Day 55.

Happy 89th Birthday, Willie Mays! 🖤🧡 Birthday greetings to our Lola Onen too. We miss you. ❤️

I had a restful night’s sleep! It’s been so long since I could say that. I woke up at about 9am. And then I played Animal Crossing. 😊 Every morning is a little surprise when I start up the game. I love it!

I spent most of the day with the dogs and taking care of some errands at home. I measured a jacket that might be sold. Fingers crossed. I was also preparing myself for a study. I wanted to nap before it, but I did it afterwards instead. I think it went well.

I fell asleep for a few hours and I woke up at 9pm. Overall it was a good day. I had the rest of the taco meat from Taco Bell. Made two tacos, one soft and the other crunchy. I also had carrots, Devon custard, and strawberries. I think today was a fairly healthy day. I did have a handful of candy and that’s alright. 😎

Practiced my uke. Spent 20-30 minutes on it. I’ve learned a bit of I’m Yours. The uke challenge concludes this week, but I’ll continue to learn more chords and songs. I’ve learned so much since day 1! I’m really proud of myself. 💜

Now we’re going to watch some episodes of The Simpsons. But first, some more Animal Crossing. I’m bummed my museum is under renovation, but it’ll be back tomorrow. I wanted to donate some fossils but it’ll be done later.

Hope you all had a pleasant Wednesday. Take care!

Good night.

Day 54.

What a day it’s been. When my sleep gets disturbed, it’s difficult for me to fall back asleep. So I stayed awake and I didn’t nap. Reminds me of college finals – lack of sleep and feeling sluggish.

Animal Crossing is now part of my routine. There are so many new things on the island. I even got to hang out with my cousin on his and I was able to take foreign fruits back with me. I planted them and they should be ready in a few days. Yay! It’s nice to connect with family and friends who also play.

Day 27 of the 30 day uke challenge. I can’t believe it’s been that long. I’ve made progress no matter how big or small. It’s great! Strumming, chord changes, and staying on beat is still a bit hard for me. But practice makes progress. I’ll keep going until I get it right. 😊

I had a video chat with my therapist. It was the first time. Usually we talk on the phone, but I felt comfortable enough this time around.

So much TV. We watched Wheel of Fortune, Forensic Files, The Masked Singer, and Family Feud. It was an eventful day. Now I’m crashing. I can feel the fatigue so I’m hoping I get a good night’s sleep. I’d like to tackle some cleaning tomorrow too.

Lastly, today is World PH Day. It’s been 12 years since my diagnosis. Can’t stop, won’t stop. 💜

Hope your Tuesdays were great. Take care!

Good night.

Day 53.

Happy Star Wars Day! May the 4th be with you. Always. 💫🪐

I woke up at noon. That’s the earliest I’ve been up since the shelter in place was enforced on 3/16! I’m so proud of myself.

I played Animal Crossing first. Then I had brunch with my sisters. Made myself a cup of decaf English Breakfast, a plate of leftovers from yesterday, and snacked on Cheetos & ice cream. 😋 We watched a few episodes of The Simpsons on Freeform.

I washed some dishes. Had to be done.

Practiced my uke early. I tried to understand some music theory. Kinda threw me off, but I think it’s clicking.

Played some more Animal Crossing. And then I decided to take a nap. That turned into deep sleep. 😬😂

Now I’m awake and I want to eat. So I’m going to do that. My dreams were wild btw. It was quite an adventure.

Hope everyone had a nice Monday! Take care.

Good night.

Day 52.

The weekend came and went. My sleep was okay. I slept in for a while. I don’t even feel bad. Lol. I stayed up watching some of The Bee Gees documentary on YouTube. One of my favorite bands of all time. ❤️

Had another Animal Crossing hangout with Jamie. So fun! I got to visit her island too.

I was quite productive today although I felt sluggish. I charged my laptop, I practiced my uke early, and I showered. I can play some of Stand By Me. Yay!!!

Trying to figure out what to do for Mother’s Day next week. I can’t believe it’s here!

Might have to watch The Rise of Skywalker before bed tonight. Yesss!!!

I’m feeling tired now, but I think I can push through. No pic for today btw. Hope you all had a nice weekend.

Good night.

Day 51.

Animal Crossing! Another villager has made my island their home. It’s so fun meeting new folks. I even got to hang out with my BFF Jamie for a bit. That was fun. I’ve attached my screen cap. I’m on the left. 🙂

Stomach issues are still lingering. I ate what I could today. I’m currently having soup.

We watched a bit of How to Deal. We’ll finish it later.

I fell asleep for a few hours. I dreamt I was in High School Musical. LOL! I needed the rest.

When I’m done with this entry, I gotta practice my uke. And then we’re going to play scene it and trivial pursuit. Gonna speak it into existence: I need my first W!!!! I know I can do it. 😎

Hope your Saturdays went well. ☮️❤️

Good night.

Day 50.

Happy May! ❤️

I didn’t do much today. I woke up with a terrible stomachache. 😭 That threw my sleep off. I ended up sleeping in for longer. That explains why I didn’t take any pictures.

I woke up and had a light meal for lunch. Played some Animal Crossing to pass the time. New villagers are moving in! The island is coming together. It’s great. 😊

After lunch, I took a long nap. I really needed it. I slept for a few more hours. I was disoriented since I couldn’t remember what day it was. I can’t believe it’s Friday!

I just finished dinner. Pho and pork egg rolls. I also had half a banh mi.

I’m about to practice my uke. I’ve been practicing later than usual. The fatigue is real.

Hope you all had a nice day. Enjoy your weekend!

Good night.

Day 49.

I didn’t get a restful night’s sleep. Dealt with terrible insomnia. I finally fell asleep at 8am. I slept in until 2pm.

I played some Animal Crossing. So much progress today! I love it. 🙂 I’m done playing for the night. Give my eyes some rest.

Got some cleaning done. I trashed old receipts and recycled papers + boxes. Planning to tackle my closet this weekend. I need to part with old clothes.

We had pizza for dinner. We didn’t want to cook tonight.

Mellow Thursday. I’m hoping to sleep early tonight.

Good night!

Day 48.

Forensics Files, food, Animal Crossing, Jeopardy, repeat. That’s what my Wednesday looked like.

I stayed up watching Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist and then I also rewatched Four Weddings and A Funeral the tv series. I’m almost done with that again.

Before bed I just felt sad. Two years ago, my cousin passed away. She was 34. A beautiful spirit. I wish I had spent more time with her. RIP Maria. You are truly missed. ❤️

I’m doing my best to live life to its fullest. Some days are good and then some days are bad. I take both in stride. My own journey has been challenging but I’m still standing. And then I think of my friends who have passed these last few years. I miss them a lot. 💜 I’ll keep going.

I still gotta practice my uke. I’m learning so much information. And I’m still searching for a new desk. I’m overwhelmed with options. Sighhh. Btw random insomnia chats with your BFF at 5am is so much fun. Thanks for the laughs, Jamie! 😂

Hope you all had a good day. Take care!

Good night.

Day 47.

I really can’t believe it’s been this long. I’m still going.

I didn’t get a lot of sleep because I watched the rest of Never Have I Ever. I really like the show! It’s a great cast. Plot twist everywhere. Yeah!!!

As soon as I woke up, I played Animal Crossing. I’m close to getting all my iron nuggets. I’m feeling quite accomplished.

Had my doctor’s appointment via Zoom today. First time in a while since I put on eyeliner and sunscreen. It’s very different. I prefer in person obviously, but due to the pandemic things have changed a bit. I was really glad to talk to clinic and touch base with them. 💜

Played Animal Crossing again and then took a long nap. I needed it.

I’ve had lots of chocolate today and a bag of Chili & lime rolled tortilla chips from Trader Joe’s! I didn’t even realize I had a bag until I jogged my memory. I saved it since I wasn’t able to have chips for Lent.

Anyway, that was my day. It went really well. Hope you all had a nice Tuesday.

Good night.

Day 46.

Shelter in place has been extended until 5/31. I mentioned this to Mom yesterday about an extension. I’m psychic! 😎 I knew the announcement was coming. We’ve made it this far. We can do it, California! ❤️

Animal Crossing, uke practice, watching Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, and Forensic Files made up my Monday. Not bad. I’m learning to mix my days up with various shows and games. I just started Never Have I Ever and I LOVE IT! The cast is great. Reminds me of high school which I don’t really miss.

I even got to do some laundry. I’m so frustrated with some of the masks I’ve purchased btw. I washed and dried one today. It fits my face, but the strap doesn’t sit well on my small ears. Ughhh. 😒 I’m thinking of clipping it with my hair clips. That might work.

Anyway, I’m pretty tired. I’ve got a busy day tomorrow so I’m planning to sleep early tonight. Maybe 2am? Haha.

Glad I showered. I’m ready to unwind on Netflix and Hulu. So many shows and movies! Hurrah.

Hope you all had a nice Monday. Take care!

Good night.
