What Are You Happy About Today?

[hakutaku]

- Had a nice time today visiting my grandma, it seems it cheered her up a bit as well

- Got a lot of grocery shopping done and bought everything I needed

- Made an absolutely bomb ham and cheese sourdough toastie this evening, and ate it with a packet of Sun Bites, which i haven't had in like 5 years. They're still my favourite crisps.

- Booked the hotel for my trip last night, decided to go with a hotel chain we like and trust haha. It was reasonably priced and in a good location too

- Been slowly decorating my camp for autumn in AC Pocket Camp

• It's been wet, windy and cold outside! I have enjoyed snuggles with Blossom on the sofa looking out at the rain and watching the trees swaying in the wind. She fell asleep twice with me on the sofa, once against my legs and secondly with her chin resting on my leg. Also, had some hot chocolate with marshmallows.
• Got some decorations for my Dad's 70th birthday on Monday, just waiting on a few more through the post. I love decorating for birthdays, want to try and make this one even more special for him than usual, as it's the first one without my Mum.
• I always usually like to try and make something for special occasion birthdays, just finished making a montage of photos and videos of Blossom. Just got to make a menu and put it onto a DVD.

Spoiler: Blossom having a nap on me!

Today began kinda not good but it eventually got better

Fam and I went out to a restaurant where we got free dessert cause the owner and chef said 'I look like a trouble maker' (no idea why). I was in a bad mood still from my parents earlier being dumb so maybe my face emoted that, idk. I find it very hard to control my face and express emotion accurately. But hey free zeppole.

My crystal delivery from Illnois came today! They are even prettier in person. They're crystals I don't see around here like Sardonyx and phosposiderite. They might be *somewhere in my state but they are certainly not at the crystal shops I've been to. The shop owner gave me a bonus Carribean calcite also, one of my top fav stones!

ੈ✩‧₊˚ my best friend and i have made plans to play new horizons together on friday for his birthday!! his birthday is actually on thursday, but he already has plans with his family and will be busy, so friday it is!! we’ve been talking about playing together since new horizons first came out, but the past few years have been rough on us both, so this’ll be our first time i’m nervous to have him over to my island since it’s still barren after i flattened it earlier this year lol, but i’m just excited to spend time with him and finally play with him!! i‘m planning on getting him many gifts and setting up a little party area for him, and i’m working on some art for him as well (which i’ll be giving to him on thursday)! i’m super excited!!

ੈ✩‧₊˚ bonk cuddled with me this afternoon it was just us at home since my parents were out, so it was nice to spend some quiet time with her!! she slept on the chair with me while i worked on some art, and honestly it’s one of the few peaces i have in my life. feeling her against my leg, knowing she’s here and with me and fine puts me at ease

Spoiler: she was so eepy (and dusty)

ੈ✩‧₊˚ i changed my aesthetic on instagram!! i’ve been doing a lot of creative stuff lately, so i figured this would be a good time to update my aesthetic on my socials while i’m motivated to haha

ੈ✩‧₊˚ my parents bought me a couple more cans of my favourite energy drink while i was out! it’s such a simple gesture, but it made me so happy :’) they also bought a couple of boxes of kraft dinner (mac and cheese), which i’ve been craving! i didn’t tell them that i was craving it though, so them buying it was another unexpected lovely surprise!

☾ I finished my ref sheet for my main OC that I've been working on!! ;w; I'm still so happy with how she turned out eeee
☾ Got to see some quick YouTube videos with my parents!
☾ My mom surprised me this evening out of nowhere with a Frogge plush!! He's so cute... I love him... he is the perfect size and shape to give head pats...

Today I'm happy because:

- I visited my mom and got her automated rent payments sorted.
- My mom's cat, Sassy, was very sweet and affectionate with me.
- I got to see and pet several of the feral cats my mom feeds including an adorable little kitten.
- I had an easy workday and I completed all of the tasks I had on my schedule for the day.
- I had a delicious dinner and a mint chocolate chip milkshake for dessert.
- I got to see all of the things that made everyone else happy. I especially love the precious pets.

I always usually like to try and make something for special occasion birthdays, just finished making a montage of photos and videos of Blossom. Just got to make a menu and put it onto a DVD.

Blossom is such a cutie! Sleeping animals are always so adorable.

* I found out from a friend that some footage for Gacha Life 2 dropped these last few days. My favorite was the color slider video. It is so satisfying to watch :,) The detail is a lot better than the preceding gacha games too. I cannot wait to play it in October. :,)
* I had a really good fishing day in New Leaf. I caught multiple coelacanths and sharks. I donated my first coelacanth to the museum. ^_^ * I also caught the salmon I needed. Now I just need the king salmon. ^__^
* Caught what is probably my very first house centipede in New Leaf. Not just in this town, but ever in general. :,)
* Poofesure released another Papa Louie video. My favorite part was when he got mad and angerly imitated the little jingle that plays when you get 70-79 (a little more if they are a star customer) points. I kept dying of laughter. XDDDDD

Yesterday: one of the helpers at my workplace gave me a Pikachu keyring that they won from a machine

Today: I’m getting my copy of Pokemon Scarlet! I’m so excited to play it

 

[KittenNoir]

I had a very very long day but now its time to relax:

• I have fresh new bed sheets on
• I have a cup of tea
• I have my cat cuddled next to me
• A new pack of Tim Tams ready to be eaten haha
• Catching up on my shows

For non Australians Tim Tams look like this: They come in other flavours too

 

[Autumn247]

• I've been enjoying my job so far, September 30th I'll have been there a month
• I'm going to use my employee discount to start buying clothes at my job, so I'm gonna rebuild my wardrobe since most of my clothes are really old, worn out or don't fit properly. There's a lot of cute stuff there
• I made pillsbury crossiants this morning and am having them with coffee
• My boyfriend and I started playing magic the gathering, so we're having fun with that!
• I went to the movie theater on Saturday and saw the Nun 2 with my friend, perfect way to start the fall/spooky season
• I bought a keurig! Love it so much

 

[Corrie]

I finally posted chapter 1 of a fic I've been working on since 2021! It's not finished, but I'm in a good place to be able to post it and work on the rest as I post chapters. It's my first longfic!

 

[hakutaku]

- Ordered some clothes today. I lost my white t-shirt and shrunk my grey wool cable knit jumper by accident, so just replacing them really. I needed them in time for winter!

- Defrosted a homemade scone and had it with some chai tea and blackcurrant jam. V nice!

• I left Blossie in the car for literally 20 seconds, I could still see her, I just went back inside for my bag and guess what? She managed to set the car alarm off! Poor Blossie didn't know what was happening! Luckily, I switched the alarm off quickly and she seemed ok. It made me laugh.
• I'm sure most of you know this already, but I need to say again how much of a sweetheart @S.J. is, after reading a post I made in the 'What's Bothering You?' thread earlier, SJ sent me as always a lovely message and it really settled me. Thank you again, SJ! You are an amazing friend!

MY KENOUGH HOODIE CAME IN!!!! tagging @Xara since you dropped me the link to buy it and OH MY GOOOOSH IT'S WAAAARM

 

[-Apples-]

I went shopping at Hobby Lobby and ate at Cracker Barrel. The service was good, and so was the food.

 

[Midoriya]

- After it rained yesterday, the sun came out today along with some clouds still present, and the temperature and weather today has been lovely.

- I managed to get Fu Xuan in Honkai: Star Rail! I also got her Light Cone on my first try, which was appreciated. Now I've started building her and Lynx for a full Quantum team.

- The Texas Rangers snapped their losing streak yesterday with a 6-4 win over the Boston Red Sox, and won the series today in emphatic fashion 15-5! They're still a half game back of the Astros for the division lead, and still a good amount of baseball to be played...

- I let my kitty into my room and loved on her.

- I've been getting better sleep recently and I feel a lot better because of it.

Spoiler: 🍑

i will probably never be able to say this again xnjcbhdbc, but my streak of coming in 4th place is over this is the first time i’ve ever won, so i’m a little prouder of myself than i probably should be LOL. i was so sure that bug was gonna win!!

ੈ✩‧₊˚ before the game started, Mairmalade showed me a pic of an axolotl plush that they saw!! it was so blue, and so, so adorable i can’t tell ya’ll how much joy it brings me that i’m the first thing some people think of when they see something axolotl-related!!!

★ I finally got in to see the dermatologist today!! he said that the face wash and moisturizer I'm using are great, and he prescribed me a few things to help with smoothing out some bumpy skin and also spot-treating any acne that shows up randomly. I've been needing to do this for a long time, so I'm very happy I'm taking the steps to get it taken care of

★ my mom gave me some money to help financially support me for my upcoming trip

★ I've finished two different commissions in the last two days and I'm so happy with how both of them turned out!! I'm especially proud of myself for getting back into traditional art a bit, it's trickier than digital art but it's honestly so rewarding. now I have one last commission I'm starting before I leave, and I have a few other really great drawing ideas!

★ I got to play Mario Party Superstars with @/Mairmalade, @/Xara, and @/Hanami today! it was great fun, I had to avenge xara for a few injustices, I may or may not have bullied mar a little bit (sorry mar skdjfks), and I actually did really well during this game! I ended up not winning though, because the absolute QUEEN xara came in clutch at the very end!!
playing Mario Party never fails to brighten my day, it's so hilarious and chaotic. I live for it tbh


I had a pretty productive day, and now I can spend the evening just chillin and journaling and playing Luigi's Mansion hehe

☾ Made it to Legendary Miner in Fantasy Life!! Also completed a handful more quests that I've had sitting around for a while.
☾ I watched some YouTube videos with my family, and we got to see the second half of GoodTimesWithScar's Decked Out movie!! This was the first time I've seen a Minecraft Jellie neck pillow and oh my god it was the cutest thing ;w;
☾ Nothing serious or anything, but there's just a lot that's going on over the course of the next few days and I've been feeling kinda overwhelmed, but I was able to bury myself in some project stuff today and it made for a really good distraction.
