Day 76.

The cool down started in the city today. I miss the warm weather, but I’m okay with a chilly day.

I stayed up watching Sweet Magnolias. I finished it! I hope the show returns for s2. What a cliffhanger! I used to watch Hart of Dixie. The funny thing is I haven’t finished that show. I think I must. I have a few episodes left. Maybe I can get to it this weekend.

I slept in to catch up on sleep. I got up before 3pm which has been typical for me during quarantine. I squeezed in a bowl of porridge before eating lunch. We spent the afternoon watching Unsolved Mysteries. Played a few hours of Animal Crossing. I’m happy to announce I’ve paid off another loan. My third room is being built. I need more bridges and inclines on my island. That’s the goal. Let’s get to 4 stars!

Today was a rest day for me. I’m quite sore since I had a yoga session yesterday. It’s a yoga day tomorrow. 🙂 I also practiced my uke. It helps me destress.

That was my Wednesday. Hope you all had a nice one. Take care.

Good night!

Day 74.

Happy Monday! The weekend is officially over. I just wanted to reflect on this Memorial Day. It’s different, but the message remains the same. We remember those who have served and are still serving. Thank you for your sacrifice. ❤️

It’s been an okay day. I washed dishes. Yeah! That’s a win.

I’m feeling more tired today than usual. I’m also getting anxiety over my video appt tomorrow morning with my doc. I haven’t been taking care of myself in the best ways. My diet has been complete crap. As the shelter in place will soon be lifted, it’s difficult to go back to what was. What’s normal? It’s already a different world out there. My anxiety has been something. I’m trying to just breathe and meditate. A day at a time.

Anyway, we watched a bunch of Unsolved Mysteries. So many good stories. Some of them I remember and the other ones not so much.

We decided to bake cupcakes. Stress baking! Woo. Funfetti ftw. I only ate 3. That’s self control. 🙃

I played some Animal Crossing today. I didn’t do as much compared to other days. I stayed up till 5am to start the new day. The message in the bottle always makes me happy. I’ve got some new DIY recipes. I’m so close to paying off my loan and finally getting a bridge built. I’ve invested 100+ hours. The game is wild, but it’s kept me sane during quarantine.

I practiced a bit of the uke today too. I’ve been consistent. I want all the chords to stick.

I’ve just been reflecting on my life today. It’s been weeks since I’ve had a commute to work. I miss it. Can I even go back to that? So many questions and not enough answers. This virus changed everything. I mentioned this before but I really did have a lot of hopes and dreams for 2020. I feel sad for those we’ve lost and for those still fighting. 😭💔 I’ll remain hopeful. Please do your part, stay home as much as possible, and wear your mask!!! 😷

I want to sleep soon. Hope you all had a nice day. Good night. 💜

Day 73.

Happy Sunday! ❤️

Lack of sleep messed me up and I’ve been tired but I made the most of the day. It was beautiful today. The weather’s been so nice.

I’d like to think I’m making good progress on Animal Crossing. I made new signs for my orchard, sold a bunch of stuff, and made it to bells island! It’s rare. Glad I saved my nook miles ticket.

We had Panda Express for lunch. I also had it for dinner. Can’t keep away from the orange chicken. I took a long nap after watching a few episodes of Unsolved Mysteries. The ultimate throwback. Robert Stack was the best!

I caught up with friends via text today too. We just watched The Simpsons Movie, Sex and the City epis, and now we’re watching The Land Before Time. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen this movie. Childhood memories. 💜

Enjoy the holiday tomorrow. Wishing you all a good night!

Day 72.

A fairly productive day. 👍🏼

I spent my afternoon watching Sex and the City with my sisters. It’s one of our favorite shows. E! was having a marathon, but we decided to watch on HBO Now. Still so funny after all these years.

I tried to clean, but I was distracted with Animal Crossing. Jamie and I played together for a bit. I still want to do more with my island, but I don’t know where to start. I’m a little frustrated. 😬 But I will not compare my island. This is my first go at the game. I think I’m doing alright.

Had Taco Bell for dinner. Yum. A family favorite.

Dealing with my time of the month. I’m in pain at the moment. It’ll be like this for the next few days. Normalize periods! But hey, on the bright side I’m safe at home and can deal with the pain in peace. Lol. #crampssuck

I took a long nap. I’m a bit groggy, but that’ll subside soon. Planning to play a bit more Animal Crossing and practice my uke. 🙂

And that was my Saturday. I really want 🍫🍪🍭. Yaaaas.

Good night. 💜

Day 55.

Happy 89th Birthday, Willie Mays! 🖤🧡 Birthday greetings to our Lola Onen too. We miss you. ❤️

I had a restful night’s sleep! It’s been so long since I could say that. I woke up at about 9am. And then I played Animal Crossing. 😊 Every morning is a little surprise when I start up the game. I love it!

I spent most of the day with the dogs and taking care of some errands at home. I measured a jacket that might be sold. Fingers crossed. I was also preparing myself for a study. I wanted to nap before it, but I did it afterwards instead. I think it went well.

I fell asleep for a few hours and I woke up at 9pm. Overall it was a good day. I had the rest of the taco meat from Taco Bell. Made two tacos, one soft and the other crunchy. I also had carrots, Devon custard, and strawberries. I think today was a fairly healthy day. I did have a handful of candy and that’s alright. 😎

Practiced my uke. Spent 20-30 minutes on it. I’ve learned a bit of I’m Yours. The uke challenge concludes this week, but I’ll continue to learn more chords and songs. I’ve learned so much since day 1! I’m really proud of myself. 💜

Now we’re going to watch some episodes of The Simpsons. But first, some more Animal Crossing. I’m bummed my museum is under renovation, but it’ll be back tomorrow. I wanted to donate some fossils but it’ll be done later.

Hope you all had a pleasant Wednesday. Take care!

Good night.

Day 54.

What a day it’s been. When my sleep gets disturbed, it’s difficult for me to fall back asleep. So I stayed awake and I didn’t nap. Reminds me of college finals – lack of sleep and feeling sluggish.

Animal Crossing is now part of my routine. There are so many new things on the island. I even got to hang out with my cousin on his and I was able to take foreign fruits back with me. I planted them and they should be ready in a few days. Yay! It’s nice to connect with family and friends who also play.

Day 27 of the 30 day uke challenge. I can’t believe it’s been that long. I’ve made progress no matter how big or small. It’s great! Strumming, chord changes, and staying on beat is still a bit hard for me. But practice makes progress. I’ll keep going until I get it right. 😊

I had a video chat with my therapist. It was the first time. Usually we talk on the phone, but I felt comfortable enough this time around.

So much TV. We watched Wheel of Fortune, Forensic Files, The Masked Singer, and Family Feud. It was an eventful day. Now I’m crashing. I can feel the fatigue so I’m hoping I get a good night’s sleep. I’d like to tackle some cleaning tomorrow too.

Lastly, today is World PH Day. It’s been 12 years since my diagnosis. Can’t stop, won’t stop. 💜

Hope your Tuesdays were great. Take care!

Good night.

Day 36.

TGIF! ❤️ That’s me in Toronto in front of Kim’s Convenience, one of my favorite Canadian shows. The brother took the pic. This was June 2019. Such a fun city! I’ll be back. 🙂

It was a pretty good day. I was able to recycle a lot of old papers again. That’s as far as I could get today. I’m hoping to do more tomorrow. I was lacking energy. I still am right now. Might take a quick nap.

Ukulele practice! I can hear the notes better when I’m strumming. That’s a good thing.

Watched The First Wives Club for the first time ever. I really liked it. And then I watched Rescue 911, Unsolved Mysteries, Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, and Shark Tank with the fam! I saw part of 20/20, Siegfried and Roy’s story after the 2003 accident. I hope I can rewatch it.

My eyes are getting heavy. So it’s time for that nap. Hope everyone had a nice Friday!

Good night.

Day 28.

Uke practice! I didn’t fall asleep until late because I really just wanted to play already. It’s so much fun. I have learned a few chords and the finger exercises are helping me tremendously. I use the Fender Play app which is free for 3 months. And so many helpful videos on YouTube! 🙂

Cheeseburgers for lunch! Always delicious. My drink was sparkling strawberry water + black currant Ribena. Yay!!

I took a nap. And I just woke up. 😱 Might practice some more. I’m trying to learn I’m Yours, one of my favorite songs.

I’m also watching Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist at night. It’s a good show. Check it out on Hulu.

That was my day. Hope your Thursday went well!

Good night.

Day 25.

Lots of sleep. I watched Kim’s Convenience. I’m in the middle of s4. So good!

I’m planning to watch Isn’t It Romantic. The movie was recommended by my sister. She said it was really good. Rebel Wilson is funny too.

I’ll be much more productive when my uke arrives. Just a few more days! I’m super excited.

Anyway, hope y’all had a nice Monday. Good night! ❤️

Day 23.

I slept a lot. That doesn’t change. Lol. But I did switch things up today. I decided to practice some yoga. I haven’t done it in months so the first session after a while is always the hardest. Proud to say I survived! I had to slow down in the middle of my practice, but I was able to complete the 30 minutes! I also did some more stretching and my core exercises. Progress. ☺️💪🏼

Watched another episode of Kim’s Convenience. It’s so funny! Watched The Social Network before bed too. It gave me a lot of new insight. My mind was blown. Trust is at the center of everything. You don’t have that, you have nothing.

I’m glad I’ve been blogging since the shelter in place. I feel like I’m growing throughout this process. It hasn’t been easy, but it’s all about perspective. I’m very blessed and fortunate. Sometimes I don’t always see that. I can be stubborn. I’m thankful for my family even when we don’t always see eye to eye. It’s all about communication and understanding. Patience most definitely too.

I’d like to finally watch Onward tonight. I hear it’s a good movie.

I’m gonna call it a night. Hope you all had a nice Saturday! It’s raining over here, but it’s peaceful. Later!
