Day 268.

Happy Saturday! Really thankful that I was able to sleep in today. I’m feeling a little under the weather. I hope it’s just seasonal. I’ve had tummy issues for most of the day. I made ramen with egg for dinner. I even took a nap.

I washed some dishes. Much needed! I listened to my music to make the time go faster. 🙂

I ordered some Christmas presents. Just some small things for family and friends. I won’t be going all out this year. I’ll be sending things instead. I talked about that yesterday.

Animal Crossing update: My island is doing alright. Nothing too eventful.

I’m just feeling paranoid is all. It’s still a very scary time. California is sheltering in place again. These next few weeks are super important!! Please stay home and don’t gather.

Be safe and take care!

Good night.

Day 267.

California has a stay at home order. I’m all for it! Cases are still surging. It’s terrifying. Stay safe, everyone!! And if you must leave your home, make sure you’re masked up, keeping your distance, and washing your hands.

So happy it’s Friday! I’m hoping to get as much as I can done on my to do list this weekend. The holiday season is different, but it’s here and I’m excited to write and send some small gifts to family & friends. 2020 has kept me on my toes, but I’m making the most of it.

Animal Crossing update: My island is the same. I did buy some new clothes. Hoping to play some more tomorrow.

Watched a wild 20/20 episode!! It was mind blowing, but I had a feeling.

I might buy a few more things online at Sanrio. And Lesportsac wasn’t able to locate my original order from the 2nd Hello Kitty collection. Thankfully, I ordered another item as a just in case.

Health news: I’m hopeful that things will be okay. I just need to follow up with my medical team. Fingers crossed.

I also had a really good session with my therapist. I love venting!

Well, enjoy the weekend! Take care.

Good night.

Day 266.

Happy Thursday! I’m so ready for the weekend. I’m overthinking a lot right now. I just need to chill out. I hope everything will be fine. Ahh!

It was an earlier day since the sister had a dental appt. I played tourist with my aunt. She went back to her old stomping grounds near the Embarcadero. A stroll down memory lane! It was fun. Afterwards, I went to work. It was a pretty good day. Earl gave us our Christmas presents early. I’ll be handing out gifts before Xmas break. Gotta coordinate that soon.

Animal Crossing update: Pashmina was out and about on Mango. I purchased a robot at Nook’s Cranny. It was a pretty eventful day. I’m still waiting for the snow.

I’ve got another busy day tomorrow. I just want it all to go well!! I’m going to recharge and study this weekend. I’ve gotta make progress. I’m also at a crossroads in my life. Must make moves.

I really want a good night’s sleep. Highlight of my day: my purse arrived today!! The first one I ordered never arrived. I don’t think it’ll get to me anytime soon. Kind of a bummer. 😞 I’ll reach out to customer service again.

Well, I hope you’ve all had a nice day! Take care.

Good night.

Day 265.

LOVE.

This day always makes me sad, but very thankful. It’s been eight years since my maternal grandfather (Lolo) passed away. He was a smart, kind, and funny man. I keep you with me every day. I’m sure that you and Lola aren’t too far away. Continue to guide us and to keep us safe during this very interesting time! 💗

We’re halfway into the week and I’m feeling it. But I had a good day! I had a sluggish start tbh. I couldn’t get out of bed until I had an hour left to get ready. 😬 I hate running late, but I made it in time.

I played a game of football, Kahoot!, and badminton with the boys. I’m so tired. 😬😩 But it was a lot of fun. I gotta practice throwing my spiral.

We had Vietnamese food for dinner. I caught Jeopardy for our Lolo. It was his favorite show. We watched Wheel of Fortune and The Masked Singer! I was entertained.

Animal Crossing update: Pashmina has moved in! Snow will be arriving very soon on Mango. Yay!! ❄️

It’s a busy Thursday and Friday for me! Gotta take care of some paperwork too. Hoping to sleep early tonight. I need all the rest I can get.

I hope y’all had a nice day. Take care!

Good night.

Day 263.

I had a case of the Mondays today! It’s difficult returning to my usual routine after having a week off for holiday break. But today went well!

I’m ready to sleep. I’m so sleep deprived. I also have an early morning. I hope to finally pick up my new night guard tomorrow!

My mind is pretty tired right now. I need sleep! It’s hard to stay awake. My eyes are getting heavy.

It’s the final day of Pulmonary Hypertension Awareness Month! I hope I was able to educate someone this time around. Giving Tuesday is tomorrow and I plan on donating to the PHA!

Well, this is good night. Btw, on ACNH, Vivian is moving out. She’s all packed up. I wish her the best!

Take care!

Day 261.

Happy Saturday! I took advantage of another day of sleeping in. Glorious!! Those are the best kind of days. Cooking for the last few days has wiped me out.

We decided to order in for lunch. We ordered Mexican. Huevos rancheros ftw!! Afterwards, I hung out for a bit and then decided to take a nap. Much needed.

SF is back in the purple tier. Cases are surging! It’s terrifying. 😱😔 I’m returning to work on Monday, but I’ll be well prepared. We’re not out of this pandemic. It’s still very much here. Don’t be complacent!! Please continue doing your part.

I’ve been browsing Black Friday specials and looked at Small Business Saturday deals. Didn’t buy anything. I’ve done my share of supporting small businesses this year! I do need holiday cards and some new rubber stamps. I know where to go!

Animal Crossing update: It was a typical Saturday. I’m still cleaning up the messy parts of my island.

Doing a load of laundry. So very important! I’m going to do a bit of reading too. Might play ACNH again.

I plan to drive for a bit tomorrow morning. I need the practice! Yup.

Well, that was my Saturday. Hope y’all had a nice one. Take care!

Good night.

Day 258.

It’s Wednesday! Happy Turkey Eve!! 🙂 There’s so much to prep tomorrow so I’m planning to sleep earlier than usual.

I spent most of my day watching TV. I’ve got two episodes left of The Queen’s Gambit. I’m honestly hooked! I took a long nap after lunch. It was much needed.

Animal Crossing update: I got to tidy up part of my island! Win!! Looking forward to the holiday festivities tomorrow. 🦃🍴Should be a lot of fun.

I’ve been listening to a lot of music lately. It’s a mix of holiday, contemporary, and the Y2K era!! I’ve played my uke two days in a row. I’m learning some new songs.

This time of year is about being with family and friends, but it’s super important to celebrate at home. 2020 has been very different, but may our actions now preserve holidays and celebrations for the future! We can do it!!! 😷❤️ Be mindful of our essential workers too – we owe them so much!

Take care and good night! May you all enjoy the feast. Celebrate responsibly!

Day 257.

Happy Tuesday! 😄 I stayed up watching The Queen’s Gambit. I’m hooked! Beth is such a fierce character. She’s a badass!

I got through some chores today. We’re getting the house ready for Christmas too. Time to put up decorations! It’s always so much fun putting up the tree.

I even got a chance to restart Becoming. My goal is to take it slow during break. I feel like I rush my self during a work week. It’s important to take your time. We’re all works in progress! I hope to finish the book by 2021.

I’m really missing family and friends, but it’s best to keep our distance and catch up online. The news is overwhelming over here in California. We’ve gotta buckle down and get this virus under control.

Animal Crossing update: I’m starting to sell the random items that I dumped on my island. I’m also putting things in storage. CJ is in town! He’s a lot of fun. Must sell him more fish.

I’ve been feeling quite tired and a little off. I just hope it’s fatigue. I’m not eating too much junk nowadays. I’m being super mindful of what I put in my body.

Time to blast some tunes and unwind. I hope y’all had a nice one! Take care.

Good night.

Day 253.

TGIF!!! It’s been a tough week, but I made it. I’m ready for holiday break. 🙂 Got to take home a pumpkin spice cheesecake from work. Can’t wait to try it tomorrow!

Things are scary in the SF Bay Area right now. COVID cases are surging. A stay at home order has been put in place for the next month starting tomorrow. Stay safe out there, everyone! Please continue to do your part. 😷 Staying away saves lives!!!

I went to the lab this morning to take care of my monthly test. Ordered my meds as soon as I got home. After that I washed dishes and then got ready for work. I usually end at 6pm, but everyone was picked up at 4:30pm. Hurrah! Auntie also helped with some Asian groceries. Woo!!

I’m just glad that I can take it easy for the next few days, but I’m also dealing with some health stuff. I meet with a specialist in two weeks. I hope it’s nothing too serious.

Watched Dateline. It was good! The story was based in Bakersfield. I was intrigued.

Animal Crossing update: Sold my weeds to Leif. Got a few new DIY recipes. It’s going well!

I’m hoping for a good night’s sleep. I hope y’all had a nice one. Take care and enjoy the weekend!!

Day 252.

Happy Thursday! I had a better day at work. I followed through with everything. One more day and it’s holiday break!! 😄

I had my 2nd driving lesson with Eugenia. I must practice more often. I’m still quite anxious behind the wheel, but it’ll take time to regain my confidence. I’ll get it back! I must remember to share the road. 😬😂

Klay is officially out for the new NBA season. 😭💔 We’ve been waiting for a healthy Warriors team! Still supporting them no matter what. Get well soon, Klay! 💙💛

Gotta head to the lab in the morning. So many extra steps as a chronic condition patient. It must be done. I can’t take shortcuts.

Animal Crossing update: The new update has been installed! My island is doing okay. Will revamp some more this weekend.

Lastly, Happy Birthday to Dad! Love you. ❤️ Today is also Coco’s Rainbow Bridge crossing. I can’t believe it’s been 2 years. 😭 Miss you, girl!!!

Well this is good night. Take care!
