Day 121.

Happy Saturday! It was laundry day for me. I love clean blankets and sheets. 😊 I woke up at a decent time today too.

Spent some of our afternoon in the backyard. Dogs wanted to be in the sunshine. So cute. They’re a handful, but we love them both so much. ❤️🐶❤️

Animal Crossing update: I participated in the Fish Tourney. I redeemed my points for a fish crossbody. So cute. I even got to hang out with my cousin on his island. I dropped off bells and a birthday gift. Happy Birthday, Adrian! 🥳🎂 Thanks for coordinating, Katie. 💕

We’ll be watching Dumb and Dumber tonight. Yay! One of our favorite movies.

It was a mellow Saturday. I hope I sleep at a reasonable time tonight. We’ll see. Lol. Take care!

Good night.

Day 120.

TGIF! This week was hard, but I made it. I hope I’ll get to relax and chill out this weekend. I’ve got plans to clean. 😎

I stayed up watching The Sinner. The ending of s1 was so good. I know s3 just ended. Probably won’t be on Netflix until the Fall or Winter. Might start watching Glee again. The first time around I only watched half of s1.

Animal Crossing update: Pascal gave me a pearl. Canberra is leaving my island. Time to find a new villager! Haven’t used any NMT in a week or so. I’ve gotta move some buildings around too. Flowers are outta control. Lol.

My new face masks and skincare products arrived today! I’m embracing the aging process, but it’s important to take care of your skin. I ordered some new sunscreen too. I hope I like it.

We just made cupcakes! I had two. I might have another. Haha. I may watch Sleepless in Seattle before bed tonight.

Gonna play a bit of my uke. I need to practice.

Hope y’all had a nice Friday. Take care!

Good night.

Day 119.

This pandemic has been weighing on me. The news as of late in the US hasn’t been helping. There are more cases. It’s worrisome. As much as we’d like to normalize our lives like it was before, I really don’t see that happening anytime soon. The numbers are astonishing. Across the country it seems like there is no end in sight. It’s scary! I’ll continue to listen to science. The medical professionals know what they’re talking about. I’ve been around hospitals since I was 17 years old. I’ve made it this far. Please comply! 😷

I didn’t have the greatest of days. I feel like I’m in a funk. I hope to snap out of it eventually, but I’m allowing myself to go through it. I used to suppress my feelings and emotions. It’s not healthy. It’s okay to let it out and there’s nothing wrong with crying.

Highlight of my day: I got the mermaid screen DIY from Pascal today. Yay! It’s so pretty. I think I have all the materials to craft it.

This week has been up and down. I hope I’ll be in a better headspace in a few days. Ultimately I’m in a slump. My mind is still kinda stuck in March, especially the last day of work. The ending was premature. Doesn’t sit right with me.

Anyway, I’ll end it here. I might watch a movie to cheer me up tonight. Hope y’all had a nice Thursday. Take care.

Good night!

Day 118.

Today was alright. My day’s have been better. There are a bunch of things bothering me at the moment, but I shall vent & save that for another day.

We had Indian food for lunch. Always delicious! I also bought mango lassi for everyone. It’s so refreshing.

Highlight of the day: I got to catch up with my grandma on the phone. It was brief, but I’m glad she’s doing okay. She just wanted to say hello. I love you, Lola! ❤️

Animal Crossing update: I have another piece of art to add to my museum. It’s Venus de Milo! Thanks, Redd. And Pascal gave me mermaid flooring today. Good progress!

My medication wasn’t delivered today. I was expecting it in the afternoon. Hopefully it gets to me tomorrow. I really need it. 😬

One of my other masks came in today too. I’ll try it on tomorrow. Gotta practice my uke in a bit.

That was my Wednesday. Hope yours went well. Take care!

Good night.

Day 117.

I’m still wearing a mask around the house. It’s a small inconvenience, but I can deal. I want to make sure my family is safe. I’m doing my part. I think I mentioned this a few days ago. Just repeating it again.

The Sinner kept me up. Found out I just watched s2. Lol. I’ll watch s1 soon. 🙃 Netflix kinda messed up the descriptions. All good though. More Bill Pullman. 🥰

I spent most of my day indoors. I’m making steady progress on Animal Crossing. Pascal gave me a mermaid dress in exchange for a scallop! Win. I’m expecting a DIY recipe soon.

I went outside for a bit with the fam and our dogs. We took in some sunshine in the backyard. It was nice. The dogs enjoyed it.

I’m going to play my uke shortly. It’s been calming the last few times I’ve played. I’ve been a bit uneasy as of late. I hope I get a good night’s sleep. Hasn’t happened in a while.

Lastly, I just wanted to greet my dear friend Brea a very Happy Birthday! 💕 Wish we could celebrate. But I hope your day was splendid.

Hope y’all had a nice Tuesday. Take care!

Good night.

Day 116.

Happy Monday! Still feeling meh. I did get to fold some laundry and put my belongings away. Yay! I also placed my next shipment of medication. Last week I was told that I was too early to call. That hasn’t happened before. Good thing I remembered to get in touch.

I played a lot of Animal Crossing today. I almost had the scorpion. I got stung again. 😞 I’ll catch my first one eventually. I hope it’s soon. Celeste’s on my island. So many shooting stars. And today is Mira’s birthday. Happy Birthday, Mira! 💛

I started The Sinner. Pretty good so far. I’ll watch the next episode before bed.

I’ll play a little uke tonight too. I wanna learn more songs.

I’m feeling tired again. Might have to disconnect for an hour or so. My screen time usage went up because of all the movies I’ve been watching. I rewatched Casper before I slept. One of my faves growing up!

Anyway, I shall go. Hope y’all had a good one. Take care!

Good night.

Day 115.

Where did the weekend go? I spent another day resting up and isolating. I leave my room with a mask on and I always wash my hands. I miss my typical routine, but I would rather make sure I’m in the clear. I think I mentioned this yesterday. No fever was present today. My cough is still here though.

Happy Mac Dre Day! 🎵 I listened to some of his music. Happy Birthday!!

Animal Crossing update: I paid off my current loan! I used part of my savings. Now I can finally setup my kitchen. Exciting!! But a new loan starts tomorrow. 🙃 I also captured some new sea creatures.

I played my uke to calm me down. My anxiety was all over the place today.

I watched Spaceballs and Monte Carlo. I liked both movies. John Candy + a young Bill Pullman 😘 and the cast of Monte Carlo was cute. Everyone meshed well. I’ve started watching The Sinner. The first episode had me guessing. So now I’m invested. The next epi will reveal more to the story.

Hoping for a good week. I’m trying to be patient with myself. Things will get done, but I must adjust accordingly due to my current state. I haven’t had to contact my medical team because I feel okay. I take my temp daily.

Lastly, my cousin and her husband had their gender reveal party today. They’re expecting a boy! I’m so excited for them. 💙 Congratulations Jet and Jan!!

Good night.

Day 114.

Yesterday gave me a scare so I’ve been resting all day. I’m glad to report that I no longer have a low-grade fever. I’m still being cautious by isolating myself in my room and wearing a mask around the house. I’m giving myself the recommended two weeks of recovery. I’m still feeling more tired than usual and I have a cough. I’m taking in plenty of fluids.

Fireworks are still going off. This is the first 4th that we aren’t celebrating. We can’t celebrate freedom until everyone is free. Our nation is divided and there’s a lot of hate going around. It’s appalling. Wake up! #BlackLivesMatter 🖤

So I’ve always had a crush on Bill Pullman since I was a kid. I think it started with Casper. Lol. And I rewatched While You Were Sleeping. Thanks Disney+! There’s just something about him. I want to watch the show he’s in – The Sinner. I’m planning to watch Spaceballs tonight.

I played some Animal Crossing today. Paid some more of my loan off. I sold some items + gifted things to my villagers. I found some new sea creatures. Yay!

I napped throughout the day too. Super important to rest and reenergize.

That was my day. I’ve been listening to music too. It’s a mix of Little Mix, Ariana Grande, and Christmas music. It’s early, but not for me! I love holiday music. I miss it a lot. Reminds me of our London tour. That was 6 months ago. Time flies.

Well I hope everyone had a nice Saturday. Take care!

Good night.

Day 113.

I’m so anxious right now. I have a low grade fever, stomachache, and body aches. I knew something was off when I woke up from my nap this afternoon. Not sure what’s going on but I’m choosing to isolate from the rest of my family as a just in case. If my symptoms worsen, I have the contact information for the coronavirus hotline in the city. 😬😷 I was able to eat pho and an egg roll. My only meal. I hope I can keep it down.

I’m tracing back to the last few days. The only places I stepped foot in was the bank, post office, Walgreens, and our local taqueria. I had my mask on at all times and hand sanitizer in my bag. I hope I’ll be okay. I’m a little nervous. 😞

This morning we said goodbye to our family car. So many fond memories of the van especially our road trips and picking up one of our dogs. I was a little sad, but relieved.

Animal Crossing update: I’ve been collecting all kinds of sea creatures! I love being able to swim now with the current update. I’m looking forward to making all the mermaid furniture. I currently only have the DIY for a table. I sold the rest of my turnips today too. Yay!

I might play the uke in a bit. I also want to watch a movie, but I’m trying to get lots of rest. I’m also taking in more fluids than usual. Please send positive thoughts and prayers my way.

That’s my Friday. I hope y’all had a nice one. Take care!

Good night.

Day 112.

I didn’t do much today. I had to recover from yesterday’s activities. I stayed up and then I slept in.

The only productive thing I did today was wash the dishes. I always listen to music while doing it. The time tends to go by faster. Clean dishes and great music! It’s a win-win. 🙂

We had Mac’d for dinner. I considered it brunch. Lol. Their offerings are delicious. The one with the hot Cheetos topping was really good. I also had some fries.

Animal Crossing updated! So now we can all swim in the ocean. Very fun! I already have a few sea creatures. My favorites at the moment are the sea star and jellyfish. I can’t wait to collect more.

I just practiced my uke. I was supposed to clean today, but I can save that for tomorrow. It’s going to be a big day. We’re donating our family car from years ago. So many fond memories like our drive up to Portland and Seattle! Road trips were the greatest in the van. Thanks for the memories! ❤️ I’ll always remember The Beatles playing on repeat.

I ordered another mask. This time it’s an Animal Crossing print. It’ll get to me in two weeks. I hope it fits! The owner was very responsive and answered all my questions.

Well, that was my Thursday. This week is flying! I hope y’all had a good one. Take care.

Good night.
