What Are You Happy About Today?

I had a pretty good day. I had another massage therapy session, which I really needed. This time I was able to lay on my stomach without any pain, so she was able to work on my lower back too.

We went grocery shopping and got salad supplies. We haven't had salads in a while so I'm excited to get back to eating healthier. I also picked up a few indulgences like ice cream and peppermint bark, but I'll eat them in moderation. While we were there, I also got a birthday card and gift card for my nephew. He's turning 15 next week!

My husband and I are hosting Thanksgiving this year for the first time. The immediate families are coming to us so I won't have to travel too much. It's only 5 people, not a big crowd, and they're each bringing a main dish. We rarely cook, but we'll contribute a few things to round out the meal like some simple side dishes, rolls, and a dessert. I wasn't too sure about the idea when my husband first suggested it, but now I'm kind of excited.

My sister-in-law is bringing the kids in after Thanksgiving so we'll get to see them over the weekend!
 
I don't wanna jump the gun buuuuut I'm fairly positive that I'll be coming back for my Canadian loves in February hehehe 🇨🇦💓

also, I'm still not 100% feeling better because I probably am anemic/vitamin deficient, but I'm definitely feeling better than I have been for the last week and I'm grateful for that 🥺
 
- Had another good shift yesterday! Super chill and easy despite closing by myself, mostly because my coworkers did a lot before they left.

- Successfully went grocery shopping and stocked up on stuff.

- Made a fish fillet burger w/ hash brown and sweet potato fries, v tasty! 😋

- Have an online job interview on tuesday, so we'll see how that goes. it would be a full time position in admin, which would be ideal for saving up + learning skills in business admin before i leave for my travels in late 2025
 
I went back to Rune Factory 3 Special today to play through Shara’s Newlywed Mode story, and also made some progress in my main file with her—we have a daughter now!! 🌸 I also went and got the Another Episode DLC from the eShop! I haven't started it yet, but I’m looking forward to checking out Shara’s short story next time ;w;

She's currently sitting in her armchair, yes her armchair. I rarely use it. She loves it. Likes to sit in there and watch me lol she loves being cozy. Also I did yoga last night and this morning, trying to make it a daily habit

  • i had potato soup for breakfast this morning which had me pretty full
  • went to work and holyyyyy it’s so busy already!!! lots of people getting christmas gifts but i’m very happy to report that i didn’t have a single fussy customer (*° ˘ °)♡
  • overall it was a really nice shift!! i got to chat with so many other workers i wasn’t able to before, mostly because they’re normally on the floor while i’m at cash
  • went grocery shopping after my shift was over and was able to get a lot of the things i had on my list, the only thing i wasn’t able to find was half and half 😔 but i can substitute it with cooking cream or whipping cream for the recipes i plan on making!
  • gonna head home and decompress from all the socializing and npcing then i’ll probably recipe test this cake i want to bring to my cousin’s daughter’s baby shower ( *ฅ́˘ฅ̀*)
 
My boys did so well at the vet today. They got (jokingly) told off for purring when the vet was trying to listen to their hearts. Sebastian must have eaten a week's worth of treats in that appointment - he is so easily bribed. 🐈

I've been in a lot of pain today, so I appreciated that I had today off work. I spent most of it lying on the sofa with my boys (they were very sleepy after their vaccines) - I even managed to nap a little bit with them.

I managed to get through the TBT Time Capsule event threads and launched the Pokémon Scarlet & Violet tournament.

My ASDA order came so I've a day of batch-cooking ahead of me tomorrow - providing this pain dies down! I'm going to make a tomato & courgette halloumi pasta bake, sausage & veggie casserole, and a root vegetable soup.

I've also been invited to my friend Mark's birthday party tomorrow. Let's hope I feel up to it.

My partner's at the theatre with her Dad and I'm appreciating a quiet night.

My little men are being very cute tonight. 💕

Nicholas has a cold, but still really wanted to go to IHOP today as planned. So, we went and he was in good spirits and actually ate well.

Managed to get my time capsule post in and sign up for the Pokemon tournament that hopefully I don’t have third first round KO in a row that hopefully I do well in.
 
I’m not doing really good right now (medicine still needs to kick in), but there are a few things that I’m happy about so far.

I’m almost done with the fourth palace and I just unlocked the gallows; I used the gallows and managed to transfer the skill that I wanted a Persona to relearn (since it lost it when I made it in a fusion alarm). I’m having so much fun fusing Personas :D.

My dad had work today so it was quiet for once 🙂.

Last night, I had fun playing Among Us with some friends :D. I’m looking forward to tonight’s session if we have enough 🙂.

That’s it for now. 🙂
 
I pulled out my chess board today and played with my older brother. It was the first time out of six games we've played that he's beaten me.

I'm proud of him and happy for him.

I know he's passionate about chess as a hobby. I was waiting for this to happen. I knew he would catch up. Soon he'll beat me when I'm playing white.
 
After a couple weeks of chaos and not so happy things... my days are finally looking up again!

I went to dinner and hung out with my two irl besties on Thursday and I think it brought me back to life. I needed some carefree laughs and good food. Then yesterday I had a day to myself with no deadlines or anything to stress me out so I spent the whole day playing games and drawing. I haven't drawn in over a month so it made me happy to get back into it. I also chatted with my online friends and I was glad to see they're all doing well while I've been busy. And then finally today I went to a cosplay event at my uni! I got to cosplay one of my comfort characters and have a lot of laughs with my friends. I love how accepting and nice the cosplay community is at conventions, it reminds me there are people in the world who like the same things I do and there's nothing wrong with it.
