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 62.

Animal Crossing is taking over my life. I’m finally at a 3 star rating for my island. Yay! 😊 I was super happy when I found out. I’m currently waiting for shooting stars. It’s taking a while. Hopefully I see one or a couple.

Practiced my uke. I have to remain consistent even after finishing the 30 day challenge. It’s important to set aside time and that’s what I’ve been doing. Somewhere Over The Rainbow is one of my fave songs. I’m really glad I’m learning it. ❤️

Where is the week going? Time is flying.

I didn’t get to nap so I hope I can get a good night’s sleep. It’ll be a busy day tomorrow since we get to visit family real quick. And maybe a small grocery run.

It was a mellow day for me. A lot of self care and thinking.

Hope you all had a good one. 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.

Day 58.

Sleep was okay. I had an anxiety attack before bed. It made it hard for me to sleep. I had to do some breathing exercises. I eventually fell asleep for a few hours.

I was anxious for the cookie delivery. It was delivered on time. Whew. We’ll figure out how to distribute them tomorrow.

My Animal Crossing house renovation was a success! There’s more room for items and fixtures. Must pay off this current loan to expand once again. I’m making a lot of great progress. AC keeps me on my toes.

Lunch was delicious. Thanks to the sister! She ordered Greek food for us. Always satisfying.

I’m still practicing the uke. After concluding the 30 day challenge, I’ve decided to keep going. I know I need work with chord changes and challenging myself to not look down at the fretboard. I practiced a bit of that this afternoon. I can do about 4 chords. Practice and patience is my motto. Thanks, Dad! I want to get I’m Yours down and Winter Things. Love that song.

I didn’t get to nap today so I’m a little cranky. Hoping to sleep pretty soon. I’m looking forward to seeing some relatives tomorrow even if it’s from a distance. I miss them all so much! ❤️

Hope everyone had a great Saturday. Take good care!

Sweet dreams.

Day 57.

I have completed the 30 day uke challenge! I made it!!! It’s been so much fun learning these last few weeks. Now I plan to brush up on what I’ve learned and memorize songs. It’s bittersweet but the uke has helped me through these tough times. I recorded a bit of my strumming and sent it to our BFF. Affirmation! I just need to be patient with myself and confident. It does wonders. ❤️

I slept okay. I played Animal Crossing first thing in the morning. Priorities. Lol. Paid off my first loan in the game. Onto another one. My house will be bigger tomorrow. Yay for the expansion!

I ordered Mother’s Day gifts. I hope they arrive in time. Fingers crossed.

Played a round of Scene It. Didn’t get the W. I was pretty close. I finished in 2nd. That final clip was something. I will eventually be 1st in due time.

After our game I decided to nap. It was a warm day today so that made me a little tired.

Watched 20/20 tonight and it made me sad. Why are people so cruel? I’ll never understand.

Anyway, I’m looking forward to the weekend. Hope you all had a wonderful Friday. Take care!

Good night.

Day 55.

Happy 89th Birthday, Willie Mays! 🖤🧡 Birthday greetings to our Lola Onen too. We miss you. ❤️

I had a restful night’s sleep! It’s been so long since I could say that. I woke up at about 9am. And then I played Animal Crossing. 😊 Every morning is a little surprise when I start up the game. I love it!

I spent most of the day with the dogs and taking care of some errands at home. I measured a jacket that might be sold. Fingers crossed. I was also preparing myself for a study. I wanted to nap before it, but I did it afterwards instead. I think it went well.

I fell asleep for a few hours and I woke up at 9pm. Overall it was a good day. I had the rest of the taco meat from Taco Bell. Made two tacos, one soft and the other crunchy. I also had carrots, Devon custard, and strawberries. I think today was a fairly healthy day. I did have a handful of candy and that’s alright. 😎

Practiced my uke. Spent 20-30 minutes on it. I’ve learned a bit of I’m Yours. The uke challenge concludes this week, but I’ll continue to learn more chords and songs. I’ve learned so much since day 1! I’m really proud of myself. 💜

Now we’re going to watch some episodes of The Simpsons. But first, some more Animal Crossing. I’m bummed my museum is under renovation, but it’ll be back tomorrow. I wanted to donate some fossils but it’ll be done later.

Hope you all had a pleasant Wednesday. Take care!

Good night.

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.
