What Are You Happy About Today?

[SkyKnight03]

My cousin who works at Wendy's came over last night. He surprised me with 5 free frosty coupons and a free meal coupon.

I traded in 5 of my empty LUSH containers for a new fresh face mask to try out! I'm going to have a relaxing bath and use some of it later! I also have just got a PS5 after years of wanting one so am starting to check out what games are on game pass on there.

 

[Cirice]

I took a nice bubble bath
I also received a bunch of those bath pearls you saw in stores in the 2000s (nostalgia made me buy it) and I'm looking forward using them too soon.
I'm feeling relaxed now.

☾ I watched an episode of Hunter x Hunter and two (2!!) episodes of Delicious in Dungeon with my family this morning!!

☾ The last Pokémon TCG card I wanted arrived safely in the mail today!! ;w; So until unless any new cards catch my attention, my collection is yet again complete

☾ I got my tickets from the 2024 Fair Pop Quiz, and feeling happy with how I did!! I only had a few extra throwback tickets so I went ahead and spent them on the tradeable feather raffle eeeee

☾ And I played Among Us with fellow TBTers in the 8pm session tonight!! ;v; I was impostor a lot this time aslfjskdkf but I had a lot of fun!!

☾ I watched the final episode of Disventure Camp. I saw the majority of it on Tuesday, and the full version was just as great! My pick for the final three ended up not winning, but I do like the route they went here as it made sense. The whole premise for this whole episode was basically "money isn't everything" and "I won, but at what cost?" Pretty much the entire cast had happy endings aside from the winner.

☾ I'm happy about the NHL season starting soon. I've gotten a few comments on my Los Angeles Kings lanyard, especially working at the Airport where I see fans from all over. I can't even tell you how many Pittsburgh Penguin fans tell me that they're still upset at us for taking Fleury (the former PIT goaltender) even though that wasn't even LA? It was actually the Vegas Golden Knights, but hey, I suppose it's an easy mistake to make? Similar spelling!

☾ I'm happy that I'll be able to get something taken care of next week that I've been meaning to get taken care of. I know this is vague, but I'm never specific about problems until after they're taking care of. I'll explain further next week, lol.

Today was pretty good!

I had a lot of fun playing Among Us today! I didn’t get imposter as much as I’d like but always still fun . Plus probably better that I didn’t since everyone now is extra SUS of me lol @Xara . I got voted out as a crew again , oops. I really have bad short term memory; not sure what to do to make me less sus. I was just doing my tasks too

I’m looking forward to my next sessions. This is the first time in a long time that I’ve been looking forward to each day . I am surprised how much I’ve been enjoying the games. It’s nice too since I’m getting the opportunity to chat more with other tbt members since normally I’m too shy .

My mom made me corn bread today .

I got some more items customized in ACNH for variations that I didn’t have and made more progress on my furniture list that I’m working on for my shop.

I’m excited about the polls tomorrow.

Today we went out to a restaurant to celebrate my brother's birthday!

And after that I booted up my Switch and went to my dear @ZeldaCrossing64's ACNH island to gift them stuff and to chat. I miss having conversations with them in the game.

That was all for today.

 

[Giddy]

I got shortlisted for an interview!!!!!!!
I'm scared, Ive never really had a proper interview before omgomg
The location is a bit far but i havent heard back from anything else so i aint gonna turn down an interview. I have to do a short task, so just emailed asking if thats in oerson or not.
Its an receiptionist and admin apprenticeship 0-0
What a nice wake up email (definitely after my cat peed my bed again but wasnt as bad as last time)

 

[Mr_Keroppi]

Today I had a really amazing visit with some family members that I hadn’t seen in a long time! I am glad everyone is doing good and we could chat outside as the weather is really good!

 

[Suguri]

wrong thread.

I've been kind of spotty with my activity here. Things have been a bit rough recently, but I wanted to thank everyone for the support they gave me. All the kind wonderful messages and for checking in on me. That really made me happy and it definitely helped during these times! I appreciate you all!

So many of you sent lovely messages. Roxxy gifted me two kitty collectibles and themysterybidder gifted me a rose both had such wonderful messages added to them. Thank you Doo, Yoshi155, ZeldaCrossing64, azurill, Firesquids, Mr_Keroppi, Dunquixote, skarmoury and Xara (in no particular order!) for checking in and the all the wonderful messages and or chats! I appreciate you all, thanks! I was honestly not expecting so many to respond, give their condolences and support. This community is so wonderful.

 

[KittenNoir]

Attended a session of Among Us hosted by @Dunquixote and played with so many lovely people

Getting ready now to see my friend for a early bday lunch and shopping day

 

[SkyKnight03]

LOL I ordered a little too much pizza. There was so much cheese I could only eat a couple slices.

Then I complain about indigestion. Go figure.

Also it was my second time ever driving at night. I made it home successfully.

 

[Mimi Cheems]

Today I'm happy about a couple of things!!

𖹭 My mom brought me 2 Dr. Peppers earlier. My stepmom has been really naggy about how much I drink pop (it shouldn't even matter to her bc I'm 23 and can literally do what I want).. I haven't had a Dr Pepper in a while, but I'm happy my mom brought me some ><

𖹭 Watched a few more episodes of MASHLE: MAGIC AND MUSCLES Season 1! I'm so close to finishing S1! Then I'll be onto Season 2! I also was able to buy the first volume of the manga, so I can finally start reading that, too! ^_^

𖹭 I made my first purchase on a Japanese Proxy shopping site today. My best friend wants to match outfits for the ATARASHII GAKKO concert we're going to together. I bought a cute sailor lolita coord! It's a lavender color, above the knee-- so cute! I'm super excited. I was really surprised with how plus size friendly the brand is, too!

Spoiler: Pictures of the Coord

𖹭 I got my lolita socks and petticoat in the mail today from Amazon! I was kinda sad the petticoat didn't fit, but the socks are too cute! I can't wait to wear these with my outfit! >w<

𖹭 I'm gonna buy a MASHLE cosplay soon, so I can be Mash Burnedead for Halloween, hehe.. He's my favorite and it will be my first actual male character cosplay! Just thinking about it makes me happy-- and really excited

𖹭 Made my bed and readjusted it so it isn't falling off the frame.. I never realized how bad it was hanging off the frame But, it's fixed now! It looks all neat and cutesy again ^_^

It was a busy Sunday but it was a pretty great day for me. I am doing new stuff in the store and communicating with customers and coworkers more which is actually quite nice. I always thought everyone at my store never cared for my well being but I learned there are some who do care which makes me feel moved.

It was also beautiful outside, so I got some more exercise in today after work. I was going to draw more, but I think it's best I rest for the night and save that for tomorrow.

I had a great and relaxing weekend, which I needed before going back to work tomorrow. Watched one of my favorite animes and then played some Genshin Impact with some friends. I also won Jane's weapon in Zenless Zone Zero and predicted correctly that I would lose on Xiangli Yao's banner in Wuthering Waves, so now I'm guaranteed for Storekeeper. Football season also started and the Dallas Cowboys thoroughly dominated the Cleveland Browns 33-17 today in their first regular season game. I also had a delicious pasta, garlic bread, and salad for dinner. Hope everyone had a great weekend!

 

[Shellzilla_515]

I wish I could post the stuff that happened in the past week (will try to cover them in a future happy post), but it's getting late over here and I want to cover today since it has been really good for me!

• Temperatures are starting to get chilly and while a few of my coworkers and even my family are not liking the change in temperatures, I'm just over here vibing lol.
• Work was a tad busy, but things went fairly smoothly!
• Feel free to skip this lengthy point. On my way to work this morning, I saw a wild Porsche Cayman GT4 again, this time parked on the side of the road! It may not be the exact same model year like in Gran Turismo 7, but still hehehe. This next car is the one I haven't seen in almost three years which is a Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 Track! I did see other variations of it, but had a 2.0L turbocharged engine instead and/or didn't have a rear wing like the one I saw in person. The third one is a Porsche Taycan which I will never ever get tired of being amused of seeing. Even got to hear the whirring spaceship noise which cracked me up even more. Lastly, there's one more car which was being fixed up. Helping one of my coworkers, it was a Toyota Prius C, but is called the Aqua in Japan! As you could tell, even this regular hybrid car appears in Gran Turismo 7 bearing the latter name. I even looked around in the interior so I can compare it in-game eventually for the similarities. I don't have the game booted up right now, but I will provide in-game pics of these aforementioned cars lol.
• Not long after I got home from work, my mother cooked some delicious food for dinner. It was chicken fritters with aioli sauce and needless to say, I absolutely loved it. It was also her first time cooking it, so she did a great job! Oh, she also baked some brownies which she thought was a failure due to them being too dry, but I personally didn't find them to be bad. In fact, I still liked the brownies and didn't impact my enjoyment savouring them.
• I made a bit of progress on a drawing for canvas crossing. It warmed my heart hearing that everyone who participated in the Wonderous Wardrobe activity will get at least one drawing of their representative.

Spoiler: I saved this point for last and it's quite lengthy

@/Roxxy sent me a message on discord earlier in the day telling me that... My entry for Magnificent Memories got nominated?!? I couldn't believe it at first and had to take a look for myself to be sure. Not expecting a nomination in the first place, it's already a huge win for me because I really poured my heart out (and challenged my art skills) for my entry regardless of outcome and that I'm basically standing alongside with other people on here who are very talented! It took me a couple of weeks from start to finish making the drawing while juggling with exams in my final semester of college and returning to full time at my job at the same time. Thank goodness I started well in advance back then or I likely wouldn't have completed it before the deadline in the first place!

It makes me happy to see Blue, Poliwag, Galaxolotl, Squirtle, Sterling, Pag-asa, Tazan, and Kylie & Kodie all vibing together in a single drawing. They hold a lot of memories for me participating in team events (2021 TBTWC, 2021 Camp TBT, 2023 Space Camp TBT, and 2024 TBTWC), other forum events (2022 Celebrating Diversity, 2022 TBT Fair, and Farewell To New Leaf), and of course, my friends! Now the hardest part is choosing who to vote for. All entries look so good and all of them have their unique ways of how they were executed! If only I can vote for all entries. I'm sure it wasn't an easy task for the staff.

 

[.: Meri :.]

☾ Saw the newest episode of One Piece this morning (and am so hyped/scared for next week… there is A Lot going on) and another episode of Haikyu!! Also got to see GeminiTay’s latest Hermitcraft video with my parents as well!

☾ Absolutely beyond thrilled to see that I got a couple of contest nominations and also very excited to see some of my favorite entries for those events get nominated as well!! ;w;

☾ I played Pokémon X a ton today! Got my seventh gym badge, found some more clothes that I’m super duper happy with, and made a bunch of story progress!

☾ And I got to play in both of the Among Us sessions today!! These sessions are seriously so much fun and I love getting to play with everyone (even if y'all keep trying to eat/take custody of my bread doge smh), and I’ve nearly completed the Feast Cosmicube and am making really great progress in the Fungle Cosmicube too!

The weather has been great the past few days, nice cool Autumnal temperatures. Some of the leaves on some trees are in the early stages of changing coloration, and a few have actually already completed the change. Unfortunately the pleasant Autumnal temperatures are due to change this week as we return to the 80s get out of here, Summer, no one wants you here anymore, but it has been nice while it lasted. Hopefully the cooler temperatures will return ASAP and stick around after this week. We'll see.

Also, I had my first Pumpkin Spice Latte of the season today. Delightful.
