What Are You Happy About Today?

[DinosaurDumpster]

found my sister's old ipod nano from 2009, so i stole it (she doesn't use it anymore so it doesn't matter)
it's still functioning like it's brand-new, but there are some tiny scratches from sitting in drawers and boxes from the past 10-12ish years or so, as well as a beaten-up charger, but i don't care, they both still function really well.

now i just need to buy my favorite soundtracks and albums from the 2000's and early 2010's on a cd and i'll truly be stuck in 2008 where i belong.

The new theme made my day <3

 

[Croconaw]

I’ve actually come to terms with how much I’ve been working lately, but it isn’t actually tiring or stressful. I know stressful jobs. I’ve worked at a warehouse before, and those are draining… My job doesn’t require much work so it’s not straining and it pays well for what it is, so all of these hours are really helping build my savings account so I can move forward with getting my own apartment. I’m trying to focus on the positives now moving forward and blocking out the negative thoughts.

I really like this new night theme. I tend to prefer darker themes, so it was a nice surprise to come to the site before work and seeing the new theme. I’m also a night owl and work nights obviously, so I’ll get the most of it.

-I went to bed a little earlier than usual last night and woke up feeling nicely rested this morning.
-Also took a cool shower after being outside in 90F heat and it felt great ;v;
-My mom turned in the final paperwork for my grandmother's estate to the courthouse today. As long as there's no corrections that need to be made, this means she'll be finally done!
-And I came back to a gorgeous new forum theme after a power outage!!

I'm happy that my dad has finally secured a job he's happy with after being unemployed for a couple years He's been through a lot of physical and mental illnesses through that time of being unemployed and sometimes employers would even discriminate against him for that. But now he's finally got something and I feel happy for him!

 

[Disneyfangirl23]

I’m happy about the new acnh update - charging my switch so I can play again lol
I’m happy I’m having my first ever Spa day today
I’m happy that my brother is getting married on Saturday

I've started running last month (2-3 times a week in the morning) and this morning I finally hit my goal 5km run! Besides staying active, I'm also discovering so many beautiful places around my city that I never even knew about.

I've been planning my outfits for work and it's paying off. I feel so much prettier. I also had a hair loss issue earlier this year, and pretty much have proof it was stress related. My hair is so much fuller lately. I also have been putting honey in my coffee and HOO BOY is it amazing.

Sad news but I need a new editor. Good news, I know where to find one, now. After book seven is done I'm going to do a re-edit of the entire series so that everything is perfect. Aaaaaaand I can finally start on the spin off series, and then the MAIN series.

 

[Autumn247]

I got 2 loads of laundry done, and I have some peanut butter cookies I made last night, so I'm having some of those with a cup of coffee

 

[Alienfish]

• I actually did cook last night veggie "ribz", scalloped potatoes, & grilled corn
• Started the process of converting and sorting my spices! The pantry looks so much cleaner already
• My job finalized my contract for me until spring, which should work perfectly for me to graduate this December and spend the spring looking for a different job.
• This also means I got to put in my two weeks notice today at the food-service place. I will not miss it lmao. (I hear everyone there has been putting in their 2-weeks, so I wonder how difficult it's going to be when school opens back up, yikes)
• My dog is finally getting a hair cut tomorrow. I feel so bad for not getting him one sooner. I needed to get his rabies shot & then every groomer was booked up a month in advance.
• I also got a shoe rack I'm really excited about & I assembled it myself!
• I also made dean's list ye y

I've been working on this one project of mine for hours upon hours on random given days and it's been months in the works (possibly even half a year or more) and I am finally nearing the end. It's a weird feeling, but also liberating. I've put so much time and effort in it already that I want to do it right and take my time, even though I have wanted to just rush it at points. I'll share a picture with you all when I am done it (whenever I get to that point!)


@LadyDestani Glad that your cat (or your mom's) is doing better! And that's great about your vacation coming up! Do you have any plans or is it just chilling and not dealing with work? Those are really nice to!

they’re all from the same movie franchise; the hunger games. i’ve really gotten back into the franchise over the last few months, so pretty much most of the fanfics that i’ve been reading recently have been about it.

Oh nice! I never read those books or followed the movies, but one of my online penpal friends really loved that series when it was being filmed. She always wanted to do some kind of story or roleplay with it. The only thing I remember was her talking about how terrible some of the ship names were that the fans made for the mains. I still remember them to this day because why would they think that was a good ship name lol.

It's good that you were able to enjoy those stories! Hopefully the authors have one in the works soon enough!

 

[xSuperMario64x]

I brought my shelf and all my games in here and organized them, I really like how it turned out

 

[Snowesque]

Got an interview this week for a place I'd make almost double of what I do now...

I got the job !!!

 

[TheSillyPuppy]

I got the job !!!

Congratulations! Rake in that moulah!

Yesterday:
- My S/O's covid test came back negative -- phew!
- Three fires came up at work yesterday, but I managed to resolve them/plan to resolve them.
- The roadmap I proposed was approved by exec management.
- I overcame my fear and anxiety and managed to negotiate my salary with my boss' boss. My heart was racing the entire time I was advocating for myself, but once I got the first couple of words out, it felt easier (helped a lot to have speaking points prepared beforehand, based on how to negotiate salary videos on YouTube). I also kept imagining that I was a Caucasian male who wasn't afraid to advocate for my worth.
- I received a promotion. Feels so rewarding to have my accomplishments and potential for growth & development recognized.

Today:
- Managed to wake up for an important meeting I booked with an IC to resolve the last fire from yesterday.
- Felt tired all day but finally feeling more energized after working out and showering.

I've not been feeling the best these past few days but today has been alright.

-I'm commissioning art from both @Plume and @BungoTheElf and I'm so excited!! Their art always makes me so happy and I can't wait to see what both pieces look like.

-I ordered some lipglosses online! I also ordered a few other things but I'm mainly excited for the lipglosses since one of them has a pumpkin scent and the other is supposed to smell like vanilla. I know it's not fall yet but I wish it was. It doesn't come until Tuesday which was my bad for ordering so late in the week but oh well.

-I saw some bluejays! We have a whole bunch outside of our house, they must have a nest in a tree near us. They're so pretty and I love when they fly into the yard

-My dads physio is going really well! He has his last appointment next Friday. It seems to be really helping his shoulder and his physiotherapist says he's doing a good job with it which is lovely to hear.

-It turns out I'll actually be able to visit my grandma tomorrow which I'm very excited about
-Offically starting work at my part time job on Monday! I really don't need anything but a job is still nice to have

Very cool! Some rainy day money is always nice to have. Especially if you're like me and want a lot of the E3 games coming out this year/next year lol.


This sounds really stupid, but I was trying to figure out where I could buy some cedar wood for the longest time. And then it donned on me just to go to the pet store tomorrow and pick up some cedar chips. Trying to kill an awful smell in this antique treasure chest that I am restoring. The musty smell is so gross, but I am glad I now know where to go to pick some chips up!

 

[milktae]

i went to the mall today and got an album (mfal by nct dream) I’d been wanting, and also tried some mochinuts. I wasnt much but im still happy about it :]

Thank you! It's just a stay at home and chill vacation. I needed a break from work as things have been way too busy lately.

Well, I was supposed to see my niece and nephews today, but I was having a really rough day at work and felt exhausted. Then, my sister-in-law texted me that they are staying in town for an extra day so we can see them tomorrow evening instead. That works out so much better because then I don't have to worry about getting up early for work the next day. As excited as I was to see them, I'm very happy that I was able to push the visit out a day and have some downtime tonight.
