Day 281.

My first day of Christmas break was wonderful. I was able to sleep in for a bit, but had to get up for my COVID test at the drive-thru site. Got my results a few hours ago: negative! 😄

Bought boba for the fam as a treat and we ordered lunch at one of our favorite restaurants. Yay!

Animal Crossing update: Made my first Snowboy and decided to move the tailors shop. Yay! Lots of changes on my island.

Afterwards, I watched Muriel’s Wedding with Mom. She loved the movie! It’s so funny and I love the cast. I’ve only seen it twice. I’ll have to watch it again very soon. I’m planning on watching more movies during break.

Got some goodies in the mail. Must write my Xmas cards and send them out soon. The latest will probably be Monday or Tuesday.

Currently watching The Life and Death of Princess Diana. I was fortunate enough to visit Kensington Palace last year. It was beautiful! Still one of the world’s greatest tragedies. RIP Princess Diana. 🤍

Well, I wish you all a happy weekend! Take care and be safe.

Good night.

Day 279.

Happy Wednesday! I’ve got one more day and then it’s break. Today was trying due to my own personal struggles, but I made it! The pain is real though. 😩😭 At least it’s my last one of the year. Get what I’m hinting at? 🥴 Wore my Stoggles to work too. Love them!

I was really happy that my second to last Sanrio package was delivered today. Most of my gifts have been distributed! Hurrah. Now I just gotta take care of the fam. It’ll all get done. Must mail my holiday cards too!

My sleep has been up and down. I watched A California Christmas before bed. It was okay. Lolll. Super cheesy. I also watched some South Park and Family Matters. Good times!

Animal Crossing update: I bought more holiday attire. Went with the Santa hat and dress. Super cute! Would love another beanie. I finally got to talk to Bonbon. I really miss Goose! 😭 Spider bit me last night. I’ll eventually catch one.

We watched The Masked Singer finale. I knew 2/3 finalists. The winner was a plot twist for me. See ya again in the spring! That’ll be a while.

I’m pretty tired today so I’m planning to sleep early. I hope y’all had a nice one. Take care!

Good night.

Day 277.

The holiday countdown is on. Three more days! Happy Monday!! 😄

I’ve been cold for most of the day. I didn’t wear enough layers at work. I’m paying for it now. 🥶 Speaking of work, we’re now in new spaces. It might change come 2021, but I’ll take it for now. The hills are too much for me so I’m glad I can catch my breath.

I also distributed holiday gifts to my coworkers and boss! It always makes me happy. I love giving to my community.

I got home in time to join a Zoom meeting for Sacred Grief & The Divine Masculine. Glad I was able to attend! I learned some new knowledge. 💕

I’m pretty tired today since my sleep was disturbed. Ahh! I’m hoping to sleep early tonight. Before I fell asleep again, I played some Animal Crossing! I need to chop down some trees. Must find the snowballs! ⛄️ Goose has officially moved out. Bonbon will be moving in shortly.

Well, that was my day. I’m currently watching The Shot about the research and study of the COVID vaccine. Yay science!!!

Hope y’all had a nice one. Take care!

Good night.

Day 275.

I love Saturdays!!! I got to sleep in and it was amazing. I woke up in time to greet the postman and retrieve our packages. Our Stoggles are finally here!!! I can’t wait to rock them on Monday. 😎🥽 Super cute and fashionable.

Rewatched Meet John Doe. Old movies are awesome! Before that I placed a delivery order for See’s. Christmas goodies for family, friends, and colleagues!! I love their chocolate. Their offerings are limited. I miss my faves – scotchmallow and scotch kisses. So good!

I took a nap afterwards. I needed to rest up before my community event at 5pm. It was a film screening of Hinga by Sammay and a community celebration followed after the Q&A from the cast. I’m so glad I made time to attend. I love supporting my FilAm community. ❤️

I spent about two hours editing pictures for my BFF. Her mom needs a 2×2 photo for work. It’s been a while since I edited. I kinda had to reteach myself. I’m currently using Affinity. I’ll get the hang of it again.

Just played some Animal Crossing and caught the last of Jeopardy. I gave away the last of my turnips to Penelope. My island is doing okay. I need to revamp some areas. Need to pay off my log staircase!!! I want it ready for Christmas.

Well, that was my day! Oh yeah, I drank some moscato and took half a shot for my Lola. It’s her birthday tomorrow as well as my cousin, Jekah. I miss our extended family! I can’t believe it’s been a year since we gathered for a huge celebration for Lola. Take me back to 2019!

Lastly, Happy Birthday to my friend, Romina!! I miss our college days. 💙💛

Take care and good night!

Day 274.

TGIF!!!!! I am screaming. We made it through such a trying week. I’m so proud of my community and my crew. We’ll get through this together. 💗

I had a decent night’s sleep. I did wake up before my alarm. I decided to just play Animal Crossing. It’s legit snowing now!!! I love it. So pretty. I haven’t made a snowman yet. I’m excited!! 😊

More Christmas presents have arrived for family, friends, and colleagues. I love gifting things!

We watched Dateline tonight. It was a good, but very sad report. Sigh. Tough to wrap my head around.

Anyway, it’s raining and it’s calming. I really need this weekend to decompress, reflect, and chill out. We are starting to heal. It’ll take time, but there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Cases are still surging in California. I’m waiting for my Stoggles. Here’s hoping it actually gets delivered tomorrow!! It was originally supposed to arrive today.

Alright, this is good night. Take care and have a great weekend!!

Day 267.

California has a stay at home order. I’m all for it! Cases are still surging. It’s terrifying. Stay safe, everyone!! And if you must leave your home, make sure you’re masked up, keeping your distance, and washing your hands.

So happy it’s Friday! I’m hoping to get as much as I can done on my to do list this weekend. The holiday season is different, but it’s here and I’m excited to write and send some small gifts to family & friends. 2020 has kept me on my toes, but I’m making the most of it.

Animal Crossing update: My island is the same. I did buy some new clothes. Hoping to play some more tomorrow.

Watched a wild 20/20 episode!! It was mind blowing, but I had a feeling.

I might buy a few more things online at Sanrio. And Lesportsac wasn’t able to locate my original order from the 2nd Hello Kitty collection. Thankfully, I ordered another item as a just in case.

Health news: I’m hopeful that things will be okay. I just need to follow up with my medical team. Fingers crossed.

I also had a really good session with my therapist. I love venting!

Well, enjoy the weekend! Take care.

Good night.

Day 260.

TGIF!!! Where did the week go?! I can’t believe my break is almost over. I’ll enjoy the weekend. A day at a time is my mentality right now.

I got to sleep in. It was nice! I decided to browse some Black Friday sales while I was in bed. I only bought a few things. I’m being really reasonable!

Animal Crossing update: Mango is chill. I miss Turkey Day already. Must get ready for Christmas! I’m really excited. I’ve said it before.

Washed the dishes and stuff we used yesterday. I really don’t like having things sit in the sink. I like everything clean. Took me 30-45 minutes. After that I seasoned the iron skillet for an hour. I’m new to it! I only seasoned it once. It’s recommended you do it 2-3 times. Maybe next time. Love the skillet! We finally cooked the filet mignon pieces. It was good. So many leftovers too!

We just watched Dateline. The stories are always very interesting!

Lastly, I’m remembering Harvey Milk and George Moscone tonight. It’s been 42 years since their passing. RIP. ❤️

Enjoy the weekend! Take care and be safe.

Good night.

Day 259.

Happy Turkey Day! 🦃🧡 It was a different kind of celebration, but I’m so thankful for everything. 2020’s been a trying year, but I made the most of it. I’m planning to finish strong! I’m blessed with family, friends, shelter, food, and so much more. It really is all about the little things. Perspective. I hope everyone had a nice holiday!! I also wanted to acknowledge the Ohlone tribe – the Indigenous people of the SF Bay Area. ❤️

The sister and I went ham in the kitchen. We made oven baked mac & cheese, heated up the Omaha Steaks thanksgiving package, finally made sweet potatoes with marshmallows, and so much dessert! I’m stuffed. We’ll be cooking the steak tomorrow. Didn’t get a chance to tackle it today. Leftovers too!

Animal Crossing update: Turkey Day with Franklin was a lot of fun! I got all the items and the DIY recipes. It took a while, but my villagers pulled through with their trades. I fished for a while. 😂 Good times. Back to a normal day tomorrow. 🍁

I’ve been listening to so much Little Mix and Ari too. I ordered the signed Stuck With U CD a few months ago. Turns out the signatures are auto penned. 😦 Found out on Twitter. Haven’t received mine yet, but I know people aren’t happy. Yeesh!

Might look into some Black Friday sales, but I’m pretty picky when it comes to certain items. We’ll see.

I’m pretty tired. But I’m planning to watch the last epi of The Queen’s Gambit before I sleep tonight. Woo!

Lastly, our cousin gave birth to her son today! We’re aunties again. 💗 So exciting! I hope we can see everyone soon…maybe 2022?!

This is good night. Take care!

Day 258.

It’s Wednesday! Happy Turkey Eve!! 🙂 There’s so much to prep tomorrow so I’m planning to sleep earlier than usual.

I spent most of my day watching TV. I’ve got two episodes left of The Queen’s Gambit. I’m honestly hooked! I took a long nap after lunch. It was much needed.

Animal Crossing update: I got to tidy up part of my island! Win!! Looking forward to the holiday festivities tomorrow. 🦃🍴Should be a lot of fun.

I’ve been listening to a lot of music lately. It’s a mix of holiday, contemporary, and the Y2K era!! I’ve played my uke two days in a row. I’m learning some new songs.

This time of year is about being with family and friends, but it’s super important to celebrate at home. 2020 has been very different, but may our actions now preserve holidays and celebrations for the future! We can do it!!! 😷❤️ Be mindful of our essential workers too – we owe them so much!

Take care and good night! May you all enjoy the feast. Celebrate responsibly!

Day 257.

Happy Tuesday! 😄 I stayed up watching The Queen’s Gambit. I’m hooked! Beth is such a fierce character. She’s a badass!

I got through some chores today. We’re getting the house ready for Christmas too. Time to put up decorations! It’s always so much fun putting up the tree.

I even got a chance to restart Becoming. My goal is to take it slow during break. I feel like I rush my self during a work week. It’s important to take your time. We’re all works in progress! I hope to finish the book by 2021.

I’m really missing family and friends, but it’s best to keep our distance and catch up online. The news is overwhelming over here in California. We’ve gotta buckle down and get this virus under control.

Animal Crossing update: I’m starting to sell the random items that I dumped on my island. I’m also putting things in storage. CJ is in town! He’s a lot of fun. Must sell him more fish.

I’ve been feeling quite tired and a little off. I just hope it’s fatigue. I’m not eating too much junk nowadays. I’m being super mindful of what I put in my body.

Time to blast some tunes and unwind. I hope y’all had a nice one! Take care.

Good night.
