Day 126.

Today was alright. It was tough for me, but I got through it. Still feeling very fatigued. Sighhh. Having low energy is a bummer.

Animal Crossing update: Pascal stopped by again and gave me a pearl! I want more recipes. I also bought a cute tea table for my house. Not sure where to put it yet.

We finally watched The Princess and the Frog. Such a beautiful movie! We love the cast and the music. 🥰

The earrings from my friend’s Mom’s small business arrived today. So pretty! I can’t wait to wear it.

I’m going to play a little more AC and then get ready for bed. I have an early morning because I’ll be up to support my friend’s dissertation defense at 8am PDT/11EDT. So exciting! I need sleep.

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

Good night.

Day 125.

It was a rest day for me. Riding the bike yesterday took me out. Luckily I completed my stand goal. I fell asleep for a few hours.

Animal Crossing update: I’m trying to design a top. It’s taking me a while to get used to the grid. Patience. Everything’s a trial run. Pascal finally showed up and I got a pearl! He hasn’t been around for two days. My AC crew neck arrived today. I love it! The color reminds me of Cinderella.

Highlight of my day was finally getting Shake Shack. Every time we wanted to order it either just closed or they weren’t taking deliveries. I went with their Shack Stack – a cheeseburger patty with a ‘Shroom burger and the fixings. So good! My boss recommended it to me. No wonder he loves it.

I stayed up watching Glee. I also caught up with my BFFs via text. We exchanged messages for almost an hour. Good times.

I need to play my uke. I didn’t get to practice yesterday. That was my Wednesday. I hope y’all had a good one. Take care!

Good night.

Day 124.

Hello! 😄

I had a pretty decent day. I had about nine hours of sleep. It was much needed. I haven’t done that since a regular work day. I miss it! I played Animal Crossing right away. It’s my morning routine as of late. To be honest – it’s been this way since I started playing in April. I love the game! 🥰 Put my playground together too.

I used our exercise bike today. I’m pretty beat. My legs felt like jello after about 12 minutes. I give myself breaks in between, but it’s hard. I applaud myself for completing the task today. 💜

Helped the sister with dinner. Glad I was able to assist! We made spaghetti and meatballs with garlic bread. 😋

We finished Last Christmas in the afternoon and I was on the verge of tears. The story caught me by surprise. I’ll have to rewatch it again. Love the cast!!! We’re also rewatching Glee together. Season 1 takes me back! I was still in community college when I first started watching. Time really flies. I miss the 2010s. And we watched an episode from the new Unsolved Mysteries. It was sad. Justice for Alonzo Brooks!

The current state of the world makes me anxious, angry, and sad. Life is short. Live your best life! I bought an ita bag just for the heck of it. Can’t wait to display my fave pins from my fandoms.

I’m going to make myself a cuppa tea. Decaf English breakfast. Yes! 💖 Take care, everyone.

Good night.

Day 123.

Happy Monday! 😎

California is rolling back reopening. As sad as it is, it’s for the best right now. Coronavirus cases are increasing! Governor Newsom has done a fantastic job implementing steps and plans for our beautiful state.

I rarely leave the house anymore and you get no complaints from me. As much as I miss socializing and going out – it’s not worth the risk for me since I’m immunocompromised. Plans for returning to work are up in the air too. The education system is taking a hit. It’s not safe. I never would have imagined 2020 to be like this. It’s been hard, but I’m remaining strong.

My new mask arrived today. Animal Crossing! It’s so cute. I may have to order another one soon. Speaking of AC, my new villager, Drake moved in. I was looking for a scallop earlier today, but no luck. I’ll try again in a little bit.

I was able to tidy up my desk, shred papers, and trash some things in my room. I love cleaning! 🙂

I’m in need of chocolate. I placed an order for some British snacks, but it hasn’t shipped yet. Maybe tomorrow. I miss their crisps!

Lastly, today’s been heavy with the news of Naya Rivera. I grew up watching her on TV – Family Matters!! We’re the same age. My heart breaks for her son, family, and friends. RIP beautiful Naya. ❤️

Hope y’all had a nice one. Take care always!

Good night.

Day 122.

Happy Sunday! 🙂

I spent the day watching Supermarket Sweep, playing Animal Crossing, and had a jam session with my uke. I’m getting more comfortable with switching chords. Yay!

We were invited to a small gathering, but had to politely decline due to the pandemic. I hope everyone had a great time. We miss our friends! ❤️

I bought an AC cap of Celeste. She’s one of my favorite characters. There’s a crew neck I’m looking at on Etsy too. It’s nice that they’re located in California so if I move forward with the purchase I won’t have to wait too long.

I went on the exercise bike for 10 minutes. I call it a victory! I’ve gotta monitor my heart rate. If it’s too high, I slow down or I take a quick break. Having chronic conditions have been tough, but I’m tougher. I’ll always be resilient!

The treat of the day for the fam was ordering matcha drinks and soft serve. I missed it so much! 😋🍦🍵

Well, I hope y’all had a nice one. Take care!

Good night.

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.
