What Are You Happy About Today?

[Autumn247]

I had a great day. I started the day sitting outside and read a book for 45 minutes, finished it. I took a really nice 2 hour nap in the mid morning/early afternoon which felt great. I also volunteered at the cat rescue tonight, because another volunteer couldn't make it in so the volunteer coordinator reached out to me to ask if I could cover their shift and I said yes. It was a nice night, lots of sweet kitties. There was a bonded pair there tonight named Toast and Coconut, they were so cute. I also drew a character I came up with today. Now I'm just listening to music, drinking coffee, feeling good and enjoying the night

☾ Finally got all the wedding items and variations in ACNH!! ;w; Finally I am Done with that little quest of mine. also harvested my purple hyacinth enough to craft my very first hyacinth lamp!!

☾ Watched some Youtube with my family today, and we got to see GeminiTay’s latest episode of Hermitcraft!

☾ I got to make progress on some personal art more this evening!! I listened to some music too while I was at it, which was nice!

☾ The Birthday Fair Pop Quiz is out!! I’ve already started working on it and feeling pretty good about some of the answers I’ve settled on. It’s getting late so I’ll probably have to put it up for the evening, but I’ll try to get at least a bit further in tomorrow!

The past week has been pretty busy for me, but I want to make a post for today to mark a special day.

August 29, 2024

• I had a day off from work today to celebrate my birthday! My sister, mother, and I didn't go all out for a typical celebration, but we still did a lot of awesome stuff together and spending quality time with each other.
• We went to a mall we've never been to before and it was quite the experience! It had a certain vibe that we liked a lot.
• While we were there, we bought some fries from Potato Corner that had its pop-up shop open until the end of this month. I was made aware of this when one of my co-workers brought it up a few weeks ago, so I'm glad that I got the opportunity to eat those fries again with my mother and sister after not doing so in seven years (which is the same amount of time that Link was sent to sleep in Ocarina of Time when he was too young to wield the master sword lol)!
• I told my mom that I wanted this game from GameStop. As a birthday gift, she bought it for me and guess what it is!

Spoiler: What is it?!?

It's Paper Mario The Thousand-Year Door! Finally, after so many years, I can actually get around to playing it.

• Aside from looking around in the mall and buying a bunch of food to enjoy eating, we also went for a nice car stroll.
• Feel free to skip this point. No cars I have yet to mention on here but despite that, I saw a bunch that still made me very happy. It started out normally (first three were just Hondas lol), but as the day went on, the levels of awesomeness kept going up! I'll put them in a spoiler and order them from when I first initially saw them.

Spoiler: 10 interesting cars!

1. Honda Element
2. Second-generation Honda Insight
3. Honda CR-Z
4. Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk7
5. Honda Civic Type R (FK8)
6. 2013 Ford Focus ST
7. Nissan 370Z
8. Chevrolet Corvette C8
9. Chevrolet Corvette C6 convertible
10. Porsche 911 GT3 (997)

• I had some delicious food for dinner in the evening, particularly Chicken Sisig and Pancit Canton! Of course, I had some cake after.
• I played a bit of Gran Turismo 7. For the third year running, I've been gifted a car in the game to celebrate my birthday and oh my goodness, I'm really happy with what I got despite already having it! I can use the other to apply a different livery while keeping the stock livery for this gift car.

Spoiler: What's the car, Shellzilla?

It's a Ford GT LM Race Car Spec II! This gave me huuuuuuge Gran Turismo 4 vibes since the Ford GT is basically the face of that game.

• I even played ACNH for a bit to be greeted by Rocco, Raymond, and Carrie celebrating my birthday! Eventually, I showed up for Gruff's birthday and gave him some coconuts as a gift lol. Yes, we're birthday twins!

Spoiler: Some virtual organisms celebrating my birthday

Don't worry, Gruff. I've already captured the moment.

• I'd like to say a huge thank you to those who greeted me a happy birthday! You guys are rad hehehe.
• Lastly, I want to give a shoutout to @/xSuperMario64x for being a precious friend and partner. Today just makes it even more special and not enough words can describe how much I love him. If you're reading this, Bug, I want to say that I love you so very much!

Yesterday was a good day. It was a half day at work. It went fast and was productive. Had a nice afternoon. My cousins daughter made the JV volleyball team at her school. They had their first game of the season so we went to go see her. They won. Stopped at the store on the way home. Made tacos for dinner. Had a nice evening playing Pokémon Violet. Found a shiny Comfey the other day.

Spoiler: Shiny

Flower bloomed

Hope everyone has a great day.

- It's a beautiful sunny day! So nice after 2 weeks of cold, rainy weather
- Successfully went to my dentist appointment, it was just a yearly check up and thankfully my teeth are all in great health
- Went out for lunch with my mum afterwards to my regular cafe to go over our vacation itinerary
- No more work for like a month!!!! The shifts I have when I get back aren't that bad either

I've been biting my nails a lot less! They're finally growing a bit now, and been using stuff to make them grow better. Just been so used to biting them for eons, it's hard sometimes, it comes naturally. Plan to try and find something I can hold in my hands when not doing anything, so it doesn't automcatically happen.
I've also never really seen my nails grow before, so it's weird to see and last time they grew more, the abnormal look to made me bite tham down again so hoping that won't happen again.

Been doing a bit of research for the quiz questions, and plan to finish off it tomorrow~

My urge to write creativity again has been bubbling and I am finally going to try and get back into it~ I have a few fanfictions that really need to be written; it's a pain to start that one sentence but once I do something, I can fix it along the way~

 

[Psydye]

Got some box wine so gonna have a relaxing evening/night playing vidya games, reading, listening to music, etc. Also, had part of my favorite comfort food for supper...grilled cheese sandwiches! Yum!!

 

[Tude]

Forgot to post yesterday but my friend and I met up and played pool after work! As always, she spilled ALL THE TEA ️

 

[.: Meri :.]

☾ something I’ve been waiting for arrived in the mail today!! ;v;

☾ submitted my answers for the TBT Fair 2024 Pop Quiz!! I wound up skipping a couple of questions (and reallyyyy don’t expect to get a full 8 throwback/regular tickets out of the others lol), but hopefully it’ll net me a little something extra!

☾ got to watch some Youtube with my family this evening + see SmallishBeans’ new Hermitcraft episode!

 

[Midoriya]

I'm just glad the week is over and I finished everything on my to-do list at work. And also... I'm extremely, SUPER grateful for my friends from here, each and every one of them. It's odd that I feel most at peace during these times when I shouldn't, but I have to say my friends and family are really what keep me going, especially when I need the extra boost. And these are memories I wouldn't trade for anything... this all should go without saying, but it's what I'm most happy about today.

 

[VanitasFan26]

I guess I'm happy that my sister and my two nieces came to help with the packing. I really need their assitance because I am very tired and worn out. Really need support during this rough time I'm going through.

 

[Bui]

My official Rambley plush from the game Indigo Park finally arrived, and he's so cute!

Spoiler: Rambley the Raccoon!

I also have everything finalized for my next upcoming vacation that's only a few months away (aside from the request for time off at work, I'll be getting that one in soon)! It's the last big vacation I'll be able to take until I go on my next Total Solar Eclipse trip in early August of 2026, because that one will be expensive! I'll definitely need to start saving up for that one if I want to be able to take it the way that I'm planning.

[Roxxy]

Just so grateful for friends who are getting me through today. I am blessed and thankful.

Wasn’t going to post but it is a year today that my beautiful mum passed. Just had a lovely quiet day at home with my beautiful son. His lovely friend my “daughter” sent me chocolate and I was outside and found a white feather. Silly but I feel mum is with me.

Thank you @Yoshi155 so thoughtful and I will treasure

 

[Tude]

Sorry about your mom

Got Blossom some toys from the Christmas selection last week and yesterday. The cashier said to me: ‘Are you getting sorted for Christmas already?’ I said: ‘No, I will be giving them to my dog now!’ I hope she didn’t think I was being sarcastic! I got a Terrier’s Chocolate Orange, some Furberry, Pawda, Poochi Vuiton , Furrsace and a Jimmy Chew! I couldn’t resist them! I also bought her chicken flavoured candy canes and Christmas dog biscuits! She absolutely loves the candy canes. She’s eaten three already today! I think they are going to be one of her favourites! Also, got her an Advent Calendar but I’m keeping that to December! Had a lovely walk this morning with Blossom. The sun was shining and a lovely cool breeze.

Got the results of my DEXA scan from 2 weeks ago, everything is fine! I’m really glad about that as if that had come back abnormal my consultant would probably have not prescribed me steroids again! Just waiting on my MRI results which will probably take 2-3 weeks. The radiographer said my MRI takes longer as my spine is shaped like an s! He was really nice and made me feel at ease.

I really enjoyed delving into the TBT archives to attempt the Fair quiz! There was one question that I didn’t have a clue about! I am desperate to see who created the question and what the answer is! I am probably going to kick myself!

It’s September tomorrow! One of my favourite months of the year!

Snip

Thinking of you Roxxy.

It's always great to have people you love by your side, even when you're missing your mom. Hoping the rest of your day goes well.

Thank you @Yoshi155 for being kind. <3 Takes me back to when I gifted my sweetheart a carnation on Mother's Day

Two weeks ago my axolotls laid a clutch of eggs. Today they started hatching.

Spoiler: Welcome to the world!

• My neighbors bulldog is so sweet, he was snuggling with me earlier when I was sitting outside, he's just a big baby
• I went to the Italian pastry shop with my sister. We got cannolis, tiramisu, a crembrulee donut, cookies, candy and caramel macchiatos. Everything was/is delicious and I had a great time and it was awesome to see my sister. Also I still have $10 left on my gift card so next weekend I'm going there again to get a coffee and biscotti
• I bought a Kindle Paperwhite and a case for it! They'll arrive by thursday. I'm so excited because I love to read and my Kindle Fire stopped working.
• I got an apple arcade subscription again so I can play more of my favorite games on there including Wylde Flowers
• I paid for my two upcoming violin lessons ahead of time and paid my phone bill. So everything is paid and taken care of. Also I'm excited to be resuming violin lessons again after a couple months break from them
• Tomorrow I have a volunteer shift with the rescue kitties I'm looking forward to, also after that I'm gonna stop and get some takeout on the way home
• Next Friday the new Beetlejuice movie comes out and I have plans to go see that so am also excited about that
