Day 276.

Happy Sunday! It’s a new week and I’m so ready for holiday break. 😄 I can’t wait to just do my own thing. I’ve gotta study and focus on my class, but other than that I’ll be happy staying in.

Today is our Lola’s 91st Birthday as well as our cousin, Angelica’s 32nd! It’s so much fun celebrating them both. We were able to swing by our Tita’s house and drop off some drinks, flowers, and balloons. We didn’t stay for very long. We stayed outside too. Happy Birthday to them! We miss everyone. Thankfully we caught each other via FB chat. Great memories even if it was just for a little while to catch up.

We feasted when we got back. We ordered Jollibee and our Tita packed up some Filipino food to go. Everything was delicious! I love Filipino food. I still want to try making sapin sapin for either Christmas or NYE.

Niners lost. 😭💔 Just win the last three games. I’m asking for 2-1!!!

I got to do laundry, tidy up, and wrapped some Christmas gifts. I’m just bummed that one of my gifts won’t arrive in time. Hopefully it does! I really hope.

Lastly, I got to catch up with my BFFs! It’s so nice to hear each other out and laugh. So funny! Good times.

Well, have a great week! Take care.

Good night.

Day 274.

TGIF!!!!! I am screaming. We made it through such a trying week. I’m so proud of my community and my crew. We’ll get through this together. 💗

I had a decent night’s sleep. I did wake up before my alarm. I decided to just play Animal Crossing. It’s legit snowing now!!! I love it. So pretty. I haven’t made a snowman yet. I’m excited!! 😊

More Christmas presents have arrived for family, friends, and colleagues. I love gifting things!

We watched Dateline tonight. It was a good, but very sad report. Sigh. Tough to wrap my head around.

Anyway, it’s raining and it’s calming. I really need this weekend to decompress, reflect, and chill out. We are starting to heal. It’ll take time, but there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Cases are still surging in California. I’m waiting for my Stoggles. Here’s hoping it actually gets delivered tomorrow!! It was originally supposed to arrive today.

Alright, this is good night. Take care and have a great weekend!!

Day 271.

It’s Tuesday!! It was a busy one for me, but all went well. I had my driving lesson before work and then I left early to pick up my new night guard. The fit was perfect! No need to adjust or shave down.

Back to my driving lesson – I still have some things to work on, but I’m making progress! I’m definitely regaining my confidence. I know I’m a safe driver. Hoping to schedule another lesson in January. And then maybe I’ll be good to go on my own in February!! 😁

I bought some greeting cards and snacks at Walgreens. I’m planning to mail out cards this weekend! I just need my holiday stamps. I bought some rubber stamps to add some pizzazz to my handwritten notes and cards.

Gotta take care of scheduling an appointment tomorrow. Thankfully I was able to order my meds first thing this morning. Should arrive on Friday.

Animal Crossing update: Celeste paid Mango a visit! Still no sign of snow. And I’m waiting for the holiday DIYs. Come on!!!

Well, this is good night. Take care!

Day 269.

Happy Sunday! It’s a new week and it’s already quite interesting. I’m anticipating news. As of now, I’m on standby.

I wasn’t able to fall asleep. Had terrible insomnia so I watched Emmymade’s videos. Super fun to watch! I slept in and didn’t get up until 1:30pm.

Animal Crossing update: I played early and bought my turnips! 🙂 I’m also buying toys for Christmas and crafted some things for a friend. I just realized I didn’t save a lot of mushrooms. I missed out. Oh well! I’m looking forward to the Christmas and winter DIYs.

I didn’t get to practice driving today. I didn’t get up in time and I was feeling tired. I also got my COVID results. It’s negative! I’m doing my part to keep myself safe as well as others around me. 😷 Shelter in place is now in effect until January 4th. We can do this!!! 🧡

I watched football all afternoon. Brunch was also tasty. We finally got to cook longanisa!!! So good. 😋

I had a pretty interesting dinner. I finally tried the kimchi we bought a few weeks ago. Super tasty! I’ll have to buy it again.

It was a mellow day for me. Glad I was able to take it easy. Hope y’all had a nice one! Take care.

Good night.

Day 268.

Happy Saturday! Really thankful that I was able to sleep in today. I’m feeling a little under the weather. I hope it’s just seasonal. I’ve had tummy issues for most of the day. I made ramen with egg for dinner. I even took a nap.

I washed some dishes. Much needed! I listened to my music to make the time go faster. 🙂

I ordered some Christmas presents. Just some small things for family and friends. I won’t be going all out this year. I’ll be sending things instead. I talked about that yesterday.

Animal Crossing update: My island is doing alright. Nothing too eventful.

I’m just feeling paranoid is all. It’s still a very scary time. California is sheltering in place again. These next few weeks are super important!! Please stay home and don’t gather.

Be safe and take care!

Good night.

Day 267.

California has a stay at home order. I’m all for it! Cases are still surging. It’s terrifying. Stay safe, everyone!! And if you must leave your home, make sure you’re masked up, keeping your distance, and washing your hands.

So happy it’s Friday! I’m hoping to get as much as I can done on my to do list this weekend. The holiday season is different, but it’s here and I’m excited to write and send some small gifts to family & friends. 2020 has kept me on my toes, but I’m making the most of it.

Animal Crossing update: My island is the same. I did buy some new clothes. Hoping to play some more tomorrow.

Watched a wild 20/20 episode!! It was mind blowing, but I had a feeling.

I might buy a few more things online at Sanrio. And Lesportsac wasn’t able to locate my original order from the 2nd Hello Kitty collection. Thankfully, I ordered another item as a just in case.

Health news: I’m hopeful that things will be okay. I just need to follow up with my medical team. Fingers crossed.

I also had a really good session with my therapist. I love venting!

Well, enjoy the weekend! Take care.

Good night.

Day 266.

Happy Thursday! I’m so ready for the weekend. I’m overthinking a lot right now. I just need to chill out. I hope everything will be fine. Ahh!

It was an earlier day since the sister had a dental appt. I played tourist with my aunt. She went back to her old stomping grounds near the Embarcadero. A stroll down memory lane! It was fun. Afterwards, I went to work. It was a pretty good day. Earl gave us our Christmas presents early. I’ll be handing out gifts before Xmas break. Gotta coordinate that soon.

Animal Crossing update: Pashmina was out and about on Mango. I purchased a robot at Nook’s Cranny. It was a pretty eventful day. I’m still waiting for the snow.

I’ve got another busy day tomorrow. I just want it all to go well!! I’m going to recharge and study this weekend. I’ve gotta make progress. I’m also at a crossroads in my life. Must make moves.

I really want a good night’s sleep. Highlight of my day: my purse arrived today!! The first one I ordered never arrived. I don’t think it’ll get to me anytime soon. Kind of a bummer. 😞 I’ll reach out to customer service again.

Well, I hope you’ve all had a nice day! Take care.

Good night.

Day 264.

I had a pretty good day. Happy December and Happy Tuesday! I slept early last night to pick up my night guard this morning. Turns out it still isn’t ready! 😞😩 So I’ll have to reschedule again. It’s a little frustrating. I hope third time’s the charm.

I took a much needed nap before work. Time moves too fast as of late. Holiday break in 2.5 weeks! Can’t wait. I’ve got things to mail out such as cards and gifts. It’ll all get done!!

Animal Crossing update: The holiday festivities have begun! Christmas trees and lights are popping up on my island. I’m still waiting for snow. I’m selling more things I don’t need and putting things into my storage.

I showered early. So proud of myself! Typically I wait until the end of the night. Love the clean feeling!

I’m excited that one of my Lesportsac bags will be arriving. Not sure about the first order I placed. I hope it’s found, but not feeling confident right now. Hello Kitty rules! I also got my Sanrio goodies in the mail today. Hurrah!! 💗

Well, that was my day. I hope everyone had a nice one. Take care!! 😷

Good night.

Day 263.

I had a case of the Mondays today! It’s difficult returning to my usual routine after having a week off for holiday break. But today went well!

I’m ready to sleep. I’m so sleep deprived. I also have an early morning. I hope to finally pick up my new night guard tomorrow!

My mind is pretty tired right now. I need sleep! It’s hard to stay awake. My eyes are getting heavy.

It’s the final day of Pulmonary Hypertension Awareness Month! I hope I was able to educate someone this time around. Giving Tuesday is tomorrow and I plan on donating to the PHA!

Well, this is good night. Btw, on ACNH, Vivian is moving out. She’s all packed up. I wish her the best!

Take care!

Day 262.

Happy Sunday! My holiday break is officially over. Tears! But that’s okay. There’s so much to look forward to in the next few weeks. I love Christmas! It’s an exciting time despite a tough year.

I finally got to practice driving! I was tired when I woke up, but I decided to do it. If I don’t practice, I’ll never gain confidence. It went well! I even practiced some parallel parking. Woo!! I’ll improve. I know I can. 🙂

My treat for the day was ordering my favorite dessert! It’s always delicious. I really love hojicha. 🧡 I also got to try Fatburger. I watched the Niners game in its entirety today. Great team win! We needed it. Glad to have Mostert, Samuel, and Sherman back!!! ❤️💛

Animal Crossing update: I got my turnips! Woo. And my friend Amy visited my island. Everything is a WIP. Like I said – I’m revamping for all the holiday stuff. Can’t wait!!

I took a much needed nap after my very eventful day. I plan on studying again this week. I’ve been so focused on work that I haven’t focused on my online class. I hope to complete my module this week.

Lastly, it’s a scary time in the SF Bay Area. California as a whole. Please continue doing your part during the pandemic! It’s important to keep your distance. Be safe!!! 😷

Take care and good night!
