Day 288.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone! I hope it’s been a wonderful day. I stayed up playing Animal Crossing again and it was worth it. I finally completed the festive DIY set. Woo!!! The big festive tree was the last one that I needed. Before bed I also rewatched Dash & Lily. I also watched While You Were Sleeping with Mom. Btw, that’s me and the twin up there when we were in preschool.

I helped with cooking Christmas dinner. I made deviled eggs. It’s been a unique celebration, but I’m thankful to be at home with family. We were able to chat with our relatives too! I got to text with friends as well.

I’ve played a lot of Animal Crossing as the day progressed. Currently watching the last of the NBA games. Leonard was injured just now. Lots of blood! 😱 I hope he’ll be okay.

Just had some eggnog and I’m ready to open presents. We’re about to play Christmas Jeopardy! It’s fun.

We’re making the most of this Christmas. Stay safe and be well! Off to play more games.

Good night.

Day 287.

Happy Thursday! It’s Christmas Eve!! 🥰 I’ve played a lot of Animal Crossing. It was Toy Day!!! I got some new recipes and I got to gift my villagers their presents. So fun! Jingle was so cool. I love special events. I stayed up trying to find more DIY recipes. It’s ruined my sleep. 😬😂

I got to see Jamie and we exchanged gifts from a distance. Our aunt also dropped off our favorite fruit tart. Thank you!! 😋

Before bed last night, I watched The Bee Gees doc on HBO Max. I love learning new things about them. They’re gifted writers. I love their music! I miss Maurice, Robin, and Andy. 😭😩 I love watching Barry’s interviews. I listened to some of their songs this afternoon. Too Much Heaven and Massachusetts remind me of my childhood.

Doggies are clean for Christmas. Glad we were able to finally bathe them!! 🥰 They hate it, but thankfully we were quick. All they ever want afterwards is a nice blanket to lie down on.

I had some eggnog with a hint of whiskey and cinnamon. It was pretty good! We’re enjoying our fave snacks and treats during the holiday season. It’s a unique one this year, but we’re making the most of it.

Lastly, I finally opened my Hello Kitty Tamagotchi! It’s so small compared to the original. It’s still fun though.

Hope y’all had a nice one. Take care and be safe!!

Good night.

Day 286.

Happy Wednesday! I didn’t do much today. I finished sending out the rest of my holiday cards. That was a relief. I still have a few more presents to wrap up. I’m planning to clean up a bit before Friday! I can’t believe that Christmas is almost here.

We were able to grocery shop today. Yay! I stay home for all of that, but I help by unloading and putting things away. I really miss pre-COVID times. I know the world won’t be the same after all of this. 😭 I’m just thankful for food. ❤️

Anyway, I got to practice playing Last Christmas on my uke. It’s a lot of fun! I love learning new songs. I’ll probably learn some other Christmas songs too.

Animal Crossing update: it’s been something trying to get these festive DIYs. I only have 4 in total! I’ve stayed up just trying to get all of them. Here’s hoping I find another one tonight. 🥴🙃

I really want to watch The Bee Gees documentary. Maybe tonight? Or another holiday movie? I don’t know.

Planning to catch up with friends in the next few days. Can’t wait! Oh yeah, my highlight of the day: getting my Pat McGrath lipstick in the mail. Woo! Love the color.

Hope y’all had a good one. Take care and be safe!

Good night.

Day 284.

Happy Monday! Here’s to the first week of holiday break. It’s going well so far.

I stayed up playing Animal Crossing. What’s new?! The gamble wasn’t the greatest. I found one holiday DIY recipe. I found another a few hours ago. The spawn rate isn’t very high. What’s worked for me: play a little, save my progress, recharge, and start again. A balloon present usually shows up fairly quickly.

The rest of my Monday consisted of writing holiday cards (I’m nowhere near done!), ordered my meds, and then got ready for my PFTs. I hope my results are good. I got a little lightheaded breathing in and out completely. After I finished, I treated myself to a decaf white chocolate mocha and a birthday cake pop. It’s the little things! 🥰 I also got to look at the GGB from afar.

Ordered some of our fave comfort foods. 2020 is winding down and I’m really hopeful for 2021! I’m currently listening to *NSync’s Christmas album. We’re planning on watching Bohemian Rhapsody before bed tonight. I also need to wrap some presents and send them on their way. Excited to wrap my family’s gifts too. The tree is still a little bare. 😬 And some packages will be arriving after Christmas. That’s expected.

The highlight of my day: my brwngrlz earrings arrived today! I’m totally going to rock them. Woo! 🌞

It’s going to be very busy these next few days, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m looking forward to cleaning, donating, and possibly posting some items online. That all depends on how productive I want to be. Lol!

Hope y’all had a nice one. 4 more days until Christmas!!!! 🎄

Good night.

Day 273.

Happy Thursday! It’s been a heavy and trying week, but I’m getting by. I just need to continue processing. I’m slowly getting to the anger phase. I’m just disappointed, sad, and betrayed. How can you trust again after all of this? 😭💔

There were schedule changes at work. We were supposed to have an assigned classroom, but it turns out that that won’t happen until tomorrow. It was exhausting pushing a cart up San Francisco hills. Whew! I got through it. 😬🙃

We had In-N-Out for dinner! I had a hamburger with grilled onions and animal style fries. So good!!!

Some of my Christmas presents for family have arrived. Woo!!

Animal Crossing update: Speaking of Christmas – the first snow is here! Mango is looking great. I can’t wait until the entire island is covered in snow.

It’s almost the weekend. I’m ready!! Hope y’all had a nice one. Take care!

Good night.

Day 249.

Happy Monday! I had a case of the Mondays. It was hard to get up. I made some calls too before work. Not fun. I hope the insurance stuff gets sorted out. PLS!!!

Work went well. I thought I lost a pen. Turns out I left it at home. Hurrah! 🙂 Boss had to leave early because of a family emergency. Good news: everything is okay!! 💕

Made spam and rice for dinner. Always a treat! Didn’t have eggs so we just sliced tomatoes. After that I washed the dishes. I love having everything clean! Can’t deal with dirty dishes in the sink.

Animal Crossing update: I caught maple leaves! So cool. I also logged 300 hours of play! I started back in April. Planning to revamp my island so it’s ready for the holiday season. 🎅🏼

I’m thinking about getting another Sanrio Lesportsac bag. I love the brand and their collabs are always so much fun!

Well, I must get ready for bed. Early day for me tomorrow. I get my new night guard!! I’ve got two more fillings as well. Should be a good day. Rain is in the forecast. ☔️

I’m also trying to figure out holiday gifts. I think I mentioned that the other day. It won’t be anything too wild. I’ll probably have to mail them out this year.

Please continue to keep your distance, wash your hands, and most importantly – wear your mask!!! Hope y’all had a nice one. Take care!

Good night.

Day 234.

[Sunday, November 1, 2020]

Happy Sunday! I slept in. I ate a lot of candy.

Watched the Niners game. We didn’t do so well. 😬😭 We’re now 4-4. ❤️💛

Animal Crossing update: Mushrooms are now growing on Mango. I miss the Halloween festivities already, but I’m ready for Christmas & the holiday season! 🎄

It’s a new week! There’s a lot of anxiety and uncertainty. Election Day is almost here. Make sure to vote!!!

I also got to study for a bit and did a load of laundry. Weekend has been successful! Today is also the 10th anniversary of the 2010 World Series. Giants!!! 🖤🧡🖤🧡

Good night and take care!

Day 233.

Happy Halloween! 🖤🧡🎃👻 It’s different this year, but that’s okay. We created our own fun! We watched Casper, #Alive, and we’re about to put on Halloweentown 2.

It was nice to be able to sleep in. I stayed up the night before.

I washed dishes. I didn’t do much else.

Animal Crossing update: Jack the Czar is in town! I got candy from my villagers and gave Jack his lollipops. I believe I got every DIY recipe and special holiday items. But after tomorrow – I wanna decorate for Christmas! In the game and in real life.

I’ve snacked on so much candy and junk. I’m so full. 😬😂🙃

We watched the live broadcast of SNL too. It was a great episode! 👍🏼

Well, this is good night. Hope everyone had a bunch of tricks and treats! Take care.

Day 228.

Happy Monday!

I’ve been feeling super tired. Not getting enough sleep last night could be a factor. I also dealt with the sun today and no cap. Photosensitivity is a pain! 😞 Btw maskne is real and I’m dealing with it. My skin is dry and irritated! I was able to shower after work and just lie down. Energy levels are low.

Work went well. Mondays are always tough. I had a 4-day weekend and that just came and went. Sighhh. The weekend will be here again soon enough.

I’m currently dealing with food coma. The nachos were legit. The churro was delicious and so was the tres leches slice of cake. 😍😋 I’m done for the night.

Animal Crossing update: Penelope is settled in and wandering the island. I’m still trying to figure out what I’ll be wearing for Halloween in the game. I’ve got a few more days to finalize. Should be fun!

America needs change. We are 8 days away from the election. VOTE!

That was my day. Hope y’all had a nice one. Take care!

Good night.

Day 209.

It’s Wednesday! We’ve made it to the middle of the week. 💗

Today was our Tito Rino’s funeral. I wish I could’ve been there, but it’s still too risky. I said a prayer for him. He’s truly missed. 🤍 Family over everything. It’s important to keep in touch with everyone on the regular especially during the pandemic and once life normalizes again.

I had to get up early to watch the dogs. They’re such a handful. Rascals! I had coffee and snacks to keep me going for a few hours. I played Animal Crossing to pass the time. Tex is moving in. Kinda wish I would’ve found my own villager, but that’s fine. I know for next time to seek a new one out ASAP.

I was able to clean, apply Vaseline, and put a new bandage on my skin – the one near my eye and the one near my armpit. Must take care of it daily.

Did a load of laundry after my shower. I was so productive today! Planning to clean tomorrow.

Caught part of the VP debate. I didn’t watch all of it. Progress needs to be made again in our country. Protect womyn and their rights! Protect those with underlying conditions! Let’s have a conversation about racial & social justice, climate change, global warming, and the importance of science. We need strong leaders! BIDEN HARRIS 2020! 💙

Watched Postseason baseball. Disappointed that the Padres didn’t tie the series versus LA. 😒 They gotta win the next one to stay afloat in the series. I hope they do. BEAT LA!!!! 🖤🧡

Still dealing with anxiety and being sad. I’ll make it! I know I will. My feelings are valid. Suppressing them won’t help me. Acceptance. Still staying away from a certain dating app. Once I’m brave again – I’ll return.

Hope y’all had a nice one. Take care!

Good night.
