Good things that happened in the last week (Sept 19th - 26th, 2025)

In an effort to combat the depression, I have decided I'm going to make a list each Friday of good things that have happened over the last week because it is terribly easy to focus on only the bad and none of the good.

• I am officially starting a project to build my own desktop PC. Still very nervous because I've never done this before, but if I can come out of it with a PC that does everything I need it to do and then some, then it'll be worth it.
• A kind person on r/buildapcforme was able to provide me a potential build within my budget; I've already gone and ordered the monitor they listed because it was on sale and if I didn't order it quickly, it was gonna be $100 more, and I'm planning to slowly order each of the other parts I need over the next two weeks.
• While waiting for the parts, I'm going to work on finally cleaning up the rest of my bedroom; while some of it is to make sure dust and other yuck doesn't damage the hardware of my new PC, I've found any time I made a significant dent in the mess that is my room, I feel so much better.
• The trailer for the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate Update + DLC dropped, which will be coming out on the 30th (I, unfortunately, don't plan on getting it until my copy of the physical Pipin’ Hot Collector’s Edition arrives in late October.)
• With how much my mental health has been impacting my ability to run the TMNT 2003 community server I'm the admin of, my friends have done. So. Much. to make sure I'm able to take the break I need while ensuring that things are still running smoothly. I cannot thank them enough ;v;
• Spirit City: Lofi Sessions continues to prove itself the single most relaxing, helpful program I have ever bought (although I do tend to get distracted customizing my character and my virtual space more than I care to admit XD)

Good luck with the PC build! My younger brother did that for a gaming PC as a teen, and I remember he was so happy with the outcome-- He still recommends the process to me sometimes, in fact!

I'm glad your friends are being so helpful so you can take the mental health break you need! Those are good friends, right there!
