Day 43.

Happy Birthday, Coco dear! ❤️🐶 We miss you so much. We love you. We decided to bake cupcakes and order In-N-Out to celebrate. The fries were always her favorite.

I had terrible anxiety before bed. So I stayed up watching Hulu and played a bit of Animal Crossing.

I woke up at 9am, but decided to nap in the afternoon after playing some more Animal Crossing. My house is built! I’m loving the game.

Practiced my uke. I’m on Day 15. I practiced my strumming and chord changes. I’m getting more comfortable. Any kind of progress makes me happy. 🙂

TGIF! I’m glad it’s the weekend again. I always rest as much as I can. Hope you all had a great day.

Good night.

Day 42.

I was anxious before bed. So I woke up groggy and irritated. Lol. I mean I slept for 4 hours. 😬 I’m proud to say I didn’t nap today. Animal Crossing kept me busy for most of the day.

Lola (grandma) called us. It was nice to hear her voice. She’s doing well. I always pray for her. I miss her a lot! I haven’t seen her since the beginning of March for bday celebrations before the shelter in place. 😞

British snacks arrived today! It totally made my day. My extra order of French lavender hand sanitizer came in as well. Great package day! 🙂

I got to watch part of the 2020 NFL Draft! Exciting times. Welcome to the Niners, Javon Kinlaw & Brandon Aiyuk! ❤️💛

Practiced chucking some more. I think I’m getting the hang of it. I’m really focusing on my strumming. Learning the chords are simple in my case. I’m trying to find my rhythm. 🙃

Overall I had a nice Thursday. No complaints. Can’t believe it’s almost the weekend.

Well, good night!

Day 41.

Animal Crossing and naps. That’s pretty much all I did today. 😊

I still need to practice my uke before the day ends. I’m getting frustrated with my strumming. 😞 Trying to be patient. It’s only been 2 weeks.

I’m hoping my meds get delivered to me tomorrow. I didn’t get a shipping notification so I’m not sure if it’ll even arrive. I’ve called the specialty pharmacy multiple times this week. Quite frustrating. Breathe.

I’ve been tired. Lacking so much energy. Btw, I’m caught up with the latest of Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist.

Hoping for a better night’s sleep tonight.

Good night and take care!

Day 40.

I’ve been tired today, but I made it! Animal Crossing is officially here! I haven’t played before so I’m learning a lot. 😄 It’s fun.

Sister made a small grocery run. Thank you for doing that! I miss going out, but city and state orders. We can do this!! ❤️

Watched a few episodes of Even Stevens with the sisters. Reminds me a lot of when we were growing up. Simpler days.

Uke practice was a little frustrating today. I’m hoping to find my strumming rhythm but I’ve been struggling. For whatever reason I freeze up during a song. And then I get thrown off completely. Doing my best to be patient with myself. Small progress is still progress.

Not much else to share, but overall today was a good day. Thankful for everyone no matter how big or small a role they play in my life. I’m extremely blessed.

Hope you all had a nice Tuesday! Take care.

Good night.

Day 39.

Mellow Monday. I wasn’t feeling the greatest since I took care of so much yesterday. I got the chance to sleep in.

I’m getting anxious about dealing with some personal affairs. I just hope everything is okay so I don’t stress out even more. I need to call in the morning.

Practiced my uke for a bit. I’m learning how to read tab charts. It’s new to me, but I’m absorbing the new information. I’ve also memorized You Are My Sunshine. Hurrah!

We ordered Halal Guys for dinner. I forgot how delicious it was. I only ate half.

We’ve been playing a lot of Scene It! It’s so much fun. Jogs all of our movie memories. Good times.

I’m planning to sleep early so I can be more productive tomorrow. It really depends on how I’m feeling.

Hope everyone had a nice Monday.

Good night.

Day 38.

My sleep was alright. I had to take a Benadryl since I was feeling meh. That made me drowsy, but it helped.

I washed dishes, I cleaned, helped prep dinner, and baked brownies for our Lolo (grandpa). Today would’ve been his 101st birthday. We miss him so much. Love you, Lolo. ❤️

Watched the ESPN series on MJ and the Chicago Bulls. What a dominant team! I remember that a lot in the nineties.

Just finished practicing my uke. I learned some more strum patterns. Yay! There’s always progress no matter how big or small.

Cheers to a new week! Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Good night.

Day 37.

Happy weekend! I tried to sleep in, didn’t happen. I got hungry so I had some cereal. Then I got sleepy again. I brushed my teeth and went back to bed.

I got to catch up with a friend via IG before my nap. Hi Mich! 💕

Today marks the 114th Anniversary of the 1906 Earthquake in SF. There’s usually a celebration, but due to the shelter in place it was cancelled. SF ❤️

Day 10 of uke practice! I learned You Are My Sunshine. ☺️ It’s always been a fave song of mine growing up. So proud of myself.

I tried to clean, but no luck. I’ve been quite tired. Hoping to take care of chores tomorrow.

I’m ready for a good night’s sleep. Dealt with some motion sickness while playing video games. I’m feeling a little better.

I also wanted to greet my cousin Happy Birthday! Hope you had a nice day, Jetih. 🥰🎂🎊

Time to sleep. Hope your Saturdays were awesome!

Good night.

Day 36.

TGIF! ❤️ That’s me in Toronto in front of Kim’s Convenience, one of my favorite Canadian shows. The brother took the pic. This was June 2019. Such a fun city! I’ll be back. 🙂

It was a pretty good day. I was able to recycle a lot of old papers again. That’s as far as I could get today. I’m hoping to do more tomorrow. I was lacking energy. I still am right now. Might take a quick nap.

Ukulele practice! I can hear the notes better when I’m strumming. That’s a good thing.

Watched The First Wives Club for the first time ever. I really liked it. And then I watched Rescue 911, Unsolved Mysteries, Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, and Shark Tank with the fam! I saw part of 20/20, Siegfried and Roy’s story after the 2003 accident. I hope I can rewatch it.

My eyes are getting heavy. So it’s time for that nap. Hope everyone had a nice Friday!

Good night.

Day 35.

Sleeping in is the best. As I’ve said again and again – rest is important. 🥰

I had cereal for brunch. Corn Pops reminds me of my childhood. I also had Cocoa Puffs. The best! I really miss Kix and Life cereal. Maybe our next order we’ll list those down.

We watched The Simpsons. The early seasons are gold. Homer always makes us laugh! I want to return to Universal Studios just to visit Springfield again.

I decided to sort through my laundry. I’ll be doing a few loads this weekend. I recycled old college papers and trashed some items that I no longer use. I feel lighter. I’m hoping to tackle my closet tomorrow or Saturday. I’m doing my best to be more of a minimalist.

Afterwards I practiced my uke before dinner. I can’t believe it’s day 8! I’m still struggling with the G chord, but I’m improving overall. I’m paying attention to how I’m strumming too. Practice makes progress!

I had a very pleasant day. I’m hoping to sleep a little earlier tonight, but first ice cream. Lastly, I finally opened my happy mail from Rarity. I love my bow bands! Thank you so much, Casey. 🥰 It’s the perfect accessory for any outfit.

I hope Thursday was a good day for everyone. By the way, Happy 49th Birthday to the queen of Tejano music, Selena Quintanilla-Perez! 💜

Good night.

Day 34.

Sleep update: I’m improving little by little. Anxiety is still messing with me. Doing my best to breathe and take it a day at a time.

Bought a Switch Lite. Not really on a whim. I’ve been looking. Excited to get it in the next few days. I want all the games. 🙂

Washed some more dishes. Yeah! It’s the best.

Watched Center Stage. Preteen memories. Still love the film to this day. The cast and the music are everything! ❤️

We got our groceries delivered. Not everything was accounted for due to low stock or just completely out of stock. That’s alright. Thankful to be able to purchase from an app and the convenience of necessities to be dropped off at our door. Thank you to all essential workers!!! 💪🏼

Took a much needed nap. I hope I don’t sleep too late tonight. But I was really run down. Rest is important.

We’re going to be playing Scene It tonight. It’s been years. It should be a lot of fun. I also gotta practice my uke. Woo!

Hope y’all had a great day! Take care and be well.

Good night.
