Incoming weird post:

Me and my younger cousin are in the habit of gifting each other weird things.

During Christmas I gave him an orange.

For my birthday this year he gave me a big bottle of Pepto Bismol.

We have a strong enough relationship that we can give each other silly things and get laughs out of it. Helps that our humor is similar.

I hate stomach upsets!!
 
I already became besties with four of the five new bunnies in Usagi Shima!! ;w; Also got the gazebo for my island aaaaa

Rescued two huge earthworms from the road during our walk today!!

I did some grinding in Fashion Dreamer and while Seeking Zeke is once again missing, I did run into one player cosplaying a Jack Jeanne character, and another player who was a cutesy maid with a handlebar mustache! Got pictures with both of them bc they were both great ahaha

uhhhh caved and ordered several glitter acrylic keychains from an Etsy shop in Germany... I will probably also be back once they restock...

Watched some Youtube videos with my family over the course of the day! We’ve also started watching ZombieCleo’s current Hermitcraft season c:

Got to work on some art today too!!
 
It was a good day today!

My parents cooked fried chicken again and it was just as delicious as last time! 😋

I signed up for the ACNH Neighborly Hide and Seek session on June 23rd. This is my first time partaking in this, so I can't wait! I hope it goes well for me.

Speaking of ACNH, I've gotten a lot of play time there too! First I helped my friend @Yoshi155 sell his turnips. Later he complimented my island, and that surprised me (in a good way) since it looks nothing like all the overly decorated islands on social media! I also visited @ZeldaCrossing64's island for the first time to deliver some stuff they needed, which was exciting! I wish I could explore Newgrounds for a little longer, but I had to leave as soon as they told me their Switch battery was running out. Thankfully I have plans to visit them again! Then I completed one of my Nook Miles achievements and caught plenty of new fish and a new bug to donate to the museum! :D

I hope you all have or have had a great day!

I applied for another job today. The company I applied for sets up interviews automatically, assuming you meet the requirements. That means I didn't quite make progress yet, but I'm hoping the interview goes well. I don't think I'm the best at interviews, but I'm hoping the person will give me a chance. I'm a good worker in spite of my job history, haha. This one is for a cashier position, but they also have overnight stocking positions available. As someone that's cross-trained for both, I should be alright.
I'm excited for the newest episode of this show to release on Sunday! It's not publicly released until the end of next week, but I have early access to the episodes via Patreon.
I may be moving sooner rather than later. My dad's looking for apartments tomorrow. I just really want to get out of where I currently live, so I'm happy about this. Most of my savings went to my dad for this apartment hunt. He pays the rent and utilities (while I just buy the food), but the extra money will help push this along.
 
A couple friend invited us to join them for dinner so we did. We had a nice time and it was so casual. It's so nice for things to be simple and smooth. We went to a Japanese grill place and it was delicious.
Like seriously, it was nice that it was simple and chill meet up. I wish more social things in life were this smooth. We always have a nice time with this couple friend.
 
Hello! It's been a long time since I've posted here and I missed you all! I'm happy to be back!

There have been a few things that made me really happy since my last post.

- My husband and I celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary! I took the day off work, we had a nice dinner out, and he even surprised me with a couple of presents. One gift was the Axolotl Prism shirt I've shared below.

- I've been seeing tiny brown birds tucked in the corners of my awning to sleep at night. Sometimes there will even be two of them snuggled up together in a single corner.

- A new bat has been visiting my back porch this summer. Sadly, I haven't seen Mortimer at all yet, but this new bat is hanging out most nights. It's a lot more wary than Mortimer and will fly off at the slightest movement, so I've been trying to move slowly and quietly to get it used to us. Unfortunately, my dog has other plans. This little bat's fur has a more reddish hue, so I've named her Ruby.

- I saw an absolutely adorable raccoon while walking my dog one night! I heard a rustling noise and my dog darted off after something, so I shone a flashlight in the area and saw the side of a grey body making it's way up the back of a tree. I caught a glimpse of its ringed tail and thought that would be it, but then it perched in the fork of some branches and just watched us the rest of time we were out there. It was a juvenile, not a baby but not large enough to be a full adult yet. This was the first time I've seen a raccoon in real life up close like that. Usually they stay just at the edge of the light or they're too far up in the tree to see clearly. I was so excited!

- I was working from home earlier this week and looked up just in time to see a deer walk across my backyard! I rushed to the kitchen for a better view and took some pictures. She wandered around the yard very casually, ate from random trees, gave herself a good scratch and head shake, and then calmly took her leave.

@Xara I figured you would appreciated these.

Caught her mid-head shake in this one, but somehow it came out as one of the clearest photos.
 
busy busy day today!!

preparations for my mom's 60th surprise birthday party has gone pretty smoothly, the only hiccup would be her cake. she's always been pretty sensitive to flavours but it's only been more sensitive since her chemo so recipe testing this week has been a struggle. she was able to immediately clock the tiniest amount of butter in the orange castella and the chocolate cheesecake was um...... a straight up no 😖
it's FINE, i ended up making the usual sponge cake she likes to eat and i made two pans :3 one's coffee and the other is orange flavoured since there's gonna be kiddos at the party and i didn't want them to have coffee flavoured sweets yet

my mom had us make this dessert, i have absolutely no clue what it's called and i'm not sure which it is... lao? cambodian? who knows, but i've eaten it before and now i get to make it which is fun!

to make things less suspicious, we're also having a father's day bbq with my paternal side of the family and we're gonna be bringing skewers for the potluck !! but we extended the invite to her sole sibling that's also in canada and thankfully my uncle was free! so my uncle, one of his kids and his girlfriend are able to come ( ˶ˆᗜˆ˵ )
 
* So, I was left to make a pretty hard decision this morning: I deleted and recreated my Switch account, and linked a new Nintendo account to it. Why did I have to do all this? Well, I did not have proper access to my old one anymore. I couldn't even check the password because it is censored and could not reveal it to save my life. And if I am remembering correctly, I believe I used an old google email I deleted a while back, so yeah...that was indeed a problem. I couldn't even renew my NSO subscription until this morning.
I also restarted my AC:NH island. It was a bit hard to do so after just having my birthday celebration this past Sunday, but I do think it was for the best. I was very iffy about continuing to play the one that I had, considering the account that corresponded to my Resident Representative was the one I deleted. I didn't check, but I wonder how that would have even worked. Plus, once again, my island turned into a mess I didn't have the patience to fix. I DO have one issue I need to resolve: It said I couldn't play the DLC on AC:NH (I DID buy it though), but I am hoping I can get that figured out.
So, why am I happy about all this? Well, even though I had to rebuy AC:NH, HHP, and Miitopia...I do feel like I made the right decision. Sure, it was hard to have to lose and rebuy my favorite games, but it feels wonderful having a legitimate Nintendo account after...I don't even know how long, and even starting fresh in a way. :,3
Plus, I still have my entire birthday money AND even an entire gift card from Christmas, so I didn't have to spend like all my money on this.

* In AC:NL, Apollo sent me a lovely wall in the mail. Then, when he...barged in (yeah, I'm apparently already at THAT point in New Leaf O__o), he gave me a rococo dresser. <333 Not one, but TWO of my wish list items. 💖 💖 💖

* Ate McDonald's for a late lunch/early dinner. 🍔🍟
We tried to order McDonald's last week on Friday, but it got canceled for some unknown reason .___. So, my brother got us Wendy's instead last week.
(my brother usually orders us Door Dash on Fridays)
But we tried again this week. :)
 
Today was alright I guess.

- Got up early and was productive at work. Went back to my usual routine. 📊

- Finished work and then fed my kitties, and then did some cardio at home and exercised for awhile. 🏃‍♂️

- Played some Genshin Impact and obtained and got Clorinde to level 90, and got a team set up around her. 🎮

- The Dallas Mavericks defeated the Boston Celtics 122-84, avoiding the 4-0 sweep and delaying the inevitable Celtics championship. At least now they hopefully won't lose the series on their home court. 🏀 🔥

Theres a rainstorm right now. Im home with the cat, cleaning the house and Tom is at work, probably buying pokemon cards. The news is on and the rain sounds lovely, plus there's some low-lying rainclouds that were obscuring the skyscrapers in the distance. Despite the fact I just hit my head while cleaning, it feels like a good day to be Monday.
