Day 83.

It was another warm day in the city. I woke up at a decent time, but decided to nap after playing Animal Crossing.

I washed dishes. I don’t like having dishes in the sink whether it’s during the day or overnight. So that allowed me to be productive.

Played with the dogs before I had to pay a bill. They’re so silly.

Watched Gordon Ramsay’s show on Hulu. The restaurant makeover one. I always look forward to the final results. The episode we watched was of a restaurant in Hermosa Beach, CA. Hope they’re still doing well.

Helped make dinner – spinach & cheese ravioli with garlic bread. After that, I practiced some of my uke. I’m getting better at chord transitions.

I exercised after dinner. Yoga and my new ab roller! I’m staying consistent. I miss junk food, but I need to lead a healthier lifestyle. I need to improve my sleeping habits too.

That was my Wednesday. The week is flying! Hope you all had a nice one.

Good night.

Day 82.

My yoga session yesterday took me out today. My upper body is very sore. I wanted to close my rings tonight on my watch, but we shall see. It hurts to move. I need 22 more minutes of exercise.

It was a warm day in SF. It hit 81 in the neighborhood. The cool down starts on Thursday.

I’m so sleepy right now. I would nap, but it’s so close to bedtime. It’s hard to keep my eyes open. Ahh!

Practiced my uke after a few episodes of Unsolved Mysteries. I cleaned a bit today too. Most of it was recycling and shredding old papers.

I played some Animal Crossing too. I’m hoping one of my villagers moves out. Might be a while. I haven’t caught a shark yet. Maybe tomorrow! All the new bugs on the island are really cool.

Well, that was my day. Hope your Tuesday was great.

Good night.

Day 79.

I watched My Neighbor Totoro before bed. I liked it! I must watch Hayao Miyazaki’s other films. Totoro is so cute!!

Today was rough. My stomach issues from yesterday carried over. 😔 I slept some of it off, but my stomach started hurting later on in the day. I ate a little bit, but it kinda made it worse.

I played Animal Crossing as soon as I woke up. My island rating went up since our new villager moved in. And the store will be renovated so no shopping for a day or two.

I practiced yoga again today. It’s only a 30 minute session, but it’s helping me with my flexibility, breathing, and meditating. I’ve been quite anxious as of late so I have an outlet to release. I’m also restarting my weight loss journey. I can!

Unsolved Mysteries has been on loop at home. So many old episodes that I remember but also a lot of new ones.

Hoping to sleep early tonight. We’ll see. I want to practice my uke too.

Good night.

Day 76.

The cool down started in the city today. I miss the warm weather, but I’m okay with a chilly day.

I stayed up watching Sweet Magnolias. I finished it! I hope the show returns for s2. What a cliffhanger! I used to watch Hart of Dixie. The funny thing is I haven’t finished that show. I think I must. I have a few episodes left. Maybe I can get to it this weekend.

I slept in to catch up on sleep. I got up before 3pm which has been typical for me during quarantine. I squeezed in a bowl of porridge before eating lunch. We spent the afternoon watching Unsolved Mysteries. Played a few hours of Animal Crossing. I’m happy to announce I’ve paid off another loan. My third room is being built. I need more bridges and inclines on my island. That’s the goal. Let’s get to 4 stars!

Today was a rest day for me. I’m quite sore since I had a yoga session yesterday. It’s a yoga day tomorrow. 🙂 I also practiced my uke. It helps me destress.

That was my Wednesday. Hope you all had a nice one. Take care.

Good night!

Day 73.

Happy Sunday! ❤️

Lack of sleep messed me up and I’ve been tired but I made the most of the day. It was beautiful today. The weather’s been so nice.

I’d like to think I’m making good progress on Animal Crossing. I made new signs for my orchard, sold a bunch of stuff, and made it to bells island! It’s rare. Glad I saved my nook miles ticket.

We had Panda Express for lunch. I also had it for dinner. Can’t keep away from the orange chicken. I took a long nap after watching a few episodes of Unsolved Mysteries. The ultimate throwback. Robert Stack was the best!

I caught up with friends via text today too. We just watched The Simpsons Movie, Sex and the City epis, and now we’re watching The Land Before Time. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen this movie. Childhood memories. 💜

Enjoy the holiday tomorrow. Wishing you all a good night!

Day 72.

A fairly productive day. 👍🏼

I spent my afternoon watching Sex and the City with my sisters. It’s one of our favorite shows. E! was having a marathon, but we decided to watch on HBO Now. Still so funny after all these years.

I tried to clean, but I was distracted with Animal Crossing. Jamie and I played together for a bit. I still want to do more with my island, but I don’t know where to start. I’m a little frustrated. 😬 But I will not compare my island. This is my first go at the game. I think I’m doing alright.

Had Taco Bell for dinner. Yum. A family favorite.

Dealing with my time of the month. I’m in pain at the moment. It’ll be like this for the next few days. Normalize periods! But hey, on the bright side I’m safe at home and can deal with the pain in peace. Lol. #crampssuck

I took a long nap. I’m a bit groggy, but that’ll subside soon. Planning to play a bit more Animal Crossing and practice my uke. 🙂

And that was my Saturday. I really want 🍫🍪🍭. Yaaaas.

Good night. 💜

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.
