Monthly Wrap-Up: August 2020



It's been a tough month. In July we found out my grandmother had cancer and a couple of weeks ago we went to go see her down in California. She's not doing great but she has her good days. It was really good to see her and the rest of my family down there. We don't get to see them very often just because we're all the way up in Washington. Plus, it was nice to just be around people. I haven't seen my extended family that lives here near me in MONTHS. Me being super antisocial, I thought I was okay with being in lockdown, that I was made for this. But man, this past month it made me realize that I'm not. I miss interacting with people and going to the store without fear hanging over my head that I might catch something. Speaking of that, traveling down to California, I was terrified. It is definitely not an ideal time to be traveling right now, and if it wasn't a family emergency, I wouldn't have even gone. It's about a 16 hour drive and even though we made as few stops as possible and were safe and wore masks and used sanitizer and did everything we were supposed to, it did not lessen my fear of traveling. All of my family down there is being extra safe what with my grandmother being on chemo and being immunocompromised, so that gave me peace of mind. And luckily we made it down there and back without issue.

Besides that though... I'm still addicted to Animal Crossing lol, AND I just changed up the design on my blog! Idk, I felt like I wanted a change so one morning I just woke up and tweaked things a bit. I like it!
