What Are You Happy About Today?

[bestfriendsally]

i've nearly finished my amv of ''mikazuki (english version) - ayaka'' on lightworks : D

i might be able to finish it tomorrow

 

[.: Meri :.]

☾ I played Pocket Camp Complete some throughout the day!! I’m hopeful I might be able to full-clear the gardening event that’s going on, but any materials I’m able to get ahold of from the hard tasks are great!

☾ Also got to play Story of Seasons for a short while before dinner!! I saw Eda’s third rivalry event, which I think is the last missable I needed to worry about, so I can relax a little now LOL. also happy that I was able to trigger it even with Elise’s first rivalry event still ongoing, since I saw a few people concerned that it might interfere with Eda’s last one. I was prepared to forfeit Elise’s if I needed to, but Elise is RUDE so I’m relieved I still get to shame her with a high-quality vegetable

☾ Saw SolidarityGaming’s latest Wild Life episode!!

☾ And I got to work on some personal art this evening!

Today was a great day. Had an early short shift at work. Was productive and it went fast.
Got some Christmas shopping done this afternoon. Also picked up a few groceries.
Spent the evening playing ACNH and
cleaning/decorating my islands.
Only one more long work day before I start my last vacation of the year. So excited for hide and seek on Sunday. Have been playing pocket camp complete and really enjoying it.
Hope everyone had a great day.

When the Detroit Lions win with a bunch of backup defensive players...

I couldn't watch the game regrettably because they blacked it out here (I watched the highlights afterwards), but YES! Keep on going, Lions, all the way to the superbowl!!

- I went clothes shopping with my mom.
- So glad that I received an A on an essay for uni. Got a much higher grade than I anticipated, which is a relief.
- The weather lately has been really nice and sunny over the last few days.
- Watched some anime in the evening.
- Posted another short of Luna playing with her cat wand. My mom made a TikTok account for her, though it got deleted. I'm glad that I still have the videos of her. Her kicking is so cute!

Spoiler: Luna

I am so happy for you and Blossom. Glad she is feeling better.

 

[Coach]

I've got an earlier finish at work today, and then a Christmas meal out with colleagues later! I'm looking forward to it.

- Got some grocery shopping done and also replenished my travel toiletry bag w/ mini shampoo, conditioner, and an SPF 30 moisturiser I like to keep it constantly stocked since it makes packing a lot easier, but I used up most of my stuff when I was in Singapore + Malaysia back in September. Happy I'm fully prepared for my trip to Hungary now

- Had some great food today. Had a lamb rogan josh curry w/ rice and veggie samosas, and then a fresh cream banoffee tart with my coffee

It is the weekend!

It has been one hell of a week, and I've been in a lot of pain with limited movement, but I got through it! My walking stick came today, so at least next week should be easier in terms of movement. I hope.

Our department was given extra money that needs to be spent by next week. It came at a great time as our senior pupils (age 15-17) are starting their research projects in January. Hopefully this years projects will go more smoothly than last years as we will be better kitted out!

We had a guest teacher this week doing Christmas lessons and his classes went over extremely well with our first year pupils (age 11-12). At the end of the day, he came into my office with a fire extinguisher and said, "George says you've never used one of these before." Cue us playing with it and him showing me one of the experiments he shows the pupils.

My kittens continue to make me so happy. No matter how terrible a day they can cheer me up. Right now Sebastian is sat on my lap making biscuits and purring.

I'm so glad to have the house to myself tonight. Needed after a long week. I love my partner's company, but I do cherish my "me time". Maybe it's an only child thing? I don't know. But I'm planning to spend the evening relaxing with my fluffy boys.

We are hosting a friend's birthday party at our place tomorrow. I'm nervous about the amount of cleaning it involves, but it should be fun! I don't get out much at the moment due to my health so it'll be nice to see my friends again. I've already warned them I'll probably be getting an early night, but they're welcome to stay as late as they want. I have earplugs!

Found yule log ice cream today at the grocery, and Christmas limited edition cookies! Too bad the Christmas tea was all sold out.

My mood still isn’t the best, but there are some things that I’m happy about today .

Two friends and I are going to plan a day to play Genshin. I’m really excited about it; I had fun playing with each of them & have been wanting to play some more with them. I never played it with more than one other person with me before, so it will be fun .

This morning I was able get a unit that I’ve wanted for a couple years that I never was able to get in Fate Go. I’m thankful for the pity system in this game since I probably wouldn’t have gotten her had it not been for that.

Spoiler

She is so fun to use and her design is cool; I have mixed feelings about her final ascension designs though because her outfit for them seems kinda skimpy and she looks like a kid, so it just doesn’t seem right to me.

I’m also happy that the game is having a rerun for a freebie character that I never got from it when it first ran since I was taking a hiatus from the game.

I got snuggles from both Spanky & Jewels today .

One of my orders came . I still need to finish christmas shopping; I still can’t get myself back on track on that because depression is making it hard. But hopefully soon I’ll get it done!

I’ve been playing more Persona 5 and having fun with it. I maxed out a social skill last night, charm! I got another confidant maxed too!

I’m almost done with something that I’m making for my island journal; might need to progress more in the game though before I can finish it for one of the last ideas I have for it. I’ve been having fun working on that .

I've become more dedicated to having a consistent sleep schedule and taking my night meds at the same time every night, even on my days off when I can sleep in. I can say it's been going well thus far. I feel a lot more active, getting more things done in my days, and have the energy to do the things I enjoy instead of feeling too sleepy all the time. My mood feels better as well.

My day off from work was fairly good.

• The snow finally came! Actually, it already did a few days ago, but it made me happy regardless since I love the snow! Except when it melts and turns into ice. Slippery surfaces and I don't go well together.
• I got to catch up on some sleep thanks to being off from work today.
• @/Yanrima~ finally finished the drawing I commissioned a few days ago and it looks so, so adorable! I'm getting closer to completing my winter aesthetic!

Spoiler: You've probably seen it already oops

Yes, it's Pag-asa all ready for winter looking joyful as always.

• I cleaned the house and helped move some furniture around with my father and eventually my mother. Glad to get that out of the way since we're getting closer to wrapping up 2024!
• I also ate some fries and biscuit from Popeyes as a snack that my mother bought.
• Feel free to skip this point. Since online for PlayStation is free this weekend, I did some online races in Gran Turismo 7! I only did this particular daily race where you have a handful of pre-tuned cars to choose from. A couple of them are the meta (best strategy) to winning races, but I didn't resort to that. Instead, I used two cars I had the most fun with.

Spoiler: A photo finish?! 🚗🏁

First place was already long gone, but second place was still up for grabs. Driving in a 1992 Ferrari F40, I was going up against this 2010 Lexus LFA which is one of the two meta cars for this daily race (the other being the 2007 BMW M3). I don't know how it happened since I usually make last corner screw ups regardless of what racing game I play, but I somehow got a great exit on the last corner while my rival got a poor run. They probably got my curse oops. I was slowly, but surely overtaking them up to the line!

The gap between us was .034 seconds! I want to give huge props to Leadfoot for keeping things fair and clean. They could've easily squeezed me up against the wall to get a cheap second place, but I'm glad they didn't. Sometimes, a fair race is more fun than getting a win.

Here's another screenshot of my second place finish. Oh, and did I mention that the Ferrari F40 is one of the many cars that @/xSuperMario64x and I saw at the auto show back in February? To this day, it's still amazing how we actually got to see one in person.

Spoiler: The elusive win! 🏆

This time around, I went for the trusty 1992 Honda NSX Type R. It took me some races, but I was able to snatch a victory on the final lap on the second last corner! I channeled my inner Daniel Ricciardo and it miraculously worked after my rival kept the door wide open. And yes, I still think about NSX I first saw back in June lol.

Over half the lobby was either driving the LFA or the M3. Considering that I'm at a 'disadvantage', I'm glad that I was able to lift the NSX to the top! My adrenaline was pretty high all while the race stayed clean and fair. Even got congratulated by one other person too.
