What Are You Happy About Today?

Today I'm happy because:

- I went into the office and got to chat with a couple of coworkers I haven't seen in years.
- We had a belated Diwali luncheon with catered Indian food. It was really good!
- I got to leave work early for an appointment with my massage therapist.
- I stopped at the pet store on my way home to pick up some chew sticks for my dog and found a cute toy that I had to buy for him. I'm excited to give it to him tonight when we have our playtime before bed.
- The pet store was having a donation event so I bought an adorable cockatiel plush to donate to a child in need.
- Only two more days of work before the weekend and my week off!
- I'm enjoying the TBT Halloween Event so much! It's perfect!
 
☾ My torbie kitty has been wanting to hang out with me during work the past few days. ;v; She's such lovely company too.
☾ Got caught up with fWhip's latest Empires SMP episode today, and got to watch some more Youtube with my family later!
☾ I don't know how I forgot to mention this yesterday, but I've also been greatly enjoying all the pet pictures from both the Wraiths and the Spirits! ^^
☾ The event collectibles have been added to the shop!! I couldn't resist going ahead and getting one of each potion. 🖤🤍
 
- I ordered a bunch of thermal type clothes for my winter trip to Germany early next year, I don't wanna be getting cold! :ROFLMAO: I'm pretty happy since I ordered a red fleece jacket I've been wanting to buy as well as a higher quality real wool replacement for my fitted black turtleneck that recently got a hole in the sleeve
-Instead of going to uni today, I decided to sleep instead and ended up snoozing for 12 hours
- I made some headway on an essay yesterday, and had a nice time in the library drinking a very strong black coffee + trying a Swedish chocolate bar named Pigall
 
⟡ My new drawstring bag and hat came in the mail today. I needed a new sack because my other one was getting old, and I love the style of the new one. I love black camouflage.

⟡ I’m playing Mario Party Superstars with my favorite person tonight! I saw her today before leaving work. I love when she hugs me because she holds me so tightly and lifts me off the ground.
Also, she said my nicknames are endearing, so I guess she does like that corny stuff, lmao.
⟡ I got some spicy nuggets from Wendy’s and shared some with Keagan. Just disappointed they forgot my barbecue sauce, but that’s the norm at this location.
⟡ The TBT Halloween event is perfection. I’m not opposed to having the woods or the enchanted forest theme, so any outcome is fine by me… but purple is the superior color. /opinion
 
☾ My family and I watched Grian's latest video during dinner! Also, dinner was enchiladas, and they were amazing. I can't wait to see where they go with this next.
☾ I sat down and planned out the teams I want to use in my other Pokémon games! My Pokémon playstyle has always been a tad, er... chaotic... so I'm hoping to reign it in a little bit more, ahaha. 😅 This way I can also make sure I'm using a wide variety of my favorites, although there's still too many good ones. ;u;
☾ Also made another rubber band bracelet this evening!
 
Today I'm happy because:

- We've been having beautiful fall weather lately and the trees look amazing.
- I went into the office again. After having so many people in the office yesterday for the luncheon, I appreciated the peace and quiet there today.
- I was able to take both of my breaks and went for walks in the morning and afternoon.
- I got several emails cleared out along with my highest priority work.
- Tomorrow is Friday and then I'm off for a whole week!
- The TBT Halloween Event still makes me happy every day! I love the events, the activity, and I can't wait to get one of the themes up on the forum. Hoping for The Woods theme but I like them both so either way I'll be happy.
- Today was my twin nephews' birthday and I got a text from my sister-in-law that they love the gifts I sent them! 💙💚
 
- Work went really well today and I got a lot done.

- The weather outside was cooler and nice.

- My partner was super sweet to me.

- I loved on the kitties.

- I played some more Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon and our team made it to Normal rank in one go!

- @Foreverfox The Dallas MAVERICKS beat the Brooklyn Nets in overtime 129-125 in Brooklyn! I'm relieved and glad that they managed to get away with the win.

- The Dallas STARS also shutout the Washington Capitals 2-0 at home and maintained the #1 spot in the NHL Central Division.

- Tomorrow is Friday, and then the weekend! I should be receiving a pretty big paycheck tomorrow, the largest paycheck I've ever received so far in fact. :D
 
I was not happy that my oldest sibling gave me another last minute hemming project. It was due by tomorrow morning. However, our mom stepped in to help. She hand-stitched a basting stitch but tied the ends of the thread instead of leaving them open. This made it easier for me to just sew a straight line.

OT wins are the best!!! They’re a love hate though.. I mean, the comfort of a solid win is unmatched. Wins all around tonight!!
 
- I really enjoy my Fridays, and today was no different!
- Got some good sleep before uni
- It was sunny and warm today (really weird for the UK in October), which put me in a great mood
- I got lunch and bought a really strong coffee before class
- Class went well!
- My package arrived :)
 
I am FINALLY finished getting all the dental work I needed done. Now I just have to go back in December for a regular cleaning/exam. My dentist said I did a really good job committing and going to all these appointments I've had there to get all this work done. So happy to be done with it, so relieved it's over and also proud of myself. Now that I'm no longer actively bulimic/am recovered I shouldn't have to worry about causing so much damage to my teeth like I had over the years from that. My teeth aren't perfect but they're in a lot better shape than they were and I think they look pretty good. So grateful for my dental insurance
 
Walked 16 miles yesterday, and I was really sore. - It was 7.3 miles from my house, down the mountain where I live, then all the way to a state park. Then the full trail at the park (which was supposedly around 3.7 miles). And then I was going to walk the 7.3 miles back, but I only made it about 5 when I decided to call someone for a ride. So, it ended up being about 16 miles instead of 18.3 miles. - I was worried about how long this soreness would last...but, I feel a lot better today. Still some aches and pains...but nothing like it was last night when I could barely hobble around.

I just really haven't been very active on TBT for almost a couple of weeks now. This is what happens when college is making me very busy with stuff. I'm very glad that I had a very good day today before the start of the weekend. 😊

Over the past week (October 23, 2022 - October 27, 2022)
  • I watched the 2022 Formula 1 USA Grand Prix! Things were a bit uneventful near the beginning, but the safety car spiced things up to 11 after that which produced some great racing! It was intense watching the fight for the lead while Max Verstappen was chasing down Lewis Hamilton for the win (my goodness, the DRS from the former [which stands for drag reduction system] was too OP for that one straight).
  • I bought a couple of Hotwheels again. I am slowly starting to keep an eye out on what various stores have so I can buy them and build up my car collection. Thanks a lot, Honda S2000 lol.
You can already see the names at the bottom but in case you have a hard time reading, the one on the left is a Dodge Viper RT/10 (I'm sure this is the second generation) and the one on the right is a Chevrolet Corvette C8.R!

  • My week didn't get off to a good start when I did average on my midterms (but I still passed them at the every least). However, I had to do a couple of tests the next couple of days involving some hands-on work, and I did really well on them that one of my professors was really happy with how I performed! I went to go eat at Five Guys to reward myself for doing a great job lol.
  • Feel free to skip this point. Heck yeah, it's been a while since I last spotted a car that I've yet to identify! I'm pretty sure I saw the rear view of an Alfa Romeo GTV passing by with the year model potentially from 1996-2004 while I was parked on the side. For this next one, I already mentioned it, but it made me happy to see a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG again casually on the road while I was walking. Last time I saw it was a few months ago when there was some sort of a car meet. Did you know the SLS AMG was featured on the box cover of Gran Turismo 5?

  • I had to take two tests today with one of them being a midterm. I was a little stressed out the day before because I was only getting a little bit of time to study and I had to do a couple of assignments. To my very pleasant surprise, I ended up doing very well on both of those tests! Really glad I asked a few questions during one of my classes because man, I'd probably be doing horribly if I didn't. I wanted to dance but I just played the F1 theme in my head instead to celebrate my achievement lol.
  • Treated me some Ice Capp from Tim Hortons.
  • Just relaxing for a while after I got home.
  • Played Gran Turismo 7 and did a time trial which partially took place in rainy weather. I really like the sounds of raindrops hitting the windshield while trying not to hydroplane lol.
  • Did a little bit of drawing today. Apparently, I can use the enchanted forest theme for one of the activities for the Halloween event (the collectibles made me want to participate for a bit 😅), so it gives me a good excuse to keep my profile picture in the meantime lol. I reverted my enchanted forest signature to what it was before, but I'm gonna add something else to make it extra special. I wonder what that is?
Thank you for listening to me talk about cars 80% of the time again. 😆
