Day 70.

I was pretty well rested today. Proud of myself for getting a decent night’s sleep.

Animal Crossing as soon as I woke up. It’s fun starting up the game and there’s mail waiting for you. And maybe a surprise visitor on the island. Yay!

Took it easy until I had to get ready for the lab. It’s been 2 months since my last visit. Thankfully I was able to get a ride. Thanks to the bro! It took a little longer since my other orders weren’t in the system. It was resolved and I made my way back to the lab. I was sticked twice. The lab is sterile and there’s a lot of spatial distancing. Thank you, UCSF! 🙏🏼❤️

We made our way home and I jumped in the shower. I went to multiple areas in the hospital. I wanted to be sure I didn’t contaminate anything else at home for the fam.

We ordered pizza for dinner and cookies for dessert. We watched Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, Brüno, Unsolved Mysteries, and The Simpsons. Lots of tv! I played Animal Crossing a few more times.

I’m ready for bed. It was a very productive day. Proud of myself for getting all my errands done.

Hope you all had a nice Thursday! I’m looking forward to tomorrow. My Switch lite case from Japan should be arriving. Hurrah!

Good night.

Day 69.

Happy National Dog Rescue Day! ❤️ Rescue dogs are the best. Our dear Sal, we love you.

Animal Crossing has been consuming a lot of my time. I’m still figuring out what to do throughout my island. I don’t want to overthink it. Takes the fun away.

Happy Birthday, IZ! I was practicing Somewhere Over The Rainbow for a while today. I even recorded audio to listen to what I need to fix. Switching can be challenging, but it’s not impossible. 🌈 I also want to greet my uncle a Happy Birthday! 🙂🇨🇦

I washed dishes, did laundry, and tidied things up. Cleaning is fun. I didn’t even nap. I was a trouper today! 🙂

Lastly, our dog’s liver condition is progressing a bit. So she must take antibiotics on top of what she’s already taking. We’re thinking of including milk thistle with some of her meals. I hope it works. She’s only 3. We’re going to do as much as we can for her. I’m going to stay positive.

We’re going to watch Gordon Ramsey’s 24 Hours To Hell And Back to end the night. It’s a great show!

Hope you all had a good day.

Good night.

Day 68.

Farewell to Specialty’s! It was one of my favorite downtown spots for after work cookies and treats. You’ll be missed! ❤️🍪

Staying asleep has been a struggle this week. Too many sleep disturbances. I’m going to do my best to normalize my routine. Trying to be very hopeful right now despite the pandemic.

Terraforming is owning me right now on Animal Crossing. I’m brainstorming what to do with parts of my island. I need more nook miles and bells. So far it’s going alright.

Uke practice! I played Somewhere Over The Rainbow again. I’m getting it down.

Watched The Simpsons in the afternoon. The old episodes are the best.

That was pretty much my day. I took a nap too. We had Panda Express for dinner. Our dog also went to the vet for her checkup and nail clip. We also bathed the dogs. Yay! They both smell like lavender.

That was my Tuesday. Hope you’re all well.

Good night.

Day 67.

Animal Crossing rules! I stayed up to play at 5am. That’s when the day resets. I decided to make an Instagram dedicated to my island. I want to chronicle my progress. 🙂 I’m so excited to post.

I washed dishes, swept the front, and helped with the compost. I made some decent progress today. I had my mask on too. It’s important! 😷

I took a nap from 6:30pm-9pm. I didn’t have the best night’s sleep. I felt a bit refreshed.

I had Wingstop leftovers for dinner. Garlic Parmesan and lemon pepper are my fave flavors! I also had a side of veggies. Made myself an ice cream sandwich: chocolate chip cookies & birthday cake ice cream from C.R.E.A.M. So good! 😋

Tonight I had a good cry. It stems from my own insecurities. I try to be positive despite my personal circumstances but I hate when people doubt me. I dislike the discouraging thoughts. I wish more people would be encouraging. Encouragement goes a long way. Sending good messages will help me feel better. It’s healthy. I’ve also dealt with anxiety. Doing my very best with this life. I believe in myself! 💜 That’s all that matters.

Planning to practice the uke in a bit, exercise, and play Animal Crossing again.

And Happy Birthday to you, Sunny! One of my fave Thai actors. 🥰🥳🍰

Hope you all had a nice Monday! Take care.

Good night.

Day 66.

Happy Sunday! 🧡

It was a chill day. I got a decent amount of sleep. Played Animal Crossing right away. 😁 I built this zen area on my island. I’m trying to be more creative so I’m working with what I’ve got. I’m hoping to expand some more eventually.

We had Wingstop for lunch. Everything was boneless. I enjoy the crunch from each tender. They only gave us ranch so we were without bleu cheese. 😞 Still good anyway.

I took a nice long nap. I felt really sleepy and sluggish after lunch. I waited to digest and then I napped. I woke up a half hour late. And I missed the new Simpsons episode. Maybe it’s on demand or something.

Practiced my uke. I think I can get Somewhere Over The Rainbow down by the end of the month. I’ve got two weeks!

Decided to treat myself to an Animal Crossing pouch and this plastic case. Looking forward to putting it on. I think my Switch will look great. 🙂

Well, that was my Sunday. I just danced a bit to close my exercise ring and to get my body moving. I think I’m due for a yoga session. I’m aiming for more productivity this week.

Good night and take care!

Day 65.

I love Saturdays! I woke up early to play some Animal Crossing. Then I went back to sleep. Played some more AC once I woke up from my nap.

It was a chill day. I got to feel the breeze outside. Missing the old times. We yearn for normalcy, but life will be quite different after this.

I got to talk to Dad before bed btw. So like 2am. It was nice to catch up! I even played a bit of my uke for him.

I must practice in a bit.

Dinner was street tacos and a carnitas burrito. I only ate a quarter of it. Mexican coke is so good! But the sugar content. 😬 No regrets. Haha.

Hope you all had a nice one. Take care!

Good night.

Day 63.

The highlight of my day was visiting our grandma! It’s been weeks since we’ve seen her. I’m glad she’s doing well. ❤️ We said hello to her from a distance. We miss her so much.

We wanted to do some essentials shopping but unfortunately it was too busy. So we’ll save it for another day. We decided on In N Out for lunch. It’s our comfort food. We all had our masks on and ordered from the car. It’s a different world now. It’s difficult to imagine what the future will look like. A day at a time.

Animal Crossing update: I’ve made several improvements on my island. I need permits to really make my island my own. That’ll happen in a few days.

Watched Crazy Rich Asians again. Always a good movie. 😊 Then we watched Wheel of Fortune and Forensic Files.

Just practiced my uke. Yay! Anyway, it was a mellow Thursday. I’m stuffed. We ordered ice cream for dessert. 😬😋 I can’t with junk food these next couple of days.

Hope you’re all well. Take care!

Good night.

Day 61.

Sleep deprivation was real. Bro was leaving for work and our dog loves to greet folks in the morning. That meant an early start for Animal Crossing. My island rating hasn’t gone up yet. My goal is hopefully by the end of the week. I ran out of stones to make anything. I used 2 nook mile tickets too. 😬🙃

I had enough energy to watch Little. It was pretty good. I also snacked on sour patch strawberries. My fave!

I took a much needed nap. Fell asleep for 3 hours. I felt a bit refreshed, but groggy. I had Taco Bell waiting for me. It got cold, but that’s fine. Had birthday cake ice cream for dessert. I ate the last of it. I want more!

Practiced my uke for about 20-30 minutes. I’m trying to memorize Somewhere Over The Rainbow by IZ in the next two weeks. It’s such a beautiful rendition. One of my fave songs!

We’re going to end the night watching episodes of The Simpsons. Happy Birthday to you, Homer! 🥰

Hope you all had a nice Tuesday. Take care!

Good night.

Day 60.

Happy Monday! I didn’t do much today. Yesterday required a lot of energy. But it was all worth it! 💕

I’m doing my best to make my island very attractive and inviting on Animal Crossing. So far I’m at two stars. Hoping to be at four by the end of the week. 🙂

I watched The Simpsons and had a hearty lunch with the fam. Most of it was leftovers. We’re craving Indian food for this week. We’ll try a new spot for delivery.

I took a long nap. I felt really groggy and sluggish.

Played some more Animal Crossing. I planted a lot of flowers and trees. I gotta ramp it up. The villagers want K.K. Slider. Haha.

Mom got her Mother’s Day present. Yay! ❤️

And now I’m just gonna chill for the rest of the night. Gotta practice my uke strumming.

Thinking of our friends tonight. RIP Mike. 🤍

Good night and take care!

Day 59.

Happy Mother’s Day! I hope you all had a lovely day. Some of my favorite memories with Mom: stepping on leaves after preschool when we would walk home, sharing a meal together, watching tv or movies, traveling especially to London, Paris, and Vancouver. Thank you for always being supportive and encouraging me when I’m feeling down. I love you! You’re everything. ❤️

And to all the many maternal figures in my life: thank you for raising me into the woman I am today. I always reflect and remember everything that y’all have given me. Sending so much love today – here on earth and in the heavens above. 💕💐

I slept in. I needed it badly. I was able to get my day going after I woke up.

I left the house for the first time in weeks. It felt nice, but also very foreign. Seeing familiar places gave me comfort. We dropped off cookies at our relatives house. It was a short walk. It was great to see everyone even if it was for 10 minutes. Afterwards we went home. Everyone enjoyed the cookies. Yay! We didn’t get to see our other relatives. Maybe soon? I miss them. I got to talk to our grandma real quick on the phone. I wish I could hug her.

We had burgers for lunch. Always the best! Thankful for delivery. And then we ordered ice cream too. Watched a few episodes of The Simpsons. Classic!

I played a little uke today. Still practicing the songs I want to master.

I took a quick nap. Feeling a bit refreshed. Played Animal Crossing for a few hours today. One of my villagers is moving out. 😭 I didn’t know that could happen, but I get it. Farewell, Chevre!

Hoping to turn in early. But we shall see. I need to catch up on some of my shows.

Have a great week! Take care.

Good night.
