What Are You Happy About Today?

I saw the trailer for the newest episode of this show I'm watching. I'm really excited. The new episode releases in just a few days!!
I applied for another retail job this evening. I've been making it a goal to apply to at least one job a day. I'm hoping to hear something back soon despite the terrible job market. I struggle with job applications because I don't have the best job history due to my BPD, and I have to somehow close the gaps, or apply entry-level.
My last paycheck from my old job should be deposited into my bank tomorrow from my old job. It's not much since I only worked a few days, but it's something.
The rainbow tree in the banner looks nice, and I really like it. It makes me happy to see.
 
Today I’m happy that:

I did Salmon Run with @Vhoop @Mimi Cheems @Mokuren; I appreciated their patience with me 🙂. I was really out of it since even thought we did this many hours after I went grocery shopping, I still felt pretty drained. I still had a lot of fun though 🙂.

I got to do turf wars with @Aquilla @skarmoury and later with @Xara @Mokuren @Mimi Cheems as well. I had a lot of fun with them ☺️.

I heard from @Kirbyz today! :D I’m happy I heard from her and that she’s doing okay!

Last night I got another shiny doing tera raids 🙂.

I forgot what this guy looked like so I didn’t realize he was a shiny until I looked at the summary page. I decided to catch him since I didn’t have him and I thought its color looked a little different. I’m happy that I was right 🥳.

Now that I have a full cat team (tysm again @Chibi.Hoshi💜💜), I decided to start getting some gym badges—well, mostly so my Mew would listen to me in battle 😸. I love it so much! 🥰 I cleared the grass and bug gym. is it just me or are the gym battles a lot easier than they were in Pokemon Red to X? 🤔

I finally figured out the camera app on the rotom phone and how to take a picture of my pokemon for my trainer card 🙂. I might change it up from time to time. For now it is this

Been spending way too much on sandwich ingredients 😅; I’ve been stocking up since every Pokemon game I like to get as much of everything as possible (not the x accurracy items though); probably something to do with my OCD 😅.

I like how it shows how many shinies you’ve battled :D

On my second island, I can now see what items I’ve found so far, so now I can add items to the database list I made to keep track of what I have and need (I use it for my main island too).

Pretty soon I can invite more villagers to my second island; I still have the Nook Mile ticket that Tom Nook gave me. I’m a bit bummed that I can’t terraform yet. I was hoping to get that (flattening my island) out of the way asap but I guess I’m still in tutorial mode lol.

That’s it for now but may have more to post later 🙂
 
I was able to do my Celebrating Diversity entry today!! First time in a long, loooong time that I’ve sculpted anything ahaha, but I had fun! ^^

I met the fifth and final new bunny in Usagi Shima, and added both the dango shop and pagoda to my island!!

Watched some Youtube with my family this evening! Got to see Martyn InTheLittleWood’s POV of their Among Us stream today, and my mom and I also started watching Markiplier’s Poppy Playtime series!
 
Today was pretty good!

- Got up early and was productive at work. Finished the new thing I was working on. 📊

- Went to the gym and did an upper body day, and was able to lift the heavier bar compared to the lighter one I was lifting before (along with heavier weights on it). 🏋️‍♂️

- Came home and fed my kitties their favorite food, which they enjoyed. 🐱

- The Texas Rangers defeated the LA Dodgers 3-2. Considering that this was a meaningless win for us kind of and a meaningless loss for the Dodgers, and the Dodgers are about two times as great as the Rangers right now, if not more, we'll definitely take it. ⚾ 🔥

- Speaking of baseball, I finished the Galactic Baseballers event in Honkai: Star Rail and 100% it on my first try. Now I just need to do Memory of Chaos tomorrow and a few events in Wuthering Waves, and I'll be all caught up on events for my gacha games. 🎮
 
- Started watching the new season of Yuru Camp today, forgotten how much I love that show! <3

- Happy I am working an 11:30am - 7pm shift today because it means I'm not closing :ROFLMAO:

- Generally I've just been in a pleasant mood for the past few days, nothing is going wrong in my life rn :)
 
ive been feeling Fear(tm) about a potential diabetes diagnosis so i've been eating healthier, lighter meals this week. its been surprisingly better for my wallet and for my energy, why tf wasn't i doing this sooner???????? i feel great 😭😭😭

side note i found an incredible mediterranean restaurant with killer lunch specials. like $8 for a full meal & soup, its enough food that it ends up being lunch and dinner for me. so good
 
busy day and I've been running on about 4, maaaaybe ~5 hours of sleep, but!!
New Fashion Dreamer Fair dropped and I’m always down for more fantasy-inspired clothes but most importantly... they finally added a low/loose single braid hairstyle!!! 😭 It’s got me feeling re-inspired to hunt down Seeking Zeke’s eyes once and for all so I can finally be content with my main muse’s design

I finished re-reading volume 5 of Kimi ni Todoke and started on volume 6!

Bought the ice cream stall in Usagi Shima!! Also caught Ebi the lil sushi bunny eating... sushi... that looks exactly like him... I don't know how I should feel about this??

Watched a few Youtube videos with my family!

And I worked on some art this evening and got to try out some things I learned from Mistreil’s tutorials!! I actually used a clipping mask successfully and that’s a feat for me tbh
 
I experimented with a new makeup look, felt worried halfway but just committed to the process. While I love the colors I used, it's bit more on the spooky/fall theme than a summer look and I was going to Target later on, lol.

While I was having my items rung up, the cashier suddenly said, "your makeup is to die for!" It caught me off guard but wow that was so nice of him. I find that getting compliments without asking or directing someone's attention are pretty rare, so his enthusiastic compliment was amazing and also sorta spooked me, haha.
 
Today's been another good day!

- Got up early and was productive at work. Simulated taking over one of my work's groups for a little while. 📊

- Fed my kitties and then went to the gym to work on my lower body and legs. 🏃‍♂️

- Came back home and played some Honkai: Star Rail, and earned a perfect run on Memory of Chaos. 🎮

- Still too early to call, but the Rangers are currently up 3-1 on the Dodgers right now, which is surprising because I thought they'd be losing, lol. ⚾🔥

- Having fun talking to friends. 💚

- Planning on watching the newest Demon Slayer episode soon! 📺

EDIT: The Rangers won 3-1 and won the series against the Dodgers!! 🥳 🎉

I watched the 2024 Wholesome Direct: Indie Game Showcase last week! I was honestly surprised by how many of the games piqued my interest! I was most interested in Kamaeru: A Frog Refuge (-Mars- I think you'd like this one! frogs!!), but Tiny Bookshop, Été, Discounty, Rooster and Squeakross: Home Squeak Home also look like a lot of fun! I think the froggy game is the only definite get for me right now, but I'm definitely interested in checking the others out when/if they release on switch!

The biggest highlight of the direct for me though was definitely the Usagi Shima update announcement!! I haven't played since earlier this year since I completed all of the achievements, got all the structures and items I wanted and met and became besties with all of the bunnies, so I've been eagerly waiting for an update! This update added 5 new bunnies, new items, hats and structures, a new mini-game, an island expansion, and an increase from 3 bunnies being able to live on the island permanently to 5!!

I received the art I commissioned from the incredible and kind @Pixori! I'm a big fan of their art, and seeing my girl in one of their styles is such a blessing! I'm so happy with how it turned out, and am so grateful to them!

I'm also waiting on art I commissioned from an offsite artist, which I'm very excited about!

I played Splatoon 3 with @Mokuren, @Mimi Cheems, @Aquilla and @Dunquixote the other day! It was a lot of fun, and I'm very grateful to them for being kind and patient about me not having a single idea what I'm doing LOL. I'm very smooth brained when it comes to Splatoon, but I'm having fun with it and that's all that matters! :> ty again @Saylor ily

Speaking of Splatoon.. I finally made it to levels 2, 3 and 4, got my first non-default weapons (and have no idea what I'm doing with them 🫠), and was on my first winning Turf War team!! I haven't had a chance yet to explore the shops and features that unlocked when I reached level 4, but I'm excited to do so!

I bought my dad a Minion plush for Father's Day!! I'm not sure how he'll feel about it since he's not really into plushies, but he loves Minions, so I'm hoping he'll like it! I'm excited to give it to him!

The Usagi Shima update has been a lot of fun so far! I met all 5 of the new bunnies (Cloud my new beloved omg..), bought the island expansion, bought all of the new structures and completed the Track Star achievement, so I have all achievements complete again! The new running and jumping over obstacles mini-game is adorable! I'm still working on becoming besties with the new bunnies, so I gotta decide which 2 bunnies I want to invite permanently in the meantime... Cloud is a definite, but who else!! Tiger.. Celeste.. Moose.. Buttercup... I need to be able to invite 10 bunnies permanently tbh, I love so many of them!! D':

My mom won a giveaway for an adorable French Canadian pigeon enamel
pin, and she gave it to me since she knows I like silly, cute things like that!

Not much has been happening in Cozy Grove, but I reached 5 hearts with Pius of Grizz, caught 6 new critters, earned 3 new badges, and Bearos the Third let me hug him for the first time!
