Month: June 2020

Day 110.

At the beginning of the day all I did was catch up on my shows and movies. I finished Love, Victor. What a great story and cast! I love all the different personalities. The show also talks about important issues like family dynamics and one’s identity. Here’s hoping for season 2! Felix reminds me of a mix of Shawn Mendes and Harry Styles. Gordo from Lizzie McGuire too. He’s in my top 3 fave characters.

I woke up at a decent time, but I was feeling sluggish. Decided to fight through that by watching Us. Jordan Peele is a really good writer. I was intrigued the entire time. I still have some questions, but I’m sure other viewers can give me the answers. Afterwards, I took a nap. I slept for a few hours.

I had lunch as soon as I woke up. Our See’s Candies delivery arrived a day early. Scotchmallow, gummies, and chocolate! 😋 I wish I ordered rum nougat. Next time.

We also watched BlacKkKlansman! What a movie. Great cast as well. Adam Driver. 😍 I enjoy Spike Lee’s films. Definitely overlaps with the current events and political climate. I don’t understand the hatred and anger over someone’s identity. It makes me angry just thinking about it. Folx must do better. 🖤 #BlackLivesMatter

Tried A&W for the first time today. I got the coney dog and a root beer. Might have to do the root beer float next time. It’s refreshing!

Animal Crossing update: loan is almost paid off. The goal is to pay off about 10k bells each day. I’m getting there. Yes! I need to sell or give away clothing. My storage is full. I’ll figure it out. Lol.

Practiced my uke and needed a Stand By Me refresher. I remember it now so I’ll be practicing that some more this week.

Hoping to walk tomorrow. Still quite anxious, but I must face my fears. I’ll wear my mask and keep my distance from people!

That was my Tuesday. I need a good night’s sleep. Hope y’all had a nice one. Take care!

Good night.

Day 109.

Mentally I’m in a weird place. 😢 There’s so much pushing in my life at the moment. I’m still trying to enjoy my time off. I’m aware there’s much to do before the end of the summer, but I need to go at my own pace. It’s like do I need to ask for permission? I’m a grown woman. 😒 I’m dealing with a lot on a daily and weekly basis. I wish people would be more understanding.

I felt the sunshine on my skin today. I was able to bask in it for about 15-20 minutes in the backyard. It was wonderful! The dogs were with us too.

I’d like to go for a walk tomorrow, but I must be super careful. We’ll see how I’m feeling when I wake up.

Animal Crossing update: Paid off part of my loan. Still tidying everything up on my island. Work in progress.

I took a long nap this afternoon. I didn’t wake up until 3.5 hours later. Oh well! That’s how my body copes. I’ll retrain myself to get up at a reasonable time. Until then, it’s Summer and I’d like to milk every second of it.

Going to practice my uke and maybe watch a movie tonight. I’m thinking BlacKkKlansman. I’m currently listening to ABBA. So good.

I’m hoping the rest of the week gets better. I’m excited for the Animal Crossing update on 7/3. We can swim. 🙂

Take care and be safe!

Good night.

Day 108.

My headspace has been something these last few days. I’ve been dealing with anxiety, but I feel like it’s slowly turning into depression. It stems from just my own emotional health and the pandemic. Again cases are rising in California. It’s terrifying! I eventually want to start walking again, but I’ll be very cautious. Preparation is key! Phone, keys, wallet, mask, and hand sanitizer will be in tow.

I haven’t had the best day today. I guess my positive would be Animal Crossing. It allows me to take care of my island and socialize with my villagers. I’m admiring the marine life in my museum. Love the screen capture! I miss social gatherings, but it’s just impossible right now.

I got into a spat earlier. Family SMH 😒🤬 It can be so suffocating sometimes. Sigh.

I washed dishes earlier so that’s where all my productivity went. Afterwards I took a long nap.

Now I’m awake and will practice the uke and hopefully eat dinner. Maybe watch The Princess and the Frog. I just want this week to be better.

Hope y’all had a nice Sunday. Happy Pride! 🌈 Take care.

Good night.

Day 107.

Slept in. That’s usually my go to on Saturdays. I played a little bit of Animal Crossing before I went back to sleep. It was the first Bug-Off event today! I caught a few bugs. I ended up with a spider web and a toy centipede. I want the butterfly wallpaper next time. 🙂

I helped make dinner and dessert today. We had tacos and dark chocolate brownies with peanut butter M&M’s. Everything was so good! I just have a bunch to wash, but that’s okay. Totally worth it.

We watched a lot of Gordon Ramsay tonight. His shows are always entertaining. Good stuff.

I’m hoping to sleep early tonight. We’ll see. I’ve just been dealing with a lot of anxiety lately. Trying to stay positive. It’s time to play my uke.

Hope y’all had a great Saturday. Take care!

Good night.

Day 106.

Happy Birthday to you, Ariana Grande! 🖤 Throwback to the last concert I attended. December 2019! She’s always so much fun.

Fatigued. Dealt with more trauma in our neighborhood. It has happened five times dating back to 2019. It’s very scary. We just gotta be vigilant. I don’t understand why people continue to target the same car. Let alone the same neighborhood. 🤬

Animal Crossing update: Bug Off taking place tomorrow! Super exciting. That’s all my villagers have been talking about for the last week. I was so confused. Lol.

Masks. None of them fit me properly! They either folds my ears over or just slip off completely. I lost money since I can’t return it due to the incorrect size. Shoulda just went with a medium. Ugh. That’s my bad. I measured from my bridge to my chin too. Sigh. Please take COVID19 seriously!!! Cases are increasing in California. San Francisco has halted reopening businesses.

It’s been a bleh kinda day for me. I hope it’s better tomorrow. Glad it’s the weekend.

And let’s arrest the cops who killed Breonna Taylor! Thinking of Elijah McClain and his family too.

Gotta practice the uke. Enjoy the weekend! Take care.

Good night.

Day 105.

RIP Michael Jackson. ❤️

I hope I’m not coming down with something. I’ve got a dry cough and my throat is scratchy. I’ll take my temp shortly. 😬 (No temp. Whew.)

I got up at a decent time, but I ended up falling asleep for 2.5 more hours. I didn’t feel too bad. I got around to doing my laundry too. Yay! I did two loads. My jackets are finally clean.

Super proud of myself. I didn’t nap today. Definitely feeling it. Ahh. I’m planning to sleep a little early tonight. Anyway, I cleaned a few areas in my room today. It’s so easy to make things messy, but harder to clean. Does that happen to anyone else?

Animal Crossing update: I finally grabbed a few money bags on my island. I’ve got some more so I’m doing okay with bells. I did a little shopping and sold a bunch of items. I also paid some of my loan off. Sold the last of my turnips. The price hasn’t been more than 200. Ugh!

I’m gonna finish exercising, practice a bit of my uke, and reward myself with a green tea face mask. I also updated my laptop. It took forever. Must sort through my archives. I have so many pictures. I want to organize it all.

That was my Thursday. June is almost done. Looking forward to July! Hope y’all had a good one. Posting a throwback photo btw. That’s Bianca and I in Vegas in 2010. Our first visit. I loved that black and blue dress. 🤓🥂 Take care!

Good night.

Day 104.

It was indeed a happy Wednesday for me! I was about to sleep, but the results for my echo were released at 5am. My heart looks good and there are no significant changes compared to the one that I had in 11/2019. Yay!!! So grateful. 💜

I randomly woke up at 10:30am. Our dog heard noises and it turns out it was just my sister. Lol. So since I was awake I decided to play some Animal Crossing. My island is still a hot mess. Oh well. I made all this fencing, but I don’t know what to do with it. My playground is still a work in progress too. Mehhh.

I made banana bread. I needed to destress. My sisters brought Sal to the groomers, so I decided to bake before they got back. It’s a simple and delicious recipe! Next on the to bake list is pound cake. 😋

We got to catch up with our friend via text. Lots of new things going on with her. I’m so proud! ❤️ I’m still figuring things out for myself. I’m at a crossroads. Sigh.

I fell asleep. My nap was supposed to be an hour. It became 1.5 hours. Whoops. I’m planning to be much more active tomorrow. Gotta tackle laundry.

Must practice my uke and take my evening meds. That was my Wednesday. Btw I ordered two new masks. One of them is floral and the other one is Sailor Moon! 🙂

Hope y’all had a good one. Take care!

Good night.

Day 103.

When you’re tired the next day. That’s me! 😬 I tried to fight off taking a nap, but I was unsuccessful. I fell asleep for a few hours. I don’t remember much from the day other than having lunch and I just had dinner.

Animal Crossing update: I’m planning to redo my island entrance. I’m thinking something with waterfalls. I’m getting overwhelmed with flowers. 🙃 I might start on that tonight. I also want to give my island some dimension. I really want to just pay off my loan. It’ll be another few weeks.

Life update: it’s been 2 years since Sal became a part of our family. She really is a delicate flower. She enjoys the quiet, treats, and naps on cozy blankets. I’ll always remember that day. We were minutes away from home and then we got into a car accident. Thankfully everyone was okay. But it’s still a bit traumatic to this day. I had some bruises on my body. I can remember the impact too. I’m healing. ❤️

I was supposed to do laundry, but I’ll get to that tomorrow.

MLB will have a season. I’ve got mixed emotions. 1. The season is short. Why have it at all? 2. I don’t think that social setting is safe yet. 3. The DH in the NL. 😒 I guess I’ll watch, but it’s not 162 games. Mehhh.

And please wear your masks! 😷 Folx are being combative about it. There’s a surge in cases in California. Please give the rest of us a fighting chance. I’m so passionate about this because I fall into the vulnerable population. I want “normalcy” too, but it’ll take much longer if you don’t comply. Do your part! End rant.

Well, that was my Tuesday. Random, but I really want to bake brownies again. The ones we made yesterday were a cake texture. The fudge ones are the best.

Hope y’all had a good one. Take care!

Good night.

Day 102.

I had a case of the Mondays. It’s also because I stayed up to watch Volume 3 of Dear White People. ☺️ I’m binge watching. I’ll slow down. I have 7 episodes left.

So I slept in. When I got up I was able to have lunch – leftovers from Wingstop. Afterwards I took care of the dishes. I listened to The Carpenters for a good half hour or so.

Animal Crossing update: I’ve planted a lot of money trees. It’s helping me pay off my loan and putting bells into my savings. I finally got the dandy hat I’ve been looking for. My King Sized Homer look is complete. The Simpsons ftw! 😊

I was feeling tired so I decided to nap. I got up in time to have dinner. We also made brownies to commemorate our brother’s work anniversary and Sal’s adoption day which is technically tomorrow. So cute. Sal is very silly and her personality is precious.

I’ve gotta clean a few more things, play my uke, and exercise before the day is over. That was my Monday. Hope y’all had a good one! Take care.

Good night.

Day 101.

Happy Father’s Day! Love you, Dad. ❤️

My sleep was terrible last night. My anxiety kept me up again. That’s okay though. I watched Dear White People until I fell asleep. Netflix FTW!

I ordered an Animal Crossing pin from a college friend. She’s so talented! I bought the Celeste pin. An ode to Sailor Moon. 🌙

I’m still all up in my feelings. I finally did a round a yoga after a week off. It was tough, but I survived. The stretches and other exercises I usually do afterwards I decided to do in the beginning. I had to change it up. It’ll be a mellow day for me tomorrow.

Animal Crossing update: I almost caught a scorpion today. No luck. I’ll try again tomorrow. I’ve got Christmas decor now thanks to the BFF. Too funny. She time traveled. 😜 Still paying off that loan.

Just practiced my uke. I needed a refresher for Stand By Me. I remember it again.

That was my Sunday. I hope you all had a great day. Here’s to a new week! Take care. 💕

Good night.
