Day 167.

It’s been a heavy day for me. I had to take a nap after hearing about the current events in sports, politics, and the murder of innocent people protesting for change! I’ve been very vocal about my political views. My blog is a place of love and safety. I will continue to support #BlackLivesMatter. 🖤

I’m also dealing with my own personal issues. I guess I’m trying to figure out what was said. Am I overthinking? Am I overreacting? I’m a strong Piscean womyn. I’ve always had good intuition. Of course people are owed the benefit of the doubt. So we shall see. I had to step away from my phone for the last few hours. I’ll respond when I’m not so emotionally charged and clear headed. This pandemic has become overwhelming. I miss social interaction especially in public settings, but I’m still doing my part and exercising caution no matter how much I want to meet somebody new.

I haven’t found the strength to study and take care of work stuff. Maybe I can work on something for an hour or two. I must play my uke too. I played some Animal Crossing too. I was quite distracted so I didn’t play for long. 🙃

I finished my 100 squats! I’m challenging myself to take care of my body and eat well. So far I’ve done 300. Another 300 more! I can!!! 💜💪🏼💜

Lastly, Happy National Dog Day! To the present and past puppers, thank you for your love and loyalty. We love you always! ❤️

Time to focus. Hope y’all had a nice one. Take care!

Good night.

Day 166.

I’m all over the place. But hey, it’s Tuesday! Splendor in the Grass was really good btw. Natalie Wood ❤️

I’ve got work things to think about, some other things to think about, and then some more. I’m kinda in an iffy mood. I hate internalizing things. 😩 At least I got my squats done.

Animal Crossing: I checked my island. I made sure I sold some turnips. Nothing too eventful.

I had ramen for lunch and banh mi for dinner.

I’ve been watching the Giants game since 6:45pm. We’re in extras. Come on, Gigantes!!!! Send us home. 🖤🧡

I gotta study and brainstorm tonight. Might be a long night for me. Must focus on something else to pass the time. I’ll probably play my uke too.

Hope y’all had a nice one. Take care!

Good night.

EDIT: Walk-off! Thanks Solano!!! GIANTS! 🖤🧡

Day 164.

Happy Sunday! ❤️

I spent the day cleaning and organizing. I went ham for about 8 hours with some breaks in between. Had to trash and shred old papers. Tomorrow I’ll be organizing some more. I’ll have to start a donation pile.

I’m currently exercising as I type this. I’m using a resistance band for my legs. The burn!

Highlights of my day: putting up the artwork I’ve collected over the years. I finally played Britney’s debut album on vinyl. Sounds amazing! It was the first album I bought with my own money at Costco back in the day. I’m dating myself! Lol. The Aces and Little Mix have also been on repeat. Soundtracks of my current mood.

I’ve been in my head the last few days. It tends to happen a lot, but I’m aware that it’s because of my anxiety. I’m doing alright. Staying beautiful and confident through the struggle.

The Giants are streaking! Yayyy!!! But today was sad since we had to say farewell to Hunter Pence again. He’s a treasure in SF! I miss him a lot already. He’s contributed so much in the past. It’s hard to see him go, but it’s part of the business. Forever Giant. 🖤🧡

Animal Crossing update: I played early to buy my turnips and then I checked in about a half hour ago to stare at the fireworks. Lol. I’ve been distracted by other things. 🙃

Lastly, Happy Birthday to Kobe! You are missed. 💜

Hope y’all had a nice weekend. Have a kick ass week! 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 161.

I was very productive today! Hurrah. 🙂 I’m pacing myself through everything. It’s so important to just take breaks in between everything.

I’m feeling a little under the weather. It might be because of the smoke outside. I didn’t even go out there. I’m also sleepy since I didn’t nap.

Animal Crossing update: nothing new to report. Must reorganize items and figure out what else to put on Mango.

I think the word of the day is reflection. During this pandemic, I’ve done a lot of it. It’s nice getting to talk to someone new these last few weeks. I’ve gained another perspective.

Exciting times for the Giants. Joey Bart was called up! Yay!!! We won tonight and he got his big league hit. 🖤🧡 Glad he’s with us and I can’t wait to see what more he can contribute.

One more IKEA thing to build. My desk! Everything else is done. I’m planning to organize most of my belongings this weekend. Looking forward to it.

I’ve gotta watch the DNC remarks from tonight and Biden’s speech. He’s a sign of hope! ❤️

That was my day. I’m excited for the weekend. Hope y’all had a nice one. The Aces are on repeat btw. Love them!! 💗

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 159.

I’m honestly all over the place. That is the truth. I’m trying to deal with everything currently on my plate. Balance is key! I got this. 😎

I had to get my labs done today. The standing orders weren’t in the computer again so I had to play phone tag with my team. Next time I will give them advance notice so the orders are already in the computer. Yeesh. I think my labs are good. Hurrah! If it looks questionable, they’ll get back to me.

I tried the new ramen packets we have. Had that for lunch. It was really good! Just a lot of salt – so the next time I make it, I’ll adjust it.

August is flying by! I wish time would slow down. I’ve just been super anxious. 🙃

I played a bit of Animal Crossing when I woke up. Haven’t touched it since. I’m in the middle of my TEFL course. Doing my best to make progress daily.

Giants split the series in LAA! And I’m glad they’re returning home. 🖤🧡

I hope tomorrow works out. 🤞🏼 I’m sure it will. Ah!

Good night and take care!

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.
