Filthy Casual for Life

If you asked me how I am doing, more times than not, I am depressed. That’s just the aftermath of having bipolar II. You pretty much stay in a constant state of depression with bits and pieces of clarity here and there.

My psychiatrist put me on a new medication and I’ve been in a better headspace. I am finding it easier to focus on the things that make me happy, so I thought I would share what is making me happy right now.

10. Apple Chips.

Have you ever had apple chips? If you haven’t, you should! They’re so tasty. They bring a smile to my face.

9. Tamon’s B-Side and Isekai Office Worker: The Other World’s Books Depend on the Bean Counter

There are A LOT of good anime shows this season, but I’ve been hooked on Tamon’s B-Side. It’s about a young idol who is sexy by day and a hot mess by night. I’m enjoying every episode and highly recommend it.

Another anime I have been hooked on is Isekai Office Worker: The Other World’s Books Depend on the Bean Counter. It should come as no surprise that I love this show. It’s boys’ love after all. It isn’t for everyone, but for me, it’s life.

8. Korean BBQ.

It is no secret that I love KBBQ. I just adore it.

7. Costco.

You know you’ve become an old, crotchety person when Costco shopping is one of your most favorite things to do. I love all of the great deals they have. Even our dogs rep Costco/Kirkland. Here is a picture of them in their Kirkland hoodies.

6. Miniso.

Miniso is a store that sells blind boxes, snacks, makeup, and other goods. They’re known for their collaborations with Sanrio, Miffy, and even BT21. I usually go every paycheck and pick up a new blind box. They’re not cheap.

5. Wolfpak.

I recently discovered Wolfpak backpacks. I have to thank targeted ads. I know people hate them, but they’ve brought me nothing but joy. I was on Instagram or Facebook when a targeted ad for a Hello Kitty collaboration with Wolfpak popped up. I thought nothing of it. After about an hour waffling on it, I bought the 4L sling bag for my trip to Aruba. Then, half an hour later, I bought the 25L backpack for my trip to Aruba. For some reason, I went back to the site and they were sold out of most of the bags! I didn’t know it was a one-time run. In other words, had I waited, I would have missed out on it. I’ve been having fun decorating the bag with my Sanrio charms.

4. Freebies.

I’ve been making bracelets to pass out at the BTS concert. I also made some photocards. I packaged them up in a little envelope and hope to pass them out while I am in line. It’s been fun and a good way to pass the time.

3. Sanrio.

I had to go with “Sanrio” because all of the main characters have been bring me joy. While I will always be a Hello Kitty girl, Kuromi has invaded and I am enjoying her. I’m also enamored with My Melody and Cinnamoroll.

2. Aruba

Just a couple of weeks and I’ll be on a cruise to Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao. I need a vacation badly. I need it for my mental health. As of February 7th, I have 21 more days!

1. BTS

How do I describe the love I have for BTS? They make me insanely happy. I watch their videos every day. I listen to them on the way to work. I listen to them while I work. They make me so very happy. I am still on cloud 9 knowing I will see them live in Arlington on August 15th. And, the tickets I got are pretty good. Definitely better than the view I had at the Permission to Dance concert in LA.

What’s making you happy right now? Feel free to share in the comments!
