What Are You Happy About Today?

[Princess Mipha]

It's not a lot, but I removed some weed from my entrance door. It annoyed me, fiancé wanted to remove it, but of course it was raining the whole time he was there and that's not motivating to go outside and do gardenwork xD

Anyways I did it now! My baby kicked me for working in 35°C, but it had to be done. It looks like a real entrance now

Since I'm off work today I decided I'll be working on the next chapter to my fanfic~ *link to it in my sig, in case anyone would be interested* I woke up in a creative mood today for some reason ^^

Writing always makes me happy. It gives me something to focus on, and it's a lot of fun and a great way to relief the stress/anxiety of daily life. I think that next to art, writing what you like is a fantastic way of expressing yourself.

I’m excited to watch the expansion draft tonight. Being off from work, I was able to watch my favorite show last night. I also have tonight free, so I’ll be able to watch the NHL Seattle Expansion Draft. I also received my pay from work and it’s the most I’ve ever received from this job. It’s going straight to
to my savings to build interest.

Context: I had my full upper extractions and dental implants on June 23rd. I wasn’t expecting to have both done on the same day as most people need time to heal, but everything is going amazing.

I can pretty much eat anything I used to, except I don’t chew gum anymore. I’m really happy with the results, especially if anyone has seen my old teeth, it was a long time coming. It had to be done, and I’m happy I was able to move forward.

Apparently it's going to rain this weekend (with possible thunderstorms) and no summer heat returning for the foreseeable either, which makes me very happy indeed.

I started a new ACNH island today. I found a map with everything I was looking for and it only took 2 hours. I was expecting it to take days with how specific my criteria was. Orange airport for the cosy autumn vibes, apples or cherries (got cherries) RS a fair distance from the airport, secret beach not in the centre, at least one big rock with a tide pool... fussy, I know But I'm excited to play AC again for the first time in weeks so it was totally worth it

Not today but yesterday was my mother in law's birthday and we went to their new cabin to celebrate. she and my father in law have been through some rough times lately so they both really deserved this. There was cake but I'm a weirdo who doesn't like 99% of cakes so I ate bread and salad instead. My sister in law showed me her new knife and my FIL found an axe randomly in the little shed that comes with the property, he was so excited! I swear we're not serial killers

I live in the part of Germany that got flooded last week. The town where my in laws live was hit badly and my SIL wanted to donate food and supplies to the victims but when she arrived they already had more than they could ever need because people have been so generous. Due to some horrible past experiences I tend to think the worst of people, but this was a reminder that actually most people are good, and I could be kinder myself.

I’m happy because I woke up feeling much better after having a particularly bad panic attack last night.

I’m having a white chocolate caramel cappuccino right now and am going to spend some time reading

I bought this beauty today ♡

that’s awesome about the dental implants, I’m glad you’re happy with them My teeth are in really bad shape for a few different reasons. I wish I could afford to get implants. Maybe someday. in the meantime I need to get a cleaning and exam and see what else I have to get done (root canals,fillings). It’s my own fault, I struggled with mental health and taking care of my teeth was hard for me for a long time, and also bulimia caused a lot of damage. But I’m trying to do better now

My son's custom wheelchair will be ready in about a week and a half! I'm really happy for him to finally get it. It will last him until he's about 5 or 6 years old before he'll need a new one.

I’m really excited for the art commission I’m doing from the draw the user above you thread. I was working on it yesterday and It’s turning out to be much cuter than I anticipated. Although, I have quite a few drawings now that aren’t finished oops. I’m hoping if I work quickly this afternoon I’ll be able to sit and draw and talk with the cool old lady that I’m working for this afternoon, it definitely makes these 10 hour days go by so much faster. I’m also happy that one of my discord friends has returned after being gone for awhile. I understand why they needed to leave for a bit, but I’ve forgotten how much I enjoy talking with them. I also won a coco doll from a giveaway yesterday and I never win those types of things. I really love coco and the color purple so it’s perfect.

For context:
both of my parents are in the hospital with covid and things have been pretty bad. We were told a few days ago that dad might not make it much longer.

the good news:
Dad made a dramatic turn for the better overnight! They were able to unparalyze him and are working on weaning him off of oxygen!
Mom is doing well, too! So things might actually be looking up!

More good news! Dad is responsive and able to answer questions by nodding, so that means there's no brain damage

Mom was able to be off of her oxygen all night, but needed it back this morning. This is still good, though! That means that she's getting closer to breathing on her own

They're both still obviously sick, but the fact that they're not declining is very good
We're not out of the woods yet, so I really hope that they keep improving so they can come home

@Zeppeli That's great news! I know that the issue is a very terrible one, but that they are recovering well is great! I'm glad that your family is doing so well despite this serious and terrible situation.

@Dunquixote Glad that you were able to catch some streams last night that you were looking forward to! I don't know if this really applies to your ear, but I had issues like that before and it was something like an ear infection or something of the sort. I'm sure you already looked into that and it's not the issue, but I figured I would chime in anyway just in case.

I was able to play Smash with a bunch of my friends last night and that was a lot of fun.

Me and my partner have been going for walks each day and it's just been nice to get outside again. Not as exciting as other people's posts but it's the simple things. And we get to see the nice dogs in the dog park.

It might be a cavity on my molar. I am done with the antibiotic I was taking for ear infection and pain is still happening. The doctor didn’t think it was an ear infection but was hard to tell because of some wax; couldn’t take care of the wax that day though or yet because of the pain. I have an appointment on Thursday (dreading it of course but at the same time hopeful it will take care of problem.Thanks still for the input regardless . T

I’m glad you were able to play Smash with some friends .

I don’t have to go to the hematologist ever again!

Went shopping today, bought some things like decorative pots, a proper storage bin for my pouring paints, canvases for pouring paint, mostly just crafty stuff. I also got this thing called cell medium that I think is silicone oil, which will give a cool effect to my paint.

I finally finished the first page of part three, of my comic. After so many redos, I'm happy it's good and I can move onto the next page now

Had a lovely day snuggling with my kittens, and drinking fruit juice. Outside is still so smoky, so I can't really go outside. But it might rain tonight, which I'm really hopeful that it will!

I also got Genji's photo from a treasure hunt ♡ Now all I need is Bruce's photo

Recently purchased several hardcover books to read/re-read~ I haven't done much serious reading in a while, so it feels really good getting back into it! I've been reading The Book Thief by Markus Zusak on-and-off for months; but, a few days ago, I also started reading Dune by Frank Herbert, and I haven't been able to put it down! And I'm really looking forward to all the other books I just got, a few of which I've read fully years ago, one I think I left incomplete (also years ago), and the rest I haven't read at all yet. Now I'm just worried about how I'm gonna pace myself with all these high-priority books, lol...

I joined a VA’s discord last night and I haven’t chatted too much, but so far the people that have responded to me have been really kind. I was really surprised about the warm welcome. I did not see this on another VA’s discord. Then again, I did not give it that much of a chance. I just wish I was better at conversing .

Another night of clocking in additional hours, but I just put on *NSYNC's "Bye Bye Bye" and feel like life has been breathed into me again.
