What Are You Happy About Today?

☾ Switched to a Christmas aesthetic and came up with a new winter lineup!! I miiight change my pfp/sig if I have the time, but I mainly just thought it was probably time to switch out of my birthday aesthetic ahaha

☾ Made a little bit of progress on some art today!

☾ I played Story of Seasons for a little bit!! I can access the safari now (which means I can mine now!! heck yeah!!), and am currently scrambling to try to be able to make clothes before the Fashion Fiesta… I still need my sheep to give me one more piece of wool before I can even make the sewing studio LOL. idk if I'm gonna make it to this festival in year 1

☾ And saw Grian’s latest Wild Life episode (which was hilarious omg) with my parents this evening!

  • Things have gotten really busy at work. However, it was made more bearable when I got to service a Volkswagen Beetle Dune... The exact same one I worked on in the past! I'm very lucky to work on it the third time as my coworkers gladly let me bring it in for a tire swap. That feeling of happiness lasted for quite a while! 🐞🚗
  • Making a quick trip to the mall, I saw a Shetland Sheepdog and... I got to pet one for the first time ever after getting permission from the owner! It's fur is so soft, fluffy, and was extremely cutified by it. I also talked with the owner for a bit who was pleasantly surprised by my ease of identification of the dog breed. 🐶

I wouldn't say that the day was bad, but there wasn't anything worth writing about due to a long day at work. 😂

  • I got to relax at home today since I'm off from work. 😌
  • I watched Homeward Bound with my sister and enjoyed it! It was also pretty good eating some pizza, chips, and ice cream while watching. We eventually watched the second movie and enjoyed it as well! 🎞️
  • It's the 30th anniversary of PlayStation and they dropped a video very recently to celebrate the milestone. 🎉 It showed various games, including a two second clip from Gran Turismo 7. That part resonated with me so much for obvious reasons. 🥹 But it also made me happy when Crash Bandicoot and even Parappa the Rapper getting a moment to shine! I bet @/Suguri would love to hear that for the latter hehehe. I heard that the PS5 made a callback to the startup screen of the original Playstation which was nice. I didn't get to experience that since I'm still stuck on the PS4, but @/xSuperMario64x's mother did! 🎮
1:00 got me the most. 1:37 is pretty rad. 1:42 is a pleasant surprise! It's about skill, nostalgia, and rhythm for me!
  • Staying somewhat on topic to the previous point, I heard that online will be free for a short time this weekend, so I'll be sure to take advantage of that in Gran Turismo 7 and possibly Ace Combat 7!
  • I made some more progress on my Secret Santa drawing! I'm in the rough outline stages hehehehe.
  • I commissioned @/Yanrima~ to make an art piece for me! I'll be excited to see the outcome. 😄
 
I went into the office today and got to see several of my coworkers. They were all very welcoming. I chatted with one girl about her marriage celebration in November and she told me how much she would miss being on the same team when they move me. It really meant a lot to me because she didn't just say that from a work perspective. She told me I made her feel at ease and included. 😭

It was another relatively quiet day of sorting through emails and watching training videos. I'm down to about 1300 emails from 2200, so I'm making progress. A few people did come to me with questions, but they were quick and simple. I took all of my breaks. I went walking on my morning and afternoon breaks and read during my lunch break.

They have a scale at work, so I weighed myself for the first time since my procedure and found out I've lost 13 pounds! Now I'd like to get back to exercising on a regular basis so I can lose a few more.

We have tentative plans to play games with some friends this weekend.

  • It's been lovely to catch up with a friend on TBT.
  • Fitness Boxing 3 for the Switch arrived today instead of tomorrow which is the release date! Been playing that, and was glad to be able to change my instructor to the lovely Bernardo after an initial workout! Bernardo always makes me smile. Also, gained enough points to unlock some songs. The first one had to be 'I'm Still Standing' by Sir Elton John!
Edit: Typo!

☾ We had a power outage today, which I took as an opportunity to start playing Pocket Camp Complete and ohh my god I’m hooked… I have been collecting so many cute little clothes and cute little items and I’m having a lot of fun!!

☾ Also had the time to play through a couple days in Story of Seasons, and I have the Sewing Studio and an Angora rabbit now!! I still don’t know if I’ll be able to make enough cloth in time for the Fashion Fiesta but at the very least I have Tried™️

☾ Watched SmallishBeans’ latest Wild Life episode with my parents this evening!!

Today's been pretty good and this week is ending fantastically! Yesterday I finished building Sunday in HSR pretty much. Maxed his traces and everything else, and got some passable relics for him. Today I got up and went into work and was productive, and I get paid tomorrow. The weather was also nice and sunny, but not too hot again, which was lovely. Last, but certainly not least, the Dallas Mavericks take on the struggling Washington Wizards in a couple hours, going for their 6th win in a row to further ascend to the top of the NBA Western Conference. Here's hoping they can pull it off! 🏀 🔥 💚

  • I played some more of Fitness Boxing 3. Thought it was a nice touch as Bernardo was wearing a pair of Reindeer antlers for the Holiday season! Fitness Boxing 3 just feels as if there is a more fun element to it aswell!
  • This has been the first day I have seen a huge improvement in Blossom. I cannot believe it, I honestly thought I was going to have to contact the vet again.
  • Gave Blossom a bath. Washed all her bedding, blankets and her Christmas outfits.
  • Been having fun thinking of scenes for Buck's Advent Calendar.
