Day 145.

Today was an adventure. I won’t elaborate much, but there was a lot of mental gymnastics involved.

I had to calm my brain down so I decided to bake banana bread. My younger sister came through with the assist! We made one with chocolate and the other had walnuts. I love banana bread! It’s up there with pumpkin bread. 😋

After baking I started to feel tired. I did watch some Moesha on Netflix. I napped afterwards. I got 3 hours in! I’m pretty motivated right now to study up on my TEFL course. I’m still brainstorming for work too. Might as well be productive until I get tired.

Lots of happy mail these last few days. Maybe I’ll post a pic of the stuff that’s come in.

Animal Crossing update: I missed the scorpion yesterday and I missed the scorpion tonight. I just want to capture one to donate to my museum. It’s so frustrating! It bit me twice yesterday. I have until October to capture one. I can do this!

The Giants took the L again in Colorado. We’re 5-7. Yeesh. Go Giants forever! Whether they’re good or bad, I’ll always cheer for them. 🖤🧡 #loyalty

Hope y’all had a nice one. Take care! 😷

Good night.

Day 142.

Dating apps haven’t been treating me well. I really don’t like it when people are rude! Pet peeve. Moving on.

Anyway, it was a pretty chill day for me. I slept in for a bit and decided to get started on lunch: oven baked bacon mac & cheese. This was a different recipe. The bacon was also frozen and I was too impatient to fry it on the stovetop. I shoulda just fried it instead of opting for the oven. Lesson learned. It turned out okay. Pretty delicious, but was definitely missing the crisp factor.

I watched some NBA games on tv and listened to the Giants game on the radio for a few innings. I was feeling a little under the weather. It might’ve been the bacon. So I took a nap. It helped! Giants with the W!!! Solano is rolling.

Now I’m a bit more awake. Just snacked on some chips and chocolate. Made another plate of garlic mashed potatoes and mac & cheese.

Animal Crossing update: It was a typical day on my island. The villagers are super excited about the fireworks tomorrow. I am too! Should be a lot of fun.

I’m hoping to be more productive tomorrow. I’d like to start my class soon. I’m also brainstorming for my potential courses. Would also like to visit our grandma and say hello from afar. We miss her! ❤️

Hope y’all had a nice Saturday. Take care!

Good night.

Day 140.

Happy Thursday! It’s almost the weekend. 😎

I was able to buy the Colourpop Sailor Moon eyeshadow palette. The blushes were in my cart, but I didn’t check out fast enough and they sold out. I hope there’s another restock. I was a bit frustrated with the process tbqh. I wasn’t alone in feeling that. The collection was released at 10am PDT. I entered the contest on IG, Twitter, and FB for a chance to win the entire collection. So maybe there’s luck on my side. 🙂

I stayed up watching the first season of Ashley Garcia: Genius in Love. It’s such a cute show and the cast is really good. I might start Part 2 tonight.

It’s been a busy, but productive week! I’ve got some things to prep for the potential after school enrichment courses I might be teaching in the Fall. Must brainstorm! It’s different from what I typically take care of at work, but it’s a nice way to share my passions with the community. 🙂 It was nice catching up with the boss.

I also caught up with my therapist on the phone after three weeks. It’s great to just talk and get her perspective.

Listened to some of the Giants game on the radio. Watched a bit of the Clippers/Lakers game too. Basketball is back!

There’s a lot to do these next upcoming weeks, but I’m looking forward to the change. Yay!

Animal Crossing update: Bought another painting from Redd. I check online to make sure it’s authentic. It was! Finally caught the gigas giant clam. It was challenging to get. It took me a few tries. I donated it to my island’s museum!

Uke update: I’m playing Somewhere Over The Rainbow with less errors. This is huge! I even recorded audio of me playing this afternoon. I sound good. When I’m really comfortable I’ll shoot a video to share with friends and family.

A&W rules btw! I love their Coney Cheese dog and curds.

Well, that was my day. Hope yours went well! Take care always.

Good night.

Day 134.

I didn’t do much today. I watched a lot of Netflix – The Kissing Booth 2 and Indian Matchmaking. I love learning about different cultures. I like the show! Nadia is a Queen.

I took a nap after lunch. We had Shake Shack. I went with my usual order. I love it so much!

Giants with another L in LA. I’ll always love them. Trust the process. 🖤🧡 It’s not pleasant to watch, but I’ll watch whether they win or lose.

Hoping for a really productive weekend. Must find my new desk and dresser. Gotta make moves this August! Planning to take a course online too as part of my career goals. 🙂

Animal Crossing update: Redd stopped by. All the art was fake except a painting I already donated to the museum. I bought it again to display it in my house. Looking forward to that tomorrow! Didn’t swim for my daily scallop. Might do that before bed.

Enjoy the weekend! Take care.

Good night.

Day 132.

I’m going to keep it short and simple tonight. Hope everyone had a nice Wednesday! 🧡

  • Woke up at a decent time. Watched a few Glee episodes. I’m almost done with s1! 🙂
  • Took a nap because I still felt tired.
  • Made myself a 🌭 for National Hot Dog Day. Woo!
  • Washed the dishes.
  • Played my uke. I needed the music.
  • Had tacos for dinner.
  • Played some Animal Crossing. Got a new DIY recipe from Pascal. New villager moved in. Yay!
  • Created another dating profile. Trying to be patient with myself and this process.
  • Caught up with the BFFs via text.
  • Took another nap. I just woke up.
  • Now it’s time to really call it a night. May sneak in another Glee epi.

Take care everyone!

Day 130.

Mondaze!

I’m feeling a little sick right now. The combo of eating too much and not getting enough sleep is getting to me. 😩🤢

I watched Glee, helped with dinner, washed dishes, baked cupcakes, and put my ita bag together. I love it! I have some room for an Animal Crossing pin.

Did a lot of thinking and reflecting today. I feel lost and a little hopeless right now regarding the next few months. My anxiety. 😢

Animal Crossing update: my island is doing alright. I didn’t swim today. Might do it before bed. Would love a new DIY recipe.

I played a lot of Scrabble and Trivia Crack today. Helps me keep my mind off of things.

Baseball is officially back. I’ll support the Giants this season, but it’s different. I miss the ballpark! Nice preseason W. 🖤🧡

Alright, I’m just going to lie down for a bit. I hope I feel better. Hope y’all had a nice Monday! Take care.

Good night.

Day 129.

Lazy Sunday. Like super. Lol. I slept in. Enjoy this lovely pic of Henry Golding and Chris Pang. 😍 #CRA

Animal Crossing update: I woke up too late to buy turnips. This is the first time I’ve missed Daisy Mae. I don’t want to time travel. I play in real time so I’ll just wait until next week. I did get the recipe for the mermaid chair from Pascal!

Lunch was good. I had a bacon cheeseburger from A&W and a root beer. So good! I must lay off the fast food. I’m back to eating terribly. Planning to turn that around this week. The pandemic has changed a good chunk of my routine. Gotta fight sliding back into bad habits. I know I can do better!

Took a nice long nap in the afternoon. Played some AC once I woke up.

I’ve been playing a lot of Scrabble. It’s a lot of fun! My opponents are really good, but I’m keeping up.

That was my Sunday. Hope y’all had a nice one and enjoyed ice cream on National Ice Cream Day! I had a Snickers ice cream bar. Nomzzz.

Good night.

Day 128.

It was a junk food kind of day – cookies, candy, and chips! I’ve been meh for the last few days. I’m hoping to exercise soon.

Lazy Saturday for me. 🙂 I woke up at about 9am, but slept in up until 2pm. I slept fairly early last night too.

Animal Crossing update: Pascal gave me the mermaid rug DIY. Dropped two presents in the water. I hope it wasn’t bells. Oh well.

I took a nap after I ate lunch. I had a nice cup of regular tea, but it didn’t keep me awake.

We just finished watching Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights. So good! 💃🏻 Might watch another movie. We’ll see.

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

Good night.

Day 127.

It’s been such a busy, but fulfilling day. There’s so much to celebrate! This morning, family, friends, mentors, and colleagues witnessed Mr. Dale become a Doctor. Congratulations Dale!!! You’ve worked so hard for this. It’s amazing! Excited for your move back to California. 🥰🎉

I didn’t go back to sleep after the presentation. I decided to have a cup of tea and made myself breakfast. Afterwards, we took our dog out to the backyard. It was a short visit because we saw another Yellowjacket! 😱 We went inside right away.

Tackled dirty dishes too. Best chore ever! It was a productive morning for me. I was able to take a short breather before I had to get ready for the lab – my monthly blood draw. My aunt gave me a lift. I had to do some running around once I got there since the previous standing orders expired. It all worked out. Whew.

Animal Crossing update: Pascal gave me the DIY recipe for the mermaid bed. Yay!!! I’ve got a few more to get. I want the entire collection.

When I got home I showered. I was able to catch the FB Live Q&A with the PH Association. It was very informative and I learned so much! Then I knocked out for a few hours. My sleep was refreshing.

I had pizza and sushi for dinner. Great combo! British snax arrived today too. Three days early! Happy stomachs. 🍫🍪

Well, that was my Friday. Thankful for everything. The pandemic is still roaring here in the US. It’s scary and it gives me a lot of anxiety. Numbers are increasing once again in California. I just want normalcy, but that’ll be a while. Please continue to keep your distance and wear a mask! It’s absolutely vital. 😷 Take care!

Good night.

Day 124.

Hello! 😄

I had a pretty decent day. I had about nine hours of sleep. It was much needed. I haven’t done that since a regular work day. I miss it! I played Animal Crossing right away. It’s my morning routine as of late. To be honest – it’s been this way since I started playing in April. I love the game! 🥰 Put my playground together too.

I used our exercise bike today. I’m pretty beat. My legs felt like jello after about 12 minutes. I give myself breaks in between, but it’s hard. I applaud myself for completing the task today. 💜

Helped the sister with dinner. Glad I was able to assist! We made spaghetti and meatballs with garlic bread. 😋

We finished Last Christmas in the afternoon and I was on the verge of tears. The story caught me by surprise. I’ll have to rewatch it again. Love the cast!!! We’re also rewatching Glee together. Season 1 takes me back! I was still in community college when I first started watching. Time really flies. I miss the 2010s. And we watched an episode from the new Unsolved Mysteries. It was sad. Justice for Alonzo Brooks!

The current state of the world makes me anxious, angry, and sad. Life is short. Live your best life! I bought an ita bag just for the heck of it. Can’t wait to display my fave pins from my fandoms.

I’m going to make myself a cuppa tea. Decaf English breakfast. Yes! 💖 Take care, everyone.

Good night.
