Have had a good week so far, not too busy. That is always a bonus!
Found a record store about an hour drive away that will be be stocking the Record Day Store edition of 'Caribou' 50th Anniversary Vinyl by the wonderful Sir Elton John! They can't reserve them, so I will need to be waiting outside for them to open! Just over a week away! So excited!
went through my tv and wires, to make it more less stressful and I know what plugs go to what.
Got rid of some dvds
And also played a bit of animal crossing gamecube version, havent done to in a while, but nearly finished paying tom nook off so heres hoping for a better house size~ i guess insects spawn more with flowers? Then I need more flowers XD
Happy today because I got up early, around 7 a.m., and knocked out my Genshin, HSR, ACNH, and ACNL dailies. I was thinking to myself about how much progress I've already made this year, not just with working out and everything, but with my mood as well. I've been sleeping a lot better and seem a lot more engaged in things. When I got up this morning I found out that all my Switch data transferred successfully, and as weird or cheesy as it may be, I think that in combination with the eclipse finally helped me let go of some negative feelings I was holding onto. Before, I would let minor things make my mood spiral, but nowadays I seem much better at handling it. My mom and plenty of others made sacrifices so that I could get to this point, and in the future I'll make sacrifices as well for those that come after me.
☾ It's two months away, but my dad got us tickets to the Dodgers @ Pirates game. My family lives in Pittsburgh and coincidentally the Dodgers are going to be there the weekend of his birthday. The last game I went to ended up being rained out and I couldn't quite make it to the next one, so hopefully nothing happens this time around. ☾ I've noticed lately that I've been relying less on other people for my happiness, and I think that's a step in the right direction. A year ago, my happiness was heavily dictated by my favorite person and that just wasn't doing it for me. I recently found happiness in other areas of my life, more importantly not revolving around other people. ☾There's a package I'm looking forward to receiving within the next week or two. I'll be posting more about it, including pictures, when it's finally in my hands! ☾ I updated some of my playlists on Spotify, and downloaded said playlists for offline listening. Offline listening is useful for plane rides, which I'll see a good bit of this year.
Found out that Pilotwings is included in the Super Nintendo section included in NSO! I loved playing that on the DS, but it's even better now it's on Switch! Completed Stage 1, only needed 7 points to progress to Stage 3. Will need to try again tomorrow.
I was having a good day, but it got even better when I had a chat with the lovely @xSuperMario64x . It's always so nice to hear from you, Bug.
My day just began so on so far, so not much yet. One thing that made me happy is thay my game arrived! I don’t have time to try it out though, unfortunately.
Jewels was super snuggly today under the blankets and slept with me most of the day . I really needed it since I’m so stressed and at my limit.
I’m hoping once I’m home from the concert and start playing, i’ll have more things that made me happy and my mood picks up. Might not though since going out especially to events like this drains me completely and i’m still sleepy right now. Being around my dad and his anxiety also drains me.
With help from a good friend, letting me use her switch; I finally have a chance to 'reset' and have a new Island!!
I have a few ideas for themes
Decided to start one about a kindgom, hope to finish off making a journal entry for today and continue more in the day tomorrow~
☾ I played through the Future Fair in Fashion Dreamer today! While I'm not really into futuristic aesthetics, I still had fun designing my sets and revamping my showroom! It also meant I had room to play around with palettes I wouldn't normally use on event clothes, since they're so limited.
☾ LDShadowLady posted a new Minecraft SOS video this evening and we got to watch it, along with a few other videos!
Today was honestly not bad. I’m still stressed out about the hoyoverse stuff and mad, but Splatoon really helped and now being home with my kitties . What also made me happy, was to see how happy one of my nieces was to see me at the concert (at least my mom claims she was as well as my other two) and how excited my niece (the one who had a concert with her class) was.
I can’t put down Splatoon even though I think I’m losing more than I’m winning and am not very good. I’m still having a lot of fun . I’m mentally exhausted but I want to keep playing regardless lol. I got to finish my genshin dailies but i think i won’t today; i got 3/4 done at least. I’ll probably will have to put it down eventually since I still need to catch up on the event in Fate GO.
Tomorrow my mom is making me brownies again . She’s also making chili; her chili is the best .
Thanks everyone for the hug reactions here and in the bothering thread, and also for your patience . I feel bad for lately needing to vent a lot more so I greatly appreciate it (and never any pressure for anyone to react or read it) . Really happy with all the support and kindness here .
an indigo moon jacket in the same size and colour as my siblings' came up on vinted this morning and i bought it!! i'm so hyped for it to arrive, my go-to colours clothes-wise too! (it's a teal velvet jacket with flowers with groovy detailing and it's one of the greatest things i've laid my eyes on). i will cherish it with my entire being
also i went ahead and bought the crazy horse dr martens that i posted here about before a few months ago!!
- my mom's speech has been improving slightly. Even her speech therapist said she was happy with my mom's improvement
- I went to the dentist and surprisingly did not have any cavities to fill. I was shocked cause I haven't been in years
- my partner has been doing really well in school. My parents also agreed to pay a small portion of my partners student loans and I can tell it was like a weight lifted off my partners chest.
- I think the lump in my throat has passed.. I don't wanna jinx it though. I wasn't even able to have coffee for a week cause everytime I'd drink it, I'd get anxiety and the lump in my throat.
- life has been hard but I've been playing a lot of stardew valley and that always cheers me up. The 1.6 update is so beautiful
𓆑 This is a semi-old happy, but I was able to go out and get the supplies I needed to decorate my egg, and I decorated my egg + submitted it on time! I honestly wasn’t really in the headspace to decorate an egg this year, both creatively and mentally, but I’m glad I did anyways! I based my egg on Yuki from Usagi Shima, and I think it turned out really cute! My bf hyped it (and me) up when I showed him, which made my heart so happy !! I’m happy to have a lil snow bunny egg to go with my chick ice cream egg from last year! I love snow bunnies hehe
Along with my egg supplies, I also got myself a 36-pack of dual tip markers, and mini message in a bottle jars to use as photo decorations! I wasn’t expecting much from the markers since they’re from the dollar store lol, but they actually aren’t bad! They’re pigmented, odourless, smudge-free and the colours are pretty cool! I could do without the 10 different shades of grey, though. My only complaints are that they bleed through thin material (so paper…), and the dark green one splattered on my leg when I opened it for the first time. But overall, for a dollar store product that costed less than $5, not bad!
𓆑 I commissioned and received some more amazing art from @/MrBox and @/g u a v a!! Getting to commission such incredible artists and receive their beautiful art is one of my biggest joys, and is an honour and a privilege that I don’t take for granted! I’m forever in awe of the talented artists in this community!
𓆑 So much exciting (and sad) stuff has happened in Cozy Grove since my last post! I reached 5 hearts with Valentina and Allison, which was so joyous yet bittersweet. It was so heartwarming to me that both sisters moved on around the same time. I also found out how Jeremy and Valentina died, and Jeremy’s story legitimately made me so sad ?? He’s been breaking my heart since day 1, I just want this sweet old bear to have peace On a less sad note, I got to meet my 15th bear; Pius of Grizz, a Ruins Spirit priest!! His design and area are both very cool! I also unlocked a new ancient lamp and a giant area to put stuff in, lit up the lamp and most of the area, caught 1 new mythical critter and earned 2 new badges!!
This lowkey made me emotional LOL
𓆑 I was a very brave adult today and made the appointment to get my meds refilled! I’ve been putting it off since anxiety and I hate phone calls, but I’m really proud of myself for finally getting it done! It’s definitely a weight off my shoulders. I’ll be seeing a male doctor (my regular doctor is still on maternity leave), which makes me a little nervous, but it’s just to get my meds refilled so everything should be fine!!
𓆑 The first trailer for Joker: Folie à Deux came out, and I can already tell it’s going to be one of the movies of the year for me!! I’m still not sure how I feel about it being a musical, but Lady Gaga’s in it, so it’s obviously gonna be iconic! And Gaga looks sooooooo good as Harley Quinn omg !!!? Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn is everything to me, but Gaga’s take on the character looks amazing omg… I’m so excited to see her in action!!
𓆑 I got my galaxy egg!!
𓆑 I tried strawberry milkshake pop-tarts for the first time, and they were delicious!! And surprisingly, they actually tasted like a strawberry milkshake! I was expecting them to just taste like the OG strawberry pop-tarts but more artificial, but those mfs actually lived up to their flavour! They tasted like a Wendy’s strawberry milkshake/frosty specifically, and they were yum!! I’m normally not a big pop-tarts fan, but I might have to get another box…
Caught up with some of my diary. I had pieces of paper and notes everywhere that needed to be written in! Still have some things to enter in, hopefully I will finish it within the next few days.
Managed to tidy up.
Played some New Horizons, Mario Kart Deluxe 8 and Pilotwings.
I bought Cluedo from the Nintendo eShop.
I don’t know how I missed it last night, but was happy to discover Super Mario World in the Super Nintendo NSO section! I loved that game when I was younger.
An appointment which I had to attend fortnightly has been switched to monthly.
I ordered an item which should arrive on Monday! Pictures will follow when I receive it!
Hope everyone is having a great day.
It’s been a busy few days. Some things from yesterday:
Work yesterday was early and a half day. It went fast. My assistant manager bought everyone lunch. I was able to get Aurora a walk before the rain. She was able to play with her friend Tinker.
It was a rainy afternoon so got some cleaning done and played ACNH .
Today is a long work day but still good . It’s now half over and I start vacation tomorrow. So excited to go away on Monday.
Hope you all have a great weekend.
i’m doing okay atm, as long as I don’t think about hoyoverse . splatoon is helping distract me and relax. I’m so happy I got this game (thanks again to @Yanrima~ talking about it ; gave me the push I needed to finally get the game even though I’ve been curious for some time). I had the most points on my team for some of my matches. I didn’t take screenshot since I thought I did terrible and all but one of the times were losses . Idk if that means I’m doing something right but it still is nice to see and makes me a bit happy.
Last night too, a random player and i were being silly together in the lobby while waiting for our match. it started out with three of us jumping and sliding around as the little squids, but then it was just me and this one person. it is pretty silly but i thought it was a little funny and unexpected .
Spanky slept most of the day upstairs with me . Jewels right now is sleeping on my bed. Last night she was laying so cute; I meant to share this last night but forgot. When Spanky was still in here, she perked her face up for kisses . she loves giving kisses .
She really knows how to relax . She also loves belly rubs . It looks like a trap but it really is not since she’ll stretch out and expose her belly and chin more when I rub it or by her leg .
My mom surprised me today with some pocky and these peanut butter pretzels that I like .
Working through some attention span issues. I made it through a 2 hour and 45 minute movie without pausing. This was previously impossible. At one point the only way I could maintain focus was through pacing the room.
I'm happy to be back! It's been a busy few months with real life, TBT events, and mod stuff. But things have started to calm down a bit, so you should be seeing me around a bit more.
Other things I'm happy about today include:
- Finishing my work on time and completing everything I planned on doing today.
- I'm only about a week and a half away from my medical consultation. It feels like I've been waiting forever, but I've accomplished a lot in that time so whatever the outcome hopefully I can focus on what I need to do to get better.
- It's Friday! I've got a few plans for the weekend, but mostly I'm looking forward to sleeping in.
During the time I've been away from this thread, the main things that have made me happy were all animal-related. My dog, of course, always makes me happy. I saw a bunch of wildlife, including birds, squirrels, rabbits, groundhogs, opossums, skunks, snakes, vultures, and deer. I helped a local rescue to do a trap and release for the stray/feral cats near my mom's place. We caught 7 cats in total and they were all spayed and neutered.
. I really needed it since I’m so stressed and at my limit. 
. I’m mentally exhausted but I want to keep playing regardless lol. I got to finish my genshin dailies but i think i won’t today; i got 3/4 done at least. I’ll probably will have to put it down eventually 
since I still need to catch up on the event in Fate GO. 
On a less sad note, I got to meet my 15th bear; Pius of Grizz, a Ruins Spirit priest!! His design and area are both very cool! I also unlocked a new ancient lamp and a giant area to put stuff in, lit up the lamp and most of the area, caught 1 new mythical critter and earned 2 new badges!!

. She also loves belly rubs
