What Are You Happy About Today?

Saw a little spec in a tiny fish bowl at a pet store. It did not look like good living conditions.

Took him home and that little spec is now a full adult fish and over a year old.

I wish I could save them all. Happy I could give one pretty little fish boy a home though.

Saw the newest One Piece episode (So Much is going on omg) and another episode of Haikyu with my parents this morning!! Can’t believe we’re already almost through with Haikyu’s first season; it really doesn’t feel like it’s been that long 😭 also can't believe how much I love this show considering I'm not normally interested in sports at all asdfkjfdklf

I played in the Among Us session earlier today! Just for fun since I’d already gotten my participation in for this round, but I’m really glad enough people showed up! ;v; I’ve 100% completed the Polus Cosmicube now too, and should hopefully be able to afford the Snack one soon.

I also dropped by Rio_’s island for the first round of Villager Birthday Parties!

My parents and I also watched Grian’s new Build and Seek video! I love these videos and I’m excited to see the others’ POVs too!

I worked on my entry for the first round of Colorful Confetti, and I think I got a really good start on it!! I've also started thinking about what I'm going to do for Besting Blunders, but it's all still in my head for now.
 
i finished the first part of my signature assignment for my final master’s course (with 4 hours to spare)! i still have the second part this week which might be a little more complicated but i have one week left and i’ve finished all the courses i need to complete my program 😊 after that i’d just need to work on and submit my portfolio and then i’m DONE DONE and im freeee
 
after lots of internal debating, I decided to go for the NSO + expansion pack & the NL mailbox prize :) Really happy!! I've been wanting the expansion pack for quite some time but it cost way more than I'd like to pay lol. Plus I didnt have time before to play that much, so I'm happy I got it for free and during this time period too! I'll be taking a gap year before taking residency so I'd like to enjoy my time playing and stuff c: Also super happy I got the NL mailbox prize, I lost my 2017 mailbox prize so I also lost whatever ACNL stuff was in there :c plus it's always so enjoyable to receive stickers and a personalized letter! c: I have both 2020 and 2022 letters displayed so I can't wait for the 2024 letter. It'll be nice remembrance of ACNL too c:
 
I complained vocally about how I'm not happy with flying for the first time, although I'm going to be meeting up with my older brother in the UK and I'm admittedly very happy about that! Since I was 13 years old our time together has been infrequent and sporadic. Yet we speak all the time online. Seeing him again and spending time together is totally worth going through a little discomfort.

(felt sad this morning when a thread I made regarding flying didn't get a reply. that's a risk that comes with making topics) but I think I'll make do. Got a travel pillow today so it'll help in regards to a long flight.
 
Let's face it. I can't draw.

But today I made a little something for the memory's contest or whatever it's called. Pulled out my best crayons and colored away. Had some RHCP as background music. I feel really happy even though it's probably chicken scrap to the average artist here.

I can't post it until Wednesday though. Don't ask why. Part of it is me being an old fart. Once again, don't ask.
 
Despite being a bit chaotic and having low energy at times, today was pretty good! I got up early and was productive at work. Finished my dailies in my gacha games and continued my Pokemon Red Rescue Team playthrough. Then I went to martial arts for awhile and worked on my top techniques. Looking forward to a relaxing evening tonight before I have to work again tomorrow as well. Hope everyone had a good day! 💚
 
Today was overall mood wise awful, but right now I think it is getting better (or least I’m hoping it will last).

Last night I got two shiny gimmighouls! 🥳 The first one I wasn’t paying attention when it came time to catch it, but I threw the Poke ball and it turned out to be a shiny. The second one, I noticed was a shiny right away 🙂.

I got balloons that I wanted! :D The Final Boss heart balloon was the most unexpected of them all. I’m really happy with all three of them :D.

I got some snuggles from Spanky today. ☺️

I finally got a picture of Jewels following me when I was visiting her sister in the basement 😸😹. This is not a coincidence since she does this all the time.

That’s it for now 🙂.
 
I can still hardly believe it, but I was able to get one of the custom shaker keychains!! ;w; I was super nervous most of the day and omg the adrenaline hit me hard right before they got added to the shop and at least a couple hours afterwards alkfghjkldf. I had a few ideas for what I might do with it if I was able to get one, but I didn’t want to get too ahead of myself in case I wasn't quick enough. So I spent a good part of this evening really planning out what I’m gonna ask for, and I think I’ve settled on a favorite now!! ;v; I’m feeling really good about it eeee

Also I ordered a couple of Pokémon Sitting Cuties plushes the other day to treat myself after my doctor’s appointment (and the very busy July I had. and it’s okay now but the past few months were pretty rough actually akfjgldsfgk), and they got here safely today!! Magneton and Klinklang have been my desk buddies all day. I have recently been enlightened as to their cuteness 🩶

I got my entry for Dazzling Decorator finished!! 🌻 also I really love the outfit I dressed my rep up in for the picture ;v; might make it one of my main ones

Watched the new Life of Luxury episode and Markiplier’s latest Chained Together video with my mom, and both my parents and I got to see Grian’s new Hermitcraft episode this evening! Got some really good laughs out of all three ahahaha
 
  • I had really severe dissociation and panic today (from my BPD) but some of my coping skills helped. I took a shower, played a game (Wylde Flowers, which is so much fun it’s got me back into gaming again after a hiatus of not being able to find anything to hold my attention), read and watched some shows. Meditation helped too. Seems like when one thing gets balanced another thing gets unbalanced. I’m doing well with my bipolar disorder now due to my meds but am struggling more with my BPD (borderline personality disorder) symptoms the past couple weeks, anger, irritability, mood swings, splitting, dissociation, anxiety etc. It would be nice if both could be balanced at once. Maybe eventually. I am just doing my best to work on DBT right now to hopefully improve the BPD intensity.
  • I started watching Pokemon X and Y , it makes me feel happy cause Pokemon just always puts me in a good mood. It’s so positive and the colors are bright!
  • This week is gonna be stressful so I’m trying my best to focus on the positives and not get overwhelmed. Tomorrow I’m going to an adult coloring night at my library. So that should be fun, I’ll post back about how it goes. It’s hard for me to socialize and get out so if I am able to do it I will be really proud of myself.
 
♡ I got a rainbow heart balloon! Reallllly over the moon about this <3 I've been wanting one since they released pictures of all the gradient balloons! ^_^ I also got a Cool Heart Balloon. I hope I can get a Hot Heart next round!!

♡ Finally back to my dads after a long weekend at my moms T^T Had to watch my older brother and the dog + cats. I had a nice weekend, but it's GREAT to be back HOME!!!

♡ Was able to nab the LEGO Maple set! I'm twinnin' with the bestie @skarmoury now ~ >:3 I'm also excited to receive my NL mail pack thingy! ^_^ These two things made me happy simply because I LOVE receiving mail, or packages, or BOTH!

♡ Got my Zombie Pompompurin plushie from Build-a-Bear today 🥺 He's so cute! He isn't stuffed to my liking though, so I may go to my local BaB to see if they can stuff him more.

♡ Cleaned my bed sheets and pillow cases. Along with my super big blanket. But.. when my dad took my stuff out of the dryer, the only thing that wasn't dry was the blanket :^/ Now I have to wait until tomorrow to finish drying it because it's too late to use the dryer now -w-

♡ Got some more crochet yarn! I seriously think I may have a problem xD But, I'll use it! So I guess it's not too big of a problem!
 
I'm feeling so happy tonight after a mentally draining school session because I finally got my dream collectible, the Bluebird of Happiness plush! Thank you @ZeldaCrossing64, ILYSM!!! 💙

Later I gifted them some final boss balloons! The final boss bunny came from one of my tokens while I traded my cool balloon with someone for a regular final boss. OMG, their reaction was simply unforgettable!! T^T

I didn't get any glam balloons this round, but all this happening brought me so much joy that it's the least of my concerns! Plus, all the balloons I spawned weren't sweet!

I hope you all have had a great day!

Edit: OMG I almost forgot to mention that today was my friend @BTCircley's birthday T^T I'm so sorry bud!!
 
A small mouse approached me in the bathroom. I noticed a presence under the door where Ive seen my cats paws before playing and when I turned to look suddenly a little mouse appeared and looked at me for 5 seconds. Then scurried away under the door crevice. Theres a mouse in my house and I am living with a born wild hunter cat whos captured 7 rabbits this month. I hope the mouse can find a way to an open door. Although thats probably how he got in in the first place.
