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 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 147.

I took it easy today. I used my resistance bands yesterday and I’m pretty sore. That means it’s working! I’m back to exercising daily which is great. Randomly woke up before 9am because I thought I heard the doorbell. I guess I was dreaming because it didn’t happen. Startled my brother. Whoops. 😅

Animal Crossing update: I finally caught my first scorpion! I donated it to my museum. Blathers was scared, but grateful. I wanna catch more! My island is still at 4 stars. I’ve decided to build another bridge. I also need to clear up the clutter. Still loving the game more than ever!! ☺️

Watched Happy Old Year with the twin. Sunny! He’s one of my favorite Thai actors. I enjoyed the story.

I wanted to be productive today, but I just wasn’t feeling it. I’m hoping to do more tomorrow. The pandemic has been up and down for me. I miss my family and friends, but it’s best to follow the mandate and continue social distancing. 2020 has been something, but I’ll make the best of it. Posted a throwback photo on IG. I miss going on adventures, but I care about the greater good! Stay safe and healthy, everyone!!!

Chipotle for dinner. Nomzzz. Giants lose again in Colorado. Just watched the news. Back to LA. Go Giants!!! 🖤🧡

That was my Thursday. Hope y’all had a nice one! Take care.

Good night.

Day 141.

TGIF! 😎

  • I slept okay.
  • I finished Kiki’s Delivery Service. I loved it! I want a red bow now.
  • I helped out with lunch this afternoon. We made spam, garlic rice, and fried eggs. We also had tomatoes. We also made spam musubi for the first time. Turned out well!
  • Boba and ice cream for dessert. Boba was delicious! We ordered from honey creme. I’ll try the ice cream in a bit.
  • Washed the dishes.
  • I’m finally registered for my TEFL course! Let’s do this!!! I’m excited to learn again.
  • Catching up with friends via text. Yay!
  • I realized even more today that self-care is so important. I played my usual round of Animal Crossing and listened to the Giants game on the radio. I’m also listening to music right now. The little things energize me.
  • Now I’m trying to figure out if I should buy this cool Simpsons print. Decisions.

That was my Friday! Time to recharge this weekend. Happy weekend to all. Take care!

Good night.

Day 134.

I didn’t do much today. I watched a lot of Netflix – The Kissing Booth 2 and Indian Matchmaking. I love learning about different cultures. I like the show! Nadia is a Queen.

I took a nap after lunch. We had Shake Shack. I went with my usual order. I love it so much!

Giants with another L in LA. I’ll always love them. Trust the process. 🖤🧡 It’s not pleasant to watch, but I’ll watch whether they win or lose.

Hoping for a really productive weekend. Must find my new desk and dresser. Gotta make moves this August! Planning to take a course online too as part of my career goals. 🙂

Animal Crossing update: Redd stopped by. All the art was fake except a painting I already donated to the museum. I bought it again to display it in my house. Looking forward to that tomorrow! Didn’t swim for my daily scallop. Might do that before bed.

Enjoy the weekend! Take care.

Good night.

Day 126.

Today was alright. It was tough for me, but I got through it. Still feeling very fatigued. Sighhh. Having low energy is a bummer.

Animal Crossing update: Pascal stopped by again and gave me a pearl! I want more recipes. I also bought a cute tea table for my house. Not sure where to put it yet.

We finally watched The Princess and the Frog. Such a beautiful movie! We love the cast and the music. 🥰

The earrings from my friend’s Mom’s small business arrived today. So pretty! I can’t wait to wear it.

I’m going to play a little more AC and then get ready for bed. I have an early morning because I’ll be up to support my friend’s dissertation defense at 8am PDT/11EDT. So exciting! I need sleep.

Hope y’all had a nice Thursday. 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.
