Baby steps.

Proud of myself for putting forth some effort and challenging my thought patterns as of late. I’m capable! The only thing stopping me is me. I don’t want to jump to conclusions or anything like that, but I’m also trying to be rational about the situation.

It’s fun trying to get to know someone new. Maybe I’ll have some more opportunities these next few days. But until then, I’m going to chill out, take care of school work, and catch up on sports!

I’m just very curious right now, but let’s not get too excited. Be cool. 🤪😎

Covid-19 is back in the household. I hope it’s completely gone in a week! Oh my goodness. It’s so inconvenient. 😫 Patience. Tested myself and I’m negative.

Well, back to A Tourist’s Guide to Love.

Good night.

Rain rain go away!

Thankful that most of CA is out of the drought. But this current weather pattern is too much. It’s officially spring and we’re still dealing with winter storms! Please make it stop. 😫

I had a good day yesterday. Finished our midterm group project, presented, and saw my lupus team. So very grateful for clinic! They’re my biggest cheerleaders. 💜🫶🏼 Felt good to be affirmed. Now I just need to own it!

Took a long nap, but I’m about to just ko. And all I ate were pastries. 🙃 Dealt with a bad case of heartburn too! Getting older is an adventure.

And congrats to Japan for winning the WBC! 🇯🇵⚾️

Well, this is good night! Byeee.

Freedom!

I was officially Covid free on March 4th! I was relieved. 🥰 Isolation taught me to enjoy the little things. I missed all types of cuisine. I’m eating and taking in every scent and flavor!!!

Dealing with some worries, but I just need to start. I’m lacking motivation. Still dealing with some fatigue from the virus.

Looking forward to a lot of new and great things! The weather is making me moody though. More rain in the SF Bay Area. Please make it stop! 😩

Baseball is almost back! I’m so excited. As for basketball, the Dubs aren’t doing so great. 😞

I had a long day and I just want to sleep. 😴 But I have a feeling this light rain will keep me up.

Good night.

Farewell February.

I had a lot of hope and excitement in the beginning of the month! But of course, life happens.

Still isolating from school, work, and the fam. I resume normal activities in a few days! I hope I’m Covid negative soon. I’m restless. Yearning to be independent again. I’ll never take doing my laundry, making my own food, and running my own errands for granted.

Not the best start for 36, but that’s okay. Patience! I’m almost there. I can feel it.

Now I need to read and type up a reflection. Still slaying even when I’m not 100%. Still missing Beari a lot. ❤️🐻❤️

Good night and Go Dubs!

36! 🥳

Officially 36. And I tested positive for Covid on my bday. 😫 After avoiding it for 3 years! I was so proud of that. SMH. Retested today and I’m still positive. Sense of smell and taste are almost 100% and no fever! Hurrah. It’s just the cough and fatigue left. Please leave my body.

Isolating is tough! When everyone else is around and you’re stuck in your room. Hopefully just a few more days of this! I miss my routine and independence. Please send good thoughts and prayers. I ordered delivery – Korean food and boba to cheer me up. 😋

Good night.

Updates.

Carlos Correa is no longer a Giant. Slim chance he could be, but who knows at this point. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Happy Holidays to you and yours! It’s been a trying year so I wasn’t in a festive mood. I guess you can say I was the Grinch. Maybe next year? I miss Beari too much. We didn’t even decorate. 😭

Resting as much as I can before school and work start up again. I’m also cleaning and hoping to donate + sell things I don’t need anymore.

I’m crushing hard. But I guess I can save that story for another day. Lol. I’m shy. Really!!!!

I’ve been eating a lot of junk food. Why not?! And I’m playing for 3rd place in FF. LFG!!!! 🏈

Hope all is well! 💜

b

Depressed.

I’ve always been one to hide my depression. I’ll usually play it off as anxiety. These last two weeks, I’ve dealt with high functioning depression. I’m pretty much on autopilot and faking a smile.

We have a very sick dog at home and I’m feeling helpless. She needs surgery, but we can’t finance it! So what do we do next? 😭💔 It hurts my head and heart thinking about potential scenarios. She’s still very much aware. She’s just in pain. I want to scream!!!!! AHHHHHHH. 😫

I feel hopeless too. I try to stay optimistic but as of late I don’t feel or think it.

Doing my best to hold on. I’m absolutely terrified.

Please keep me and my family in your thoughts. We definitely need lots of prayers. Thank you!

Good night.

b

Triggered.

Don’t ever comment on someone’s physical appearance! This happened to me at work yesterday. You’re a shit person if you do that. This person isn’t aware of my own personal health struggles. And I don’t care to inform her because it’s none of her damn business. I’ve always dealt with self-esteem issues even before I got sick. It doesn’t cost a thing to be kind!

I am strong. I am worthy! I’m proud of myself. 💜

b

Sick.

I returned from Boston on Monday. I started to lose my voice that night. I was on vocal rest for a few days. Returned to work on Thursday and doing my best to get healthy! I tested myself for Covid and it came back negative. Doing another PCR test later.

I’m still coughing which sucks. Tea and throat drops are helping. I just want my normal voice back!

I’ve been quite tired too and I need to catch up on school work. Still going through vacation pics and trying to figure out which ones to share. It takes me forever.

Had a good therapy session! Cut it short because of my throat. I hope I’m in the clear in about a week.

Following postseason baseball on Twitter and the MLB app. BEAT LA 😎

I can’t stay awake anymore. Good night.

b

Discouraged.

I guess I need to figure out another way to fundraise for Beari. 🐶 It would be cool to meet our fundraising goal, but I’m aware that may not happen. She’s had a tough week. We need to start chemo soon. It’s making me anxious and worried.

I’m still an emo mess. Life’s been tough and I’m trying to stand tall despite it all at this point in time. Sigh. I’ve been wanting to cry a lot and the tears aren’t coming. So here’s a crying emoji 😭

It’s a new month so I’m hopeful. Been busy with school and work. On top of the other responsibilities I’m juggling. I also need to redo my room! That’s still a work in progress.

Breathe. Take it a day at a time. That’s all I can do. Hoping/praying for the best.

Hope everyone is doing well. Here’s the donation link again. Thank you.
