Late post, but I had a fantastic day! I had the day off work and ended up going to the Texas Rangers versus Chicago Cubs Home Opener. It was the first Texas Rangers home game after they won the World Series in 2023 and they ended up winning again tonight on a walk-off 4-3!!!

I'm also happy that the Dallas Stars defeated the Vancouver Canucks 3-1 to extend their winning streak to six games. That was not an easy game either, but they pulled it off!

Spoiler: pictures from the game

• I feel really good and motivated today!
• Have work this afternoon/evening. Looking forward to it. So far I don’t feel the sense of dread I felt with my last job. That was a very toxic environment though with a very toxic assistant manager. So that’s probably why. This place I’m at now seems so much better and more professional and a friendlier environment. Anyway, I’m glad to be working again. Oddly enough the best thing I’ve done for my social anxiety is get a very social job. It wasn’t easy. But avoiding social situations just fed my anxiety and made it worse over the long run. Strangely enough my panic attacks dramatically decrease and sometimes don’t happen for weeks when I’m working , compared to when I’m not working they’re almost daily occurrences. I mean work is always gonna be stressful, especially retail, but it’s benefits outweigh the cons for me and it’s a good way to get better at socializing and feeling less awkward in social situations. Also being around people is good for my mental health. I always considered myself an introvert but I’m starting to think I’m the introverted extroverted combo
• I had a good day off yesterday. Spent time playing with my cats they make me so happy, they’re the sweetest little kitties and I can’t get over how adorable they are. Mocha is settling in well. Mustachios up to her usual antics. She’s 2 years old now but still plays like a kitten, she has soooo much energy lol she’s almost like a dog. She carries and drags her toys to me when she wants to play
• Looking forward to Easter! I’m spending the day with my boyfriend since we both have that day off work.
• I’m getting closer to being able to fully solve a Rubik’s cube!
• Listening to Linkin Park and enjoying some coffee before I do the dishes, take a shower, and get ready for work

Jonas tried to fight me but he got struck by a smooth criminal and I got him in a chokehold

• I managed to get a lot of work done and run a few errands, so been very busy today. However, I am happy to have it finished for the long weekend!
• Blossom has given me three cuddles on the settee today. I wonder if I can get a fourth before bedtime? Edit: I did get a fourth cuddle!
• Played some New Horizons and Wild World very early this morning. Also, played Pocket Camp. I invited Buck to my cabin! I should reach Level 20 before I go to bed! I will have to invite King Buck to my campsite!
• The icing on the cake was I received some Buck art from Mistreil in return for 2 DIYs! I’m using what I call ‘Baby Buck’ at the moment as my profile picture! He’s so cute!

Alas, I'm back once again to recap the past few days from my side. Definitely a lot of stuff to be happy about, though!
March 24, 2024

• I watched the 2024 Formula Australian Grand Prix! One of the highlights for me was that Max Verstappen retired from the race due to brake failure. It felt so good seeing a Red Bull not fighting for the win, blowing the competition wide open. Speaking of which, Carlos Sainz driving for Ferrari ended up winning! Really impressive since he was recovering from a surgery a couple of weeks ago. It was also nice to see Mercedes not scoring any points at all, especially hearing one of them having its engine end itself abruptly which was music to my ears lol.

March 27, 2024

• College was fairly chill. In fact, we played a couple rounds of Kahoot that I had fun in. HMMMM I wonder what it's about?!? Even got a 2nd place finish too!

Spoiler: This is nice

Yes, I nicknamed myself after a car if that wasn't obvious enough lol. Here's what it looks like for those who are curious! Still holding out hope that I'll spot one in person someday.

• I got to disassemble a part of a transmission with my group members. It was a little challenging to put stuff back together, but it was pretty cool seeing components. Sometimes, I wonder how people even come up with the idea to engineer complex stuff in general.

March 28, 2024

• I had no classes during this day, so I used the time to relax and do some things!
• An update dropped for Gran Turismo 7 and added three cars to the game. It's a good selection including the one I never would've expected to actually appear and it's hilarious! It gets a bit lengthy here, so feel free to skip this point.

Spoiler: Cars and me talking about them lol

No, your eyes aren't fooling you. The devs actually added the 2018 Lamborghini Urus to the game. I have a thing or two against huge SUVs, but I don't really mind them in video games at all because you can try to compete against cars that are more sportier and humiliate them lol (see the 2011 Volkswagen Touareg from The Crew 2). I actually added this car to my identified cars list all the way back in 2022 when I saw it for the first time while driving on the highway, so it's become one of the three cars in the entire list (at the time of posting this) that I mentioned before eventually getting added to the series along with the Honda Civic Type R (FK8) and the Chevrolet Corvette C8!

Here's the kicker, though: it shares a lot of parts with Audi (more specifically the Audi RS Q8), even down to its engine. This is because both Audi and Lamborghini are owned by Volkswagen. Basically, it's just a glorified Audi with a Lamborghini badge slapped onto it, but I don't mind it at all because I can have fun driving it in a video game lol.

Speaking of Audis, one got added to the game as well: The 2016 Audi R8 Coupe V10 Plus! I've actually seen this car at least a couple of times last year, but I didn't add it to my identified cars list because I thought the devs would never add the second gen R8 to the series. Because of this, I'll challenge myself to try and spot one this year. If I do, I WILL let you guys know.

Here's the third addition to the game, and it's a returning veteran to the series. I present to you a 1999 Toyota GT-One (TS020)! This brought back memories of me playing Gran Turismo 3 years ago as I occasionally see this car driven by an opponent of course, driving it myself. I'm so glad that it's back in high quality detail and sounding amazing too. Just think of seeing your old friend again after a very long time.

And here's what it looks like in Gran Turismo 3 when it was released back in 2001 (ugh, I'm feeling old lol). It may not have sounded accurate in that game compared to the real thing, but it's got a distinct noise that gives it character.

• I got to hang out with my coworkers in the evening and chatted with them a lot. I don't want to give out more specific details, but it made me so happy on the inside hearing that all of us including my supervisor and my manager are on the same page. I even opened up to them too which isn't something I do very often aside from my manager and supervisor. Reflecting on myself, I feel like I got really lucky to be working with these people despite a few issues considering the industry I'm heading into. Just... Wow. I genuinely felt happy from that.

March 29, 2024

• It's Good Friday, so it's another day where I get to relax at home. Despite not getting enough sleep last night, I was feeling pretty good!
• My mom made spaghetti for breakfast hehehe.
• I played Gran Turismo 7 continuing to mess around with the silly Lamborghini Urus. You can make it spit out flames with anti-lag installed and it's hilarious.
• I got a bit of college work done! It always feels nice getting some weight off of my shoulders.
• I ended up napping for at least a couple of hours, but that's okay. I should be doing it more often when I need to catch up on some sleep.
• My mom made Tuscan chicken and cassava cake for dinner!
• A couple of days ago, I spent the rest of my silver to buy a few more balloons with colours given at random. For one, I got a blue bunny balloon and a blue heart balloon! Really amazing since it's my favourite colour. To top it off, I got a sweet balloon in the end! Luck has been on my side this time around. I mentioned this to @/xSuperMario64x and he said I got a trans balloon hehe.
• I'm simultaneously excited and terrified for this year's egg hunt! I still haven't recovered from egg #6 from a couple of years ago. If you know, you know.

 

[.: Meri :.]

☾ WE GOT THE EGG RE-RUN OF MY DREAMS AAAAA!!! The Galaxy Egg, Aurora Egg, and Zen Egg all finally feel within my reach... I’m so happy... ;w; Also in love with the Golden Egg’s revamped design!! I’m gonna have to make sure to show mine off more often aaaa

☾ I got to finish one of the chibi drawings I started yesterday!!

☾ My parents and I watched LDShadowLady’s new Minecraft SOS episode this evening!

☾ I almost didn’t check ACNH tonight, but I’m so glad I did because Celeste?? Finally appeared on my island again??? And she gave me the moon DIY???

- Woke up early and was productive at work. Finished everything I needed to for the week (I also got paid).

- Went to the gym afterwards and did some cardio.

- Came back home and fed my kitties and gave them fresh water.

- Played some Honkai: Star Rail and was finally satisfied enough with my Acheron build to start working on the newest story. Very interesting happenings this time!

- The Dallas MAVERICKS defeated the Sacramento Kings in Sacramento AGAIN, this time 107-103!! That extends their winning streak to six games. Both the Stars and Mavericks have six game winning streaks going for them, and the Rangers won Opening Day. Hell yeah!

My trip is in less than 48 hours now! Weather surrounding the eclipse is looking a bit concerning, but luckily I set aside extra money for this trip which I was able to put toward booking a fully-refundable contingency plan in the event the weather decides not to cooperate at my primary viewing location. I hope I don't have to follow through on said plan, but at the same time it would be another opportunity to fly again! In the meantime, in less than two days I'm going to be back on board my home away from home, on Amtrak heading from Los Angeles to Dallas over two days and nights and I can't wait!

I've been finding it difficult to do my uni work for the past month (partially because of chronic pain, partially because of a hyperfixation that became debilitating), but today I've finished one of the parts I've been needing to catch up on!

Now I'm feeling more confident that I'll be able to get on top of things again.

 

[Kamex]

- I went to the gym and got a solid workout. Did some more reps than usual for my dumbbell workouts and felt more pumped
- Played Pokémon Scarlet and caught Latios.
- Ate a chocolate muffin for dessert.
- Finished a 10 Day Drawing Challenge on an art community. They were just exercises, though I might use some of the reference photos to draw something cool and post here.
- Chatted with my mom and she took a screenshot of me with some filters I played around with on FB Messenger.

Spoiler: Me

 

[Stalfie]

Mans walking around the city in his pants and a fake ankle tag and his boyfriend who was even smaller than me shouted at me for laughing and said I am from an anthill bro LOL LOOK AT YOURSELF YOUR BARELY BIGGER THAN AN ANT but I told him to calm down and find his boyfriends trousers for him and that it will all be ok and he went away and it made me happy cos papa always says ALL MOUTH AND NO TROUSERS and I was happy I could tell him this ahahahahahahahahahahaha

I’m doing okay today ; a bit better than I’ve been the last few days. The Easter Egg Hunt is helping me distract myself. Still feeling very depressed overall but I’m having a lot of fun with the egg hunt even though the struggle is real . It’s nice though to browse around the site for possible answers after being gone so long from here . Really excited about the eggs available for us to get this year! It was tough to pick which basket I’d wanted to select from since both had plenty of eggs that I want.

It’s getting closer to Neuvillette’s rerun banner in Genshin . I’m thinking of pulling for his weapon too; I’m hoping I’ll get lucky and get both him and his weapon with as few pulls needed as possible so I can start saving for my other favorite guys .

I should be getting that namecard that I want today in Genshin; the one that is rewarded for completing all the TCG achievements. I need about 2k more coins until I finish the last achievement . Neuvillette’s card and the deck I’m using helped me beat a lot of the npc decks that I was having trouble beating before .

Jewels is sleeping on my bed and I brought Spanky upstairs; she jumped in the coffee cup tower for a minute before jumping back out and licking my arm . I don’t know what I’d do without my kitties .

 

[Giddy]

I did a bit of fanfiction and video editing today~ not much, but with a lil bit of Japanese lofi; kept me a lil more motivated and focus~
Plan to do more tomorrow, and finish my DIY, only need to do a lil umbrella.
Might do a bit more writing tonight~

 

[Autumn247]

@Dunquixote omg a coffee cup tower??? I need one for my cats!!! That is so adorable!

So for today:

• I had a good shift at work
• I ran into my supervisor from my last job riding the bus home tonight from work, we were both getting off work at the same time since my new job is in the same plaza. She's happy I found something better and less stressful for me. She said to pop in there (the store I used to work) whenever I feel like it they'd always be happy to see me. Which makes me feel better, it makes me feel like I have some closure with that job now. Anyway, yeah she was always my favorite, the only person I really talked to much there. She was always kind to me. It was good to see her. She said a ton of people have left there.

I took my dog to see the Easter bunny lol. After that, we went to the park. It was a big, happy day for him.

I got it from Happy & Polly! I can dm you the link for you if you’d like to look at it . It was really pricey though. I also got the ramen bed that Spanky sleeps in from there . Their products are all pretty pricey but the quality so far has been really good.

I’m glad you had a good day!
