What Are You Happy About Today?

How is it already May omg…. :’o it never fails to amaze me how quickly time passes. I hope May is wonderful and kind to us all. 💗

𓆑 I finally obtained one of my most wanted collectibles, a snowflake glow wand (ty lie u r my hero)!!!!! I’ve come up with so many lineup ideas with it over the past year and I have been frothing at the mouth... just waiting to actually be able to do them….. and I finally can !!!

𓆑 My amazing friend @ZeldaCrossing64 gifted me a black rose !? I am still struggling to figure out how to properly express just how happy and grateful I am, but my heart is so full. I already said this to Zelda, but this rose is much more special than any I could’ve grown would’ve been, because it came from such a sweet and wonderful person. 🥹 I’m so !!!!!, I love my friends !!

𓆑 My wonderful friend @-Blue- also surprised me with art of my persona!!? They sent it to me like… 5 mins after I saw the rose from Zelda, so I was on the floor !! Tears streaming down my face !!! I don’t know what I did to deserve such kindnesses and amazing friends, but I’m more grateful than I’ll ever be able to express. 🥹

𓆑 Bonk blessed me with a couple cuddles since my last post! She also decided it was time to practice being a lap cat again by trying to climb onto my lap while I was in the bathroom, which uh… was questionable timing !! But it was still kind of cute LOL

𓆑 I’m so grateful I was able to gift hybrids to a couple friends! It doesn’t match even a quarter of the kindness that they’ve shown me, but being able to do things for my friends always makes me happy. I would give my friends the whole world if I could !!

𓆑 The spring festival in Cozy Grove has been cute and fun so far! I got to meet Ms. Carouse (a raccoon!!) on the first day, and she sells such cute clothes! I also got to buy bowls of peas from her, the last food item/recipe I was missing, and completed Captain Billweather’s Salad Recipes collection! I’ve found 4 duck nests for ducklings, and 3/4 of my ducklings have hatched and are following me around!! 🥹 They’re soo cute, they remind me of Molly from AC! I love watching them waddle after me and hearing them quack! They also often go to investigate plants and chase critters around the island, which I think is so cute!! I love my ducklings, I’m so sad they’re only around for the spring festival :c

I also reached 5 hearts with Arjun (which was… depressing...), said goodbye to him and Clyde as they officially passed over and made room for my first 2 New Neighbears DLC bears!! I met Lillian McQuill first, who looks like a mouse and is very shy! I also met Archie Pawston, who kind of looks like a piñata dog!! They’re both very cute, I’m excited to learn more about them! And finally, I earned 4 new badges!

𓆑 I spent about an hour last night coming up with new lineup ideas (as if I don’t have enough already 😭), and I’m so in love with them !! The historic sceneries have me feeling so inspired omg

- my mom has completed her speech therapy & physio program that she's been doing for months out of the house. It's almost been a year since her stroke and she's come a long way. She's gonna start a new program with people that come to the house instead of us taking her to the doctors place 3 times a week. Thank God cause I was starting to get over whelmed by the sheer amount of appointments she had.

- the sun is shining bright and my mood has been staying good. Also I haven't barfed in a couple weeks so I really appreciate that. Thanks universe
 
my dad got scammed out of £2k coz he fell for that "hi dad i broke my phone and need money urgently" scam 😭 tbh the fact he got scammed is low key sweet knowing he'd be willing to send that much if we were in a panic but i felt AWFUL bc he was by himself abt to go to an appointment and he panicked and just sent it without really thinking ...

well anyways i was thinking there's no way he's getting that back but the bank refunded the full amount after their investigation and im rly happy for him bc he felt sooooo awful (him and my mum have a joint acct and he's only just retired) so im happy for him !!!
 
I saw a turtle when we were leaving to go on our walk this morning!! Little guy was just chilling on our sidewalk ;v; they’re so cute, I love when turtles pay us a visit

Also rescued a pretty big moth that I found on my bathroom wall this morning and let it free outside!

Finished some more personal art today + started on another sketch!!

My parents and I watched another episode of GoodTimesWithScar’s current Hermitcraft series! We’re still pretty behind on his episodes, but we’re slowly getting there!
 
Today was another pretty good day 🙂.

I played Splatoon with @Aquilla and had a blast ☺️. She gave me some really helpful tips :D. I feel like I’m improving quite a bit and understanding the game more thanks to our playtime together as well as playing with @skarmoury and also our chats & discussions in the Splatoon thread. Grateful to both of them for letting me drop in 🙂. It was fun playing against Skarmoury last night too since the drop in sometimes had me on the opposite team (really tough though since she’s so good; she splatted me plenty of times 😅), I feel like it was a good learning experience 🙂.

Yesterday I was able to get myself to do my Genshin dailies and the event. Not impressed by the event since it seems like all the other events with slightly different objectives, though I was happy when I got to use Wriothesley as a trial character ☺️. Excellent reminder of how much I “need” him 🙂. Will see if I can try to do the dailies today.

DUNNNN 🥹 so so happy to get to play with you guys too! we three should play fr fr thats one person more for a team!!! 💕
and NAWWW you were doing great imo, promise!! i remember we had a time we were 1v1 and i found it so hard to splat you omg you had quick movements and dodging skills !! 😭👏 ggs all around, you did great 💪
 
I should have included this in my last post, but also happy that the Dallas Mavericks just defeated the LA Clippers 123-93 to take a 3-2 playoff series lead as well! I was expecting either the Mavs or Stars to lose tonight, but looks like they both won. 🥳 🏀 🔥

The Rangers lost to the Nationals 1-0, but I don't really care about that right now. Lol.
 
Today ended up being better than it started, some of you guys here really cheered me up 😭
But I also got to celebrate Beltane properly because it didn't end up raining! Made a little feast for myself including mushroom pasta with sheep cheese, roasted rosemary potatoes and broccoli, then a honey cake for dessert 🥰
then went out and had a fire using a brush pile I had been saving 🔥

Have been struggling a lot lately, but it's days like today that remind me that it's worth it to keep at it <3
 
- Wrote a huge chunk of an essay last night, so I'm pleased about that. It's on a topic I've always been very interested in, never thought I'd be writing a history essay about it tbh!!

- Found out I've been made eligible for a Masters Degree fast track (basically I can get onto a selected course without doing a formal application), I don't think i want to do it, but it's kind of flattering ngl 😅

- The weather has been amazing these past few days

- Edging closer and closer to the end now, and I've got lots to look forward to, have some days booked off work and also my birthday/trip to Amsterdam. Just need to get all of this uni work out the way 🥲
 
We got our first bloodwork back from Todd's FIP treatment and I'm glad to say he has massively improved! The only thing that is a slight worry is his creatinine levels (they're on the low end, but we think this might be because of the weight loss he experienced due to FIP. It should hopefully increase as he gradually gains his weight back).

He went from 4.9kg to 3.7 in around a month, and after a month of treatment he is now back to 4kg and seems to be gaining every few days which we're so happy about. I cant tell you how much of a relief it's been to see him back to normal (and with so much more energy!!). Fingers crossed he stays like this throughout his recovery period :) we have another 2 months of treatment to go so not out of the woods yet.
 
The Los Angeles Kings are officially out of the playoffs. I wasn't expecting much out of this year, partly due to the unfortunate match-up, but now that it's over, the team can focus on pursuing a new goaltender. There are other areas that need improvement, sure, but it starts there. You play more confidently with a goalie you can rely on.
I finally got some new shoes. They're basically just a new pair of the same shoes I've been wearing for years. They were heavily discounted because of a Mother's Day sale. My current ones were beat up taking into consideration that I also wear them for work, so these were much needed.
There's this market near me and the entire store is a treasure trove of imported foods from around the world. I haven't been inside until recently, but there are some things I wouldn't mind trying. I don't ever buy huge quantities of food, but I picked up a few products! Can you tell I love banana?
The milk came in a six-pack, but I'm only showing one since the pack is open.

I almost got really irritable with someone I care about today for literally no logical reason (just me making assumptions as usual) I stopped myself before I said anything stupid. I felt my emotions getting strong while we were talking like they were bubbling up and ready to explode but I managed to kind of distract my mind somehow and not like give into negative emotions and burst out angrily.
I've had my fair share of BPD outbursts, but my issues were mainly the other aspects of the disorder (ie: disassociating and a sense of emptiness). I find it helps to think before I say or do things. I know it's hard to fight the impulsivity and control your emotions but I try to remember that my emotions do not control me. You have the right to control how you feel. Sometimes I have to bite my tongue and sometimes they get the best of me, but I've been the one in control more recently. You just have to remember that your disorder does not define you. Be proud of your small victories because we all have to start somewhere. I'm proud of you!
 
Today's been another great day! 😁

- Got up and was productive at work. Had a lot of laughs too. Finished something I was working on. 📊

- Let my kitty into my room and cuddled with her for a bit. 🐱

- The Texas Rangers are up 4-0 on the Nationals right now and about to win the game, which would win them the series 2 games to 1! ⚾ 🔥

- I'm headed to the gym again tonight to exercise after a brief hiatus! 🏋️‍♂️ 🏃‍♂️

- The weather outside is lovely. :blush:
