Day 140.

Happy Thursday! It’s almost the weekend. 😎

I was able to buy the Colourpop Sailor Moon eyeshadow palette. The blushes were in my cart, but I didn’t check out fast enough and they sold out. I hope there’s another restock. I was a bit frustrated with the process tbqh. I wasn’t alone in feeling that. The collection was released at 10am PDT. I entered the contest on IG, Twitter, and FB for a chance to win the entire collection. So maybe there’s luck on my side. 🙂

I stayed up watching the first season of Ashley Garcia: Genius in Love. It’s such a cute show and the cast is really good. I might start Part 2 tonight.

It’s been a busy, but productive week! I’ve got some things to prep for the potential after school enrichment courses I might be teaching in the Fall. Must brainstorm! It’s different from what I typically take care of at work, but it’s a nice way to share my passions with the community. 🙂 It was nice catching up with the boss.

I also caught up with my therapist on the phone after three weeks. It’s great to just talk and get her perspective.

Listened to some of the Giants game on the radio. Watched a bit of the Clippers/Lakers game too. Basketball is back!

There’s a lot to do these next upcoming weeks, but I’m looking forward to the change. Yay!

Animal Crossing update: Bought another painting from Redd. I check online to make sure it’s authentic. It was! Finally caught the gigas giant clam. It was challenging to get. It took me a few tries. I donated it to my island’s museum!

Uke update: I’m playing Somewhere Over The Rainbow with less errors. This is huge! I even recorded audio of me playing this afternoon. I sound good. When I’m really comfortable I’ll shoot a video to share with friends and family.

A&W rules btw! I love their Coney Cheese dog and curds.

Well, that was my day. Hope yours went well! Take care always.

Good night.

Day 135.

Today was a good day. Giants with the W in LA! 😀 Go Giants!!!

Animal Crossing update: 2nd Bug-Off event! I did pretty well for myself. I redeemed my points and got an artisanal bug cage, ladybug rug, and ladybug umbrella. I fixed up part of my island and started to work with my flowers. It’ll take a while until everything is organized. Progress.

We watched Unsolved Mysteries on Netflix. It was a really good episode. I also watched more Indian Matchmaking. It’s only 8 episodes. I’m on e5. I’m invested.

I’m brainstorming at the moment for some room upgrades: desk, more storage, and a dresser. I’m finalizing which pieces I want. I’m on a budget, but so far I think I’m doing pretty well. I’m excited for the new changes especially if I need to WFH come Autumn. I’m planning to start my certification course for TEFL. It’s a good alternative and I hope I enjoy it.

Food consumption today: chicken katsu plate + boba. It’s a combo I haven’t had in a while. Time to save $. It’s so easy to order delivery, but I like cooking and baking a lot. Just didn’t have the energy and time.

It’ll be a busy day tomorrow, but I’m looking forward to it especially my video chat with my college friend.

Dating apps are daunting, but I’m sticking with it. We’ll see. LOL. Played my uke to de-stress.

Hope everyone had a nice Saturday. Take care!

Good night.

Day 132.

I’m going to keep it short and simple tonight. Hope everyone had a nice Wednesday! 🧡

  • Woke up at a decent time. Watched a few Glee episodes. I’m almost done with s1! 🙂
  • Took a nap because I still felt tired.
  • Made myself a 🌭 for National Hot Dog Day. Woo!
  • Washed the dishes.
  • Played my uke. I needed the music.
  • Had tacos for dinner.
  • Played some Animal Crossing. Got a new DIY recipe from Pascal. New villager moved in. Yay!
  • Created another dating profile. Trying to be patient with myself and this process.
  • Caught up with the BFFs via text.
  • Took another nap. I just woke up.
  • Now it’s time to really call it a night. May sneak in another Glee epi.

Take care everyone!

Good night.

Day 131.

It’s Tuesday. Hurrah! I had a fairly decent day. I slept in again, but that’s my norm.

I wanted to exercise today, but I will finally do that again tomorrow. I’ve been very inconsistent, but that’s okay. I will not beat myself up over it.

Shy me is on a dating app. Dating in person gives me anxiety so it’s about the same online. I’m stepping out of my comfort zone and there’s no time like to present to talk to new people especially during SIP.

Animal Crossing update: Pascal gifted me a mermaid princess dress. I love it! Celeste is currently on my island. I’ll have to look for shooting stars tonight.

Giants are 2-0 this preseason! They’re off to LA for the start of the regular season. Go Giants!!! 🖤🧡

I ate a mix of junk and healthy food today. I’m done consuming junk for the night. I hope to be more productive tomorrow. I watched a lot of Glee episodes and caught up with friends via text tonight. ❤️ I also played my uke again. 🙂

Hope y’all had a nice day. Take care!

Good night.

Day 125.

It was a rest day for me. Riding the bike yesterday took me out. Luckily I completed my stand goal. I fell asleep for a few hours.

Animal Crossing update: I’m trying to design a top. It’s taking me a while to get used to the grid. Patience. Everything’s a trial run. Pascal finally showed up and I got a pearl! He hasn’t been around for two days. My AC crew neck arrived today. I love it! The color reminds me of Cinderella.

Highlight of my day was finally getting Shake Shack. Every time we wanted to order it either just closed or they weren’t taking deliveries. I went with their Shack Stack – a cheeseburger patty with a ‘Shroom burger and the fixings. So good! My boss recommended it to me. No wonder he loves it.

I stayed up watching Glee. I also caught up with my BFFs via text. We exchanged messages for almost an hour. Good times.

I need to play my uke. I didn’t get to practice yesterday. That was my Wednesday. I hope y’all had a good one. Take care!

Good night.

Day 122.

Happy Sunday! 🙂

I spent the day watching Supermarket Sweep, playing Animal Crossing, and had a jam session with my uke. I’m getting more comfortable with switching chords. Yay!

We were invited to a small gathering, but had to politely decline due to the pandemic. I hope everyone had a great time. We miss our friends! ❤️

I bought an AC cap of Celeste. She’s one of my favorite characters. There’s a crew neck I’m looking at on Etsy too. It’s nice that they’re located in California so if I move forward with the purchase I won’t have to wait too long.

I went on the exercise bike for 10 minutes. I call it a victory! I’ve gotta monitor my heart rate. If it’s too high, I slow down or I take a quick break. Having chronic conditions have been tough, but I’m tougher. I’ll always be resilient!

The treat of the day for the fam was ordering matcha drinks and soft serve. I missed it so much! 😋🍦🍵

Well, I hope y’all had a nice one. Take care!

Good night.

Day 120.

TGIF! This week was hard, but I made it. I hope I’ll get to relax and chill out this weekend. I’ve got plans to clean. 😎

I stayed up watching The Sinner. The ending of s1 was so good. I know s3 just ended. Probably won’t be on Netflix until the Fall or Winter. Might start watching Glee again. The first time around I only watched half of s1.

Animal Crossing update: Pascal gave me a pearl. Canberra is leaving my island. Time to find a new villager! Haven’t used any NMT in a week or so. I’ve gotta move some buildings around too. Flowers are outta control. Lol.

My new face masks and skincare products arrived today! I’m embracing the aging process, but it’s important to take care of your skin. I ordered some new sunscreen too. I hope I like it.

We just made cupcakes! I had two. I might have another. Haha. I may watch Sleepless in Seattle before bed tonight.

Gonna play a bit of my uke. I need to practice.

Hope y’all had a nice Friday. Take care!

Good night.

Day 118.

Today was alright. My day’s have been better. There are a bunch of things bothering me at the moment, but I shall vent & save that for another day.

We had Indian food for lunch. Always delicious! I also bought mango lassi for everyone. It’s so refreshing.

Highlight of the day: I got to catch up with my grandma on the phone. It was brief, but I’m glad she’s doing okay. She just wanted to say hello. I love you, Lola! ❤️

Animal Crossing update: I have another piece of art to add to my museum. It’s Venus de Milo! Thanks, Redd. And Pascal gave me mermaid flooring today. Good progress!

My medication wasn’t delivered today. I was expecting it in the afternoon. Hopefully it gets to me tomorrow. I really need it. 😬

One of my other masks came in today too. I’ll try it on tomorrow. Gotta practice my uke in a bit.

That was my Wednesday. Hope yours went well. Take care!

Good night.

Day 117.

I’m still wearing a mask around the house. It’s a small inconvenience, but I can deal. I want to make sure my family is safe. I’m doing my part. I think I mentioned this a few days ago. Just repeating it again.

The Sinner kept me up. Found out I just watched s2. Lol. I’ll watch s1 soon. 🙃 Netflix kinda messed up the descriptions. All good though. More Bill Pullman. 🥰

I spent most of my day indoors. I’m making steady progress on Animal Crossing. Pascal gave me a mermaid dress in exchange for a scallop! Win. I’m expecting a DIY recipe soon.

I went outside for a bit with the fam and our dogs. We took in some sunshine in the backyard. It was nice. The dogs enjoyed it.

I’m going to play my uke shortly. It’s been calming the last few times I’ve played. I’ve been a bit uneasy as of late. I hope I get a good night’s sleep. Hasn’t happened in a while.

Lastly, I just wanted to greet my dear friend Brea a very Happy Birthday! 💕 Wish we could celebrate. But I hope your day was splendid.

Hope y’all had a nice Tuesday. Take care!

Good night.

Day 116.

Happy Monday! Still feeling meh. I did get to fold some laundry and put my belongings away. Yay! I also placed my next shipment of medication. Last week I was told that I was too early to call. That hasn’t happened before. Good thing I remembered to get in touch.

I played a lot of Animal Crossing today. I almost had the scorpion. I got stung again. 😞 I’ll catch my first one eventually. I hope it’s soon. Celeste’s on my island. So many shooting stars. And today is Mira’s birthday. Happy Birthday, Mira! 💛

I started The Sinner. Pretty good so far. I’ll watch the next episode before bed.

I’ll play a little uke tonight too. I wanna learn more songs.

I’m feeling tired again. Might have to disconnect for an hour or so. My screen time usage went up because of all the movies I’ve been watching. I rewatched Casper before I slept. One of my faves growing up!

Anyway, I shall go. Hope y’all had a good one. Take care!

Good night.
