i've been sick with covid for the past week (and also everyone in my house lol), and soooo many lovely folks have pitched in to drop off food and otherwise take care of us. even folks who were mostly acquaintances, but happened to follow me on social media or something. and like made food and brought it over? okay y'all.
it's also been nice to be back on the forum for the first time in many years. i am always thrilled to pop back in and see this site is still alive and i can get bells and items like i always did.

Happy today because I slept for 12+ hours on my new mattress and it felt SUPER comfortable, I don't think I've ever slept that well in my life, lol. Looking forward to playing some video games today on my day off and taking care of some tasks. Also! I found out from reading an article yesterday that Mikko Rantanen, who was previously on the Colorado Avalanche and Carolina Hurricanes, is coming to the Dallas Stars hockey team via a trade! I'm personally REALLY excited about this because he's going to end up making our team that much deadlier. I feel like we have a legitimate chance at winning the cup this year now. Also it's funny because several months ago when they were discussing where he might end up, I was really hoping and thinking that it would be Dallas, so I'm ecstatic that that came true. Speaking of the Stars, they start a road trip tonight against the Edmonton Oilers, going for their 5th win in a row. Hope everyone has a great Saturday! 
Double date today. We went to an aquarium. 
And, me being me, I was craving fish after so stopped at a chippy when I was back in the city to pick up a fish supper. I only eat this once or twice a year but hey cravings are cravings.
Currently watching Star Trek: Voyager with my partner.

Had a lovely Saturday~
Went to the local Saturday Market, and bought myself. Chocolate crepe, a German hotdogs and a pink lemonade with berries~☆
Been organising my laptop folders and making note of my animal crossing new leaf town!
Haven't done too much else today but feeling great today in new clothes I've been meaning to try out.
Might go play some animal crossing too! And check my switch images

Things have been rocky, but a few highlights:
3/2/2025 - 3/6/2025
3/2/2025 - 3/6/2025
- I got some McDonald's as an early birthday gift and tried out the Shamrock Oreo McFlurry for the first time. I didn't expect it to taste minty, but I don't mind.
- My art class started a painting project around January, but we had to pause it for a while so we could practice some techniques. We finally returned to the project after a while, and I'm actually having fun with it!
- March 6 was my 17th birthday! I ate some cake I got for myself and several people commented on my profile wishing me a happy birthday. And my partner @ZeldaCrossing64 gifted me a Tasty Cake collectible and sent me some words of encouragement! Thank you to those who took the time to interact with me!
As you can see, I'm a huge sucker for anything cookies 'n cream.
- Later I did a few doodles on my sketchbook and had fun drawing Ogerpon and Pecharunt (from Pokémon) together. I posted them already in the Sketchbook thread, but when I have time later I'll also upload them to my art thread.
- We went out to a mall where there was a restaurant that served ramen. Even though I ate instant ramen before, this was my first time trying out the real deal. It was so good!
They taste better than water, no need to ask why! (but I gotta be honest, I got thirsty from eating the noodles so I had to drink some water, lol)
- For the first time in a while, I got to visit Barnes and Noble! I found some pretty interesting things there (mostly those that made me think of Char my beloved) and bought some nice stuff, which you can see in the spoilers below.
I don't know if they intentionally put a Metallica reference on the sign or not, but I love it. They also had a Stardew Valley cookbook; that's definitely the kind of thing my partner would enjoy because Stardew is one of their favorite games and I know cooking is one of their hobbies.
There's also a lot of interesting Dog Man stuff there, not just the books; I came across several board games and card games, a pack of bookmarks you can color in, and stuffed toys of some of the characters. (Unfortunately, I forgot to take a photo of the plushies...)
I also checked out the Pokémon books they had. One of them was this book that covered lots of Pokémon, but only up to Miraidon. I was disappointed when I couldn't find Ogerpon anywhere. :(((( Anyway, I eventually made my purchases, going home with a cute cat bookmark and a copy of For Whom the Ball Rolls. Most of my favorite scenes and quotes are right here in this book, and that's why—as of posting this—I consider it my #1 favorite in the Dog Man series! I think I remember saying earlier (in a separate post?) that it was Mothering Heights, but after some consideration, For Whom the Ball Rolls takes the cake.
- After the trip, I finished the extra cake my family bought for me a few days ago!
I found my old copy of Wild World. I missed this game so much. I had been wanting to play it for months.
It’s been really nice day off. Got to sleep in this morning. Had a nice morning walk with Aurora.
Went to my Nieces Volleyball game this morning and they won. They won the first set 25-8 and the second set 25-16. Went to the store on the way home and found a bird to add to my collection. She is Valentine’s themed and so cute
Here she is with everyone .
Played some NH this afternoon and had a nice evening walk with Aurora. Had so much fun playing among us with everyone.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend .

I had a pretty good day today 
.
I had a nice chat with @Xara ; I loved the pictures of Bonk that she shared with me
. It helped me feel significantly better about some stuff that have been on my mind .
I had so much fun playing Among Us! Today, the game seemed to want me to be either crewmate or phantom lol.
I was able to get my space cat after tonight’s sessions. My connection was good tonight *knocks on wood;* hoping it will be good next session so i can enjoy my space cat and new costumes .
I just caught Jewels grabbing something from my mom’s plants and she took off with it, with her belly jiggling a bit. It was funny even though my mom wasn’t amused
. Silly girl. I wish I had took a picture but it happened too fast.
That’s it for now

☾ I got another achievement in Minecraft, and spent the rest of my play session steadily grinding towards the achievement for getting 1000 emeralds from villager trades 
I’ve traded with villagers before and might have in previous worlds too, and I know it counts progress across saves, so… hopefully I’m closer than it looks like I am LOL
☾ I finished the gardening event in Pocket Camp Complete!!
☾ I dyed my hair!! The color didn’t take quite as well as I’d hoped with this brand either rip, but it’s still turned out quite nice! It’s a very dark teal color, and relatively subtle like I was hoping it’d be!
☾ Made a little bit of progress on a personal art piece!!
☾ And I had a blast playing Among Us tonight!! ;w; Would've loved to play longer tbh but spring forward is already upon us... RIP my sleep schedule

Really happy about a few things today!
Hope you guys are getting the rest you need because some of us have to deal with moving clocks one hour forward overnight.
- The weather was sunny (and cold) for pretty much the entire day.
- I finished work really early today since I worked so many hours for the week. Because of this, I had ample time to do other things!
- I ended up going for a walk that lasted for almost an hour since I really wanted to soak in the sunshine as much as possible. It's a small thing, but I felt like I was living life breaking the routine slightly.
- During my walk, I saw a cat looking out from the window when it looked at me. Oh my gosh it was so volumetric (and looked grumpy, but was probably tired lol).
Eventually, I spotted a blue merle Shetland Sheepdog! - Feel free to skip this point. I initially spotted this car back in 2021, but I'm really happy to see a Peugeot 106 S16 again in the latter stages of my walk! To this day, it's still the only Peugeot out of the 263 cars in my huge identified cars list.
I'm so, so happy that I managed to get a picture of the 106 S16. It's seen better days with the paint peeling off and one of its fog lights missing. French cars in general are really hard to come by here, so this is an absolute win for me regardless of its condition lol.
Debuted in: Gran Turismo 4
Unfortunately, this is one of the many cars in the series that has never returned to be remastered in today's graphics.

- I went to the mall for a while and looked around.
- I relaxed for the rest of the day at home. Eventually played Among Us as per usual later in the evening. I heard a few people got the imposter role up to three times while I didn't get to be one at all. Phew! Overall, there were a bunch of funny moments that got me giggling.

good ! yesterday I went to a clothes swap - I managed to get rid of some clothes I hadn't worn in ages, by the time I dropped them off and came back they were gone so I'm hoping I made someone happy! I picked up a nice shirt for myself!
Also they had print making hosted by a really lovely woman - she had made all the prints herself and helped us put them on old t-shirts we had taken in

@Disneyfangirl23 I’m glad you like it! Thank you for your requests throughout my thread they’ve been super helpful for getting me to draw different things!
So my happy list for today:
So my happy list for today:
- I woke up feeling really good today!
- I managed to get myself through the dissociation I was experiencing yesterday. It sucked but I got through it with some DBT exercises. My therapist and I are gonna do more EMDR when I see her next.
- I got a deal on Apple Music today so I got 3 months for one price of $10.99 now I have lots of stuff to listen to. Enjoying listening to the Demon Slayer soundtrack again.
- I’m enjoying a coffee right now and some music on this early morning
️ - I feel excited for my violin lesson next Saturday!
- I got some buldak stir fry ramen. I got the super spicy x2 kind. They’re so spicy but they’re so good at the same time. Like they’re overwhelmingly spicy but yet I’m craving having more of them. Thankfully I got 2 five packs of them and I’ve only had one so far. Probably gonna have one today for lunch
- My sweet 84 year old neighbor gave me some dresses which are all so cute so I’m excited to try those this summer. She’s the one I adopted Papi from. He’s doing well by the way. He’s such a sweetheart
Mustachio is doing well as usual too. She laid on my chest last night and purred , it was really calming. Cats are the best - I’ve been drawing and painting more which is nice. I have an actual desk set up specifically for art in my apartment now so I have dedicated space just for art. I’ve really been enjoying it
Saturday is usually a recovery day for me, but I went out yesterday, so I thought I'd be dead today. When I checked my heart monitor this morning it actually told me I was doing better than normal, so of course I had to take advantage of an expectedly good health day!
I got through the majority of my admittedly over-ambitious chore list. I did some cleaning, animal maintenance, and got some cooking done. I baked a loaf of cheddar & sundried tomato bread, made a slow-cook lamb rogan josh (curry), and prepped ingredients for a sausage casserole to chuck in the slow cooker before I go to work tomorrow.
My partner didn't want to watch the next two episodes of Star Trek: Voyager because they're time travel episodes set in 1996. I'm not a fan of these types of episodes either in sci-fi as I prefer spaceship-based content to stuff based on Earth, but she's seen this show before and I haven't, so I watched them while she was out training today (she volunteers as a host at IRL events). They were actually so good! I'm glad I didn't outright skip them as she wanted to - especially as a new technology was discovered that I'm sure will influence future episodes (probably not a spoiler given these epsiodes aired 27 years ago but let's censor just to be safe) the holographic Doctor was given a device that allows him to exist outside of sickbay / holodeck.
My partner is due home within an hour and the plan for the evening is cuddling up together on the couch to watch more Voyager. I didn't really want to pause after finishing that two-parter earlier, so very much looking forward to it!
Aaand below is a little pic spam because I love my furry sons and they've been super sweet today.
I love a productive day at home. I'm the primary homemaker and caregiver, in addition to working full-time, so it is absolutely a juggling act. Being disabled makes it a goddamn challenge, but I'm so proud when I'm on top of it.

First thing this morning:
Sebastian joined me while I watched Voyager and contributed by being adorable.
The boys aren't allowed in the kitchen when I cook because they've no awareness of danger (I've a gas stovetop and use extremely sharp knives) . While I was cooking I put Cat TV on to keep them occupied. Delta was so enraptured I let him watch for another half hour after I came back through to the living room.

I reached out to a friend who does photography to see if we can book a session soon for baby. So, excited at the idea of that.
Cleaned the house today which always makes me happy. A bit of a neat freak/germphobe.
Also got some decent sleep lastnight/this morning so that was helpful.

love of my life 💙💜
since I ranted abt what was frustrating me, I want to mention a few things that I'm happy about today
★ I made a breakfast burrito this morning with scrambled eggs, sausage, cheese, and salsa dip, and it was really tasty
thinking about prepping my slow cooker for jambalaya a little later
★ I got to spend some time playing pickleball today, I'm getting better!
also, the people I play with are very supportive and encouraging 
★ speaking of playing sports, I'm gonna go home and take a shower. I think that'll help me feel better
★ I got a French vanilla mocha cappuccino for myself and my mum, and it was good hehe
★ this is kinda random, but I have a little Canada flag stuck in the vent of my car along with my pride flag, and I love seeing it wave. makes me feel very happy
★ today I went out to get a few things, and along with buying a bunch of fruits and veggies, I also bought some Sanrio merch! I found a shirt that has a few characters (Hello Kitty, My Melody, Pompompurin, Keroppi, etc) sitting on a rainbow, and I also found a Kuromi necklace which I really love
★ I'm gonna spend the evening taking notes for my class and also writing in my journal. I pray that I'm able to focus on it.
I really need to try to relax, and stay positive too. sometimes I just need to give myself a bit of space to rant, and then I'm okay.
