Day 104.

It was indeed a happy Wednesday for me! I was about to sleep, but the results for my echo were released at 5am. My heart looks good and there are no significant changes compared to the one that I had in 11/2019. Yay!!! So grateful. 💜

I randomly woke up at 10:30am. Our dog heard noises and it turns out it was just my sister. Lol. So since I was awake I decided to play some Animal Crossing. My island is still a hot mess. Oh well. I made all this fencing, but I don’t know what to do with it. My playground is still a work in progress too. Mehhh.

I made banana bread. I needed to destress. My sisters brought Sal to the groomers, so I decided to bake before they got back. It’s a simple and delicious recipe! Next on the to bake list is pound cake. 😋

We got to catch up with our friend via text. Lots of new things going on with her. I’m so proud! ❤️ I’m still figuring things out for myself. I’m at a crossroads. Sigh.

I fell asleep. My nap was supposed to be an hour. It became 1.5 hours. Whoops. I’m planning to be much more active tomorrow. Gotta tackle laundry.

Must practice my uke and take my evening meds. That was my Wednesday. Btw I ordered two new masks. One of them is floral and the other one is Sailor Moon! 🙂

Hope y’all had a good one. Take care!

Good night.

Day 100.

Happy Summer! ☀️

It’s been 100 days since work shut down and the shelter in place soon followed. Mind blown. 😱 I’m doing okay. I miss doing simple and mundane tasks outside. I wish I took advantage of it before the pandemic. Sigh.

Before I went to sleep I watched Knives Out with the fam. It was really good! It had me guessing the entire time. The cast was great. 🙂 Check it out if you’re into mystery.

It’s been a sad day. The news was heartbreaking. 😭 My friend’s dog, Louie, crossed over to the rainbow bridge today. I met him in January 2013. I think he barked at me. Haha. He eventually mellowed out as the evening went on. Louie was one of the sweetest dogs ever. I remember the random trip to Portland and he joined us for our adventure. I also visited LA in 2016 (that’s me with Louie!) and he followed us all over the house. Time flies. Pets teach us so much along the way. I cherish every family pet we have had. RIP dear Louie. ❤️🐶

My classmate from high school also shared her story of miscarriage. My heart breaks for her too. Thank you for sharing Layla’s story. 💕

I didn’t do much today. I slept in. We made mochi pancakes in the afternoon with bananas and strawberries on the side. Afterwards, I decided to lie down and play some Animal Crossing. My island is a mess and so is my house. Slowly getting my loan down. It’ll be another few weeks. I don’t time travel. Many of my friends do, but I’m content playing in real time.

I just bought Affinity Photo. I need a photo editor on my laptop. Adobe programs are out of my budget. Their sale ends tonight. If you need a photo editing program, check them out. It’s a decent alternative!

It’s Father’s Day tomorrow and I find myself being happy and sad. 😢 I feel so many emotions. It’s tough sometimes, but I always find a way to make it through the day. It’s been complicated. I love Dad very much. It’s a generational difference as well as a cultural. I won’t elaborate much more.

I’m hoping for a better week. I’m still feeling kind of down with my current situation. I won’t ever know if I don’t ask. So I’m going to type up an email and I’ll go from there. I do need advice from other patients. Sighhh. Just breathe.

Gotta practice my uke. 🙂

I hope you all had a nice Saturday. Take care!

Good night.

Day 99.

Here’s to Juneteenth! I remain in solidarity with our Black brothers and sisters. Black Lives Matter! 🖤

The weekend is here! I’m so excited. It allows me to reenergize and center myself for the new week. My mind has been heavy. I’m at a crossroads in my life and I’m not sure what to do. It makes me sad, tired, and a little angry. I need answers, but I think I must look within. Maybe in a dream?

This time last year I was in Paris. What a beautiful city. I would love to go back! I really don’t know when considering the pandemic. My travel dreams have been halted and I’m okay with it. I just want everyone happy, safe, and healthy.

I took it easy today. I watched TV with the sisters, had brunch, and then I took a nap. My energy has depleted as of late. I did drink 2 kencko smoothies. My next shipment will be shipped in a few days. I feel better about myself since I’m getting fruits and veggies a few times out of the week. I haven’t been exercising since my energy levels are low. 😕 Maybe I can do some yoga this weekend.

Animal Crossing update: I’m revamping everything and trying to sell everything. Must pay off my current loan though. I want my kitchen! 300+ more payments and then I’m free until the next loan. Haha. Oh man.

I’m gonna practice a bit of my uke. And then my usual nightcap is watching Dear White People. I’m on volume 2. Woo! I really like the show. The cast is great. 😊

Well, I hope you all had a nice Friday. Enjoy the weekend. Take care! ❤️

Good night.

Day 98.

I’ve been feeling quite tired today. I didn’t accomplish much other than paying for a bill. I decided to sleep after I did that. I slept for a few hours. I just don’t have much energy compared to yesterday. Each day is different.

Animal Crossing update: the store has been moved and I just redid the entrance for it. It’s simple, but now I have some use for a lot of the items I’ve left lying around on the island. Yay! There’s progress. I’m new to the franchise, so I’m learning a lot. I enjoy the DIY recipes. 🙂 I’m still looking for the iron garden chair. I hope I find it soon or one of my villagers gives it to me.

I didn’t get a yoga session in. I just feel depleted. 😞 Hoping for a more productive day tomorrow. That all really depends on how I’m feeling. June is flying and I’m trying to do as much as I can on my list of things to accomplish.

Might watch a movie tonight. I’m in the middle of Kiki’s Delivery Service. I must practice my uke too.

I was updated with work stuff. That’s still on my mind a lot for the upcoming year. I’ll think about that another day. Hope you all had a nice Thursday! Take care.

Good night.

Day 95.

Today is the anniversary of my college graduation. Time flies! I’m still so proud of my accomplishments. I may get another degree, but we’ll see. 💙💛

A very Happy Birthday to Dusty Baker and Tim Lincecum! I graduated on a good day. 🙂🖤🧡

It was a busy day for me. I wish I could’ve napped but it wasn’t possible. I hope I get a good night’s sleep.

Animal Crossing update: my home is in a new spot! I’m trying to figure out how to decorate my lawn. I also need to relocate one of the stores on my island. Everything is a work in progress. And one of my villagers is moving out tomorrow. I wonder who will move in next. I hope it’s someone cool!

It’ll be busy for me the next few days. California is reopening, but as I said previously I’m still uneasy about it. I’ve been home since March 13. I’ve only left the house twice. I don’t want to be afraid, but it’s okay to feel like this. I’m still giving myself time to adjust. It’s absolutely necessary.

I’ve gotta practice my uke. I didn’t get to practice yoga today. I’m planning to do that tomorrow.

That’s all from me. I hope you all had a nice Monday. Take care!

Good night.

Day 69.

Happy National Dog Rescue Day! ❤️ Rescue dogs are the best. Our dear Sal, we love you.

Animal Crossing has been consuming a lot of my time. I’m still figuring out what to do throughout my island. I don’t want to overthink it. Takes the fun away.

Happy Birthday, IZ! I was practicing Somewhere Over The Rainbow for a while today. I even recorded audio to listen to what I need to fix. Switching can be challenging, but it’s not impossible. 🌈 I also want to greet my uncle a Happy Birthday! 🙂🇨🇦

I washed dishes, did laundry, and tidied things up. Cleaning is fun. I didn’t even nap. I was a trouper today! 🙂

Lastly, our dog’s liver condition is progressing a bit. So she must take antibiotics on top of what she’s already taking. We’re thinking of including milk thistle with some of her meals. I hope it works. She’s only 3. We’re going to do as much as we can for her. I’m going to stay positive.

We’re going to watch Gordon Ramsey’s 24 Hours To Hell And Back to end the night. It’s a great show!

Hope you all had a good day.

Good night.

Day 61.

Sleep deprivation was real. Bro was leaving for work and our dog loves to greet folks in the morning. That meant an early start for Animal Crossing. My island rating hasn’t gone up yet. My goal is hopefully by the end of the week. I ran out of stones to make anything. I used 2 nook mile tickets too. 😬🙃

I had enough energy to watch Little. It was pretty good. I also snacked on sour patch strawberries. My fave!

I took a much needed nap. Fell asleep for 3 hours. I felt a bit refreshed, but groggy. I had Taco Bell waiting for me. It got cold, but that’s fine. Had birthday cake ice cream for dessert. I ate the last of it. I want more!

Practiced my uke for about 20-30 minutes. I’m trying to memorize Somewhere Over The Rainbow by IZ in the next two weeks. It’s such a beautiful rendition. One of my fave songs!

We’re going to end the night watching episodes of The Simpsons. Happy Birthday to you, Homer! 🥰

Hope you all had a nice Tuesday. Take care!

Good night.

Day 60.

Happy Monday! I didn’t do much today. Yesterday required a lot of energy. But it was all worth it! 💕

I’m doing my best to make my island very attractive and inviting on Animal Crossing. So far I’m at two stars. Hoping to be at four by the end of the week. 🙂

I watched The Simpsons and had a hearty lunch with the fam. Most of it was leftovers. We’re craving Indian food for this week. We’ll try a new spot for delivery.

I took a long nap. I felt really groggy and sluggish.

Played some more Animal Crossing. I planted a lot of flowers and trees. I gotta ramp it up. The villagers want K.K. Slider. Haha.

Mom got her Mother’s Day present. Yay! ❤️

And now I’m just gonna chill for the rest of the night. Gotta practice my uke strumming.

Thinking of our friends tonight. RIP Mike. 🤍

Good night and take care!

Day 56.

Decent night’s sleep. I’m slowly improving. I woke up a little early since I was waiting for my brother’s delivery. And I also wanted to play Animal Crossing. I finally have bamboo planted on my island! I knew it’d pay off if I waited to visit an island later in the day. 🤩 Hurrah!

I decided to practice my uke out on our deck today. It was nice to sit there with the sun shining and it was a bit windy. It was peaceful until my sister and I saw a yellowjacket! 😫 We rushed inside.

I practiced enough and decided to tackle some dishes. Best chore ever! 🙂 Listened to Piano Man and a bunch of oldies on repeat while I did that.

I had a late lunch. Tamales! We got them from Costco. Supposedly they aren’t available anymore. Why?!!! I also got to watch some of the news. So many happy stories and then some that are really heartbreaking. 😭💔

Had to nap. I slept for 2.5 hours. The heat makes me tired. It was 69 today I think.

Spam and eggs for dinner. Yay! Played another round of Animal Crossing just now. And I want candy. 😜 I had some chocolate earlier. Cadbury is the best.

We’re about to play Trivial Pursuit. Yeahhh!!! I’m ready.

That was my Thursday. Hope your days went well. Take care!

Good night.

Day 50.

Happy May! ❤️

I didn’t do much today. I woke up with a terrible stomachache. 😭 That threw my sleep off. I ended up sleeping in for longer. That explains why I didn’t take any pictures.

I woke up and had a light meal for lunch. Played some Animal Crossing to pass the time. New villagers are moving in! The island is coming together. It’s great. 😊

After lunch, I took a long nap. I really needed it. I slept for a few more hours. I was disoriented since I couldn’t remember what day it was. I can’t believe it’s Friday!

I just finished dinner. Pho and pork egg rolls. I also had half a banh mi.

I’m about to practice my uke. I’ve been practicing later than usual. The fatigue is real.

Hope you all had a nice day. Enjoy your weekend!

Good night.
