Day 189.

Happy Thursday! 🥰 It’s almost the weekend. It’s been okay for me. Got my workout done – go me!

Progress is being made at work. I might be back in two weeks. Part of me is anxious, but the other part of me wants to get back to my old routine. It’s going to be different, but I’m ready. I must be extra careful as my doctors have advised. Productive convo with the boss. He’s always reassuring.

Giants win! They take the series as the visiting team at home versus Seattle. Just a few more games left and then the postseason. We’ll see what happens. 🖤🧡

Animal Crossing update: Redd was in town. Got a new piece of art to add to my museum. Exciting! Loan is almost paid off. Like seriously! 😄

I’ve got my eye appointments tomorrow morning. I hope it goes well. I haven’t been super diligent with my drops. Eep!

I was pretty productive today. I washed dishes. Hurrah! I’m hoping to do more tomorrow. Clean and study!! That’s the plan.

Lastly, I wish things were different. I miss going out with friends, seeing family, and doing my own thing. Six months into this and it’s been up and down. There are so many emotions and feelings to sort through. 😞😫😭 But I’m doing my best. It’s been nice to chat with someone new – regardless of if it’s something more or not. Maybe we’re both interested? I don’t know. But I feel like 🥴 every time. 😂

I’m hoping to sleep soon. It’s an early day for me. Must practice driving too. Take care!

Good night.

Day 188.

Happy Wednesday! We made it to the middle of the week. 😎

I was feeling quite tired when I woke up, so I took a nap. It turned into 2 more hours of sleep. I felt pretty refreshed. Win!

Animal Crossing update: Things are the same on the island. I’ve saved enough to pay off my loan, but I’m waiting until I get it down to $100k. 🙂

Rare beauty stuff arrived today! I’m digging the lip soufflé and the highlighter. I like my makeup pretty natural and Selena’s line does the job. She’s also a Lupus Warrior! I always support the community. 💜💪🏼💜

I studied today. Made some progress with my class. Planning to read a bit more tonight before bed. I’m pretty productive at night. I’ve always been a night owl!

The Giants were the visiting team tonight. Pretty interesting. Lol. We got the W! 🖤🧡 The win was for the 49ers. ❤️💛 Kruk and Kuip mentioned them during the broadcast. 🥰

My workout was brutal, but I got it done. I wasn’t feeling too motivated. Proud of myself.

That was my Wednesday. Kinda feeling anxious for my call with the boss tomorrow. I’m aware that work will be different. I just need to be overly cautious about my surroundings and the people I interact with. I might be driving to work too. That’s a change! Fingers crossed that all goes well.

We’re still in the first wave. The things I read on social media just upsets me. There’s so much ignorance and selfishness. Absolutely frustrating! So many complaints to go back to “normal”, yet no one wants to listen to science and wear a mask! 😒😞😷 Please do your part. Rant over.

Good night.

Day 187.

Not a very Happy Tuesday for me. I dealt with a mosquito flying around in my room before bed. It was the most annoying thing ever! So I tried to fall asleep with my AirPods in my ears. It made me so anxious. I hope I can sleep better tonight.

I decided to clean the bathroom and the kitchen. Clean floors are happy floors! 🙂 I treated myself to a cup of ice cream afterwards. Hurrah!

Animal Crossing update: I’m ready to take money out of my savings account to pay for the rest of my loan. I need more home storage! Labelle stopped by today. The villager I want gone is still on my island. It’s getting old. Lol. I would like a new villager.

I missed out on some NBA games today since I took a nap after cleaning. The Nuggets advance after defeating the Clippers. 😱 The Heat beat the Celtics in Game 1 of the ECF.

The Giants are returning to SF to play the Mariners due to the terrible AQI in the PNW. Seattle will be the home team. This shall be interesting. I believe we have 12 games remaining. Go Giants! 🖤🧡

Speaking of AQI, the skies were finally blue today. That may change leading up to the weekend, but I plan to take advantage of it until then. I’ve got a bunch of doctor’s appointments lined up for this week and into next.

I’ve gotta exercise and shower. Hoping to sleep better tonight as I mentioned earlier.

Text convos are something. Haven’t really checked my phone because of my anxiety. 🙃 And work stuff too. Eep.

Hope y’all had a nice one. Take care!

Good night.

Day 185.

Football Sunday! It’s back. ❤️💛 The Niners struggled. It’s only one game. Adjustments will be made. Go Niners! 🙂

And the Giants were swept in SD. 😬 Hoping they pick themselves up. These upcoming games will be a challenge. Go Giants! 🖤🧡

Anxiety has been up and down. Still haven’t replied. 🙃

I slept in. I washed the dishes. Ordered boba. I’m hungry again. Might eat a bit more before bed.

Animal Crossing update: Had to time travel again to buy my turnips. I bought 30 this time around. Hoping to make a nice profit this week. My island is still a mess. 😂

I’m going to play my uke. Eventually respond to this text and tidy up. It’s a new week! I’m feeling pretty good. 💜

Hoping my assignment gets approved for my class. I’ve been waiting to take the test, but it’s still locked. Ugh. I think I mentioned this in yesterday’s entry.

Have a great week, everyone! Take care.

Good night.

Day 184.

Happy Saturday! I slept in longer than usual. Insomnia. So I stayed up watching the Amanda Knox documentary. It was interesting, but I still have a bunch of questions.

Just finished my workout. 600 squats done for the week! Week 3 ✅ I’m staying consistent. Some days can be really hard, but I stay motivated. I can do anything! It’s all in the mind. Focus.

Animal Crossing update: I time traveled to buy this sweater dress from the Able Sisters. Lol. I also bought a climbing wall. Not sure where to put it on my island. Maybe near the playground? We’ll see. Still paying my loan off. I’m almost there.

I miss baseball. Giants are still postponed. But supposedly the first test that was taken yesterday was a false positive. So we’ll see. 🖤🧡

I ate some really good Chinese food today. Before that I was overthinking. My usual routine. Lol. 🙃 I was brave and sent a text. It’s been more than a week since we talked. Not sure where this is going. But I’m here for the ride. I need to give myself credit for being brave and talking to someone new. We just can’t meet in person and it sucks.

I’m trying to make progress with my class, but my assignment needs to be graded first. Argh! I just wanted to take the test and be done with it. Maybe Monday?

Hopefully I don’t sleep too late. Might practice driving tomorrow. Football is back. Exciting! I think it’ll be a go come game time. It all depends on the air quality. Go Niners! ❤️💛

Still figuring things out. I hope I can clean tomorrow. It’s been a while. Lol.

That was my Saturday. Hope y’all had a nice one!

Good night.

Day 183.

TGIF! 🙂 We made it to the weekend. I stayed up watching Julie and the Phantoms. I finished it. So good!! 💗

I always reflect on 9/11. I was a high school freshman. RIP to all the beautiful souls. We remember. I have so much respect for first responders. Thank you. ❤️

The Giants didn’t play today. Someone tested positive for COVID-19 so the game was postponed. I hope our player will be okay. Name wasn’t disclosed. No baseball for us for the next few days. 😢

I’ve been awake for most of the day. I did take a nap after breakfast. I’m in the middle of working on my class assignment. I’m almost done! I just need to type up a paragraph. AQI was very unhealthy today. I hope it improves soon. There’s ash all over our car.

Productive chat with my therapist. She’s always encouraging me! Gotta face things head on. Fear won’t win.

I’ve gotta exercise in a bit. Must get my squats done.

Animal Crossing update: couldn’t find the message in a bottle. What?! This has happened two days in a row. Very odd. My island is doing alright. I’ll tend to it this weekend.

Alright. Time to sweat. Exercising helps me focus. Then I’ll finish my assignment. I can!

Have a great weekend, everyone. Take care!

Good night.

Day 182.

I didn’t do much today. Happy Thursday! I’m glad it’s almost the weekend. I need to recollect myself badly. 🙃

I’m really digging Julie and the Phantoms on Netflix. It dropped today. I’m already in the middle of s1. The cast is great!

I’m about to exercise in a bit. I opened Snapchat earlier today and it was a baseball memory! A year ago today I was at Oracle Park. I miss going to sporting events. I’m a little torn right now with a life decision. Not sure what to do! 😭 I’ll figure it out.

Animal Crossing update: nothing new. Still paying off my loan. Forgot to buy the cool washer at the store. Oh well. Maybe it’ll be back in a few weeks?

Giants lose in SD. Winning streak snapped. Pablo was DFA’d. I’m so sad about that. He’ll always be a Giants legend. Thanks for the memories, Pablo! You did well, kid. 🖤🧡

Btw Saweetie’s recent post on IG and Twitter made me cackle. I was so entertained. 🇵🇭❤️😆!

Time to work! If I’m feeling ambitious, I might study. If not, I can shelve it for tomorrow.

Good night.

Day 181.

Today was a trip. I woke up to an orange sky. It felt like time didn’t even exist. I was in awe. But the reality is – California is burning. Our beautiful state has already burned 2M acres this year. It’s heartbreaking. We must take care of Mother Earth! Climate change is here and it’s real. 😭💔🌎

I was so tired from the night before that I slept through the day. I even missed my appointment with my therapist. Thankfully I rescheduled for this Friday! 😄 But I’m so embarrassed. 🙈 I honestly thought it was tomorrow or next week. I hope she isn’t too pissed.

Animal Crossing update: Redd stopped by and I bought a new piece of art. Hurrah! Still paying off my loan. Almost there!!!

Giants win! We took both games from the streaking Mariners. We’re looking good. I don’t want to expect too much since we’ve got a long stretch of games with potential postseason contenders. A game at a time is my motto. Go Giants!! 🖤🧡

I’m still very much in my feelings and I’m trying to get through this funk. I exercised to get my mind off of things. I’m keeping up with it! 💪🏼

I watched Last Christmas again. It always makes me cry! I think this is my 4th viewing. Henry Golding is so charming. Emilia Clarke is really cool too. I love them together!! 💕

Well, I’m hoping to do more with my time tomorrow. I really need to finish my assignment and test for my class. I’ve been avoiding it. The anxiety is real, but I know I can do this!

Have a great night. Take care!

Day 179.

Happy Labor Day! Thank you to all essential workers during this unprecedented time. ❤️

So the dating scene is scarce. I matched with a mutual friend and that went nowhere. I’m still a little hesitant to continue contact with the guy I guess I’m still keeping in touch with. He’s seeking out marriage. I’m seeking out a relationship. My coworker has told me not to stress about my conversations with him. Do I just reach out again? Sigh. Dating app fatigue is real. I got some pointers from Bumble support, but no luck. I’m going to verify my profile tomorrow. Let’s see if my matches improve.

I went for a walk today to help with some groceries and I needed to clear my head. It was a beautiful day! 🥰

I took a nap once we got back. I couldn’t deal with the warmth at home. I had a cooling blanket. Kinda helped.

Animal Crossing update: so close to paying off my loan! I hope I pay it off this week.

I gotta buckle down and study some more this week. I’m sure I’ll also be provided with a work update. Ah! I’m a little stressed.

Time to take care of trash night. I got my squats done too! ✅ My workout routine is about 15 minutes with my resistance bands.

Still trying to remain positive during this pandemic. I’m up and down. That’s the truth.

Hope y’all had a nice one. Football is pretty much here. Go Niners! ❤️💛 And the Giants beat the Dbacks again. 😎🖤🧡 Back at .500!!!

Good night.

Day 178.

Happy Sunday! It’s a new week and I’m ready to conquer it all. I’m still in a weird headspace. Trying to figure it out.

The Giants won! Last game in the series tomorrow. 🖤🧡

I got some work done although I was very distracted. It was also a really hot day in the city. I think we hit 96? Oh dear. 🥵 My window is open and I can still feel the hot air.

I might just take a quick nap. I’m a little emo at the moment. 😞 I played my uke to take my mind off of things.

Animal Crossing update: I’m so close to paying off my loan. I also saw shooting stars! ✨ Had to time travel to get turnips. Success!

My head hurts. I’m going to nap.

Hope y’all had a nice Sunday! Take care.

Good night.
