This weekend I was on a walk through the neighborhood and saw this chalk drawn by one of our neighbors! There is often art on our sidewalk, sometimes it's dragons or mazes, but this one had a particularly relatable message (caption: embrace the existential dread) ...
This weekend I got to play in Mystery Hunt with left out! I had a ton of fun talking and puzzling with the team. The hunt was virtual, but the team that ran it did an amazing job! We took photos for a scavenger hunt around our neighborhood, using objects like a bunk bed and bubble tea.
This weekend I didn't do much, but I recently started playing a new video game! It's called Genshin Impact. My favorite pastime is exploring the cities. It's also fun to talk about it with some of my friends online!
This weekend was my dad's birthday! In honor of this occasion, we went to Golden Gate Park and saw some art installations that were put up for the holidays. This one shows us at Entwined, a light exhibit.
This week I got to see my family virtually to celebrate the holidays! We made three different calls to get in touch with family. I'm glad that everyone seems to be doing well, and I hope that next year we'll be able to see each other in person again and give each other lots of hugs.
This weekend I went shopping for our christmas tree! We're a little bit late this year but we were able to find a good tree at a lot and take it home. It isn't decorated yet, but that'll be a project for another day! At the lot they had some trees that were interesting colors - I especially liked the purple ones.
This weekend I put up the holiday decorations around our house, including our wreath and the flowers! Some of my favorites were the cards that we've gotten from friends and family.
This weekend I got to play Animal Crossing with the Nickels! I loved visiting their islands and seeing what their characters look like. Emma's holiday room was one of my favorites! Emma is at the left side of the table, and I'm on the right.
This week I got to celebrate Thanksgiving with two different family groups! In the morning I saw the Nickels virtually, and we made some holiday cocktails. For a socially distant thanksgiving lunch, I got to see Aunt Stephanie and Uncle Christian! I had a lot of fun at both gatherings.
This weekend was the start of Thanksgiving Break. Since I'm staying at home, I figured it would be fun to take a walk through Golden Gate Park and see what the trees look like! For the most part they're evergreens, but I like all of them anyway.
This weekend I learned how to play Settlers of Catan with my family! It took a while to figure out how to set it up, but I had fun establishing a sheep farm!
This weekend we finally got the results of the presidential election! It was really inspiring to see the speeches that were made and how the crowd was able to stay enthusiastic and energetic despite mask protocols.
This weekend I went door to door doing reverse trick-or-treating! I didn't have a full costume, but I had a lot of fun dropping off candy in my blue wig! It's a little odd with my eyebrows ...
This weekend I was excited to see my old friend back in our neighborhood! Fall is my favorite season, and it's exciting to see that it still has all the usual charm.
This weekend I went out on a trip to get ice cream from Hometown Creamery! They have some of my favorite flavors, including my all time favorite, an earl grey ice cream. The ginger pear sorbet did not disappoint!
