The smell of wild peace silk. It's quite natural and woody in character. I like it. I ordered these yards of fabric from a small business on Etsy to make a scarf or shawl out of, it and it's nice. The color is called spun honey. I was glad to find this because peace silk/ahimsa is made without killing the silk worms, so no harm was done to the environment. Worth a smile.

ZeoStar May 8th, 2021 8:02 AM

I'm now fully vaccinated. I got my second Pfizor shot this morning.

Sothis May 9th, 2021 2:09 AM

My brother's adding on to his house so we may be able to move in.

Starlight May 9th, 2021 5:48 AM

A friend doing really well :)

mikey May 9th, 2021 3:50 PM

I surprised my mom for Mother's Day and she was really happy I made the trip to see her.

RadEmpoleon May 10th, 2021 5:45 AM

Today is the day grades are due, and I have all A's and one B (which was a C yesterday) for this quarter! Hopefully they'll all average out with the third quarter grades to be all A's (except for that one B).

Janp May 11th, 2021 1:48 AM

This happened few days ago, but it resurfaced on my mind right now...

My gf wanted to try Pokémon GO, so she installed it, picked Bulbasaur as her starter and said Charmander is her least favourite, based on their design.

And then we both got shiny Marill.

ZeoStar May 11th, 2021 5:08 PM

I enjoyed reading all the different opinions on changes that should be made to the Forum Games section.

Medical procedures can be scary as fuck, even if they’re completely routine. Speaking as someone who gets major anxiety over even the simplest of check ups, I’m proud of you! Your post made me happy. :)

ZeoStar May 14th, 2021 1:46 PM

I had no idea what colonoscopy means, so I googled it.

ouch

it looks like Jimmy Kimmel had one

Watched the video of that now. Will add to it:

Spoiler: Spoilered for those who do not want to hear

- Warned against chugging the prep solution. Probably leads to nausea/vomitting, two common side effects. Worried about this due to suffering from gastrointestinal issues as is. (Led to said colonoscopy.) Managed okay, fortunately.

- Drank the prep solution (diluted to 16 ounces/~473 milliliters) plus two more 16 ounce glasses of clear liquids, all within two hours. Woke up at 3 AM to do this a second time too.

- Witnessed a parent deal with a different prep solution several years ago. Received a gallon-sized jug to mix it up in.

- Agrees on the vile taste. Describes it as weak grape Gatorade with a bitter edge. (Dislikes grape-flavored drinks.) Cut the taste down somewhat with Koolaid.

- Remembers almost nothing between starting the anesthesia and returning home. Apparently repeated questions and retold how another experience with anesthesia went. (Dealt with anesthesia once before. Removed some of the fear.)

- Received pictures from the colonoscopy. Could totally frame them. (Will not.)

Met a very nice person today and we traded Pokémon. It put a big smile on my face today.

My ear is becoming unblocked. I've been nearly deaf in my left ear for a week because of fluid build up. Urgent Care gave me medicine to drain it out, finally it's getting a bit of air.

Starlight May 19th, 2021 5:52 PM

My aunt heard I had been ill, so she and my uncle came by and brought me bags of groceries and medicine this evening. It was much appreciated!

ZeoStar June 2nd, 2021 2:00 PM

An older family member agreed to look over my cover letter and job resume.

VisionofMilotic June 2nd, 2021 5:18 PM

Being told that my cooking was good. I'm self-conscious about it, so that's a relief to know I didn't botch it up this time.

Aslan June 3rd, 2021 11:50 PM

They were giving out free donuts when I was heading home today! I think the frantic texts I sent to my friends being like "free dout" and "GET IT" capture how exciting it was. Highlight of my day :D

Half price pokemon cards and taking some of my critters outside to get some natural vit D

My dog was feeling spry enough today to try to run up the stairs. I didn't let him--he's an older dog that needs to take care so he doesn't trip, but I was glad to see him full of energy, looking quite happy and overall healthy :)

Retek June 8th, 2021 2:06 AM

Was feeling down today, when my friend rick-rolled me.

Always puts a smile on my face.
He just knows how to cheer me up! :D

Hearing from my boyfriend on the phone after a recent panic attack. Even though the panic attack was less than five minutes, my mind went dark for a good half hour to an hour afterwards. Then he called being his goofy self and things were fine afterwards.

Successfully assembled the new cat carrier.
I take pride in small stuff.

Randomly stumbling upon Jolteon in New Snap. Just need to find flareon now and I'll have seen all eeveelutions =D
Pretty sure it's in the volcano area, but I haven't gone back there yet.

Was also pleasantly surprised by how easy I completed the photodex for a certain boss mon I was dreading to do:

The 4 star shot was pure luck and had me wondering what was going on offscreen (since it's head was not on it) though.

being able to see so many familiar faces again around this forum. :) it's somewhat comforting, like seeing an old friend after years. (which is actually right on the nose but nevermind that)

Finding a very simple and fun recipe for vegetable kabobs. I made it today, and was pleasantly surprised. It tasted quite nice.

From my entire birthday, the highlight was making our waitress super happy.

I told her she did an excellent job, and we were lucky to have her as our server.

She told me it made her day and gave me a hug.

Astinus July 6th, 2021 8:26 AM

Continuing on with the train of "good dogs" posts, my own dog made me so happy today. She's gone from a anxious dog who's afraid of everything to a dog that's a little more confident. Able to handle a lot of sudden disruptions to her life. Like today, another dog lunged at her, and she didn't hide or run away. She knew that I'd take care of her so she wouldn't have to worry.

VisionofMilotic July 6th, 2021 6:27 PM

Eating a little soft, nice and fluffy, moist bit of lemon pound cake that my aunt brought me from the farmer's market, and listening to my mother tell stories about her childhood about cake.

She said she walked to the library a lot as a little girl to read, and would on the way visit an aunt who lived nearby. She said her aunt Flora would bake her fresh, homemade pound cake whenever she saw her, and my mom swears it tasted something like this one. It was a sweet moment.

Didn't happen today but on Monday I've chopped off 16 inches of my hair and I'm extremely satisfied with the result; it's so light and it's so me and I refuse to shut up about it. ;; What happened today was styling it close to an FF14, which btw has a free tria-, hairstyle and while it's far from perfect, I'm still proud of what I've done, esp since I've never styled hair much before let alone short hair.

Also, been doing garden ornaments restoration and art in general as well as making other's happy always makes me happy.

The bright, pleasant scent of fresh lemons in my home, and my mom telling me she made some fresh lemonade. I wore an even bigger smile when I tasted it. It was just delicious! She made it just perfectly today, some of the best I have ever had. I gave her a kiss for it. I can't remember the last time I drank lemonade, what a splendid summer treat. I also couldn't help but smile as she waxed nostalgically about how her mother used to make a hot lemon tonic for her when she was feeling under the weather, supposedly it was a miracle cure.

This was yesterday but I hope I can share regardless. I did super well on a law exam that was a major part of my mark for this subject and I cannot even describe how happy I was yesterday. I think I was in a state of shock for a few hours when I opened the e-mail. Like that was my exam?!?!?! Are you sure

I've been feeling extremely stressed and burnt out the past semester so it helped me feel a lot better. I've just been so behind on work this semester as I haven't been in the headspace to deal with school at all. My parents even bought me Japanese takeaway for dinner from my favourite restaurant which was super thoughtful and nice. Things are getting super busy again so I'm hoping this will help me feel better and push through. :D

i called out of work today bc i wasn't feeling well, plus the Wonderful time of the month caused me to stain the sheets, so i wanted to just sleep all morning, but i had to get up and wash those and the comforter that was under it. my partner made up the clean side of the bed for me and tucked me in. he works from home so he kept checking in on me and bringing me water...he ate lunch with me, he made me coffee in the afternoon and bought me chicken nuggets for dinner. hard to smile when i feel like ass, but those little acts of love managed some out of me today.
