It's fairly obvious I haven't been active on this blog in a very long time and I wanted to come back share with you, who ever still follows this outlet, a bit of a life overdue life update!
Life
Wow, such much has happened over the past year. I turned 30 back in February and was able to celebrate with my family. We went to a hibachi restaurant and had a blast! My husband and I also got involved with a political campaign and we did some door-to-door petitioning and canvassing! We did that in our local area as well as in Massachusetts and New Hampshire during the months of February and early March. I can say now that we volunteered for the Sanders campaign but as time will tell he suspended his campaign after Super Tuesday. It was an amazing experience and I will continue to do more volunteer work int he future! We were supposed to go on vacation back in May to Ireland to celebrate my birthday however we had to also cancel that trip due to the pandemic.
Now onto some very sad news. In March, my grandmother lost her battle to liver cancer. It seemed to happen so quickly looking back and we still have not had a funeral or any services due to the pandemic. I miss her everyday as we were extremely close.
Work
I am still working my 9-5 job as a business analyst and we have been working from home since mid-March. We also just found out we will be working remotely until at least January 2021. My little home office has been slowly coming together and I now have an excuse to maybe get a new desk since I still have my old Ikea desk for many years ago.
School
I started my masters degree over two years ago and finally this fall I will be finishing my degree program. I plan to share more about my experience working a full-time job and going to graduate school at the same time but I am so excited to my taking my final classes this fall!
Other Things
-Animal Crossing: I started playing
Animal Crossing a lot when it was released back in March during the pandemic because there wasn't much else to do and I found it an easy way to relax and the end of the day or during my lunch break!
-Netflix/Disney+/Amazon Prime: I recently finished watching Selling Sunset on Netflix and I loved it because the homes they sell are an absolute dream! I also watched all the episodes of Better Call Saul on Netflix and all I can say is wow! That show is special and the acting is top notch! I got to see the traveling show of Hamilton last summer and had to see the Hamilton special when it was released on Disney+!
-Workouts: Since all the gyms have been closed, I have been doing lots of home workouts. I went back to my tried and true Beachbody on demand workouts and they have been great. Most of the programs are 30 minute quick workouts which you can do anytime, anywhere. I look forward to being to go back to the gym once it reopens to hopefully do some social distancing classes or individual sessions.
-
YouTube: I have still been very active posting youtube videos and my channel saw a lot of attention over the summer!
-
Twitch: I started a Twitch channel! I don't think I shared it on here but I really enjoy playing videos games in my spare time to relax! I usually stream 1-2 times a week, mainly on Fridays and sometimes other days!
Well, I think that is everything for now. I hope you all enjoyed catching up with me and I hope to be able to share more content on here soon!
