What Are You Happy About Today?

Saw an episode of Demon Slayer and Haikyu with my family this morning, and over dinner we got to see another of LDShadowLady’s Empires season one videos!

After spending too much time struggling with my Word document of my collectibles lol, I decided to host a contest for my Valentine’s lineup!! There’s already so many cute ideas aaaa 🥹

I worked on some art today!

Took care of a few little things that had been bugging me!

I'm excited for the upcoming TBT events!! ;v; Especially Valentine's (I would kill for a love letter collectible or more pastel Pavé feathers...) and another flower breeding event!! I'll be crossing my fingers for egg decorating again this year too aaa

And I got to play hide and seek in Among Us for a little while this evening!
 
Yesterday was my partner @ZeldaCrossing64's birthday! I drew something for them as a gift and they loved it.
You can see my explanation behind the drawing in my art thread.

Later, I got to see the Dog Man movie with my sis! It was very nice, and it was so faithful to the series that I think they used the same dialogue from the books in some scenes. We were in the audience with some kids because they're the intended target audience lol, and I can still hear them copying Petey and going, "Oh, Dog Man!!" It was so endearing. 🐱🧡

After that, we went to Target and I bought a few things for myself. Since I'm still fixated on the Dog Man series, I got a plushie from the movie and a coloring book. I'm working on one of the pages right now!
with bonus Dog Man amigurumi!

and here's my WIP coloring page! If you couldn't already tell, I deliberately colored Petey and Li'l Petey to make them look like me and my partner's characters; Petey is Char and Li'l Petey is Crisp. 💕 I'm only just getting started, lol.

Today, I got to crochet and play videogames. I don't usually get opportunities like this because I can only get my Switch on weekends when I'm finished with my homework and I have a bad habit of procrastinating, so it was pretty special, in a way. Also, I'm excited for what the Valentine's Day event has to offer! If one of the activities lets me make stuff for my partner, I'm 100% down for it. I hope you guys have a good week! 💜
 
Today was a bit rough but, I’m starting to feel a little better after chatting with @Xara 🙂.

Some things that happened the last couple weeks that I’m happy about:

The tarot cards from solideryx arrived awhile ago :D. I love his art so much ☺️; I’ve been wanting this deck for a few years, so I’m really happy that I was able to get it finally 🙂.

I’ve been enjoying playing Genshin, both my main and second account. I’m really excited about Wriothesley’s upcoming rerun banner.

I pulled on Arlecchino’s banner and her weapon banner and got her and both weapons. I got a four star unit that I wanted too.

I’ve been having a lot of fun playing Among Us with friends 🙂; it has been a lot of fun playing flashlight and slowmo. Thanks @Shellzilla_515 for the suggestions :D; I know you brought up changing the speed before but I thought you were just joking about it 😅. Sorry about that!

I was able to buy the space cat bundle and the new derpy zodiac dragon bundle tonight. 🥳 Hopefully my connection cooperates better next sessions 🤞🍀🍀.

@xSuperMario64x finished my art from draw the user above me :D; I really love how it turned out. Tysm again, Bugs! ☺️💜💜

I’m looking forward to the flower breeding event and the easter egg hunt 🙂.

That’s it for now 🙂. I hope everyone has been having a good new year so far!
 
Work is as usual a pain, even after my mum came in to help set up.
But instead of focusing on that I wanted to express something I liked today.

A customer who had mentioned about the radio music (bosses ex put it on) and it got us talking about music we like that has no lyrics and told her and showed her lofi music, and she seemed really interested in the music and said she definitely have a look at lofi in the future! Was really nice showing something that can give us peace of mind while doing things.

In ny other job, I had another customer ask what I had on and it was lofi, and I still remember when he came back months ago and thanked me for the lofi because it helped him a lot.
 
Actually felt okay when I woke-up this morning. I've been so drained lately due to a ME/CFS flare-up, but today I had energy.

I got a call from HR saying they'd been trying to contact me for a week - turns out they had my email wrong. They've referred me for ADHD Workplace Coaching (I was awarded a grant in December to pay for 16hrs of sessions). ADHD is one of my biggest obstacles in the workplace so I'm pleased this is finally going ahead. 🥳

I managed to source a glue gun from the art department and finally repaired our conductivity boards (used to teach pupils about which materials conduct electricity). And I didn't get it all over my hands!

I even still had energy when I got home. I put that into deep cleaning the bedroom and ensuite bathroom, doing a load of laundry, cooking dinner, and baking a loaf of cheddar & sundried tomato bread. My kitchen smells amazing. 😋

Relaxing until my partner comes home, then we are going to watch Star Trek: Voyager. :D
 
Happy today because I'm off work and it actually reached the 80's Fahrenheit here in Texas and it's sunny, but with a bit of a breeze, which is amazing weather for February to be honest. The Dallas Stars defeated the Columbus Blue Jackets yesterday 5-3 to up their win streak to 5 games and are currently 3 points ahead of the Minnesota Wild for the 2nd playoff spot in the NHL Central Division. I got my blood drawn at the doctor's as well just now and it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be (I had a bad experience or two in the past). Planning on eating some lunch and brewing some coffee using my espresso machine. Oh, also! I FINALLY got back into ACNH the other day and my villagers on Sumeru were so happy to see me. I have more free time on my hands lately, so I'm going to make an effort to log on there every week and make more improvements to my island. Hope everyone has a great Monday! 💚
 
  • Got bloodwork done today. My vitamin D levels went up from a 9 to a 20. So they’re at the minimum healthy range now instead of severely deficient. Keeping taking my prescribed vitamin D so I can get it my levels up to med range which would be like 50.
  • I ordered something for express delivery the other day from Walmart and it was super late and beyond the time window and they refunded me the delivery fees today which was nice. I got a $27 refund. Using it towards cat food and some other essentials.
  • I had some general tsos today which were very good!
  • I’m gonna be running the coffee event in my building tomorrow so I’m looking forward to that
 
Got the time to sit down, organise the companies I had made a list of, located where they are - removed if too far - and looked for jobs, but also ones I could contact for any sort of work experience.
Applied to three jobs today, one was harder as it had some questions; but hoping they;re okay me sending cvs, cover letters to the same company, but under different departments.

Played a bit of Super Smash Bros and I think I am getting the hand of it now~ Also found the inkling girl and love to use her for battle!! Super fun!

Worked a tiny bit on my DIY project, and slowly on some writing.

I have a lot of animal crossing video tabs open that I need to finish watching haha. Hoping to get my tabs down to a limit, as I am using too many at the same time.
 
I haven’t posted in here since my short hiatus, but there’s a little I have to be happy about.

I saw the Dog Man movie premiere on Friday morning. My friend and I were the only ones in the theater, seeing as the intended audience (kids) would have been in school. I personally haven’t read the books but I saw a preview for the movie and thought it looked great.
I replaced my travel-sized lint roller since my old one broke. I’m happy it arrived so quickly.
I’m due for a raise at work in the next few weeks. I’m happy this job prioritizes performance and work ethic over seniority. There’s actually incentive here.
I was complimented recently and it made me smile.
 
I stg some of y’all on here are lineup wizards or something ;w; I’ve gotten so many lovely suggestions so far aaaa!!

I played Pokémon Omega Ruby for a while today! I caught Torkoal, then made a trip back to Granite Cave now that I have a bike, so I could catch Mawile for my main team as well!! I spent the rest of that time doing Super Training/a little bit of Pokémon Amie with them, so I haven’t made it much further story-wise ahahaha

Saw some new official art of one of my faves!! 💙

Made a little bit of progress on one of my art WIPs!

My family and I watched another video in LDShadowLady’s Empires S1 series, and my mom and I caught up with one of CoryxKenshin’s newer videos afterwards!
 
my appointment with my neurologist that i have been waiting many months for finally came today! i was told that it would be around a week for the eeg scan and a couple weeks to a month for the mri scan and i can say im quite excited to finally start seeing some results. living with these episodes/attacks constantly happening and not knowing the reason or the cause has been very exhausting and mentally deteriorating, so knowing that i may just finally start finding the root of the problem after over a year of this happening is very relieving and soothing. :lemon:💗

edit: meant eeg scan, not emf

I’m feeling much better today; I think yesterday I forgot to take my medicine 😅. I remember telling myself that I’ll take it once I eat and am back upstairs in my room but I think I forgot 🤦‍♀️.

My mom is finally home from watching my nieces for a couple days and nights at my sister’s.

Both my girls snuggled with me a little today ☺️. When I was trying to sleep, I could hear them wrestling and running through the cat tunnel, down the stairs and back up. It made me happy to hear them playing since when I’m awake, usually only Spanky wants to play and Jewels wants to be lazy lol.

In Genshin today I got really good rewards from a trounce domain; I got all the possible boss materials from the Knave plus a dream solvent (which I usually have terrible luck getting to drop).

I chatted a little with a few friends on here; I’m really happy to see everyone again ☺️. Had a nice chat with @Xara too! ☺️

@Tude has been really kind and patient about me needing time away and kept the cards we were trading on hold even though she didn’t have to 🙂. Thank you so much!

I got a lot of the garden event done in pocket camp; I just need to pick a bunch more flowers and plant them and then I’ll be done 🙂.

I’m looking forward to the weekend for more Among Us 🙂 (still need to check my schedule). I hope I can unlock my derpy dragon pet and space kitty soon; please cooperate this weekend connection 🤞🍀🍀.
 
- Glad that Monday is over! Now to just get through today and the two worst days of the week are done 😅

- I applied for my provisional drivers licence on Friday, and it's already been approved. I'm happy since the website told me the photo I used had too much glare (I just have a shiny face 🫢). Happy bc I can start driving lessons, plus I needed another photo ID that isn't my passport. Also glad because my mum sent off her passport to be renewed and mailed her old one off, so fingers crossed that gets approved in time for our holiday in June lmao. I made the renewal application for her so I'm glad we got it done.

- The days are quickly getting longer!! It was still a bit light outside when I left work at 5:30pm yesterday
 
- I had some steamed momos with aloo gobi for dinner that tasted yummy.
- Read a book and I admired the plot.
- Completed a group presentation at uni for an online class. I'm glad that my group and I were prepared ahead of time, so hopefully we'll receive a good grade.
- My sister dropped off her kitty last night and he was being really sweet.
 
Happy today because I got up early and have been productive at work. My colleague's been making me laugh again, and I'm covering for one of them tomorrow. The house is also clean, and with the conclusion of my doctor's appointment, I now don't have to worry about any health-related appointments for a while. The Dallas Stars also play the Anaheim Ducks tonight, going for their 6th win in a row! Hope everyone has a great Tuesday! 🏒 🔥 💚
