Day 160.

Currently playing: Holiday – Little Mix 🧜🏼‍♀️

How is Wednesday almost over?! 😱 Time went by pretty quickly this week.

California is currently dealing with a number of fires. Scary times in the state along with the pandemic. Stay safe, everyone!

San Francisco could come off the watch list as soon as tomorrow, but we must continue to be vigilant and practice all the guidelines to keep everyone safe. I’m still dealing with a lot of anxiety from all of this. Seeking connection has kind of been my saving grace. Keeping in touch with friends and family has also helped. I miss everyone! ❤️

George Michael, The Aces, and Little Mix have been on repeat. They are the current soundtracks of my life. Figuring things out for myself. I don’t want to jump to conclusions or expect too much. I had a very good teletherapy session with my therapist today and she gave me a lot of input & advice. I may take her up on it. We’ll see. Every risk in life requires being courageous!

Speaking of Little Mix, Happy 9th Anniversary! I love them so much and I still hope to see them live in the future. 💗

Happy World Photography Day!! 📸

Animal Crossing update: my island is pretty much the same. Flick is visiting. I’ve been a bit busy to keep up with my game. It’s good I’m enrolled in a course. It’s all about balance. I still love the game, but I’m investing my energy and time into my potential calling.

Giants defeat the Angels! We’ve got a 2 game winning streak. Woo!!! 🖤🧡

Planning to build my additional storage tomorrow. We’re almost done with all the furnishings. Two more projects!

Hope y’all had a nice one. Take care!

Good night.

Day 159.

I’m honestly all over the place. That is the truth. I’m trying to deal with everything currently on my plate. Balance is key! I got this. 😎

I had to get my labs done today. The standing orders weren’t in the computer again so I had to play phone tag with my team. Next time I will give them advance notice so the orders are already in the computer. Yeesh. I think my labs are good. Hurrah! If it looks questionable, they’ll get back to me.

I tried the new ramen packets we have. Had that for lunch. It was really good! Just a lot of salt – so the next time I make it, I’ll adjust it.

August is flying by! I wish time would slow down. I’ve just been super anxious. 🙃

I played a bit of Animal Crossing when I woke up. Haven’t touched it since. I’m in the middle of my TEFL course. Doing my best to make progress daily.

Giants split the series in LAA! And I’m glad they’re returning home. 🖤🧡

I hope tomorrow works out. 🤞🏼 I’m sure it will. Ah!

Good night and take care!

Day 157.

My sleep schedule was messed up. There was thunder and lightning! Throw in a very anxious dog and that equals insomnia. It was cool to see the lights in the sky. But the rumbling – not so much. I ended up sleeping in. I set an alarm, but I couldn’t even get up. I hope I get a better night’s sleep tonight.

I wanted to build something tonight, but it’s late and I’m pretty tired. Maybe the floor lamp? That’s fairly easy.

Highlight of my day: catching up with my coworkers! It’s been so long. It was nice to check in and see how everyone is doing. I miss them! ❤️

The Giants are a hot mess. We got swept! It pains me. Thankfully this season is short. Our bullpen is atrocious and our defense is nonexistent. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Back to fundamentals I guess. In happier sports news – Alex Smith has been cleared to play! I’m so happy for him. After his injury in 2018, he went through so much. When he was with the Niners I always cheered for him. I will continue to because he’s awesome!

Played Animal Crossing with Cristina. I gotta clean up my island. It’s a hot mess, but she got what she needed. Glad I could help.

Anyway, I’m hoping this week will be great! I’m anticipating for Wednesday, but breathe. I got this! 💁🏻‍♀️

Hope y’all had a nice one. Take care!

Good night.

Day 156.

It was another hot one in SF. I decided to sleep in and complete my exercise indoors. It feels like Davis weather! 🥵

I was pretty productive today. I did another load of laundry, folded my clean laundry, and I’m about to put everything away. We’ve got 3 more things to build. Taking a break most likely until tomorrow. Hoping to see our Lola too! Speaking of her, we got to chat for a little bit on the phone. We miss her. ❤️

Giants lost again. Oy! ☹️ But I guess the silver lining is that the A’s have a huge advantage with the Astros to try and take the division. Considering the cheating scandal and all. I don’t root for Oakland, but this is an exception.

I’ve gotta get back on track with my TEFL course. There are a few distractions, but I must focus. Keep my eyes on the prize!!! 🤓

I’m planning to finish Sleepless in Seattle tonight. Bill Pullman’s character and his allergies. 😂

I’m doing alright with Animal Crossing. I’m cleaning up since I’ll have a friend over on my island tomorrow. Haha. My new painting is in the museum. Hurrah!

I’m also catching up with a friend on IG. I’m such an empath. I caught her at the right time. Sending her love! 💗

That was my Saturday. I hope y’all had a nice one. Take care.

Good night.

Day 155.

TGIF! So glad it’s the weekend. 🙂

It was so hot today. I think it hit 97 degrees in the city. I enjoy the rare hot day. It can just be overwhelming since a lot of older SF houses aren’t equipped with air conditioning.

I decided to get my walk in anyway despite the weather. All I need is 15-20 minutes.

We finally got my dresser in my room. It took a few days to build, but it looks great! I’ll be smart with how much to store. The drawers are too pretty. I’m planning to do more cleaning, organizing, and get a load of laundry done. So many moving pieces these next few weeks.

We had Shake Shack for dinner. So good! It’s definitely in my top 3. I didn’t get my usual so I went with the ShackBurger with cheese.

Animal Crossing update: I bought a new painting to add to my museum! And the last time I played today it was raining. I’ll play a bit before bed to do some maintenance.

I got some good news from my medical team. I just need to be super cautious and careful once we’re able to head back to work. I need eye protection. My glasses alone won’t be enough. I just want people to keep their distance and mask up. They also recommend surgical masks instead of a cloth one. I can definitely do that.

Giants lost a game they should’ve won. Yikes! I’ll always root for them. 🖤🧡 49ers: Kittle signed a 5 year extension. Wooooo! ❤️💛

Well, I’m pretty exhausted. I hope I can sleep well tonight. I might squeeze in a movie.

Have a great weekend! Take care.

Good night.

Day 153.

I can breathe. I was dealing with a lot of anxiety a few hours ago. I’m okay now. Just a lot going on these last couple of days.

Still processing Amado’s passing. What a beautiful soul! ❤️

Online dating is new for me. I’m making the most of it. I was brave and I put myself out there! So whatever happens, no one really knows.

We are still building my IKEA dresser. Hoping to be finished with it tomorrow.

Got to catch up with friends via text. Always eases me and makes me happy! 💗 They keep me grounded.

Giants lost the series in Houston. Ugh. They’re headed home which is nice! We’ve got a lot to work on. Still cheering for them no matter what. 🖤🧡

Well, it’s back to building. Hope y’all had a nice one. Take care!

Good night.

Day 151.

How was your Monday? Today was a ride. It’ll be like this all week. I spent most of my time putting together IKEA furnishings with my sisters. We were up for the task! 2 down, so many more to go. I’m confident in our abilities. 💜

Dealing with some anxiety. Internal and external factors. I’m trying not to overthink, but it’s hard. Breathe in and out. Every breath is so important. I won’t take it for granted.

Animal Crossing update: Hopkins is moving in and Ken is leaving. I wanted another villager to leave. He’s still there. 😒 Maybe he’ll be next! Lol. C.J.’s on my island. I completed his challenge and sold all my fish. Hoping for a more eventful day tomorrow.

I rewatched Last Christmas before bed last night. The first time around we kept pausing so the story didn’t mesh well. I cried so much. It’s such a beautiful story! And the setting is the holiday season?! I’m sold.

Work announcement tomorrow. I hope we can stay in and work from home. I haven’t left the house in months. And if I do it’s for a short time and a very significant reason such as a doctor’s appointment. I’m anxious about the announcement too. Can’t control the outcome. I can only control how I react and feel.

I got to catch up with some friends too via text. It’s always nice to check in with folks. I genuinely care about everyone’s safety and well-being. 💕

Lastly, the Giants were almost no-hit in Houston. We were able to score 4 runs, but the Astros got the win. I hope we can win a game in this series. For the rest of the league really! The World Series cheating scandal is the elephant in the room this season. Tsk!!!

Hoping to sleep soon. I need so much energy tomorrow. Take care!

Good night.

Day 150.

Happy Sunday! 🥰

The highlight of my day was catching up with my college friends on Zoom. It’s been too long! I enjoy every second with them. 💙💛 Everyone’s doing well.

Animal Crossing update: rearranging furniture in the living room. My storage is full so I’ll have to sell some items. I need new wallpaper. There’s also fireworks tonight! I’ll catch the last of it before midnight. It’s so beautiful to watch. Love it! My island is doing alright.

Kilig. I don’t know if it’s there yet, but we’ll see. It’s a Filipino word. Google it. 😂 I guess stepping out of my comfort zone is helping me gain confidence. Whether this works out or not. Dude seems really nice and understanding. Carpe diem!!!

I got some sad news today and I’m processing it. So heartbreaking. 😭💔

Giants didn’t take the series in LA. I’m just glad we didn’t get swept. 🖤🧡

It’ll be a busy day tomorrow and the rest of the week. Always making progress. But must pace myself.

Hope y’all had a nice one. Have a great week! Take care.

Good night.

Day 149.

I was very productive today! I even got to sleep in. I’m proud of myself. I felt a little discouraged in the beginning, but I can get through this. 🙂

Animal Crossing update: my island is doing alright. Happy Birthday to Bud! 🥳 I stopped by his house a few times to party with him. He’s still dancing and eating cake. Haha. Can’t wait until I can celebrate mine. Won’t be until next year, but should be fun!

Played my uke again. I haven’t picked it up in the last week. I love strumming it.

I decided to put eyeshadow and eyeliner on. It’s been so long. It’s simple, but helps make your eyes pop! 👁 I don’t wear mascara often, but if I must I can’t wear my glasses. It smudges.

Giants get the W in LA! Cueto did really well. Our offense showed up tonight too. 5-4 victory! 🥰🖤🧡

Our cousin is expecting a girl! We’ve got a nephew on the way too next year. So exciting! Can’t wait to spoil them. 😄 I miss our family. Wish we could all be together again.

That was my Saturday. Hoping to take it easy tomorrow, but it’s chore day! Hurrah.

Good night.

Day 148.

Ahh, I’m a little late! Had to take care of some stuff.

Watched a few episodes of Twilight Zone with the fam. So many great episodes! Rod Serling is the best. 🖤

Animal Crossing update: Gulliver gifted me the Stonehenge. So cool! I’m still trying to figure out where to put it. Doing my best to clean up my island.

I’m trying to detox my social media usage. It can be a lot. I can waste hours on it. I’m planning to read more. Must focus on my career goals!!!

I got my exercise in too. The resistance bands are kicking my butt. It’s working!

Giants lost in LA. I just want one win from the series. PLS!!!

There’s a lot to do. I overthink a lot. Lots of thinking during the pandemic. We’re still in the thick of it. Keep safe, everyone!!! 😷

Enjoy the weekend! Take care.

Good night.
