What Are You Happy About Today?

Tuesday, March 18, 2025
  • Went for an Ultrasound on my hands, fingers and wrists this morning with a Rheumatologist specialist. I got the appointment via post during November so I was happy that today finally arrived. I previously attended him for an Ultrasound and found out more in that one appointment than attending my regular consultant/nurse on a regular basis. After the scan, I was told my joints do have inflammation and it needs to be calmed down. He offered me 2 options: to have steroids injections or to get a course of tablets. I didn’t expect any offer today as I thought I would have to contact and plead with my Rheumatology Nurse again. I opted for the tablets, as I’ve had the injections before and didn’t work. It’s only a temporary measure for relief, but I've been asking for help from my ‘care team’ only to fall on deaf ears. I call them, they say they will call back but haven't done so. He also told me if I didn’t hear from my consultant or nurse in about 3 weeks to contact them to see what options we can take to proceed before the temporary medication runs out. Hopefully I can collect them in a few days!
  • Got Blossom some new toys, a hat and Easter treats. Will they last until Easter? Probably not! :ROFLMAO:
  • Tried 2 new variations of Pepsi: Strawberries and Cream, and Cream Soda. Both were nice, but the Cream Soda one was my favourite!
  • Got a Japanese Import CD of Sir Elton John and Billy Joel - Live in Tokyo (1998). Really great fun to hear Elton singing Uptown Girl!

I finished another application today :D not the feature article yet, soon I guess. Or tomorrow.
Found it hard enough to know what to write for the headline.

Had a voice chat with a few friends, been a while to hear them in real time. :D They're playing a game i dont have which i dont mind; i was writing anyways.

Excited for dinner~
 
I feel weird sometimes posting so sporadically in this thread, but today was too good to not post about. >w<

- Work was a breeze, I didn't get stressed about anything and I had a relatively calm shift. I also got to close early, giving me time to do some grocery shopping... I got lots of junk food, haha.

- Whilst shopping at another store, I got some mailing supplies and a crochet craft kit! I've been wanting to get into crocheting (thanks to Suguri!), but I felt apprehensive buying kits online. I'm really excited to get started! 🧶🪡

- My dad's best friend had a ton of CDs lying around, and he gave them to me! I plan on keeping a few and giving away to my friends, but will have to figure out what to do with the rest. Needless to say, I'm super happy about adding these to my collection. 💿

- One of my packages should be at the post office, so I'm looking forward to stopping by during my next day off. Can't wait! 📦

- Also had a delicious dinner, so I feel satisfied from that. 😋

- A few days ago, I bought Stardew Valley for one of my friends, and we got to play together! It was pretty fun, and I look forward to our next session. 🎮

- Yesterday, I finally finished the birthday drawing for Suguri. I'm quite proud of my piece, and it warms my heart seeing my partner so happy. 🥰

- In general, I'm just glad that I had a good day and I wasn't feeling horrible about anything. Days like these are rare.

I caught Terrakion, finished the Delta Episode, and wrapped up my playthrough of Pokémon Omega Ruby after just a little over 51 hours! c: This was my first experience with any of the Hoenn games and it didn’t disappoint—I really had a blast with this one!

My parents and I watched SmallishBeans’ latest Hermitcraft episode this evening, along with some other shorter videos on Youtube!
 
Talked to my bosses today about leaving the company in a few months and it went well!!! so I'm very happy knowing I can move on from remote work later this year (big part of what has me dissatisfied with life right now plus other things but that's the main thing lol)
 
Today has been rough but still had a few things that made me happy 🙂.

Earlier I did a more pulls for a collab ark that I didn’t have, I got the ark and also a character that I didn’t have (forgot to take screenshot of the character; I didn’t care if I got this character but I’m happy that I did). I haven’t played any of the mana games yet outside this collab but I’m still interested, at least Secrets of Mana (I think that is what the one I’m interested in is called). First I need to finish all the other games I have though 😅.

I was able to get a bit more sketching done recently for Xara’s drawing. Still stuck on the same part but small progress still is something to be happy about 🙂. I hope I can get more done soon.

I got some more cute items in pocket camp. I crafted two star chairs and the spellcaster set; I honestly wasn’t too excited about today’s selection that Cyrus had but I do at least like these two items. I really hope the shoveltusk quarry has the limited craft essences again soon since I’m going through my materials again 😅. I’m impatient for the next new set of fortune cookies to be available too.

Edit: Almost forgot to mention that @Zerous made me a tiny Neuvillette :D I love it so much ☺️. Thank you so much 🫶.

That’s it for now. I hope this week gets better.

Today was a really nice day off. Was able to sleep in a little. Took Aurora to the park for her morning walk. Met a friend I hadn’t seen in awhile and it was nice to catch up.

Spent some time this afternoon and evening playing Pokemon Violet. Found a few shiny Pokemon. 2 Shiny Lapras and a Shiny Porygon.

Went grocery shopping and picked up a pizza on the way home for dinner.
Aurora got to see her friend Lucy on our evening walk.
Hope everyone is having a good week.

I'm someone who focuses on specific interests for an indeterminate amount of time before my focus shifts to a different interest. I'm also someone who likes to let content build up so I can binge watch stuff.

I hadn't watched Drawfee stuff in quite a while and have been binge watching some of the videos I've missed. It's nice to be able to, for just a little while, take my mind off the awful stuff going on in the world this year and be able to laugh heartily.
 
I made my biggest ever individual sale!! 🎉 Hoping it gets to the buyer safely and quickly 🙏

I’m done breeding dandelions and roses in Pocket Camp Complete!! With the quick and easy flowers out of the way, I’m moving on to pansies next!

Worked on some art for a little bit!

I got some more grinding in towards the Master Trader achievement in Minecraft! I should hopefully get it soon... hopefully...

Watched some Youtube with my parents this evening! My mom and I caught up with Danny Gonzalez’s new video on his second channel, and we got to see Markiplier’s R.E.P.O video too!

Started playing Style Savvy: Trendsetters!!

And I should’ve been getting ready for bed, but instead I got distracted playing Google’s card game versus the moon ahaha 😅 I don’t think I’m very good at strategy stuff like this, but I did collect all the wildcards (and made it up to level 7 once)!!
 
Today wasn’t bad. I enjoyed chatting with everyone for a bit on tbt’s discord; I loved seeing everyone’s cats 😺.

Today I maxed Wriothesley’s elemental burst, making him my second triple crowned character in Genshin :D. I should be able to get Raiden’s triple crowned soon too. She was going to be my next one but then came Wriothesley’s banner which changed my plans. Honestly been too tired and stressed to play Genshin much, but hopefull the rest of this week will continue to get better.

I’m really looking forward to this weekend’s Among Us sessions; I’m hoping we have enough for classic again so we can try out everyone’s suggestions :D.

My mom forgot that I wanted potato pancakes so she put down the ingredients she needs on her grocery list; so we should be having them sometime this week or next week 🙂.

I’ve been pretty much taking it easy this week because how stressed I’ve been and it has definitely helped a lot along with talking to someone.

I’m really curious about this upcoming event. I’m still not quite back in the mood as I was before the last week or two, but I’m sure I’ll enjoy once it starts 🙂.

That’s it for now.
 
Hi TBT! I'm back once again! I had to take some time off because of life stuff, but now that I've returned in time for Sakura Week (I was going to come back on the 29th...and then on the 21st...but I changed my mind after a while), I got some highlights from the last few days to share!

3/17/2025
  • My partner @ZeldaCrossing64 drew me something awesome for my birthday! Well, I had to wait a bit longer for it because they were going through a lot (my actual birthday was on March 6), but it was worth the time! 💜
    I really appreciate how they went out of their way to include my OCs and the bluebird and my favorite video game characters! (Especially Ogerpon!!) The balloons are also a nice touch, and the choice of cookies 'n cream cake was pretty sick. I love the details overall!

  • I finished my painting project for art class! We started it about a month ago (I can't remember), and I really tried my best on it even though I prefer drawing over painting. It looks a little funky, but I still like the final result.
  • My sister bought Hawaiian take-out! I haven't had Hawaiian cuisine in a while, and it felt nice to eat chicken katsu and rice again. The french fries were especially tasty!
  • Char told me they bought themselves a crochet kit, and I'm so excited to see how their project will come out! 🧶
3/19/2025
  • I learned about the upcoming Lego Pokémon collab and I am STOKED!! I didn't expect it to be possible since Mega Bloks already has Pokémon sets of their own, but it happened anyway and it was such a pleasant surprise. I'm already excited for next year now (that's when they'll release) because not only will it be the 30th anniversary of my favorite video game franchise, but I'm also going to be a legal adult by then!! 🧱💛🎉 and I will die of happiness if they release sets with Kieran and Ogerpon in the future-
  • My mom cooked eggrolls and they tasted great!
  • I got to chat a bit with my love and they sent me many virtual hugs. 🥰🫂💜
  • I'm looking forward to Sakura Week! I'm so grateful for the event starting in a few days instead of much later and the bell bonus. 🌸💰

Update: Unfortunately after I wrote this, I decided to skip the event. :( I didn't want to get more overwhelmed since I already have homework to worry about, but thankfully my partner was willing to help me get my desired flowers (purple hyacinth and maybe a gold rose), so I sent some of mine over to them.

As for what I'm happy about today? The opportunities I got to work on a short story I began writing about a week ago. I plan on posting it in my art thread when I'm satisfied with it! And since I don't consider myself a good writer, it's going to take a while. 📝

Despite not feeling better compared to yesterday, I'm still doing my best to stay positive. I hope I'll feel better soon.

There has been a couple things that made me happy today so far.

Last night I did some more pulls in a game and I got the ark that I’ve wanted for a few years and got a new unit.

I just realized that one of my favorite characters is in the artwork for this; just not in the armor that I liked best. I still wish they didn’t reveal his face tbh 😔.

I got another unit in these pulls, but he wasn’t one I ever wanted 😅; but on a plus, getting him to level 100 will give me crystals.

IMG_1726.png

I admit though as much as I hate him in the story (not to mention that I’m not a fan of his design), I can’t deny the artwork for him looks great.

From a pull on a different day, I got:

I lowkey wanted her before I got the new Sera unit since s even though I already had a good healer since I read both have different roles and in some of the modes, another top healer would be extremely helpful. I found out too that I can’t use both versions of sera in that mode.

Also just wanted because I love the artwork and collecting units ofc.

I also got one of my favorite units weapons upgraded using the godforge alchemy; just need to fully enhance it. Also got two upgrades for his accessories 🙂.

My mom bought me two croissants earlier from a bakery nearby - unfortunately my dad ate one of them (he didn’t even ask), but I got to eat at least the ham and cheese one. It was so good!

I got some snuggles from my girls today and played with them. I also saw them playing when they were both on the cat tower; it looked like Jewels was bullying Spanky 😅😹😹😹. Spanky is sleeping in her pineapple bed now and Jewels is on my bed ☺️.

That’s it for now. Might have more to post later 🙂
