Day 45.

Happy Sunday! It’s a new week. 🙂

Animal Crossing is taking over my life. I was gifted a jukebox in the game today. Woo! I’m still trying to collect all the iron nuggets to finish building the shop. It’s taking some time on my part.

We ordered Super Duper for linner. We didn’t get a chance to prepare anything. Our essentials are dwindling so we’ll likely make a quick shopping trip later this week. I honestly believe our shelter in place will be extended here in California and I’m okay with that.

I’m getting frustrated playing games with my family. I haven’t won a game of scene it. We just started trivial pursuit. I’m also winless in that. My chance will come. I’m trying. Sigh.

I gotta practice a bit more on the uke. I’m getting better with the chord changes for Let It Be. G, you will be mastered!!

That was my Sunday. It was decent. Hope y’all had a good day too!

Good night and take care.

Day 44.

I had a good night’s sleep. I haven’t been able to say that in a while. And I fell asleep before 3am! 🙂

I woke up at a decent time and decided to play Animal Crossing. I found more iron nuggets, planted new fruits, and the museum is currently being built. I look forward to playing again tomorrow.

We watched The Longest Ride. It was pretty good. I didn’t expect the storyline. 7/10.

I took a nap and overslept but it happens. Dinner was ready when I woke up. Thanks, sister!

Practiced my uke and exercised. I haven’t done that in a while. Hoping to get back on track.

That was my Saturday. And Joe Staley retired. Thanks for the memories! We’ll miss you. ❤️💛

Good night.

Day 42.

I was anxious before bed. So I woke up groggy and irritated. Lol. I mean I slept for 4 hours. 😬 I’m proud to say I didn’t nap today. Animal Crossing kept me busy for most of the day.

Lola (grandma) called us. It was nice to hear her voice. She’s doing well. I always pray for her. I miss her a lot! I haven’t seen her since the beginning of March for bday celebrations before the shelter in place. 😞

British snacks arrived today! It totally made my day. My extra order of French lavender hand sanitizer came in as well. Great package day! 🙂

I got to watch part of the 2020 NFL Draft! Exciting times. Welcome to the Niners, Javon Kinlaw & Brandon Aiyuk! ❤️💛

Practiced chucking some more. I think I’m getting the hang of it. I’m really focusing on my strumming. Learning the chords are simple in my case. I’m trying to find my rhythm. 🙃

Overall I had a nice Thursday. No complaints. Can’t believe it’s almost the weekend.

Well, good night!

Day 40.

I’ve been tired today, but I made it! Animal Crossing is officially here! I haven’t played before so I’m learning a lot. 😄 It’s fun.

Sister made a small grocery run. Thank you for doing that! I miss going out, but city and state orders. We can do this!! ❤️

Watched a few episodes of Even Stevens with the sisters. Reminds me a lot of when we were growing up. Simpler days.

Uke practice was a little frustrating today. I’m hoping to find my strumming rhythm but I’ve been struggling. For whatever reason I freeze up during a song. And then I get thrown off completely. Doing my best to be patient with myself. Small progress is still progress.

Not much else to share, but overall today was a good day. Thankful for everyone no matter how big or small a role they play in my life. I’m extremely blessed.

Hope you all had a nice Tuesday! Take care.

Good night.

Day 35.

Sleeping in is the best. As I’ve said again and again – rest is important. 🥰

I had cereal for brunch. Corn Pops reminds me of my childhood. I also had Cocoa Puffs. The best! I really miss Kix and Life cereal. Maybe our next order we’ll list those down.

We watched The Simpsons. The early seasons are gold. Homer always makes us laugh! I want to return to Universal Studios just to visit Springfield again.

I decided to sort through my laundry. I’ll be doing a few loads this weekend. I recycled old college papers and trashed some items that I no longer use. I feel lighter. I’m hoping to tackle my closet tomorrow or Saturday. I’m doing my best to be more of a minimalist.

Afterwards I practiced my uke before dinner. I can’t believe it’s day 8! I’m still struggling with the G chord, but I’m improving overall. I’m paying attention to how I’m strumming too. Practice makes progress!

I had a very pleasant day. I’m hoping to sleep a little earlier tonight, but first ice cream. Lastly, I finally opened my happy mail from Rarity. I love my bow bands! Thank you so much, Casey. 🥰 It’s the perfect accessory for any outfit.

I hope Thursday was a good day for everyone. By the way, Happy 49th Birthday to the queen of Tejano music, Selena Quintanilla-Perez! 💜

Good night.

Day 33.

Happy Tuesday! I slept better compared to the other days. I ended up rewatching Four Weddings And A Funeral the series on Hulu. I love the show!

I ate multiple meals. That hasn’t happened in a few weeks. Proud of myself! ☺️ I did snack on chips. I’ve missed it. Now I want Pringles. Lol. Hopefully we can place a grocery delivery in the next few days. There are no openings at the moment. 😬

Played Katamari Damacy! Fond memories of it in 2004. Such a simple and cool game. I love the music and the graphics. This is why I want to visit Japan. Hopefully soon.

I washed dishes before taking a nap. It’s my favorite chore! I’ll do that over anything else.

Had a tele-therapy appointment in the evening. It was nice to catch up with my therapist. She’s super supportive. It’s needed right now especially during the shelter in place.

Practiced my uke with Bianca. I’m gaining confidence with chords and transitions. Day 6 of practice. I hope I can sing along soon. Just gotta carry a tune. Haha.

I miss sports! We might not see it return until the end of the year. Sigh. Better to keep everyone safe!

Proud to be a Californian! Be safe and be well. 💕

Good night.

Day 32.

Our dog wasn’t feeling well before we slept. So that caused me to not sleep. At all. Until 9am. 🙃 I slept for about 5 hours and then I got up. I’m hoping for a better night’s sleep tonight.

I finally made dalgona coffee today. I whisked it by hand for about 10 minutes. It was a nice consistency. I added a little more sugar because it was too bitter. It mixed well with regular milk.

Day 5 of uke practice. I learned to strum. That’s going to take some getting used to. I also practiced Let It Be again. I want to get it down! That’s the song I want to play for my family and friends. I’m looking forward to practice every day.

Our Aunt was discharged from the hospital today. She’ll be in quarantine at home for the next two weeks. I just hope our grandma will be okay. Sighhh. Prayers please.

It’s a new week. I’m planning to rest a lot. But I’m also trying to organize my closet. We’ll see how that goes.

Hope you all had a nice Monday.

Good night.

Day 29.

Happy Friday! We made it to another week. Cheers to the weekend. I hope you’re all keeping busy. And even if you aren’t, that’s okay too. We’re allowed to rest. ❤️

I couldn’t fall asleep on time so I stayed up. There’s something about seeing the sunrise. It’s comforting. Darkness to light. I eventually knocked out and slept in. I decided to do a small load of laundry today and then practiced my uke. I really just want to play a song already, but I must be patient. Everything I’m learning now sets the foundation. I’ll get there.

I got to catch up with my coworkers via text. Nice to hear from them. Good news all around which is great. And Happy Birthday, Marc!! 🥳

I was able to step out for a bit on the deck and take in some fresh air. I miss the breeze. The sky was so pretty.

British goodies are my comfort food right now. All the crisps, candy, chocolate, and cookies. 😋 I miss London!

That’s my Friday. Off to watch Kim’s Convenience. Take care everyone! I miss our Lola (grandma) btw. I hope she’s doing alright.

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.
