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.

Day 48.

Forensics Files, food, Animal Crossing, Jeopardy, repeat. That’s what my Wednesday looked like.

I stayed up watching Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist and then I also rewatched Four Weddings and A Funeral the tv series. I’m almost done with that again.

Before bed I just felt sad. Two years ago, my cousin passed away. She was 34. A beautiful spirit. I wish I had spent more time with her. RIP Maria. You are truly missed. ❤️

I’m doing my best to live life to its fullest. Some days are good and then some days are bad. I take both in stride. My own journey has been challenging but I’m still standing. And then I think of my friends who have passed these last few years. I miss them a lot. 💜 I’ll keep going.

I still gotta practice my uke. I’m learning so much information. And I’m still searching for a new desk. I’m overwhelmed with options. Sighhh. Btw random insomnia chats with your BFF at 5am is so much fun. Thanks for the laughs, Jamie! 😂

Hope you all had a good day. Take care!

Good night.

Day 46.

Shelter in place has been extended until 5/31. I mentioned this to Mom yesterday about an extension. I’m psychic! 😎 I knew the announcement was coming. We’ve made it this far. We can do it, California! ❤️

Animal Crossing, uke practice, watching Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, and Forensic Files made up my Monday. Not bad. I’m learning to mix my days up with various shows and games. I just started Never Have I Ever and I LOVE IT! The cast is great. Reminds me of high school which I don’t really miss.

I even got to do some laundry. I’m so frustrated with some of the masks I’ve purchased btw. I washed and dried one today. It fits my face, but the strap doesn’t sit well on my small ears. Ughhh. 😒 I’m thinking of clipping it with my hair clips. That might work.

Anyway, I’m pretty tired. I’ve got a busy day tomorrow so I’m planning to sleep early tonight. Maybe 2am? Haha.

Glad I showered. I’m ready to unwind on Netflix and Hulu. So many shows and movies! Hurrah.

Hope you all had a nice Monday. Take care!

Good night.

Day 45.

Happy Sunday! It’s a new week. 🙂

Animal Crossing is taking over my life. I was gifted a jukebox in the game today. Woo! I’m still trying to collect all the iron nuggets to finish building the shop. It’s taking some time on my part.

We ordered Super Duper for linner. We didn’t get a chance to prepare anything. Our essentials are dwindling so we’ll likely make a quick shopping trip later this week. I honestly believe our shelter in place will be extended here in California and I’m okay with that.

I’m getting frustrated playing games with my family. I haven’t won a game of scene it. We just started trivial pursuit. I’m also winless in that. My chance will come. I’m trying. Sigh.

I gotta practice a bit more on the uke. I’m getting better with the chord changes for Let It Be. G, you will be mastered!!

That was my Sunday. It was decent. Hope y’all had a good day too!

Good night and take care.

Day 43.

Happy Birthday, Coco dear! ❤️🐶 We miss you so much. We love you. We decided to bake cupcakes and order In-N-Out to celebrate. The fries were always her favorite.

I had terrible anxiety before bed. So I stayed up watching Hulu and played a bit of Animal Crossing.

I woke up at 9am, but decided to nap in the afternoon after playing some more Animal Crossing. My house is built! I’m loving the game.

Practiced my uke. I’m on Day 15. I practiced my strumming and chord changes. I’m getting more comfortable. Any kind of progress makes me happy. 🙂

TGIF! I’m glad it’s the weekend again. I always rest as much as I can. Hope you all had a great day.

Good night.

Day 42.

I was anxious before bed. So I woke up groggy and irritated. Lol. I mean I slept for 4 hours. 😬 I’m proud to say I didn’t nap today. Animal Crossing kept me busy for most of the day.

Lola (grandma) called us. It was nice to hear her voice. She’s doing well. I always pray for her. I miss her a lot! I haven’t seen her since the beginning of March for bday celebrations before the shelter in place. 😞

British snacks arrived today! It totally made my day. My extra order of French lavender hand sanitizer came in as well. Great package day! 🙂

I got to watch part of the 2020 NFL Draft! Exciting times. Welcome to the Niners, Javon Kinlaw & Brandon Aiyuk! ❤️💛

Practiced chucking some more. I think I’m getting the hang of it. I’m really focusing on my strumming. Learning the chords are simple in my case. I’m trying to find my rhythm. 🙃

Overall I had a nice Thursday. No complaints. Can’t believe it’s almost the weekend.

Well, good night!

Day 40.

I’ve been tired today, but I made it! Animal Crossing is officially here! I haven’t played before so I’m learning a lot. 😄 It’s fun.

Sister made a small grocery run. Thank you for doing that! I miss going out, but city and state orders. We can do this!! ❤️

Watched a few episodes of Even Stevens with the sisters. Reminds me a lot of when we were growing up. Simpler days.

Uke practice was a little frustrating today. I’m hoping to find my strumming rhythm but I’ve been struggling. For whatever reason I freeze up during a song. And then I get thrown off completely. Doing my best to be patient with myself. Small progress is still progress.

Not much else to share, but overall today was a good day. Thankful for everyone no matter how big or small a role they play in my life. I’m extremely blessed.

Hope you all had a nice Tuesday! Take care.

Good night.

Day 34.

Sleep update: I’m improving little by little. Anxiety is still messing with me. Doing my best to breathe and take it a day at a time.

Bought a Switch Lite. Not really on a whim. I’ve been looking. Excited to get it in the next few days. I want all the games. 🙂

Washed some more dishes. Yeah! It’s the best.

Watched Center Stage. Preteen memories. Still love the film to this day. The cast and the music are everything! ❤️

We got our groceries delivered. Not everything was accounted for due to low stock or just completely out of stock. That’s alright. Thankful to be able to purchase from an app and the convenience of necessities to be dropped off at our door. Thank you to all essential workers!!! 💪🏼

Took a much needed nap. I hope I don’t sleep too late tonight. But I was really run down. Rest is important.

We’re going to be playing Scene It tonight. It’s been years. It should be a lot of fun. I also gotta practice my uke. Woo!

Hope y’all had a great day! Take care and be well.

Good night.

Day 19.

Photo credit goes to the owner. I believe this is from the Quintanilla Family.

We made it to the end of the month! ☺️ March seemed like an eternity. Shelter in place for the Bay Area has been extended to May 3rd. I believe we’re flattening the curve. Good job, Bay Area! ❤️

Today marks the 25th Anniversary of Selena Quintanilla-Perez’s untimely passing. Growing up we went to the local taqueria with the family. Her songs were always playing on the jukebox. That’s my earliest memory of her. Bianca and I were obsessed with her music. We still are to this day. So much talent, beauty, and grace. Gone too soon. RIP Selena. 💜

RIP Nip. Gone, but never forgotten. I’ve listened to both artists simultaneously today. Thank you for sharing your artistry with the world.

I’d like to take a moment to think of my trans brothers and sisters. I’m in solidarity with you today during International Transgender Day of Visibility. Sending love and light. 💕

I’ve been so tired today. I slept a lot again. I did get the chance to watch Selena Live! The Last Concert on YouTube. So much stage presence.

I finished the Bridget Jones series. Loved the films. I want to read the books. I’m now watching Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist. It’s pretty good.

My new shampoo and conditioner were delivered too. Excited to try it. That was my Tuesday.

Good night.
