Day 113.

I’m so anxious right now. I have a low grade fever, stomachache, and body aches. I knew something was off when I woke up from my nap this afternoon. Not sure what’s going on but I’m choosing to isolate from the rest of my family as a just in case. If my symptoms worsen, I have the contact information for the coronavirus hotline in the city. 😬😷 I was able to eat pho and an egg roll. My only meal. I hope I can keep it down.

I’m tracing back to the last few days. The only places I stepped foot in was the bank, post office, Walgreens, and our local taqueria. I had my mask on at all times and hand sanitizer in my bag. I hope I’ll be okay. I’m a little nervous. 😞

This morning we said goodbye to our family car. So many fond memories of the van especially our road trips and picking up one of our dogs. I was a little sad, but relieved.

Animal Crossing update: I’ve been collecting all kinds of sea creatures! I love being able to swim now with the current update. I’m looking forward to making all the mermaid furniture. I currently only have the DIY for a table. I sold the rest of my turnips today too. Yay!

I might play the uke in a bit. I also want to watch a movie, but I’m trying to get lots of rest. I’m also taking in more fluids than usual. Please send positive thoughts and prayers my way.

That’s my Friday. I hope y’all had a nice one. Take care!

Good night.

Day 112.

I didn’t do much today. I had to recover from yesterday’s activities. I stayed up and then I slept in.

The only productive thing I did today was wash the dishes. I always listen to music while doing it. The time tends to go by faster. Clean dishes and great music! It’s a win-win. 🙂

We had Mac’d for dinner. I considered it brunch. Lol. Their offerings are delicious. The one with the hot Cheetos topping was really good. I also had some fries.

Animal Crossing updated! So now we can all swim in the ocean. Very fun! I already have a few sea creatures. My favorites at the moment are the sea star and jellyfish. I can’t wait to collect more.

I just practiced my uke. I was supposed to clean today, but I can save that for tomorrow. It’s going to be a big day. We’re donating our family car from years ago. So many fond memories like our drive up to Portland and Seattle! Road trips were the greatest in the van. Thanks for the memories! ❤️ I’ll always remember The Beatles playing on repeat.

I ordered another mask. This time it’s an Animal Crossing print. It’ll get to me in two weeks. I hope it fits! The owner was very responsive and answered all my questions.

Well, that was my Thursday. This week is flying! I hope y’all had a good one. Take care.

Good night.

Day 111.

I finally took a walk outside and ran errands. We were mindful of our time in one place. It’s best to keep moving. It felt great to be outside again and enjoy the sunshine. We had our masks on and kept our distance. 😷🌤

We supported our local Mexican restaurant for lunch. I had a carne asada burrito. Always so delicious! We missed it. We also bumped into our relatives as we were leaving with our orders.

I had a decent night’s sleep too. That’s always nice. It’s a new month and we’ve got a bunch of goals and tasks to complete. I’ve got two more months to clean my room, buy a dresser, and get a new desk. It’ll all get done. Just gotta stay positive! ❤️ 2020 has been tough, but we can do this.

I took a nap after we watched Robocop. A childhood fave of ours. It’s been a while.

Animal Crossing update: I planted more money trees. Yes! I also paid off part of my loan. And I bought another painting. More art to donate to my museum.

We’re watching Cash Cab now. Such a good show. I gotta practice my uke and take my nighttime meds. Today wiped me out, but it’s a good kind of tired. Hope y’all had a nice Wednesday. Take care!

Good night.

Day 110.

At the beginning of the day all I did was catch up on my shows and movies. I finished Love, Victor. What a great story and cast! I love all the different personalities. The show also talks about important issues like family dynamics and one’s identity. Here’s hoping for season 2! Felix reminds me of a mix of Shawn Mendes and Harry Styles. Gordo from Lizzie McGuire too. He’s in my top 3 fave characters.

I woke up at a decent time, but I was feeling sluggish. Decided to fight through that by watching Us. Jordan Peele is a really good writer. I was intrigued the entire time. I still have some questions, but I’m sure other viewers can give me the answers. Afterwards, I took a nap. I slept for a few hours.

I had lunch as soon as I woke up. Our See’s Candies delivery arrived a day early. Scotchmallow, gummies, and chocolate! 😋 I wish I ordered rum nougat. Next time.

We also watched BlacKkKlansman! What a movie. Great cast as well. Adam Driver. 😍 I enjoy Spike Lee’s films. Definitely overlaps with the current events and political climate. I don’t understand the hatred and anger over someone’s identity. It makes me angry just thinking about it. Folx must do better. 🖤 #BlackLivesMatter

Tried A&W for the first time today. I got the coney dog and a root beer. Might have to do the root beer float next time. It’s refreshing!

Animal Crossing update: loan is almost paid off. The goal is to pay off about 10k bells each day. I’m getting there. Yes! I need to sell or give away clothing. My storage is full. I’ll figure it out. Lol.

Practiced my uke and needed a Stand By Me refresher. I remember it now so I’ll be practicing that some more this week.

Hoping to walk tomorrow. Still quite anxious, but I must face my fears. I’ll wear my mask and keep my distance from people!

That was my Tuesday. I need a good night’s sleep. Hope y’all had a nice one. Take care!

Good night.

Day 109.

Mentally I’m in a weird place. 😢 There’s so much pushing in my life at the moment. I’m still trying to enjoy my time off. I’m aware there’s much to do before the end of the summer, but I need to go at my own pace. It’s like do I need to ask for permission? I’m a grown woman. 😒 I’m dealing with a lot on a daily and weekly basis. I wish people would be more understanding.

I felt the sunshine on my skin today. I was able to bask in it for about 15-20 minutes in the backyard. It was wonderful! The dogs were with us too.

I’d like to go for a walk tomorrow, but I must be super careful. We’ll see how I’m feeling when I wake up.

Animal Crossing update: Paid off part of my loan. Still tidying everything up on my island. Work in progress.

I took a long nap this afternoon. I didn’t wake up until 3.5 hours later. Oh well! That’s how my body copes. I’ll retrain myself to get up at a reasonable time. Until then, it’s Summer and I’d like to milk every second of it.

Going to practice my uke and maybe watch a movie tonight. I’m thinking BlacKkKlansman. I’m currently listening to ABBA. So good.

I’m hoping the rest of the week gets better. I’m excited for the Animal Crossing update on 7/3. We can swim. 🙂

Take care and be safe!

Good night.

Day 108.

My headspace has been something these last few days. I’ve been dealing with anxiety, but I feel like it’s slowly turning into depression. It stems from just my own emotional health and the pandemic. Again cases are rising in California. It’s terrifying! I eventually want to start walking again, but I’ll be very cautious. Preparation is key! Phone, keys, wallet, mask, and hand sanitizer will be in tow.

I haven’t had the best day today. I guess my positive would be Animal Crossing. It allows me to take care of my island and socialize with my villagers. I’m admiring the marine life in my museum. Love the screen capture! I miss social gatherings, but it’s just impossible right now.

I got into a spat earlier. Family SMH 😒🤬 It can be so suffocating sometimes. Sigh.

I washed dishes earlier so that’s where all my productivity went. Afterwards I took a long nap.

Now I’m awake and will practice the uke and hopefully eat dinner. Maybe watch The Princess and the Frog. I just want this week to be better.

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

Good night.

Day 107.

Slept in. That’s usually my go to on Saturdays. I played a little bit of Animal Crossing before I went back to sleep. It was the first Bug-Off event today! I caught a few bugs. I ended up with a spider web and a toy centipede. I want the butterfly wallpaper next time. 🙂

I helped make dinner and dessert today. We had tacos and dark chocolate brownies with peanut butter M&M’s. Everything was so good! I just have a bunch to wash, but that’s okay. Totally worth it.

We watched a lot of Gordon Ramsay tonight. His shows are always entertaining. Good stuff.

I’m hoping to sleep early tonight. We’ll see. I’ve just been dealing with a lot of anxiety lately. Trying to stay positive. It’s time to play my uke.

Hope y’all had a great Saturday. Take care!

Good night.

Day 106.

Happy Birthday to you, Ariana Grande! 🖤 Throwback to the last concert I attended. December 2019! She’s always so much fun.

Fatigued. Dealt with more trauma in our neighborhood. It has happened five times dating back to 2019. It’s very scary. We just gotta be vigilant. I don’t understand why people continue to target the same car. Let alone the same neighborhood. 🤬

Animal Crossing update: Bug Off taking place tomorrow! Super exciting. That’s all my villagers have been talking about for the last week. I was so confused. Lol.

Masks. None of them fit me properly! They either folds my ears over or just slip off completely. I lost money since I can’t return it due to the incorrect size. Shoulda just went with a medium. Ugh. That’s my bad. I measured from my bridge to my chin too. Sigh. Please take COVID19 seriously!!! Cases are increasing in California. San Francisco has halted reopening businesses.

It’s been a bleh kinda day for me. I hope it’s better tomorrow. Glad it’s the weekend.

And let’s arrest the cops who killed Breonna Taylor! Thinking of Elijah McClain and his family too.

Gotta practice the uke. Enjoy the weekend! Take care.

Good night.

Day 105.

RIP Michael Jackson. ❤️

I hope I’m not coming down with something. I’ve got a dry cough and my throat is scratchy. I’ll take my temp shortly. 😬 (No temp. Whew.)

I got up at a decent time, but I ended up falling asleep for 2.5 more hours. I didn’t feel too bad. I got around to doing my laundry too. Yay! I did two loads. My jackets are finally clean.

Super proud of myself. I didn’t nap today. Definitely feeling it. Ahh. I’m planning to sleep a little early tonight. Anyway, I cleaned a few areas in my room today. It’s so easy to make things messy, but harder to clean. Does that happen to anyone else?

Animal Crossing update: I finally grabbed a few money bags on my island. I’ve got some more so I’m doing okay with bells. I did a little shopping and sold a bunch of items. I also paid some of my loan off. Sold the last of my turnips. The price hasn’t been more than 200. Ugh!

I’m gonna finish exercising, practice a bit of my uke, and reward myself with a green tea face mask. I also updated my laptop. It took forever. Must sort through my archives. I have so many pictures. I want to organize it all.

That was my Thursday. June is almost done. Looking forward to July! Hope y’all had a good one. Posting a throwback photo btw. That’s Bianca and I in Vegas in 2010. Our first visit. I loved that black and blue dress. 🤓🥂 Take care!

Good night.

Day 104.

It was indeed a happy Wednesday for me! I was about to sleep, but the results for my echo were released at 5am. My heart looks good and there are no significant changes compared to the one that I had in 11/2019. Yay!!! So grateful. 💜

I randomly woke up at 10:30am. Our dog heard noises and it turns out it was just my sister. Lol. So since I was awake I decided to play some Animal Crossing. My island is still a hot mess. Oh well. I made all this fencing, but I don’t know what to do with it. My playground is still a work in progress too. Mehhh.

I made banana bread. I needed to destress. My sisters brought Sal to the groomers, so I decided to bake before they got back. It’s a simple and delicious recipe! Next on the to bake list is pound cake. 😋

We got to catch up with our friend via text. Lots of new things going on with her. I’m so proud! ❤️ I’m still figuring things out for myself. I’m at a crossroads. Sigh.

I fell asleep. My nap was supposed to be an hour. It became 1.5 hours. Whoops. I’m planning to be much more active tomorrow. Gotta tackle laundry.

Must practice my uke and take my evening meds. That was my Wednesday. Btw I ordered two new masks. One of them is floral and the other one is Sailor Moon! 🙂

Hope y’all had a good one. Take care!

Good night.
