What Are You Happy About Today?

[Chris]

I'm really drained today. But making the most of it.

I splurged and bought 0.972kg of topside for £18.47. Smelling it cooking - I have no regrets.

• Dinner tonight is roast beef, roast potatoes, and vegetables with gravy.
• Going to use half of it to batch cook beef stroganoff tomorrow.
• My dad has suggested I use the remainder to make a pot of chilli and this seems like a really good shout.

I'm gonna get at least nine servings of food out of one joint of beef, probably a little over that. When I look at it that way, the cost doesn't actually seem so bad!

Due to the tiredness I've had a very quiet day. I think I've needed it. Lots of documentaries.

My boys discovered how to reach the top of the axolotl tank today. Gave me a surprise when I walked in!

I finally grew a blue rose after months trying! Now trying for the green mum.

I was able to get up early do my errands and run to the grocery store and get what I needed before it started raining really hard. I’m happy to be home cozied up in my comfy pants!

• Finished everything I wanted to do today (laundry, vacuum & mop the floors, clean the bathroom & kitchen)
• Went for a nice long walk on the trail with my little ray of sunshine. She's a sleepy l'il bean now
  Spoiler

  
• Found a few new recipe ideas for lunches/dinners
• Found a swimsuit for the summer (my one from last year is too large, and I've been searching for a replacement) and got a few other summer pieces
• I slept well and woke up feeling refreshed
• Enjoyed some iced matcha in the sun
• Brought out my diffuser that I haven't used for a while, and am enjoying the scent of an eucalyptus mist
• I work in the office all week, so I don't usually get to enjoy my home office during the day. I'm happy I can enjoy it on the weekends while the sun washes in!

It’s officially the first full day of my band trip. We played in our festival this afternoon and won gold! I’m so proud of everyone

Today has been really good. My dad surprised me today with some takeout food .

I had a fun Among Us session; got lots of snacks .

I had a nice chat with @Zerous .

I got a unit that I wanted from a free multi pull in a game that I play.

Spoiler

I’m finished all the gardening goals in Pocket camp .

I’m really excited about my ideas for my character I’m drawing; when I finish, I may consider trying to write a fanfiction or at least some scenarios .

I gave both my girls a licky treat and they both were so excited and happy . Durinf Among Us, Jewels kept whining at the birds behind my air conditioner since there is a neat there. She was so cute, just a bit distracting though .

My mood has been good all day .

That’s all for now. May have more later .

I've ordered an air circulator fan for my room and what I got was a humidifier instead. They even took the proof of delivery photo with the humidifier box by my door, like seriously??? I sent it back and requested a replacement. I'm just annoyed because it's gotten very warm today, so having a powerful air circulator fan would be nice. Also this is like the fifth time Amazon has screwed me over on an order. Can they get their act together already?

It came in and they got it right this time. So far I'm loving it! It's so cool and powerful, even with how warm my room is I get a nice chill from it~

What happened yesterday:
- I went shopping with my mom.
- Received a good grade on a group presentation. The topic was a bit challenging, though I'm glad my professor was lenient with our grade.
- Ate some chicken at a restaurant with my mom and sister. I also got some falafel at a next-door Mediterranean restaurant that tasted great, and I especially liked the texture.
- Worked on a few sketches in colored pencil.

What happened today:
- I shopped at a few thrift stores with my mom and aunt. I didn't find anything noteworthy, though I did buy a sketchbook for myself.
- Ate at another restaurant.
- Spent time with the cats.

I've been feeling so rough today. Took a nap 12-2pm and it didn't help much.

Then I treated myself to Taco Bell for dinner to tempt my appetite. It took me an hour to finish it, but a half hour later and I'm now feeling better than I have all day!

I'm in love with these photos I took of Sebastian today. He is starting to look so grown-up. He's 8.5 months now and just look at that glorious tail.

Spoiler: Seb

Going to take it easy this evening. Probably comfort watch an old movie. I'm going to try and find something I loved as a teenager for the nostalgia.

Some space opened up and I was able to make an appointment to take my permit test next week at the dmv :]
I also found this old nikon camera im looking forward to start using

 

[.: Meri :.]

☾ My parents and I watched Hunter x Hunter, Demon Slayer, and Haikyu this morning, along with some short Youtube videos later on!!

☾ Worked on some coloring while watching some old livestream VODs and generally just tried to take it easy ( ´◡` )

☾ And I got to play Among Us tonight!! I couldn’t make it to Friday or Saturday’s sessions, so I’m glad I got to play this weekend ;v;

It’s been a really nice weekend. I got to sleep in yesterday on my day off. Had nice walks with Aurora. Went to the store and got some new flowers for my garden . Not sure where I will plant them yet.

Have been having fun getting back into NH again. I have a few ideas for my island. I updated my journal for my second island. I should really do that more often. Grew a pink and blue rose.

Have had fun playing among us with everyone yesterday and today.

It was a good day at work today just busy. I got a free sub card at work from the assistant deli manager for always helping them get their frozen truck.

Hope everyone had a great weekend and a has a great week ahead.

i am quite tired !!!!!

• went to the art market with @/chere, @/irescien, my sister, and my sister's friend !!
• got brunch at a bakery after the subway ride down into the city and was able to grab some seats in their upstairs lounge area
• headed over to the market after but wowie, i was told that people started lining up at 9AM when the doors didn't even open until 12PM! (i think it was 11AM for vips but still :0!!) we waited two hours in line before being able to get in
• super glad that i was able to get a bunny plush that our high school classmate sold (੭˃ᴗ˂)੭ it was really nice seeing her heh
• i got a few art prints for myself, an art print for my cousin as a holiday gift, some stickers for my other cousin & sister, my sister was able to get a sticker sheet for my cousin too
• i loved grabbing all the business cards i possibly can and getting freebies in my purchases because then i can update my sticker book! i should really get another book for all the business cards that i've collected since they're just all dumped into a plastic bag
• @/irescien also gave me my birthday gifts so i opened those up during a little unboxing vc haha
  it was a little cat octopus figure, a large blind box (i managed to get a special recolour one!,) a thrifted bunny figure, and one of those pillows you can heat up :>

> Relative is out of the hospital.
> Haven't been having allergic reactions to something so I wonder if that allergy issue is resolving finally after years.
> Pain has been greatly reduced since it's been warm. Almost completely non existent right now actually.
> Had a trip down memory lane this past weekend and it wasn't a bad trip like it normally is.

I've had an extremely productive day, which is surprising as I didn't get moving until 11am! Caught up on laundry, vacuumed, cleaned my kitchen, and got rid of all the trash around the house. I also cooked four portions of beef stroganoff and have a pot of chilli in the slow cooker just now. Expecting to get 4-6 portions out of that.

My partner text me saying she had a craving for a particular bakery's doughnuts. They tend to sell out fast and once a flavour is gone it is done for the day - they've been closed by 2pm before! So I went along and bought us some to share tonight.

We're also ordering Chinese takeout for dinner.

Spoiler: Treats for later. 🍩

If December 1st, 2020, was the saddest day of my life (the day I lost my mom to cancer), then today is perhaps the happiest. I've had a lot of good things happen in the time since then, such as graduating from university, landing my career job, watching the Texas Rangers win the World Series for the very first time in their 63 year existence, maxing my level in the online games I play, and even watching the Dallas Stars knock Colorado out of the NHL playoffs in back-to-back years.

But perhaps the best news that I just received is that I'm confirmed to be moving into a single-person apartment in September of this year!!! I can't tell you how freeing this has felt for me, as an autistic person and as someone who always wanted this one thing since I was a kid and more than anything else. I struggled time and time again just to get to this point, and never gave up no matter how much I cried, got hurt, made mistakes, or felt trapped. It's so rewarding when you begin to see the fruits of your labors after years and years of waiting. And now that I know I'm going to have my own place finally, I feel like time, which has felt frozen for me for a very long time, is finally starting to move forward again.

I considered waiting to make this post until I actually move in September, but I don't think I'd remember to check this site by then, lol. And this may end up being my last post here ever, so if so I hope everyone here has a great day, week, and remainder of their year! Thank you, TBT, for everything you've done for me and for everyone else here, and stay rockin'!

Today has been okay; it could have been better but wasn’t bad at all.

I had a nice chat with Bugs @xSuperMario64x; thanks so much again for listening . It has been nice to chat with him more lately when I can .

I got this one part of my drawing done that I was not looking forward to doing . I got to do the background, add on some small details, touch up on some colors/shading, finish one part of the right wing and then I should be done for this version of the egg collectible idea.

My dad brought home some chicken samosas for me from the mediterranean shop. They were so delicious!

My dad had work today so he was out of our hair (my mom and I) for most of the day.

That’s it for now .
