- My dog seems to be feeling better today. He was sick last night.
- I got to sleep in today, which I was very grateful for after being up with my dog until 4am.
- My dog was very playful and loving when I woke up this morning.
- My husband wished me a Happy Fur Mom's Day!
- I got to watch another episode of Bridgerton. Only 2 more to go and then the wait for next season.
- I think we made my mom's day special. She enjoyed coming over for a visit, playing with my dog, and was really surprised and happy about the cake we bought for her.
- I took a nice, relaxing shower.
Went to Colorado to visit family. Normally socialization is very hard for me but managed to talk with my family with some help the whole visit. Very proud of myself!
I've finally beaten Fuga: Melodies of Steel after a while owning it on my switch and enjoyed it quite a lot. I'm glad I picked up the game when I had the chance to.
I've brought some new books recently and started to read more the past few days, managing to finish a few books in the process. I still have lots of unread books I own that I need to read, but hopefully I'll get to reading them overtime.
@xSuperMario64x Poofesure uploaded a new video!! That's always the highlight of my day.
I also ate some leftover spaghetti, made some art, and played Mario Kart 8 Deluxe today!
Took the girl I have been dating for a while out to an evening of parasitology talks. This is my field, for context (she is also a scientist, but different field). And she was very interested in the content! I was surprised by that.
I finally asked her to be my girlfriend. She said yes.
- Despite having a rough day to start off, both my partner and friends have been very sweet to me today. I'm feeling a lot better because of it.
- I've been helping my family out with things more and even helped my deliverer take groceries up the steps to my house. They said they appreciate it and that not everyone does that, and it made me happy.
- I've always been one to think about how my actions and words affect others. I know "defense mode" is part of my Aspergers, and I can't really ever completely erase it. I know when things get really heated in a situation, however, my emotions sometimes take over. And it's at those times that I need to take a step back and just remember how I'd want the real me to respond. I know that once I stop being a liability towards myself and have more confidence in myself, there'll be absolutely nothing that can stop me.
- I got some more cute pictures of Pippi. In fact, she's in my room right now.
I had a nice relaxed day today!
- Hashed out some plans with my friend for our meet up on Wednesday. I'm so happy we randomly bumped into each other 2 months ago , it's been nice having her in my life again
- I finished a PowerPoint presentation for uni a couple of days ago, which is a relief...too bad I still need to record audio for it though lmao
- Tonight I made some leeway with an essay! It's due in around 9 days and I'm determined to finish it before my birthday It's not very good but I keep reminding myself it's a first draft (and the last essay of the year,,,)
- I slept pretty deeply again last night.
- After a cold and rainy weekend, the weather was warmer and sunny today.
- I didn't stress too much over my work today and got the highest priority items done.
- I got someone to cover for me next week so I can take the week off.
- I was craving Nacho Fries so that's what we had for dinner tonight.
- My dog has been on his best behavior today.
- I'm looking forward to reading before bed.
I got a lot of yard work done today and yesterday despite the rainy and windy weather. It stopped and warmed up for the remainder of the day yesterday and after work I got some more done. I planted marigolds all around my vegetable garden, replaced most of the dead herbs around my trees, almost finished bordering my gardens with rocks, and stringed line through the poles of my grape rows. They're not tall yet, but I wanted to get it done before the vines get too big.
Still got a lot more to get done, but slowly checking off the list! Then it's smooth sailing. My asparagus roots that I just planted also have baby stalks growing from them already!
It's been a while since I last posted here because I was feeling like utter garbage yesterday. While I'm not entirely 100%, it's definitely better than yesterday. I'm trying my best to hang in there.
After I dropped off my mother at work, I saw a goose chilling on the top of a building nearby. It made some noises and even moved its long neck around which I find amusing.
I went for a walk that lasted for around 45 minutes as exercise and to drop off the Zelda manga I finished reading yesterday at a library. I even saw a Bernese fog on my way home and is probably bigger than its owner and myself lol. Did I mention the weather was also pretty nice?
I continued working on my art project and it felt like I made lots of progress! I finished five things on my checklist to be specific. I did a little bit of math again and I'm roughly 35% done!
Feel free to skip this point. Today, I might've spotted a Mercedes-AMG GT S! This is from a few days ago but when I went to pick up my sister from school, I most likely saw a Fisker Karma Ecosport! I actually saw this already sometime last year but considering it's quite an obscure car, it's a miracle at all to see it again. I don't need to explain how I knew this car's existence in the first place lol. However, there's a good chance it could be a Karma Revero instead (and technically a different car). Long story short, the Fisker Karma had horrible reliability, lawsuits, and other dramas were involved which ultimately led to the company closing down not long after. Eventually, it would get bought out by a different company that would revamp the car to fix many of its flaws. Aside from a few visual tweaks, its appearance pretty much looks the same as its predecessor. You can watch this video to know more if you're somehow still curious. I dunno, it makes me happy learning stuff like this. And the design looks pretty nice in my opinion as it reminds me of an Aston Martin and a BMW.
I got to play Gran Turismo 7 and won a tough race where consistency and speed are key, even though I admittedly had to nudge the AI a bit to get through. A lot of the time they don't even acknowledge my existence on the track and would usually pit-maneuver me, so I thought it would be nice to return the favour lol.
I was asleep but my brother woke me up w a video call about half an hour ago. I didn't mind though, I stayed up the entire 25 min just listening to him ramble abt school and other fun stuff he's been doing. I'm really grateful to have a brother who genuinely cares abt me and I really value our friendship so I don't mind waking up to hear him talk for a while
It was my day off today and the weather was cool out which I prefer over the warmth lately. I got lots of quality cuddle time with my cat and got a decent amount of chores done. I was also able to buy a Jingle collectible! I already made a bunch of Christmas lineups that use it, I am very excited for the next holiday season. Rip my tiny amount of bells but worth it
I went to have dinner with my mother since we couldn't go yesterday; food was yummy and we had a good time.
Also continued to reach out to my friend and asked if I could join their discord again and she said yes :0 a pretty good day overall
i didn’t post this weekend as i was just too tired, both physically and mentally, but all things considered, the past few days actually weren’t too bad! my mental health is in a weird spot and i’m dramatic, but i’ve still got lots to be happy about and grateful for.
friday (05/06) ♡ found out that one of my favourite fanfic writers has finally started writing the next chapter to one of their in-progress fics, which just so happens to be one of my favourites of all time!! it hasn’t been updated in almost a year because the author received some harsh comments on it (not criticism as it was just insults ), so i’m really excited that they’ve finally started writing it again!! the fic hurts my feelings with how angsty it is, but i still love it so much!! <33 ♡ stumbled across an extended version of one of my favourite clips on youtube!! i had no idea there was more to the video when i first saw it a few months ago, but getting to see it was a pleasant surprise! ♡ cuddled with alize. ♡ went to most of my classes. ♡ got high. ♡ had 2 sausage, egg and cheese breakfast sandwiches from tim hortons for lunch, and they were pretty tasty!! my mom also brought home a dozen donuts, and they were so fresh that the icing was still wet! only a couple of the dozen were mine, but they were delicious!! ♡ got the money from my dad that i talked about a few posts ago!! i’m still not sure what all i’m gonna spend it on (or if i’m gonna be wise and save it), but i’m excited. :’)
saturday (05/07) ♡ cuddled with alize, and she let me kiss her head a bunch. ♡ called a local store to inquire about something! this probably doesn’t seem like a big deal, but as someone who deals with extreme social anxiety (and anxiety in general), making phone calls (especially to make appointments and/or ask about something) is really hard for me, so i’m honestly really proud of myself. go, me. ♡ did a new horizons trade. ♡ my mom surprised me with a smoothie from booster juice! ♡ found out that the harley quinn and jack skellington t-shirts that my mom ordered for me have been shipped!! :’D
sunday (05/08) ♡ did some self-care. ♡ cuddled with alize. <33
♡ my mom really liked her mother’s day present!! it honestly wasn’t much (just a few packs of these gummies she likes that she ran out of a few days ago), but she was really surprised by and happy with them, and that’s all that matters! i even got a pack for my dad as well, and bought a few things that i’ve been wanting, too. :’) overall, i’d say this year’s mother’s day was a success! i hope all of the amazing mothers in this community had a wonderful day as well. <3 ♡ discovered a new favourite edit of one of my favourite fictional characters. ♡ read a sneak peek of the next chapter of one of my favourite fanfics!! it’s the one that hasn’t been updated since july, so getting to read a sneak peek for chapter 5 was an amazing surprise and has made me even more excited for the full chapter to be published!!!! ♡ my lovely friend @Roxxy sent me a mother’s day carnation collectible. i wasn’t expecting it at all (haven’t been too active, so i didn’t even notice they were in the shop ), but it made me so happy. thank you so much again, love.
today (05/09) ♡ got 2x nook points in the NSO app. ♡ got high. ♡ ran into one of my neighbours while going back to my apartment after my smoke sesh this morning, and actually had a nice interaction with them! i admittedly don’t get to interact with my neighbours much, but i held the door open for her twice (her hands were full), pressed the button for her floor in the elevator, and she even told me to have a nice day when she got off! i was anxious (and high ) as hell the whole time, but it felt nice to interact with someone and not feel like i acted like a complete idiot afterwards! ♡ tidied up my room a bit. ♡ started the process to send my switch lite to nintendo to get its joy-con/joystick drift repaired. it started only a couple of days after i first started using it, and i didn’t think to return or exchange it until it was too late, and now the console is practically unusable. the repair unfortunately won’t be free as i’m outside of my warranty, but it’s still cheaper than what the cost of buying a whole new switch lite would be, so i’m not mad. hopefully i’ll be able to get it shipped out soon and have it back in time for the end of the school year. ♡ cuddled with alize. she had a vet appointment today as we’ve been concerned about some issues she’s been having, but she handled it like a champ (other than trying to get out of her carrier in the car + giving the vet a hard time lol) and is doing alright. <3
, it's been nice having her in my life again
), so i’m really excited that they’ve finally started writing it again!! the fic hurts my feelings with how angsty it is, but i still love it so much!! <33
), but it made me so happy. 
thank you so much again, love.
