A stupid meme. |
I had bubble tea for the first time! I thought it was okay (not sure if I'd get it again) but it's still fun to try new things.
|
getting reduced hours at work. normally that isn't something to be happy about, but a) i'm not really happy about my job and b) i'm looking for a different one anyway, so this gives me extra time to find another. c:
|
Ordered some winter sweaters online, and now I'm excited for them to arrive
|
Similar to above, also ordered myself some clothes as an early birthday present to myself and they arrived today. I'm happy with what I got even if my bank account is a little less than before. :D
Trying bubble tea for the first time is exciting @ above. Bubble tea always makes me happy. |
My partner sending me unexpected and heart-lifting messages this morning, and receiving my first volume of Witch Hat Atelier in the mail! :)

Discontinued a medication. Worked quite poorly, but not poorly enough to warrant dropping it immediately. (Likens it to taking cold medicine when you do not have a cold, then suffering mild cold symptoms from the medicine. Presumably fended off worse symptoms.) Idled on that for about three months total. Walked on eggshells most of that time. Finally handed off the ball to something new.
May or may not be better. Certainly ought to be, though. Stated directly on the past medication's prescription paperwork that it was not intended to treat this disease. (Thanks, insurance.) |
My Taraglia cosplay showed up and I felt extremely manly wearing it, despite how suffocating and heavy it felt to wear.
|
Seeing an amibo card opening on youtube and seeing Tiansheng as the first villager pulled and thinking "Dang, he'd be cool if I had AC:NH." Yeah, Shaha and Raymond are cool too, but that boi Tiansheng made me smile. Also, on youtube, discovering "K.K. Robot Synth." That K.K. song is so GOOD it slams HARD!
Should I keep my Switch now just to get AC:NH? Idk? Doubt i'll keep mine for just those two reasons, but now it's so tempting. Jeeeeeeze. |
How breathtaking this silver looks. My mom has brought up a lot of old antiques silver pieces she got as wedding presents. We're restoring them and arranging them in the dining and living room for the holidays. There were cups that looked like tar from rust, but with a little polish they have just dropped my jaw. Now that is what you call a diamond in the rough. Gorgeous! I'm getting Lothlorien vibes from the silverware.
There's beauty everywhere I turn. I am just in love with the autumn leaves. The trees are all fire and gold-colored. I need to go out with my camera and shoot the landscape! All these colors are making me happy. |
Failing a level in the very first second cause of a user mistake
Idk whether to laugh or live the rest of my life in shame |

Good news for the health of a loved one who was diagnosed with colon cancer last year. He was successfully treated last winter, and I heard today that he recently got results from his colonoscopy and is still cancer free, got a clean bill of health, and doesn't need to schedule another visit for the next 3-5 years :)

Thank you to whoever randomly traded away a haunter. My little cousin was so happy to receive a Gengar. It's such a kind thing to do. I know they likely don't use pokecommunity, mostly speaking rhetorically.

My covid booster was painless. I never knew I could receive an injection without feeling the needle.

I started watching Steins;Gate Zero.
The opening hit like a baseball bat. But in a good way. |
I found 20 euro in my jeans.

Finished 90% of a design project in one sitting.
At the cost of 90% of my energy of course. Time to hit the hay lol. |
Good news from my mom's doctors. Last year they discovered that she had a pituitary tumor. It was not cancerous, which was a huge relief, but because it was really big and the position of it was awkward it could still cause medical problems for her. They decided to monitor the tumor, and said that it was imperative that it stay the same size, if it grew any larger they would want to perform opperation because the size and placement of tumor would put so muh pressure on the optical nerves that it could make her blind, though the surgery was not without risks of it's own. Today was the day we found out if she would have to have surgery or not. The answer is no. Not only did the tumor not grow, but it appears to be dying. The doctors rushed in really excited, and said that it's almost unheard of for this to happen, for a tumor like this to just go away like this without any medical procedure. It honestly feels like a miracle. My mom and I were hugging and kissing. I'm ecstatic.

That above post made me pretty damn happy. But I came here to mention that my fiancé teaches immigrants English in his spare time… so he got like four of his professors from his master’s program, who are all immigrants themselves (two from India, one from China, and idr the last) to come and act as sort of.. show them what they can be capable of in America, no matter the race, gender, or age. Tonight was the first night this happened and it was so, so touching to hear. I don’t think that moment will ever leave me. |
Did a full on workout routine for the first time in over a year. Every part of my body is aching and screaming at me right now, but I'm happy with myself.

Hanging a beautiful Christmas wreath on my front door with pine cones, holly berries, lots of greenery and silver threads. Also enrolling a nice new earth toned carpet and spreading out on it with the family dog :)

Had a nice bowl of cereal just now <3

I got an extension on a 3 page essay paper.

The scrumptious scent of this White Bamboo tea. It's a peach, mango rooibos tea. I'm glad that it's been added to the pantry, the fragrance is so enchanting that it leaves this relaxed grin on my face, and blends nicely with cloves, rosehips and cranberry juice, and makes have peaceful dreams. Sipping on these warm, sweet flavors has bent my lips into a great, big smile
I also was really happy to read that by buying this tea I am supporting a women-owned business that grows organically from their own gardens, and puts the money it makes back into the community to support medical centers and schools, scholarships for girls and business opportunities in the villages where the tea is grown. That all sounds good to me! |
I saw the International Space Station during the 7 minutes when it flew over the Canary Islands.

Being told that my hair looked "so pretty, and curly"
Also driving by some lovely Christmas light decorations this evening. There was one display with lots of blue and silver lights made to look like a flowing river with swans swimming in it. I couldn't help but smile also when another car drove past me, and there were these really friendly and happy-looking kids in the backseat who kept waving at me, and smiling. They looked like two golden blonde cherubs, and their merry mood and holiday spirit was contagious. |
Enjoying fast signal + a place to charge via my aunt's restaurant that she manages. At least our family gets to enjoy charged phones and power banks for a little while longer.

I was able to write a full chapter for my novel in progress this morning before work.
Also I went to the grocery store during lunch hour to get some grub, and in the parking lot a musician was playing the violin. They were performing Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah. It sounded so good! |
Cold air in the morning, therefore I don't sweat as much anymore. Lotsa simple things bring me joy right now :3
|
Slowly sinking my teeth into one of these absolutely decadent chocolate brownies I got from whole foods. It's guilt-free too, no butter, eggs, milky or anything like that in it. This stuff is good, so fudgy. I got this big Cheshire cat smile on my face, I'm in heaven, and anyone who tries one of these brownies moans in delight. I take a bite, tell myself that it tastes so rich I'll only eat part of it, before I know it, i have eaten a whole brownie

My Chansey evolved into a Blissey. Friendship-based evolutions are my favorite, a reminder of the road we have traveled together and our caring for one another. I worked so hard to help her reach this stage, holding that soothe bell. Her name is Kuan Yin. I gave her the name of the Buddhist bodhisattva who personifies karuna (compassion and mercy) because of how kind this Pokemon is known to be.

A rather successful family diner <3 My aunt and uncle, despite being sworn enemies, actually talked to each other earlier :D

This is for yesterday but got through the first day of my internship! The work is so interesting and I like the people I'm working with. I had so much anxiety about what it'd be like but it ended up being OK. I'm glad I tried to push myself to be more confident and start convos as me and another intern there hit it off as friends super well. I am still nervous but I think I'm getting better, haha. Uni has really forced me to talk to a lot of new people and whilst it was incredibly uncomfortable at first I think I'm enjoying it once I got more of a feel for it.
And I got bubble tea on the way home and Indian food for dinner so it was a good day. Happy to have achieved one of my goals for 2022. :D |
My friend sent me a birthday gift and it came today! She got me a cool figurine of Gojo (from jujutsu kaisen) because she knows damn well how much I love that character.

The food smell of my downstairs neighbours lol !

I'm the only one at work today, I only have to work for 4 hrs (3 left) and I'm getting paid time and a half for pretty much playing on my Switch and listening to music :D

I saw a moving doc this morning about a gentle little boy in Brazil named Luan, and the dedicated family who took care of him. When he was born there was in the middle of his face a mass of tissue that looked like a tumor the size of a fist. The condition was explained as the baby's skull not fully closing like it's supposed to during the last few weeks of his mother's pregnancy, so he had brain tissue literally coming out and protruding from his skull. For two years no local doctor would operate on Luan, and it was getting worse where the kid was suffering seizures, and at risk of going blind because the tissue was covering his eyes, and he could also easily die from infections like meningitis because he had a hole in his head, and nothing to protect the membranes.
His mother would not stop searching for help, and would go to different cities appealing for experts to take up her son's case, until they found a great brain surgeon who was willing to perform a procedure on Luan. It was a risky operation, where they had to preserve the healthy tissue and put it back in his skull, and seal the open skull with a titanium plate, and give him a shunt to drain the brain fluid that was building up, but this brave boy's surgery was a complete success story. I didn't recognize him afterward, and he's in a good health-- they said his recovery was remarkable, and I think he looks like he's going to be a handsome young man when he's finished healing and grows up. His loved ones say he's laughing and happy. I was so relieved, and glad for him and his family. I had a smile on my face at the end of the video. |

I was about to cancel on a friend who I had a coffee date planned with. I decided last minute NOT to cancel, went and met up with her and had a great time! Haven't seen her in a while and her boyfriend was at work so it was the perfect opportunity for us to catch up.

It was neat seeing pikachu have it's old cry back.

I'm drawing something WAY outside my comfort zone and it's looking pretty good so far (considering I've never drawn that before). Also I bought something online from a Japanese clothing store!

I read a news article from BBC this morning about a policy getting overturned in Tanzania that banned people from continuing school if they got pregnant and had children. They interviewed a young woman named Esnath who had been thrown out of the classroom because she had a child, but now the law has been changed, and nobody can stop her from completing her education. She looked happy in the video with her kids, and she is preparing to become a lawyer. That's pretty awesome.

I set up a new account on Pokemon Showdown. One of my first opponents messages me "Why are you getting so lucky? Kill yourself you fatherless fuck". Got me there.
Being that upset, you would think we were competing in the winter olympics. Not 1,100 elo random battles. Then he forfeited. |

Today has been kind of a special day actually, I have to make a post here... first of all, my exam went pretty well, I think! Missed some stuff here and there but I was able to give a very thorough explanation on one question and it just looked nice to see all of that stuff laid out on the paper!
Second, I met a rather special person today, even if it was all kind of organized on the spot and all that! And finally, I got kind of a special present... that's all I can say though! |
Luvdisc <3

I stayed up until 5:30 in the morning to watch a DJ stream of my favorite music group (Hardcore TANO*C) and I regret NOTHING! This is my first time watching one of their long streams and I'll definitely be coming to watch the next ones whenever they are. It was so much fun to listen to the artists' music, and I had a lot of fun talking with people in their Discord server during the stream. I've never talked that much in that server ever (I usually just send memes). Also they left the best act for last and it was SO HYPE! All his songs were ABSOLUTE bangers. I'm a little bummed because I missed the first three acts and part of the fourth, but they left the stream on their channel so I'll have to watch it later. (Honestly I'm not that tired, and I don't know if I should be concerned about that... )

Just waking up, even if it was by my cat.
|
Me and my man went out to sit by the river in the sunshine and just talk and laugh and enjoy life and the starlight for a while. Don't underestimate small precious moments.

I finished a drawing of my OC!

My mother in law gave me chocolate. :)

My big affectionate, noble loyal dog licking my hand and covering me with his kisses as I listen to music on my mattress. Also continuing to get kind notes from long time friends this February. I have a big grin on my face typing this thinking about everyone. <3
