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 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.

Day 45.

Happy Sunday! It’s a new week. 🙂

Animal Crossing is taking over my life. I was gifted a jukebox in the game today. Woo! I’m still trying to collect all the iron nuggets to finish building the shop. It’s taking some time on my part.

We ordered Super Duper for linner. We didn’t get a chance to prepare anything. Our essentials are dwindling so we’ll likely make a quick shopping trip later this week. I honestly believe our shelter in place will be extended here in California and I’m okay with that.

I’m getting frustrated playing games with my family. I haven’t won a game of scene it. We just started trivial pursuit. I’m also winless in that. My chance will come. I’m trying. Sigh.

I gotta practice a bit more on the uke. I’m getting better with the chord changes for Let It Be. G, you will be mastered!!

That was my Sunday. It was decent. Hope y’all had a good day too!

Good night and take care.

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 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 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.

Day 32.

Our dog wasn’t feeling well before we slept. So that caused me to not sleep. At all. Until 9am. 🙃 I slept for about 5 hours and then I got up. I’m hoping for a better night’s sleep tonight.

I finally made dalgona coffee today. I whisked it by hand for about 10 minutes. It was a nice consistency. I added a little more sugar because it was too bitter. It mixed well with regular milk.

Day 5 of uke practice. I learned to strum. That’s going to take some getting used to. I also practiced Let It Be again. I want to get it down! That’s the song I want to play for my family and friends. I’m looking forward to practice every day.

Our Aunt was discharged from the hospital today. She’ll be in quarantine at home for the next two weeks. I just hope our grandma will be okay. Sighhh. Prayers please.

It’s a new week. I’m planning to rest a lot. But I’m also trying to organize my closet. We’ll see how that goes.

Hope you all had a nice Monday.

Good night.

Day 31.

Happy Easter to those who celebrate! We spent the day watching TV, cooking food, and hanging out with the dogs.

Still trying to regulate my sleep. It’s difficult. I don’t take anything for it. Hoping for a better night’s sleep tonight.

I’m on day 4 of uke practice. I’m learning Let It Be. The song has 4 chords. G is still a little tricky for me, but I’ll get the hang of it.

A little worried for our Grandma. She needs to stay away from folks in her household, but she’s surrounded by those who work often. 😬😔 I’m praying for her.

Hoping for a more positive week. My anxiety has skyrocketed since this all started. I’m going to remain optimistic. Be safe and well everyone!

Good night.

Day 28.

Uke practice! I didn’t fall asleep until late because I really just wanted to play already. It’s so much fun. I have learned a few chords and the finger exercises are helping me tremendously. I use the Fender Play app which is free for 3 months. And so many helpful videos on YouTube! 🙂

Cheeseburgers for lunch! Always delicious. My drink was sparkling strawberry water + black currant Ribena. Yay!!

I took a nap. And I just woke up. 😱 Might practice some more. I’m trying to learn I’m Yours, one of my favorite songs.

I’m also watching Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist at night. It’s a good show. Check it out on Hulu.

That was my day. Hope your Thursday went well!

Good night.

Day 27.

I was restless for most of the day. My anxiety was up there. I eventually fell asleep for a few hours, which was nice. ☺️

My uke is here! I won’t be able to unbox it until tomorrow. 24 hour rule for cardboard boxes. Better to be overly cautious than not.

Our aunt has officially tested positive for Covid-19. I sent her a message this afternoon and she says she’s doing okay. She’s a nurse so she was bound to be exposed to it. Her entire household has to be tested. I’m thinking of everyone over there, especially our Lola (grandma) and uncle. I pray that they’re okay.

I got to chat with Brea this afternoon via text. It’s always nice to catch up with a friend. I love to laugh! Haha.

British goodies have been unboxed. I’m so happy! Reminds me of our London tour. I miss it so much.

That was my day. Continuing to wish you all well. Be safe! ❤️

Good night.
