Been a challenging couple of weeks so let's see where I can find some happy.
Tuesday 19th March
☆ My girlfriend treated me to dinner. Spicy chicken and fries.
Wednesday 20th March
☆ We were supposed to get aromatic duck with my partner's sister, but she bailed on the day, but we still got duck anyway.
Thursday 21st March
☆ I managed to neatly wire an extension around a doorframe in order to create outlets on the opposite side so we could plug in a dehumidifier safely. Most productive thing I've done in days!
☆ We ordered paint swatches. Hoping to paint our living room soon!
☆ We finished watching the documentary Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey. Oh god it was awful. Interesting, but just so awful what those poor women went through.
Friday 22nd March
☆ At work, I was asked to prepare a chemistry practical that involves dipping nichrome wire in hydrochloric acid and then various chloride salts, then placing the salt-covered wire into the bunsen burner to observe the flame change colour. I had a lot of fun testing each of the seven salts! My favourite was the potassium chloride - it had a lilac flame! Followed by calcium chloride which was a super bright yellow, then lithium chloride which was red.
☆ My friend has been feeling down this week, so I dragged her out for sushi and the food was incredible. Best sushi restaurant I've found locally.
☆ After we went back to her place and she introduced me to The Menu (excellent film - but don't Google it; just open Netflix and go into it blind for the best experience). We ended up staying up til 5 AM chatting and watching movies.
Saturday 23rd March
☆ I made a massive pot of cream of mushroom soup. I'm not going to need to worry about making lunch for work for the next 2.5 weeks!
☆ In the evening my partner and I started watching The Keepers. Interesting but horrifying documentary.
Sunday 24th March
☆ I'm coming down with a cold/throat infection just days after recovering from a more serious illness. So I decided to be nice to myself and spent most of the day curled up on the sofa playing Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
☆ I made lamb chops and mushroom stirfry for dinner. It is the first time in over a week I've had the energy to put effort into making a home-cooked meal (the soup for work lunches doesn't count as I've not eaten any yet!) and it was delicious.
☆ My girlfriend was feeling low about something that happened with her friend, so I focused my attention on taking her mind off of it. Lots of cups of tea, cuddles, and more of The Keepers. She said it helped a lot.
And these two idiots continue to make me endlessly happy.

I also found all three of the Sanrio Sakura squishmallows at five below! I picked them up along with a smaller version of Luanne the possum 
.
. I got the message when she was offline so I didn’t get to chat but I’m still happy to hear back from her 
.
Just knowing it’s there for when I can buy it is making me happy ig
I think I might do 2 super long chapters instead of 3 though, but we'll see how it goes...
I've missed her so much
