Day 209.

It’s Wednesday! We’ve made it to the middle of the week. 💗

Today was our Tito Rino’s funeral. I wish I could’ve been there, but it’s still too risky. I said a prayer for him. He’s truly missed. 🤍 Family over everything. It’s important to keep in touch with everyone on the regular especially during the pandemic and once life normalizes again.

I had to get up early to watch the dogs. They’re such a handful. Rascals! I had coffee and snacks to keep me going for a few hours. I played Animal Crossing to pass the time. Tex is moving in. Kinda wish I would’ve found my own villager, but that’s fine. I know for next time to seek a new one out ASAP.

I was able to clean, apply Vaseline, and put a new bandage on my skin – the one near my eye and the one near my armpit. Must take care of it daily.

Did a load of laundry after my shower. I was so productive today! Planning to clean tomorrow.

Caught part of the VP debate. I didn’t watch all of it. Progress needs to be made again in our country. Protect womyn and their rights! Protect those with underlying conditions! Let’s have a conversation about racial & social justice, climate change, global warming, and the importance of science. We need strong leaders! BIDEN HARRIS 2020! 💙

Watched Postseason baseball. Disappointed that the Padres didn’t tie the series versus LA. 😒 They gotta win the next one to stay afloat in the series. I hope they do. BEAT LA!!!! 🖤🧡

Still dealing with anxiety and being sad. I’ll make it! I know I will. My feelings are valid. Suppressing them won’t help me. Acceptance. Still staying away from a certain dating app. Once I’m brave again – I’ll return.

Hope y’all had a nice one. Take care!

Good night.

Day 208.

Happy Tuesday! 💕

It was a day for me. I didn’t sleep very well because I was dealing with anxiety. I always get pretty anxious for my doctor’s appointments. This one was a bit different since it’s the dermatologist! I rarely go.

Fast forward to 9:45am. We were running a bit late, but I got there in time. Thankful that my aunt can provide me with rides. Anyway, I arrive and there are a few people ahead of me. Once I check in, the receptionist leads me to the back room. This is where the magic happens!

I’ve dealt with skin tags for the last few years. Both were removed today! Huzzah!!! I hope my insurance processes it because 1. They were painful and 2. absolutely necessary for my own well-being since one of them was close to my left eye. I’m wearing a bandage there right now. I’m unable to get it wet for the next 24 hours. I must clean and dry it for the next 2-3 weeks! The doctors were really nice too. Thanks for your help.

Once I got home, I took a very long nap. The lidocaine wore off and I could feel the sting. I didn’t get up until 5ish in the afternoon.

I ate my lunch and then I tuned in online for the livestream of my uncle’s services. His passing was untimely. Makes me sad. Given that we’re still in the middle of the pandemic, I’m unable to attend his funeral. I’ve been praying for him. RIP Tito Rino. 🤍

Had In-N-Out for dinner. Decided to wash the dishes too since I wasn’t super productive today. I plan on studying tomorrow and finally get to my laundry.

I’m still dealing with my emotions and feelings. It’s a rough patch. Ugh! But I’ll make it. I’m strong!! 💜

Lastly, my Animal Crossing update. Must look for a new villager. Al has left my island. More Halloween decor is going up this week! Yeah!!

Take care, everyone!

Good night.

Day 206.

Happy Sunday! A new week is upon us. 🙂

My day was okay. I watched a lot of sports – football and the NBA Finals. Niners are 0-2 at home. We lost to the Eagles. WTH?!! Very happy for Miami. They’re trailing 2-1, but Jimmy Butler went off. I hope the next game is just as exciting.

Animal Crossing update: I slept in so I had to time travel to get turnips again. Today is also Goose’s Birthday! Good times.

Hoping for a better week. I know I’ve been saying I hope to be productive. And I will be! I must discipline myself.

Highlight of the day: Happy Lemon. This’ll be the last of my boba fix until the end of the year. I’ve ordered too much too often. 🍋

I’m super excited to see dermatology this Tuesday. I hope they can help me out ASAP!

Well, this is good night. Take care!

Day 204.

Where did the week go?! Happy Friday! 💜

I tried to sleep early last night and it didn’t work out for me since I decided to watch Ready or Not. I really liked it. Plot twists everywhere! Definitely a guessing game.

I woke up in time, but it was hard. I had to get ready for my flu shot appointment. I get it every year. Super important for my health! It was quite busy, but the wait wasn’t long. Afterwards, we picked up lunch at our local taqueria. I went with a carne asada burrito. It’s been a while. 😋 Chips and salsa were so good too.

I did a bit of chores and then I decided to take a nap. I was super tired. Fell asleep for a few hours. I’m pretty energetic now. Might watch another movie tonight.

Animal Crossing update: Vivian is finally moved in! Super exciting. I watered my pumpkins. I also caught another scorpion. My count is 2! They’re so sneaky.

I want to try on some makeup. It’s the only time to freely wear it at home. I love lipstick, eyeshadow, eyeliner, blush, and highlight! 💕 No one will ever see my lipstick again until we’re mask free. 😷

Planning to clean and organize tomorrow. I hope to practice driving for a bit this weekend. I go back to work in TWO WEEKS! I’m a little anxious, but I think I’ll be okay. Super important to be socially distant from everyone, especially adults. I’m double masking and putting on the face shield.

We watched a bit of Meet the Parents. Haven’t seen it in a while. I forgot how funny it was. Hehe.

Take care and happy weekend to all!

Good night.

Day 202.

I’ve dealt with a lot of pain and discomfort today. I did my best to have a good day. 🙂

It’s been 7 months since my last dental visit. It was so nice to see my student dentist and catch up. Overall, my teeth are looking much better! I had to deal with the probing part this afternoon. It hurt, but I got through it. My cleaning was also done manually. All the other tools must be cleared by COVID-19 protocol. A lot has changed, but I’m adapting! After my appointment, I decided to treat myself to another PSL. 🎃

I’ve just been listening to the same music for the last week. It’s been a week since my heart was broken. I’m still healing and giving myself the time to process. 😭💔 I was on Bumble for a bit before I went to sleep last night and I had to deactivate my profile again. I’m still hurting. 😔

Animal Crossing update: My new art piece is now in my museum. Label was in town. Bud is moving out and Vivian is moving in. It’s spooky season starting tomorrow. I’m excited for all the orange!!

Postseason baseball wasn’t the best today. The Twins were eliminated. 😞 I still have a bunch of other teams to root for. BEAT LA!!!! 🖤🧡

I just feel like crap today. I’m hoping I feel better tomorrow. 💜

Take care, y’all! Farewell to you, September.

Good night.

Day 198.

Happy Saturday! It’s been a sad day. I found out this morning that our uncle passed away suddenly. 😭💔 He was so kind. RIP Tito Rino. 🤍

A death always puts everything into perspective. It’s a wake up call! I need to do more with my time. I need to stop wasting the day. This year has been super tough for everyone, but I’d like to believe there’s a silver lining after all of this. There has to be.

I played my uke and dedicated Somewhere Over the Rainbow to my uncle. Fly high!! 🌈

The Giants are in control of their destiny. They were handed a loss. Not sure what tomorrow will bring. It’s win or go home. Go Giants! 🖤🧡

Animal Crossing update: The final Bug-Off event of the year happened today. I did pretty well for myself. I redeemed my points for a spider plate door decor. Perfect for the fall and Halloween!!

I finally got a workout in. This week has been heavy, but I’m slowly getting back on the horse. Work will be resuming shortly. There’s a lot to do before then. Just breathe.

We ordered Hahn’s Hibachi for lunch. Brings back so many memories! I got my usual, bbq chicken with rice. I’ll finish the last of it tomorrow.

Lastly, I wanna say Happy Birthday to my cousin, Ryan! 🥳🥰🎂

Well, I hope y’all had a nice one. Take care!

Good night.

Day 197.

TGIF! It’s been a ride for me this week. I think I’m slowly returning to myself. Currently listening to A*Teens – Firefly. ❤️

I’ve gotta take care of all of this work stuff. I might be back in two weeks! It’s pretty wild. 😱 I’m ready to get back to it. It’ll be very different, but I need routine in my life. I’m ready to drive!!

Had Shake Shack for lunch. It was delicious! Didn’t get my usual. I kinda wish I did. Cheese fries always make me happy. 🙂

I’ve skipped out on exercising for the last few days. Time to buckle down and get back to doing it! I miss it honestly.

The Giants have control of their destiny. We won 1/2 today. Not a fan of Coonrod. Ughhh….our bullpen hasn’t been super reliable either. I don’t know how to feel about the postseason. We either get in or we don’t. 2 games remaining. Go Giants! 🖤🧡

Animal Crossing update: bought a green Victorian dress. Mom helped me pick it out. Paid some of my new loan off. Sold my turnips. It was a good day!

I’m hungry. I napped for a bit. I think we have cookies here. Must eat dinner first.

Enjoy the weekend! Take care.

Good night.

Day 196.

Happy Thursday! 💗 I’m feeling okay today. Up and down really. We got to chat for a bit via text. It’s not so scary anymore.

My treat for the day: Matcha Cafe Maiko. I ordered the vanilla-matcha swirl topped with boba! So delicious. 😋

Watched the Giants game. Hoping they would’ve won, but they blew it. 💔 Idk about the postseason. We’ll see.

Animal Crossing update: Celeste stopped by! I got a new DIY recipe from her. Libra scales. So cool. I bought a cacao plant too. My island is still a mess. I’ll fix it when I make time.

Watched the Nuggets game. That was frustrating. 😔 They’re down 3-1. Hoping for a win the next time they play.

I put on some eye makeup today. The eyeshadow I’ve been waiting for was finally delivered. 👁 Love it!!

Lastly, I watched Cinderella, the 2015 version before bed. I really liked it! 🤍

Hope y’all had a nice one. Take care!

Good night.

Day 195.

Still feeling crappy, but I’m doing my best. 💜💪🏼💜 Angry about the Breonna Taylor news. Absolutely disgusting. Black Lives Matter! 🖤

I slept in. I stayed up watching The Outsiders before bed. Ralph Macchio! My childhood crush. 🥰 Still love him to this day. Might look into watching Cobra Kai.

Indian food for lunch! I love the garlic naan and chicken tikka masala. I ordered a mango lassi too. Everything was delicious!!

Animal Crossing update: I forgot I expanded my house. Got a new loan to pay off, but I now have a room upstairs! Thinking of making that room my bedroom. We’ll see.

Renewed my domain and WP plan. Yay! More blog entries to come.

Watched Remember the Titans this afternoon. One of my favorite Disney movies. Denzel is so good!!! The cast is great and so is the music. ❤️

Giants win! Keeping my fingers crossed for the last few games. We’ll see how it turns out. Go Giants!! 🖤🧡

I caught up with a good friend via text. She’s been encouraging and helping me through my heartache. The feeling still sucks. 😢

Everything is still a waiting game for work. Hopefully we go back in two weeks. I’m anxious because I need to practice driving before then. Eep! I can do this though. I know I can.

That’s my Wednesday. I hope to be more productive tomorrow. I won’t exercise tonight. Maybe tomorrow? Or Friday?

Good night.

Day 194.

My heart is broken, but it will be mended. I’d like to think I’m getting closer to the person I’m meant to be with eventually. It stings. It sucks. I’m overlooked yet again and it brings me back to my twenties. I sent him a text message for closure and I gained a new friend out of all of this. Will I ever get a happy ending? I don’t know. 😭

It’s exhausting going through the motions of dating. Just once – I’d like someone to finally pick me. That day will come, but for now, I’ll continue waiting. I’ll allow myself to feel my emotions and feelings. I can’t hold that back. It’ll take time.

I got to see my medical team. I missed them so much! I’ve been given the okay to return to work. PPE must be on at all times. I’ll be driving this time around. I got everything done. I’m feeling proud despite my sadness.

Animal Crossing update: I need to check my island. I lost track of time.

I must continue with my TEFL course. No distractions now, ya know? I guess you can say it was a Summer Love. Happy Fall! It’s a new season and I’m ready for the abundance of blessings. 🎃🍂

My crown was tilted. It’ll be affixed again. I’m powerful! 👸🏻👑 Family and friends are uplifting me. Thank you for your love and support. 💗

Hope y’all had a nice one. Take care!

Good night.
