What Are You Happy About Today?

[Midoriya]

I'm just glad that the weekend is over and the LA Dodgers are advancing to the World Series!! They're not my team, but they were the team I picked to win the World Series this year (using my state-of-the-art Baseball Intuition), and it looks like that may actually come true!

My martial arts testing is also six days away now and I'm excited as heck for it.

☾ I ran an errand today and had some Taco Bell for lunch, which was conveniently located next to where I had to go.
☾ The Kings won their game tonight which puts them at (3-1-2) on the season. It's nothing impressive, but it's a decent start.
☾ The Dodgers are in the World Series once again. I'm somewhat confident they can pull it off this year.
☾ I'm happy about my vacation coming up in just over two weeks. I'll be spending a whole week in Disney World.

I just stepped outside to let the doggos out, and the moon was right above me, so I looked up. the sky is perfectly clear and I can see the stars and the moon shining. I feel so happy seeing that

I had an extremely productive day at work. It was stressful, especially first thing this morning, but I got through it and have set myself up well for the rest of the weeks tasks.

I spoke to the vet and managed to get a month of free insurance (with the provider I actually intended to insure them with) for each of my kittens. I'm so happy to have that peace of mind. We'll absolutely be extending the policy. ️

On that note, I was super anxious about leaving them at home all day for the first time. But I came home to find two excited balls of fluff who were very happy to see me.

My journey home was a nightmare so I stopped at McDonalds for a stress cheeseburger. When I asked my partner to talk me out of it she responded with, "get me stress fries ". Sometimes you just need junk food.

Home, glass of wine, and I've an evening of The Handmaid's Tale season 4 and cat cuddles ahead of me. I'm very happy to have a chill night in with my favourite girl and our furry sons.

I’m struggling still but there are some small things that I’m happy about:

I’m making good progress on my entry for unreal estate. I found a spot to decorate and I think I’m happy with it so far; not sure about the path since I have no room for qr code paths and had to make do with the game paths. Also am unsure about something else I added. I’m having a lot more fun than I thought I would have with the exterior; I’m trying my best to not experiment too much, thinking about some suggestions that a friend gave me about decorating for events

My switch lite got shipped! I’m hoping it comes soon. Tomorrow we’re going to the repair shop unless there is a change of plans (I’m not happy about this but I need to get my old switch lite checked).

I got some snuggles from my kittens today ; their gotcha day is coming up soon! I keep forgetting to look to see what to get them, so they may be getting their goodies late.

I’m happy that I’m gonna be off work tomorrow and also there’s gonna be shooting stars in my main animal crossing island tonight!

 

[Giddy]

Finished applying to like four other jobs, and uploading that to UC
Been working on my Island for the estate activity.
Played with ny younger cat today and been drinking more water!

My new switch lite just got delivered . I’m so happy. I need to finish up on my unreal estate first, but I might start playing tonight when I take a break . I got one room done and am working on an exterior; after that, not sure if I’ll do another area outside or inside.

 

[.: Meri :.]

☾ I finally completed my Museum in ACNH!!! I thankfully didn’t have to spend too much longer resetting Redd to get the last few art pieces I need, so that’s one of my last goals for my island complete!!

☾ My parents and I watched Grian’s first Wild Life episode this evening!

 

[Shawna]

My dad and I had a good talk about various things. One of them pertaining to future plans and what not. I also told him about my mom wanting me to spend the night at hers when she gets a good place in the future, and thankfully my dad was understanding about my brother and I possibly having to stay there separately if need be. ^.^

Oh, my dad was teasing the hell out of me again. He keeps comparing the size of my brain to different animals - including dogs, snakes, and army ants. He claims my grandparents’ dog is smarter than me/has a bigger brain than me. Like hell!

He quizzes me about the difference types of atoms, since he claims my brain at the size of one and even calls me “atom”. Of course, he acts surprised that I knew: protons, electrons, and neutrons. I’m smarter than bro thinks.

MY AIO CAME IN AND I INSTALLED IT RAHHHH

Don't judge my cable management too hard, I know it's bad but I'm just happy I had enough spoons to put the damn thing in. This is my first time doing one and I'm pleased. Lots of stupid hiccups like mounting it backwards and forgetting the screw risers. But it's on and it works!

It even has an LCD to display whatever images you want. Even animated ones. I love it. I'm very very pleased.

My recovery has been going very well. I'm gradually regaining energy and I'm in a lot less pain than I expected. I'm being cautious and not pushing myself, though.

My back pain has been pretty terrible, which I expected as a side effect. Unfortunately, the treatment for my back pain (exercise, stretching, regular adjustments) is the exact opposite of what I should be doing right now while I heal. However, last night I decided to sleep without the belly binder for the first time and my back pain has been very manageable today. Maybe that was agitating things all along? I'll try to do without it again tonight and see how it goes. The doctor said it wasn't necessary.

I called my mom today and had a really nice conversation with her. We talked about a lot of stuff and it was great to just chat without any urgency or agenda.

I've started playing Endless Ocean: Luminous. I bought the game before my procedure because it seemed like a relaxing way to spend my recovery time. It's exactly what I was hoping for! There's not a lot to the game, but being able to dive with a huge variety of sea life, identifying and learning about each new species that I catalog, has been the perfect distraction for me.

• I went to that local Italian cafe/pastry shop I like and got a caramel macchiato, pictured below. Also had some money leftover on my gift card after that so I let them round up my total and donate the rest to St. Jude.
• I slept really good. I can't stress enough how important good sleep is for my mental health, especially with having bipolar.
• I started the vitamin D my doctor prescribed yesterday. My levels were at a 9 when I was tested which is REALLY low so he's hoping in 3 months when we test again I'll be at atleast at a 14 and then go from there.
• Mustachio woke me up today, all sweet. She was purring and biting my nows and gently tapping my face lol
• Gonna practice violin today
• Getting on the treadmill later. Been doing good with exercising. I've exercised the past 4 days in a row. Pretty proud of myself because I have a really hard time making new habits stick.
• Enjoying some music right now
• I'm enjoying playing the first Life is Strange game

I finally got dates scheduled to drive with an instructor. Straight through the holiday season of December.

I had to transfer schools due to the first one being an unorganized mess. (Teacher finished the classroom part then stopped answering his emails).

Which is great because hopefully I can qualify to test for my drivers license by January. I'm very eager.

 

[Animecafe102]

My day off is off to a good start because I made myself a nice breakfast, it's scrambled eggs with pepper jack cheese, toast with margarine, vanilla yogurt with raspberries, and a glass of milk!

 

[hakutaku]

- Had a nice relaxed day off, did a workout

- Did some holiday booking stuff, found a pretty good hotel

- Had homemade scone, jam, and tea for breakfast and a fish finger sandwich w/ chips for dinner like a real British person

 

[Midoriya]

Today and yesterday have been great! I had more martial arts training yesterday and got to preview some sword training as well. Today I got up early and was productive at work, and had a lot of laughs. This week is shaping up to be really good for me, which I'm super happy about.

My mood isn’t very good now but I feel like it is picking up a little now .

I think I’m happy again with the exterior that I’m doing for the unreal estate; I say again because last night I was starting to question and doubt my designs. I had a lot of fun designing it, regardless of how I felt about it, so I have to be sure to just think of that to keep myself from getting discouraged again from decorating activities since these are my favorite type of event activities. I want to think this is much better than my entry in 2020 (I think that was the one I designed the exterior of my house to look like the Muggy Kingdom in One Piece).

I had a nice small chat with with @Kirbyz
.

While trying to remember something about mystery islands to answer one thread, I found some funny screenshots that I took in 2021 that made me laugh (post #4,016). It was when I found a tarantula island; I believe it was the only time I found one.

My mom made tuna for tuna fish sandwiches today; I felt like eating tuna fish sandwich since the other night when @KittenNoir gave me a tour of her island. We were talking about what fish we still needed and one of my last two was a tuna lol. Neither of my kitties were interested in the little bit I offered them (I made sure there were no onions left); Spanky tried a nibble and then she left to eat her hard food lol. I love my girls .

There was a change of plans today so I didn’t go to repair shop today; tomorrow we might go. I felt like crap when I woke up so I’m happy with the small delay.

I was really happy that @Xara’s kitty, Bonk got picked for the first round of Banner Beasts . I’m hoping to see more pets in the banner even if not Spanky ; I love everyone’s pets ☺.

I took a long nice bath; usually I take short baths but took a long one today. It helped me destress a tiny bit.

That’s it for now!

☾ I worked on Lostglade again today! I think I’ve got my beaches almost entirely done now (just gotta wait on one more item from Nook Shopping) and have been adding other little details here and there while I wait for more RNG-heavy stuff like remaining villager photos/flower breeding/etc.

☾ Also bought a couple of really cute character designs and had fun researching names for them!! ;v; With everything that’s been going on lately I think the little bit of retail therapy was good for me ahaha

☾ Watched SmallishBeans’ first Wild Life episode with my parents this evening, and we got to see a few other shorter videos as well!

☾ I completed the second round of Spooky Scary Scavenging!! I’m glad we had something handy for all three things and I was able to finish it early, because idk how much time I'd have for scavenging over the next couple days hhhhh ;u;

 

[Dunquixote]

I found that my old switch lite isn’t dead yet, so I can drop off all my items on my main island and delete my accounts from it before it finally does dies. I’m in the process of doing that now . It probably is at the end of its life though. Thanks so much @Seastar! Now I have no need to go to the repair shop.

I’m feeling better than I was earlier .

I was really happy to get another shop order and one from a friend .

I caught Spanky sleeping on a pile of blankets downstairs and when I left, I caught Jewels sulking up by the stairs .
