Day 172.

We made it to the end of August. Happy Monday! ❤️ As we embark on a new month, I wish you all peace and strength. This pandemic has been tough, but we can!

Watched Work It before I slept. I actually enjoyed it. Loved the cast and music. 💃🏻

I was supposed to study earlier and I haven’t done any of it yet. I hope my motivation changes. I’m still in a funk. I’ll snap out of it! Gotta keep going with my goals and dreams.

MLB tradeline: Giants picked up a new pitcher. We lose D. Rod. Good luck in Detroit! I wish it would’ve worked out in SF. We’ll be cheering for you!

Animal Crossing update: Flick is on my island. Trying to sell him as many bugs as possible. I need the bells!!! I haven’t seen Celeste in a while. I don’t play as much as night – that probably explains why!

I’m making progress with work stuff, so I’m relieved. I was a little stressed out after turning it in and then anticipating the response from my boss. My goal: teach an online course. Hopefully it works out for me.

Chatting with that guy. Convo is up and down – I swear it’s my anxiety. I’ll leave him alone for a few days. I don’t want to be that girl always texting. We’re still getting to know each other. We probably won’t meet until next year. Sadness, but trying to keep things interesting. 😂

Oh yeah, my bro finally heard me play my uke earlier tonight that he closed my door during the NBA playoffs. LOL! Funniest thing ever. 🎼

Welcoming September with open arms. I miss the past. We can’t go back. We’re here! No more running. I must face my fears. I’ll be okay.

Lastly, I really like my new lip stain. I bought it last year. Such a nice red. 💋

Take care y’all!

Good night.

Day 170.

I feel like I’m hitting a wall with something. Or maybe I’m just reading into it too much? Hmm. Either way I just gotta keep going – even with all of the distractions. Music is helping me focus!

Happy Saturday! Still processing the sad news of Chadwick Boseman’s passing. What a beautiful soul! He’ll be missed. RIP King. 🖤

I slept a lot today. I was feeling tired since I didn’t fall asleep right away. Hoping to be more productive tomorrow with cleaning and organizing. Maybe even do a load of laundry. I did help with changing the toilet seat! Score. 😎 Very useful skill to have. Check it out on YouTube.

I just finished the 600 day squat challenge with my arena strength booty bands. Difficult, but not impossible. Might do it every week! 💪🏼 YOU. CAN.

Giants win in AZ! Hurrah!! Losing streak is done. 🖤🧡

I just played my uke. It always sounds so beautiful and peaceful. Much needed after this heavy week.

Animal Crossing update: still trying to get the right villager to move out and it hasn’t happened. I’m going to try again since there’s a visitor at the campsite. Lol. Last fireworks show tomorrow! Let me see if I can find a Black Panther design. Would love to honor CB in that way.

That was my Saturday. Mellow, but somewhat productive. The days just go by quickly. Hope y’all had a nice one. Take care!

Good night.

Day 169.

TGIF! What a day. I wasn’t feeling well earlier, so I took it easy for the last few hours. I’ve been feeling stressed and anxious. I had to breathe and let go. I exercised too. I got through it.

The news of Chadwick Boseman’s passing has left me heartbroken. What a talent! I enjoyed him in 42 and Black Panther. RIP. ❤️

I finished some work stuff. That’s where my anxiety stems from. I want it to be perfect, but it’s a work in progress. As long as I’m improving – that’s all that matters to me.

Last Christmas is finally in my possession! Now it’s part of our movie collection. Yay!!! 💗

Animal Crossing update: I played for about 30 minutes. Took care of maintenance on my island.

Giants losing streak is at 3. Still cheering for them. 🖤🧡

I might play my uke to give me some peace. I’m just looking forward to the weekend. Deep breaths. Everything will be alright.

Happy weekend to all! Take care.

Good night.

Day 168.

It’s been a meh kind of day, but I’m making progress. I finally bought the Sailor Moon blushes from the Colourpop collab! Thanks for the assist, twin. 💜 She was clutch!

The Giants disappointed me today. 0-2 with the doubleheader. I’m just glad we got the first game. We won’t see LA again this season. Phew. Playoffs or not, it’s been fun to watch this very interesting season.

Animal Crossing update: I bought another piece of art from Redd. Yay! He doesn’t stop by often, but when he does I take advantage of it. I’ll try to clean things up on my island this weekend. I’ve been too distracted with work stuff.

Work stuff: I’m finalizing course descriptions and outlines. I’m planning to stay up a bit to finish everything so I can submit it tomorrow. Trying my best to get back to a routine. It still feels like March tbh.

I napped for a few hours. I needed the rest. I’m still very emo, but I’ll be okay. Whatever this is. 🙃 I don’t know. The pandemic has made it hard to meet new people, but I’m making the effort.

It’s so cold now. I miss the warm weather. Might go for a walk tomorrow. We’ll see. I must also keep in touch with my docs. Eep.

Well it’s time to exercise, play my uke, and eat dinner! Hope y’all had a nice one. Take care.

Good night.

Day 163.

It’s been a busy day. Today came and went. The biggest task was building my desk. We’re steps away from completion! Definitely a marathon and a labor of love. Thanks to my sister, Lala, for assisting! 💗

Animal Crossing update: There was another bug-off on my island. I did okay. I just remembered that I didn’t sell the rest of my turnips. So I’m just going to trash them. Man! I missed out on making a profit. Sighhh.

I’ve been tired and just a little moody. Today has been something. I’ve been thinking about a lot. Breathe. Just breathe.

Giants win again! They’re playing really well. 🖤🧡 Yaz has been clutch!!

Hoping tomorrow will be a much better day. I’ve got a lot on my plate, but it’ll all get done.

Thinking of everyone in California who has had to evacuate due to the state fires. Keep safe! 💕

Good night.

Day 162.

TGIF! I’m so glad it’s finally the weekend. 😊 I had a slow start today. I just finished my boba milk tea so I’ll be up for a few hours.

Animal Crossing update: My island is doing alright. I’ve been everywhere these last few days so I haven’t played as much.

I’m just thinking positive thoughts and I hope the universe sees that. I understand that everyone is going through a lot during this pandemic. I’m an empath. Our new normal is still an adjustment for most of us. I’m doing my best to adapt. Sending love to all of you – near and far! ❤️

My desk will be put together tomorrow. I’m looking forward to getting organized and having a space to finally call my own. My goal is to have it by my window. I’ve got a lot of art to put up too. Yay!

Giants win! We’re slowly making our way into the NL Wild Card race. I’m really happy they’re playing well these last few games. Bart changed the vibe. Yeah!!!

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

Good night.

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 158.

Happy Monday! It’s a new week and I’m ready to tackle so many things on my to do list. Must pace myself. Everything is a work in progress.

I’ve been listening to a lot of songs that are in tune with my mood. Most of the songs are uplifting! So many badass female artists and groups. I love it!!! 🥰

Animal Crossing update: I didn’t play for too long today. Caroline wanted to move out and I declined. That means someone will ask again in a few days. I hope it’s the villager I don’t really like.

I’m taking care of my room. So many moving pieces, but it’ll all get done. Breathe.

I did have a decent night’s sleep. There was no lightning or thunder. Our dog did wake me up at a really inconvenient time. I went back to sleep for a few hours.

I went for my afternoon walk. It’s nice to spend a few minutes outside. 😷 I’ve got errands to run tomorrow. It shouldn’t take long though. I hope all my labs are good. Must finish some of my exercises before the day ends.

I’m just all over the place. 🙃 I also caught up with a friend on IG and recommended Last Christmas. She’s watching it right now and we’ll discuss once she’s done.

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

Good night.

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.
