What Are You Happy About Today?

I uploaded my egg decorating entry~
I took a few photos, but the lighting still ain't right. Oh well~

Just realised, I get to villager hunt for another villager since Kyle is leaving! Should check that I have enough nook mile tickets.
Work is short tomorrow, and since kids are off, it's been deathly quiet.
 
Today started a bit rough but all is better now since the banner in Genshin that I was waiting for just arrived and I got everything that I wanted and more 🥳 ]Took most of my primogems and all the fate but was so worth it.

Fingers crossed that Zhongli & Wriothesley doesn’t have a rerun soon 🤞 since I need them both and their weapons; on the plus side, one day when I was telling her about the game my mom did say i could buy some itunes cards if I ever wanted to use them on the game. But I rather not spend any real money if I can help it. I used to spend a lot of money when I still had a job and I’m trying to be more responsible with money.

Both my kitties are in my room and Jewels is not knocking stuff over on my shelves ☺️(she will be later though 😭) 😅😹. Just having my kitties near me is helping ease my anxiety and depression; I love them so much 🥰. They both say hi to everyone here 😺.

Grumpy Jewels; it’s been awhile since I took a picture of her in her hattie. Being in TBT spirits, I had to take another one of her Tom Nook hat 😸.

I got my galaxy egg today! 🥳 I didn’t have enough eggs for my stardust; a bit of a bummer but I’m really happy with just the galaxy one. I thought that one would always be out of my reach. Now to decide what to get with my last eggs 🙂.

I’m happy I got to chat more than I usually do with people from here. 🙂 I’m terrible at chatting but it was still fun!
 
Managed to get a few spring sakuras in the restock!! I was waiting for them and I’m so happy I caught the restock ☺️

Spent the day cleaning my acnl town with my boyfriend again! He literally has no idea what to do so I’ve gotta explain everything 😭

Fixed up my bed with all my Sanrio squishmallows and I love it so much 😋 I’ve got my cinnamoroll blanket all washed and cleaned and it’s super comfy
 
I’m mostly caught up with the English One Piece manga releases again!! I say almost because I think another volume has come out since the last one I got, oops

We got home before the April Fool’s event ended, so I got to participate a teensy bit more after all! ;v;

Speaking of, I may have gone back to my normal aesthetic, but I got too attached to the stamp nostalgia to let them go entirely. So now I have an aesthetic-y row on my profile now hehe and a ton more saved aklfjlfsdjfkl
 
this is FINALLY over, just gotta get some bad stuff out of the way to get the good stuff going.

i finally found my biological dad after searching and doing DNA testing, so i was relieved to finally have a good lead. a now known cousin tested and confirmed it pretty easily. i never wanted a relationship with my "dad" to begin with, and the universe said "lol, lmao even" because guess what? i can't have a relationship with him even if i wanted to! he's in prison! for life! for violent crimes!!!!!!!! wow!!!!!!!!!!

getting THAT out of the way, the actual HAPPY STUFF: i found 12 siblings and 30+ cousins. turns out biodad got around a lot, and of the few people i've talked to so far, they're all EXTREMELY nice. most of which aren't from my area, they're from texas or mexico (figures) but it's still really cool to find them?
they said they're totally willing to give me more info on our native ancestry, info on our family and teach me more about mexican culture since i was never exposed to it growing up. THAT is that i'm happy about, i REALLY want something i can "belong" to and this is a good opportunity. so. YIPPEEEE!!!!!!!!
 
Someone that I follow posted a new video on YouTube yesterday so I watched it today and they talked about the next video they’re gonna do so I’m really excited for that one :D

Someone came to pick up some items that I was selling and she payed me

Mum gave me some pocket money today for helping her out

I worked a bit on my Island on acnh today
 
The past week has been crazy busy and exhausting. So many things to be happy about. Aurora had her check up last week and that went well. She is due for her teeth cleaning and we set that up for when we get back from vacation.
So excited to start vacation in ten days. It’s great that we can take Aurora with us.
Had a really nice Easter. Went to sunrise service at church and then to the pancake breakfast. Me and my mom went to the sand festival in the afternoon and had a great time.

I was able to get some Spring Sakura after first thinking I had missed out. Thankfully someone let me buy one and I was lucky enough to find a few more in a restock . Everyone here is just so kind . 💜
I hope everyone is having a great week.
 
Well, I'm super happy it's spring break 🎉 Secondly, I ordered a new phone, computer, watch, and earbuds for college, and my MacBook and Apple Watch came in! The MacBook is definitely a switch from my Chromebook, but I'm liking the Mac so far! It'll take a minute for me to get used to the different layout and all of the new things, but I'm super excited to use in college. As for my phone and earbuds, they should be delivered before Saturday!!
 
What happened yesterday on 4/2/24:
- I slept well and woke up feeling energized.
- Received some art supplies from someone I met at the gym. He dropped off a set of colored pencils, pastels, drawing paper, and graphite pencils at the house. I didn't bring anything to draw with besides pencils, so I really appreciate his kindness. I'm especially grateful that he offered some pastel paper that helps to layer colors of pastel. Can't wait to make art with them soon.

What happened today on 4/3/24:
- I went to the mall and ate at the food court.
- Played the Happy Home Paradise DLC in New Horizons and designed a vacation resort for Celia 🦅
- Completed a full body workout out at the gym 💪
- Got some acrylic paint at the art section of the store that I look forward to using for the Egg Decorating Contest 🎨
- Saw some cute photos of Luna on the photo album of my phone that are insanely cute 🐱 She looks as if she's posing for a photoshoot while sitting lol.

Hi, my beautiful friends !! I hope you’re all having a nice week so far and that you all had a lovely easter, whether you celebrated or if it was just a regular sunday for you! 🫶🏻

𓆑 I tied for the gold egg in this year’s easter egg hunt??? :’o I’m usually terrible at figuring out the clues on my own and thought I had only found 1 egg first, so this is like… my peak LOL. I’m very happy that my friend won the egg, though!! It’s definitely well-deserved, especially after she tied for it back in 2022!! ☺️🎉 Finding 27/28 eggs, finally getting my aurora egg and earning some bonus eggs is much better than I was expecting to do, and is more than enough for me!

𓆑 Speaking of the egg hunt and finally getting my aurora egg… I FINALLY GOT MY AURORA EGG!!! 😭 The aurora egg has been my second biggest collectible dream after the crescent moon glow wand for over 4 years, and I never, ever thought I’d have one. I don’t think it’s 100% sunk in yet that it’s actually in my lineup lol, but I’m just so happy and grateful! 🥹 2024 crescent moon wand next? 👀 pls

I was planning on trying to trade for a nightmare egg as well, but I think I’ll participate in the egg decorating contest and nab myself a galaxy egg instead! I have a few ideas in mind for my egg, I just have to go to the store to get some supplies and then I can get started!

𓆑 I reached 5 hearts with my first bear in Cozy Grove!!!! I unexpectedly reached 5 hearts with Patrice yesterday, and it was genuinely such a sweet yet simple moment. He didn’t disappear like I thought he would, but he turn gold, and bowed to me in gratitude. 🥹 It was a short, quiet moment, but it still lowkey made me emotional LOL. I also love that he finally explained why he’s had me collecting mail for him all of this time! I’m also close to reaching 5 hearts with a couple of the other bears, earned 3 new badges, and got a gay pride shirt from Darla!!

𓆑 The spring sakura was re-released, and I was finally able to get a row of them!! I sold my old sakura a few months ago since I didn’t feel like trying to get 4 more for a row, and I was struggling to come up with lineup ideas with just 1, so I’m really happy that I’m finally able to have a row of them after all! I was also able to grab a couple for some friends! 🌸

Also, as much as I definitely don’t miss collectible restocks, I have to admit that they are kind of exhilaratingly fun. There’s nothing like that rush you get when you see the collectible you want back in stock and you’re able to nab one!

𓆑 I bought a few Farewell to New Leaf fruits! I was initially happy with my decision to only get balloons, but then I made the mistake of fooling around with lineup ideas with some of the fruits, and I was a goner. 😪 The mango especially was too vibrant and shiny for me to resist any longer!

𓆑 Bonk has blessed me with a couple of cuddles this past week, as well as a few silly photos of her! 🖤

𓆑 I’ve come up with an insane amount of new lineup ideas the past few days omg… I spent about 30 mins this morning just coming up with new ideas, and it was so much fun!! I’m so excited to display them all!

𓆑 The first trailer for Joker: Folie á Deux drops on April 9th! I’m not really a big fan of musicals, but I’m so excited to see Lady Gaga’s adaptation of Harley Quinn!
 
  • I had a great day off. Had my violin lesson today and it was really good. I also managed to successfully change the battery in my laptop myself to a new one. So am thrilled about that :D
  • My new Nexigo 1080p 30 FPS autofucus webcam works really well. I tried it out today during my violin lesson (my lessons are over video call). Fits perfectly on the tripod I recently got
  • So yeah my laptop is good as new. Got a year and a half left of support for windows 10 then I can upgrade to a brand new laptop but I figured I could definitely get more use out of this one which is why I upgraded the ram, changed the battery, got a better camera for it. Next step is to get a good recording microphone so I can record good quality audio of my violin. The year and a half gives me enough time to save money so I can get something really good then like a gaming laptop.
  • I feel pretty good mentally, my anxiety is a lot better now that I'm working again. Weird how that works. Work anxiety is still a thing obviously but my regular daily generalized anxiety and panic attacks are hardly an issue when I'm actively working. Maybe because it's a really physical job. Idk. But I feel like it provides a lot of the same benefits as exercise. Yesterday I got 12,500 steps in just a 4 hour shift.
  • Tomorrow I have another early shift, 7am to 11:45am. Shipments. Which is basically unboxing a ton of clothing that came in on a truck and putting it out. It's easy and it goes by super fast. I'm able to do/am trained to do several things so it can vary what I do day to day. Some days I'm cashiering, some days I'm on the sales floor, some days I'm doing shipments. It's kind of nice because sometimes I might get tired or annoyed with one thing then it changes and I can get a break for a day etc. So the constant varying of what my job entails is nice. But yeah, work is going well. I like the job, I like my coworkwers and the managers. It's the same exact job as my last but an entirely different feel than the last job because the my previous was such a toxic environment/people.
 
Happy today because now that I have learned to keep my save files on my games, I’m starting to save up my tbt for possible artwork later of my characters. I’ve been wanting to save up for that and getting some collectibles that I would like to own someday. This is the most tbt I’ve had in a long time and hope to earn more later, as I’ll definitely be participating in more events. ^-^
