. It put a smile on my face as soon as I saw it.
  • My day continued positively when @Rio_ helped me out with several of the ‘Town Initiatives’ tasks. Rio was really patient too, when for some reason Brewster wouldn’t serve a takeout coffee! They time travelled and got me a coffee! I also got to see K.K. in Club LOL! That was an added bonus!
  • I played some more New Leaf and Shrunk appeared. I collected the six signatures (Buck was first on the list!) and the club should be opening soon! After visiting Rio’s town, I am even more so looking forward to progressing in New Leaf!
  • Caught the second episode of ‘Coma’. Jason Watkins is brilliant.
  • Blossom loves crushed ice in her water bowl! She has been so cuddly this evening and laying beside me.
  • Bought a blender from Amazon I had been looking at, but ordered it today when it was reduced in the Spring Sale. Should arrive on Saturday.
  • It’s officially Spring in the UK!

Happy today because I had a fun time going out with my mom to do some errands. We went to Walmart to pick up some nail polish, which I chose a light blue and pink and I’m gonna do both colors on both my finger nails and toe nails. It will be really fun! Played a lot of Pokémon Go while I was there too and spun the Pokéstop a bunch of times!

Also, I picked up my first squishmallow plush! So… let the axolotl collection begin!

- Got up early and was productive at work. Also had a delicious breakfast. 😋

- Played a tonnnn of video games and I'm all caught up in Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail now. 🎮

- Fed my kitties their special food and cuddled with my favorite. 🐱

- The Dallas STARS just defeated the Arizona Coyotes 5-2!! Staying on pace to win the NHL Central Division. 🏒 🔥 💚
 
I'm almost halfway through the second season now on my rewatch of Haikyuu!!
Tomorrow is payday. This will be my bulkiest paycheck yet from this job. I can't wait for that direct deposit notification from my bank.
I received a few compliments on my Haikyuu!! shirt recently. It's always nice to see other anime fans.
The Los Angeles Kings are currently winning their game. I'm not sure it's a great thing considering I'm hoping they fall to a wild card, but I'm happy they are playing well.
 
My parents and I watched another of GoodTimesWithScar’s Hermitcraft Season 10 episodes! He died so much, it was absolutely hilarious 😭

I took some time to relax and play through the new Fashion Dreamer event! I’ll probably wait until tomorrow to design my items since I’ve already stayed up kinda late completing it; but the past few days have been kinda rough and I needed to take a break for a bit.
 
Finally finished my story for the event, pretty much finished getting my town ready to be dream addressed. I am just waiting for the right time to do this~ I'll bring my DS with me again to work today to do that.
And should get my scrap book ready, will proceed to draw things at work, colour them at home and be able to arrange it well enough to look good. If work wasn't so awful,I wouldld've had more time, but I'm just glad I get a break before the egg hunt.

Got my super smash bros, figuring out how to fight will be interesting. (I think I mentioned this already whoops)
