Day 122.

Happy Sunday! 🙂

I spent the day watching Supermarket Sweep, playing Animal Crossing, and had a jam session with my uke. I’m getting more comfortable with switching chords. Yay!

We were invited to a small gathering, but had to politely decline due to the pandemic. I hope everyone had a great time. We miss our friends! ❤️

I bought an AC cap of Celeste. She’s one of my favorite characters. There’s a crew neck I’m looking at on Etsy too. It’s nice that they’re located in California so if I move forward with the purchase I won’t have to wait too long.

I went on the exercise bike for 10 minutes. I call it a victory! I’ve gotta monitor my heart rate. If it’s too high, I slow down or I take a quick break. Having chronic conditions have been tough, but I’m tougher. I’ll always be resilient!

The treat of the day for the fam was ordering matcha drinks and soft serve. I missed it so much! 😋🍦🍵

Well, I hope y’all had a nice one. Take care!

Good night.

Day 121.

Happy Saturday! It was laundry day for me. I love clean blankets and sheets. 😊 I woke up at a decent time today too.

Spent some of our afternoon in the backyard. Dogs wanted to be in the sunshine. So cute. They’re a handful, but we love them both so much. ❤️🐶❤️

Animal Crossing update: I participated in the Fish Tourney. I redeemed my points for a fish crossbody. So cute. I even got to hang out with my cousin on his island. I dropped off bells and a birthday gift. Happy Birthday, Adrian! 🥳🎂 Thanks for coordinating, Katie. 💕

We’ll be watching Dumb and Dumber tonight. Yay! One of our favorite movies.

It was a mellow Saturday. I hope I sleep at a reasonable time tonight. We’ll see. Lol. Take care!

Good night.

Day 120.

TGIF! This week was hard, but I made it. I hope I’ll get to relax and chill out this weekend. I’ve got plans to clean. 😎

I stayed up watching The Sinner. The ending of s1 was so good. I know s3 just ended. Probably won’t be on Netflix until the Fall or Winter. Might start watching Glee again. The first time around I only watched half of s1.

Animal Crossing update: Pascal gave me a pearl. Canberra is leaving my island. Time to find a new villager! Haven’t used any NMT in a week or so. I’ve gotta move some buildings around too. Flowers are outta control. Lol.

My new face masks and skincare products arrived today! I’m embracing the aging process, but it’s important to take care of your skin. I ordered some new sunscreen too. I hope I like it.

We just made cupcakes! I had two. I might have another. Haha. I may watch Sleepless in Seattle before bed tonight.

Gonna play a bit of my uke. I need to practice.

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

Good night.

Day 119.

This pandemic has been weighing on me. The news as of late in the US hasn’t been helping. There are more cases. It’s worrisome. As much as we’d like to normalize our lives like it was before, I really don’t see that happening anytime soon. The numbers are astonishing. Across the country it seems like there is no end in sight. It’s scary! I’ll continue to listen to science. The medical professionals know what they’re talking about. I’ve been around hospitals since I was 17 years old. I’ve made it this far. Please comply! 😷

I didn’t have the greatest of days. I feel like I’m in a funk. I hope to snap out of it eventually, but I’m allowing myself to go through it. I used to suppress my feelings and emotions. It’s not healthy. It’s okay to let it out and there’s nothing wrong with crying.

Highlight of my day: I got the mermaid screen DIY from Pascal today. Yay! It’s so pretty. I think I have all the materials to craft it.

This week has been up and down. I hope I’ll be in a better headspace in a few days. Ultimately I’m in a slump. My mind is still kinda stuck in March, especially the last day of work. The ending was premature. Doesn’t sit right with me.

Anyway, I’ll end it here. I might watch a movie to cheer me up tonight. Hope y’all had a nice Thursday. Take care.

Good night!

Day 116.

Happy Monday! Still feeling meh. I did get to fold some laundry and put my belongings away. Yay! I also placed my next shipment of medication. Last week I was told that I was too early to call. That hasn’t happened before. Good thing I remembered to get in touch.

I played a lot of Animal Crossing today. I almost had the scorpion. I got stung again. 😞 I’ll catch my first one eventually. I hope it’s soon. Celeste’s on my island. So many shooting stars. And today is Mira’s birthday. Happy Birthday, Mira! 💛

I started The Sinner. Pretty good so far. I’ll watch the next episode before bed.

I’ll play a little uke tonight too. I wanna learn more songs.

I’m feeling tired again. Might have to disconnect for an hour or so. My screen time usage went up because of all the movies I’ve been watching. I rewatched Casper before I slept. One of my faves growing up!

Anyway, I shall go. Hope y’all had a good one. Take care!

Good night.

Day 115.

Where did the weekend go? I spent another day resting up and isolating. I leave my room with a mask on and I always wash my hands. I miss my typical routine, but I would rather make sure I’m in the clear. I think I mentioned this yesterday. No fever was present today. My cough is still here though.

Happy Mac Dre Day! 🎵 I listened to some of his music. Happy Birthday!!

Animal Crossing update: I paid off my current loan! I used part of my savings. Now I can finally setup my kitchen. Exciting!! But a new loan starts tomorrow. 🙃 I also captured some new sea creatures.

I played my uke to calm me down. My anxiety was all over the place today.

I watched Spaceballs and Monte Carlo. I liked both movies. John Candy + a young Bill Pullman 😘 and the cast of Monte Carlo was cute. Everyone meshed well. I’ve started watching The Sinner. The first episode had me guessing. So now I’m invested. The next epi will reveal more to the story.

Hoping for a good week. I’m trying to be patient with myself. Things will get done, but I must adjust accordingly due to my current state. I haven’t had to contact my medical team because I feel okay. I take my temp daily.

Lastly, my cousin and her husband had their gender reveal party today. They’re expecting a boy! I’m so excited for them. 💙 Congratulations Jet and Jan!!

Good night.

Day 114.

Yesterday gave me a scare so I’ve been resting all day. I’m glad to report that I no longer have a low-grade fever. I’m still being cautious by isolating myself in my room and wearing a mask around the house. I’m giving myself the recommended two weeks of recovery. I’m still feeling more tired than usual and I have a cough. I’m taking in plenty of fluids.

Fireworks are still going off. This is the first 4th that we aren’t celebrating. We can’t celebrate freedom until everyone is free. Our nation is divided and there’s a lot of hate going around. It’s appalling. Wake up! #BlackLivesMatter 🖤

So I’ve always had a crush on Bill Pullman since I was a kid. I think it started with Casper. Lol. And I rewatched While You Were Sleeping. Thanks Disney+! There’s just something about him. I want to watch the show he’s in – The Sinner. I’m planning to watch Spaceballs tonight.

I played some Animal Crossing today. Paid some more of my loan off. I sold some items + gifted things to my villagers. I found some new sea creatures. Yay!

I napped throughout the day too. Super important to rest and reenergize.

That was my day. I’ve been listening to music too. It’s a mix of Little Mix, Ariana Grande, and Christmas music. It’s early, but not for me! I love holiday music. I miss it a lot. Reminds me of our London tour. That was 6 months ago. Time flies.

Well I hope everyone had a nice Saturday. Take care!

Good night.

Day 113.

I’m so anxious right now. I have a low grade fever, stomachache, and body aches. I knew something was off when I woke up from my nap this afternoon. Not sure what’s going on but I’m choosing to isolate from the rest of my family as a just in case. If my symptoms worsen, I have the contact information for the coronavirus hotline in the city. 😬😷 I was able to eat pho and an egg roll. My only meal. I hope I can keep it down.

I’m tracing back to the last few days. The only places I stepped foot in was the bank, post office, Walgreens, and our local taqueria. I had my mask on at all times and hand sanitizer in my bag. I hope I’ll be okay. I’m a little nervous. 😞

This morning we said goodbye to our family car. So many fond memories of the van especially our road trips and picking up one of our dogs. I was a little sad, but relieved.

Animal Crossing update: I’ve been collecting all kinds of sea creatures! I love being able to swim now with the current update. I’m looking forward to making all the mermaid furniture. I currently only have the DIY for a table. I sold the rest of my turnips today too. Yay!

I might play the uke in a bit. I also want to watch a movie, but I’m trying to get lots of rest. I’m also taking in more fluids than usual. Please send positive thoughts and prayers my way.

That’s my Friday. I hope y’all had a nice one. Take care!

Good night.

Day 111.

I finally took a walk outside and ran errands. We were mindful of our time in one place. It’s best to keep moving. It felt great to be outside again and enjoy the sunshine. We had our masks on and kept our distance. 😷🌤

We supported our local Mexican restaurant for lunch. I had a carne asada burrito. Always so delicious! We missed it. We also bumped into our relatives as we were leaving with our orders.

I had a decent night’s sleep too. That’s always nice. It’s a new month and we’ve got a bunch of goals and tasks to complete. I’ve got two more months to clean my room, buy a dresser, and get a new desk. It’ll all get done. Just gotta stay positive! ❤️ 2020 has been tough, but we can do this.

I took a nap after we watched Robocop. A childhood fave of ours. It’s been a while.

Animal Crossing update: I planted more money trees. Yes! I also paid off part of my loan. And I bought another painting. More art to donate to my museum.

We’re watching Cash Cab now. Such a good show. I gotta practice my uke and take my nighttime meds. Today wiped me out, but it’s a good kind of tired. Hope y’all had a nice Wednesday. Take care!

Good night.

Day 110.

At the beginning of the day all I did was catch up on my shows and movies. I finished Love, Victor. What a great story and cast! I love all the different personalities. The show also talks about important issues like family dynamics and one’s identity. Here’s hoping for season 2! Felix reminds me of a mix of Shawn Mendes and Harry Styles. Gordo from Lizzie McGuire too. He’s in my top 3 fave characters.

I woke up at a decent time, but I was feeling sluggish. Decided to fight through that by watching Us. Jordan Peele is a really good writer. I was intrigued the entire time. I still have some questions, but I’m sure other viewers can give me the answers. Afterwards, I took a nap. I slept for a few hours.

I had lunch as soon as I woke up. Our See’s Candies delivery arrived a day early. Scotchmallow, gummies, and chocolate! 😋 I wish I ordered rum nougat. Next time.

We also watched BlacKkKlansman! What a movie. Great cast as well. Adam Driver. 😍 I enjoy Spike Lee’s films. Definitely overlaps with the current events and political climate. I don’t understand the hatred and anger over someone’s identity. It makes me angry just thinking about it. Folx must do better. 🖤 #BlackLivesMatter

Tried A&W for the first time today. I got the coney dog and a root beer. Might have to do the root beer float next time. It’s refreshing!

Animal Crossing update: loan is almost paid off. The goal is to pay off about 10k bells each day. I’m getting there. Yes! I need to sell or give away clothing. My storage is full. I’ll figure it out. Lol.

Practiced my uke and needed a Stand By Me refresher. I remember it now so I’ll be practicing that some more this week.

Hoping to walk tomorrow. Still quite anxious, but I must face my fears. I’ll wear my mask and keep my distance from people!

That was my Tuesday. I need a good night’s sleep. Hope y’all had a nice one. Take care!

Good night.
