What Are You Happy About Today?

Today I'm happy because:

- I slept really deeply last night and got to sleep in this morning.
- I've had a relaxing and enjoyable weekend.
- I've nearly completed my grimoire pages for Behind the Bookcase. I just have a few more details to add.
- I finished coloring the line art for Round 2 of Forest of the Lustrous today. I'll upload it later, but I'm glad it's done.
- I can't believe it, but I solved the Mysteries of the Monolith round that released today! I'm terrible at those things.
- I'm having loads of fun with the Fair!
 
Stuff I forget to mention yesterday:
1. Got snacks at Buckee’s on our way to Houston (this was shortly before arriving). I got hot cheetos, chocolate covered almonds, and cotton candy

2. I love the grandfather clock here :,,,,,)

Today:
1. Ate pigs in a blanket and donuts for breakfast

2. Ate Popeyes for lunch

3. Got cotton candy ice cream this evening

4. My mom took a funny picture of me and joked about me looking like a smoke detector. 😭😂
 
☾ Rewatched a couple more episodes of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood with my family this morning! We also caught up with fWhip's latest Empires episode over a lovely dinner! ^^
☾ I was able to finish the second Forest of the Lustrous coloring page, and I had a lot of fun branching out a little bit from my normal coloring style!! I was also able to finally figure out today's mirror in Mysteries of the Monument (I was so close to giving up too 😅), and I really enjoy scavenger hunt events on here, so I'm happy about the new Witch's Quest as well!
☾ I've also been enjoying just keeping up with everyone elses' entries in all the Fair events! I love seeing what everyone comes up with. ;v; Haniwa Homes has already become one of my favorite events from this Fair—the tiny gyroid homes are just adorable, and there's just such a good range of themes and ideas.
☾ I'm seeing more improvements with my planking! I went up from three ten-second reps to three fifteen-second reps a few days ago, and I've been successfully managing those without too much issue! Oddly, I find myself really looking forward to doing my evening planks lol
 
Today could have gone terribly for me. I didn't get any rest at all last night and it was raining hard outside today and flash flooding.

...but I didn't let it affect me.

I actually ended up having a pretty good day and worked my butt off at work to get a lot done, and I had fun while doing it. And I was touched by the kindness of some people, which is when the rain finally cleared. And all of that and today reminded me that even though my mom is gone, I'm already strong, and there are still people and things in this world worth fighting for. And I believe that is the most beautiful thing of all. :giggle:
 
Today I'm happy because:

- I completed the work that I absolutely had to get done today.
- I got some laundry done so now I have clean clothes.
- The weather was relatively nice all day.
- I got a few more submissions done for the Fair. I'm caught up on the ones ending soon.
 
☾ A couple drama CDs I ordered arrived today—a couple days earlier than expected too! ^^ I've already started listening to the first one. Both CDs are over an hour long, so I'm spacing the tracks out a bit ahahaha
☾ I was able to finish my entry for Hidden Hideaways today! I want it to be autumn already. ;v; I also had fun with the latest round of Where is Gnome? and I'm looking forward to the next Wishing Well blessing window tomorrow!
☾ I saw a new piece of official art of one of my favorite characters! ♥️
☾ I got back into both Style Savvy: Styling Star and Pokémon Legends: Arceus this evening since I was all caught up on stuff for the Fair! In both games I remembered where I was at pretty quickly too. In Style Savvy I collected some more new clothes and met another customer I haven't seen before, and I was able to make some good progress on research tasks in Arceus, as well as recover a few player satchels!
 
★ I have another chance to go to the city south of here (have to take my mom to a doctor appt) so I'm hoping I can convince her to let me stop at goodwill for like 5 seconds to look at the plushies lol

★ @ZeldaCrossing64 will be happy to hear this but I finally managed to find a copy of Wii Party for a reasonable price! it's the disc only and it comes in a jewel case but I only paid about $23 for it (whereas CIB it would've been well over $40). so I'll be excitedly awaiting its arrival!

★ in speaking of buying random things, I also ordered a LPS Digital Pet from ebay. I had two different ones as a kid and I loved tinkering around with them, I would love to have another one for nostalgia. it's a monkey and is in pretty good condition :3

★ a few days ago I got the package that my SO sent to me, it came with a stuffie and a super sweet note that I now always keep on my desk. I have a few plushies I want to give to him as well ♥️

★ might be a bit pg-13 so I'll put it in a spoiler
a few days ago I got a THC vape cartridge from a friend of mine, and it's honestly been helping my anxiety quite a bit. I only use it in the evening since it makes me feel tired/drowsy, but it helps me unwind and relax and it's so nice~

★ I'm gonna do a call with my SO later today, we haven't been able to call much bc he's been working evenings, but he has today and tomorrow off so it'll be nice to actually get to talk to him again :blush:

★ I feel a bit better today than I have been the last few days, still kinda tired but I'm gonna try to get some much needed cleaning done today and tomorrow :)
 
  • My first day of volunteering at the shelter yesterday went well! I prepped to go meals for the people who stay there, and also served the people who came into the dining area to eat. I was extremely nervous at first but I think I did okay! I have a severe anxiety disorder so it's difficult to do social things, I get really shaky and I also sometimes have panic attacks. It's out of my comfort zone for sure but I think it will be a good thing for my mental health. I'm volunteering there again on this Wednesday and Friday, and also next Wednesday and Thursday. Then I will probably sign up for more days after those are done.
  • Yesterday my new Digimon TCG starter deck came in the mail
  • Today I went to the library and picked up some books
  • There was a thunderstorm here today, I love thunderstorms! :D
  • I have the whole day today to relax, plan on reading, and watching shows/movies

I have Autism and I get nervous round strangers too so I guess I sort of know how you feel
 
I BEAT SAKURA, THE CHAMPION, IN WII SPORTS BASEBALL!! 😭
It was really difficult at first and I was getting a lot of close games (much to my dismay and fear for my Wii Remote's well-being), but eventually I figured out the strat and won! I actually Mercy Rule'd Sakura too, so I didn't even have to play the third inning! ⚾
Now I only have to beat Matt in Boxing and Lucía in Table Tennis! 😁
