What Are You Happy About Today?

I had no idea that tonight’s maintenance for Persona 5 Phantom X brought Futaba’s banner; was really excited to see that. I haven’t been playing much lately so was also happy I had enough saved for her and her weapon since she is one of my favorite Persona 5 characters.

It didn’t take too long to get her; it took me awhile to get her weapon; didn’t expect to get two 😳🥳.

This definitely cheered me up a bit. Still anxious about the stuff that happened to our basement and tired of how my dad treats us but, hopefully we’ll know soon when we can get everything fixed.

More importantly, Spanky let Jewels sleep next to her on my bed so I think things are getting better now; fingers crossed it wasn’t because Spanky was tired and that tomorrow she will be back to being bff with Jewels again 🤞.

Still no shinies from my eggs in Pokemon sword. I’m hoping soon since I’m pretty sure I’ve hatched over 2k eggs by now.
 
Yesterday:
There was a double rainbow outside. Glad I caught a rare sight.

- Completed some sketches.

Today:
- I slept well today, probably because daylight savings time ended.
- Played Pokémon Legends: Z-A and reached Rank A.
 
My ovens broken at the moment and I'm kind of like a lost housewife without it. I bake and roast so much food but I've really had to rework my ideas since it's happened, so today I cooked some lovely potatoes with shallots and garlic in the slow cooker with fresh rosemary and then some steamed broccoli I fried. It was a nice way to still use the rest of what was in the cupboards without using the oven, which Id normally do in this case, and there was something really fun about getting the cooker out like 3 hours before lunch.
 
Some small things that made me happy recently:

I found out recently that a plush was restocked on a site that I’ve been checking for years since a friend told me about the plush. Was able to order it and one other plush from the same line yesterday as part of my christmas present from my mom. 🥳 Very grateful that my friend saw that and let me know 🙂.

Recent shinies in Pokemon sword:

Got this one on Thursday. 🥳

I was still trying to hatch eggs for something else that I was trying to get a shiny of at the same time as Toxel. I started hatching this one recently to have a ground type and I wanted to try to get all perfect ivs. I didn’t get one with perfect ivs but got a shiny even though I wasn’t trying to get one yet (also wasn’t using a foreign parent). Really nice surprise! 🥳

That’s it for now.
 
Yesterday I went to my sister’s house to play with the kittens and I had so much fun with the kittens. They’re getting so big. The orange tabby still has a bit of a belly 😸😹.

on the way home, went grocery shopping to pick up a few things. I found some pepperidge farm gingerbread cookies that I really like around this time of the year. I have some more grocery shopping to do on thursday and I plan on getting more; I’m so happy to see these in the store again.

Spanky sat on my lap a little just a bit ago; she very rarely sits on my lap so that makes me so happy when she does ☺️.

I saw earlier in a game I play that I did coop with someone that I thought was on my friend’s list but I think they removed me at some point since it gave me the send friend request after finishing it. I was a bit bummed to see that, but checked my notifications and saw they requested to be friends again which made me happy. I don’t know them but in the game you use other people’s units for the different modes and I often used theirs. My activity in the game has been kinda random since I go theough phases where I play a lot and then times I just log in and that’s it. it is so time consuming, I get burnt out often. Right now I’m still a bit burnt out but played this month’s coop so I can get some extra free gems even if they are very little and also the unit.

I’m happy my mom is back from my sister’s. I would’ve stayed there with her to watch the kittens but with the stuff happening to our house, I needed to be home with my cats since I can’t trust my dad with them or my room.

The last two days have been a bit better; I’m still stressed and overwhelmed but being away for part of the day yesterday from my dad helped.
 
I'm currently sick and still recovering, but for the first time in a few days I finally had enough energy to do something other than rest! I played a little Pikmin 4 with the new update, and I'm hopeful that tomorrow I’ll manage to get some work done from home. 😊
 
Early post before I try to get some sleep.

Today, the treasure map in this game I play started and I got enough gems to do one last pull on the banner for it. I was able to get the banner unit, an anniversary dual unit that I was missing and wanted, and one of the point boosters :D.

Last night I started playing a bit of this other gacha game again. Enjoyed playing that for a bit. I got a unit and the ark that I caved to pull for (wasn’t planning on pulling and was going to continue saving for a collab I like, but last minute decided to pull since he was a character I liked). I did see after that the ark was disappointing and the unit wasn’t a must have, but I’m still happy I got them though not too happy with using up most of my crystals that I was saving. Also got a UR ark from a free pull a couple of days ago, a new unit from a free ticket, a unit from the current collab banner. My game crashed during the pull and didn’t see I got her until last night.

That’s it for now!

So my local library is closing for refurbishment for quite a few months, it's still surprising. I was worried about the books I got out, but I can take them to other local libraries.

Anyways, I recently renewed the books online and the next deadline said August of next year! Which makes me happy, because yes I do want to read the books I have out, but I finally feel like I have time to read them and other books on my shelf I rather read first!! 😊
Haven't read anything in ages, and this is giving me more motivation to read again!
 
I’m still feeling a bit stressed and overwhelmed but today was not bad.

There are a couple things that I’m happy about today:

I wasn’t going to do more pulls until either Haru (who is coming up kinda soon) or Violet in Persona Phantom X but Queen and Fox both have a rerun right now. My game crashed when I pulled a second time, but I looked at my history and saw I got her 😳🥳. Pulled twice for her weapon (first one was with the free tokens) and I got her weapon and Ann’s :D

Game crashed so I couldn’t obviously get a screenshot of my pull, but here is her splash art.

I’m tempted to pull again for Fox and his weapon, but I am pretty sure I won’t be as lucky as I was with Queen and get him with so few pulls (don’t have enough left to go for pity). I honestly like his character a lot more than Queen’s, but I don’t really need him right now. Once I get Violet & Haru, I’ll save up for him though since I’d like all the Persona 5 characters and their weapons.

Our water pipe was fixed recently; just a few more days until we can let my girls out of my room. We’re keeping them in here for now since some other things need to be done and we don’t want to worry about the cats getting out.

I’ve been enjoying playing both Persona Phantom X two other gacha games. Just got caught up again to Persona Phantom X’s story; I had some trouble with the boss but was able to beat her earlier (very narrow win since my healer died and I had to start using more items which I wasn’t stocked up on).

I got some snuggles from one of my cats earlier 🥰.

That’s it for now.
 
- I ate some food from Wendy's that tasted yummy, especially the chicken tenders.
- Worked on some sketches and did some color swatches for a portrait drawing of a baby.
- Took a nap in the afternoon.
- Watched some NBA and I'm glad the Warriors beat the Spurs.
- Read a book with lots of useful tips on managing finances.
 
I’m happy that I purchased a wrap yesterday so I can wear my newborn. I tried it this morning and he loves it just as much as I hoped he would! He fell right to sleep and I feel human again that since I’m not stuck on the couch holding him while he sleeps. x) Was able to play Fortnite for an hour!
 
I am happy that both of my cats are patient enough for a "manicure"... is that the right term for trimming their nails? Hmm...

I clipped my cats Kreuger claws of pain, and I am always amazed when they are patient while I do one paw at a time!

I am happy I have no scratches!
 
Finally got a new screen protector and I can actually see my phone screen clearly now lol 🙏 I put it on a bit wonky but it gets the job done so it's alg. It's tempered glass, and it's honestly really satisfying to type on; the feel of it under my fingers is really smooth, way better than the plastic ones and fully enclosing case I've had/used before
