What Are You Happy About Today?

I was a bit bummed that we couldn't place an altar for Dia de los Muertos this year due to my nephew's curiosity and strong grip. However, some bizarre things happened anyway.

-While watering the lawn with my nephew, we saw a yellow butterfly and monarch butterfly. I haven't seen these creatures in years. The monarch butterfly stayed for a good couple of minutes. It mostly likely was just puddling, but I like to believe that a relative was saying hello.

-Later on in the evening, my nephew was dancing along to Blue's Clues. I smiled at him and looked back at my phone. However, in that movement I could've sworn that I saw a black shadow in the corner of my eye. I then looked back at the kitchen, but there was nothing there. All felt calm and normal, so I'm going to assume that it was another relative saying hello. If anything it's just my imagination.
 
My bestie found my weather seed! It has been fantastic to be able to predict the weather and I hope it doesn't break with the incoming update! It'll be really handy for my AC:NH livestreams so I can show off cool sky patterns and special things!

Also, I had a great stream tonight, great support from my community, and had a lot of fun playing TalonRO with my bestie (though to be honest, it's always a good time with him no matter what we do). We also wished on stars on his island tonight and it was a nice time!
 
Managed to make some progress on my island, moved my campsite to where I wanted it to be for the seeable future and now I plan to continue to redesign my island in the morning. Can’t wait to decorate my island a lot once I’m able to do so soon and maybe I’ll share some pictures when I can then.
 
Got my Pfizer booster shot this morning. When I got home, I found a package at the door. It's my Fushiguro Megumi (Jujutsu Kaisen) figure from Japan! Now he joins Gojo Satoru on my table where I can see them every day as I play games and surf the web. I feel unreasonably happy. 😁

Behind them is my still shrink-wrapped 2022 Jujutsu Kaisen wall calendar.
 
This weekend we are going to introduce my kittens to my cat through a baby gate. Not quite sure how my parents are going to do this but the fact my tabby can meet the kittens in any way is very exciting to me. I will try to get pictures of her reaction :).

When we introduced my late gray cat and her sister to her and her sister, this was her reaction:

😅

I think I am close to naming my kitten! I shared the names I was leaning towards and my mom surprised me by liking the name that I came up with as a kinda joke (I liked it but thought it would be better as a nickname or something) since it was a reference to a game character that someone in their stream named a creature they used in a game.

Played Mario Party with some discord friends and won. ☺️ The lag was really bad though; didn’t win a lot of mini games partially due to that. Regardless, I still had fun.

I think I got a lot of my Christmas list done even though I’m not ready for it. Hopefully I finish tomorrow. :)
 
- Ordered some canvas fabric and extra strong thread; excited to try out something I have been wanting to do for years.
- Also ordered these cute little holly Christmas lights. Gonna buy a little Christmas tree to put in the bedroom 🎄
- ALSO also today I bought the DLC expansion for ACNH, of course!
Just a good day for shopping, I guess!
 
Going to an auntie's house to make soup with her that I've been craving for weeks. :love: Super happy because finding things I can eat right now has been rough.
Also ordered some really cute dinosaur plushies for the baby...at least I say for the baby...whether I end up keeping them however hnnnhngn...lol.
 
Today started off kind of rough because I didn't get any sleep last night, but it got better.

- I had a really good massage and feel better about the new massage therapist that I chose.
- I'm feeling more relaxed and less stressed now.
- I still have off work for the rest of the week.
- I got some cute pictures of some of my nephews via text.
- I had a good chipotle stew for dinner to warm me up since it was cold today.
 
2.0 dropping early is something to be happy about.

For sure! I just downloaded it and started up my game, and bought the DLC without even having watched the Direct. I’ve missed out on watching the ACNH Direct and last two Pokemon Directs. Either way I’m sure it’ll be great. :LOL:
