What Are You Happy About Today?

[LadyDestani]

The Minnesota Vikings won again this weekend! They're still second to Detroit in the division, but they keep giving me hope.

Thinking on the positive side, I still have two more weeks off work. I'm going to try to take it one day at a time and enjoy each moment of rest that I can get.

Some more things that made me happy today:

@Yanrima~ just finished an art piece I commissioned her for; I’m really happy with how it turned out . It is so adorable . Tysm again Yanrima!

I’ve been thinking of inviting Etoile to my second island to represent Haru from Persona 5. I thought it’d be cute to see her dressed up as her .

I got started on my secret santa art. So far I’m really enjoying working on it; I figured out how to use some more of the tools and I’m getting the hang of using layers. I’m familiar with layers from photo editing, I only got to try it a little during the Halloween event.

Spoiler: Terrible day but I'm having the best evening.

• I sat outside today and socialized with my friend/neighbor. She’s really nice. I have a hard time socializing even though I want to so it was nice. She’s really fun to talk with.
• I started rewatching Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation. I love this anime. It just feels cozy to me to watch it.
• Had fun playing with my cat Mustachio today. She’s so playful. Hard to believe I got her only 3 years ago. Feels like I’ve had her forever. I got her the week before Thanksgiving 3 years ago and she was a tiny tiny little kitten then. She’s grown so much and she’s got such a huge personality. She makes me laugh everyday.
• I did some yoga. That’s like 5 days in a row now. Trying to make it a daily thing. I can already feel my muscles are kind of sore from the past few days and will be getting stronger over time. Also did weights, and some squats with resistance bands. Trying to get a lot more fit

☾ My parents and I watched Youtube over dinner this evening, and got to see GeminiTay’s latest Wild Life episode!

☾ And I got caught up with housework today!! I'm almost through with my antibiotics now and feeling a lot better (except for the cough being persistent, but what else is new) and I'm happy to be moving around some more again ;v;

Today started rough but I’m doing kinda okay now . I’m having a lot of fun drawing my secret santa art. I think drawing digitally is less stressful and more fun than drawing & coloring traditionally was for me. I still want to draw traditionally again and maybe finish the ffxii drawing that I was working on, but I’m hoping to keep practicing drawing digitally. I just need to manage my time better and set aside time to do it; I’m terrible at time management not to mention other issues — low energy, low focus, other interests getting in the way, which are part of the reasons I stopped drawing until the fair and Halloween event.

I got an idea for another drawing for the person that I’m secret santa too. I’m hoping I’ll have time to try it.

I decided to join the draw the user above you again; I’m focusing on my secret santa art, but I’m excited to draw for someone else after I’m done with this and about getting more practice drawing digitally.

Jewels and Spanky snuggled on the bed together an hour or so ago. They haven’t been snuggling too much lately so it made me happy .

That’s it for now

- Got to walk my dog!
- Finally went to an important event I needed to attend despite being afraid
- Had chocolate cake for dessert!

 

[aericell]

- some of my packages arrived today! i got a few new blouses and a birthday card for my boyfriend so i was finally able to get that written out

- also felt more productive since i didn't succumb to a very very comfortable (and warm) nap and i was able to facetime my boyfriend

I completed my personal goals in the Endless Ocean event ending tonight. There were some gorgeous creatures featured in the event dive, including huge, brightly colored seahorses/sea dragons.

A friend came over today to help my husband clean the gutters since I'm not able to do that right now. I'm glad that's done. Afterwards, we hung out for a few hours and it was fun.

☾ I bought a non-binary wristband and it came with a matching Umbreon sticker. The sticker seems durable, too. I'm really happy with it!

Spoiler: wristband + sticker

☾ I'm happy that I'm feeling somewhat decent despite being at my mom's house. That's a rare occurrence.

Got my online interview over with yaaaay. I don't think it went well lmao, but happy it is over

Going to my brother's house later, not seen him in a while so it'll be nice

It snowed last night, v festive

I can stay home all day

• I’m going to get my yearly flu and Covid vaccines today! I usually get them in October but I procrastinated a bit this year. At least I’m getting them done today!
• Mustachio woke me up this morning. It’s always nice to wake up to her purring and snuggling with me. She’s such a love bug especially in the mornings better than any alarm clock
• I slept really well. Slept straight through the night. A lot of the times I wake up at 2-3am and can’t get back to sleep so sleeping through the whole night is really nice.
• I played episode 4 of the game Life is Strange last night. Excited to start episode 5. Then after that I’ll move on to the game Life is Strange: Before the Storm. I have all the LiS games except the one that just came out Double Exposure which I plan on getting once I finish all the other ones. This is my first time playing any of them and I’m really enjoying it so far. I also have a hard time finishing games I start so it’s exciting that I’m about to finish this one! Its holding my attention really well and I want to find out what happens next.

I finally got ahold of an art book that I've been trying to find for ages, and I'm so excited about it LOL it's signed by the artist, and I can't wait to have it in my collection

 

[Jhine7]

Just bought Savannah Bananas tickets for next year!

Going for the 3rd year in a row, this time at Yankee Stadium!

 

[Giddy]

I finished that retail and hospitality training~!!! I'm FREE
(I have told the people who are giving us the course already about how I can't do tomorrow. Said this many times, even told my teacher and he was fine as long as I got everything done by today. And one person from that course thing text me saying I have to go to the course tomorrow otherwise I wouldn't have completed the course? Saying I should tell the people who are doing the work experience that I can't go - crazy, crazy as if I would ever do that - but my teacher was able to inform that it was fine. Her condensending 'You're so lucky!' at the end of that message got me)

Had a lovely bath & shower and got myself ready and my bag for tomorrow.
Feeling super excited, a lil worried on what I'll be doing or worry I'll get tired easily. Havent had much time to research but hope thats alright.
Would be amazing if i could get a step here!

My mood is still not the best but it’s starting to pick up a bit and I’m happy about a couple things.

Forgive me for sounding like a broken record. I’m just really excited and happy with my progress on my secret santa piece. Looking back at my art for the halloween event, I want to say I’m improving. At the same time, I can’t remember the order or what percentage I have a color at, etc. when I’m trying to shade like the other eye after doing one eye. Hopefully I can figure out a way to keep better track of what I do . I’m really having so much fun; I forgot how much I liked drawing . I’m really glad I participated in the art contests in the last tbt events since if I didn’t, I probably wouldn’t have been able to get myself back to drawing anytime soon.

I’m very grateful for the pointers on using shapes @Yanrima~ had given me a few years ago, which got me to look up a little bit how to use them to do the sketches. I’m finding it much easier drawing digitally than traditionally since I’m terrible at drawing light traditionally while digital. I think I’m doing better with the shapes now; I know it just basic drawing, but to me it is a big deal since while I took some art classes in grade school, I don’t remember anything from them. For the longest time, I’ve just drawn what I see as best I could.

I caught Jewels laying on the tree skirt earlier, looking really cute. My mom just yelled at her because she was playing with the ornaments; she likes to take the ornaments off the tree .

@Roxxy & @mocha. both shared an adorable picture of their cats with me; I’m always really happy to hear from them .

That’s it for now.
