Day in the Life of Sara

March 31, 2020 Hello everyone, I hope everyone had a great day.I started my day today at 12:00 pm, I got ready for the day, grabbed a granola bar and headed to my room (it was now 1:20). Today was the first day of Spring quarter, this meant from 1:30-5:40 I was attending Zoom meetings. They were awfully boring and one of my professors made it mandatory for us to turn on our video chat, which sucked. Once I finished with my classes I finally left my room and was able to help my parents paint our house, we did not finish today sadly so this means tomorrow is another day of painting...and school -___-. Before we finished painting I ordered Dominos contactless delivery. My mom and I finished painting the hallway when the pizza arrived, we then cleaned the table and got plates ready. After we ate we cleaned up all the supplies used for painting and finally relaxed. I received my toothbrush organizer in the mail and thought this was a good time to install this in our bathroom mirror cabinet. The installation was actually pretty easy, however making the toothpaste come out was the hard part. After a few pushes the toothpaste was beginning to ooze. Ill insert a picture of the toothbrush organizer and amazon link. While I was installing Benjamin came over, we finished installing the organizer grabbed our laptops and headed to the couch. We started doing some homework and are now just chilling and...you guess it Game show Network. We are  probably going to call it a night for tonight. For those of you who’ve made it this far, thank you. Toothbrush Holder See you tomorrow, Sara

Hello everyone, as you may all know today marks a week of being quarantined! I can't believe I've been stuck at home for a whole week, who else is already going crazy? Today was much like any other. I started my day off at 11:00 pm,I got ready for the day then had breakfast with my mom and dad, which consisted of jello and tea...I wasn’t feelin breakfast today.  Once I finished breakfast I helped my dad reset his laptop and then proceeded to clean the dining table and sweep the whole house. After I finished helping my mom clean the house I moved to my room and began to make my bed and clean the windows and walls. I finished at around 3:00 pm and was ready to get started with my day. Since my dad had already let the chickens out I sat down with. my mom and began online shopping for some shoes at Macy's (they were having a sale and we couldn't resist). While we shopped my dad was making dinner which consisted of steak, white rice, and steamed vegetables. We finished shopping and had dinner (today I realized i'm not a big fan of steak).After we finished I thought I should get started on finishing my school work early, so I grabbed my laptop once again and logged on to canvas. I am not officially two weeks ahead in Bio and a whole week ahead in Stats. Unfortunately I was unable to get started on my Chem homework because our professor has yet to post any assignments or files other than the syllabus -___-. While working on my homework benjamin came to drop off some batteries I had ordered for a remote, turns out he brought me the wrong batteries and mine don't get here until thursday, which is a bummer. I finished up my school work and we sat down to watch The Game Show Network...can you tell I love watching game shows? by this time it was 10:00 pm and Benjamin was heading out. I noticed I had forgot to do some more school work so I finished up some Bio work when I realized I had forgotten to write my blog! Don’t worry better late than never. Thought I'd update you on the chickens when my dad went to put the chickens away he noticed all the chickens had gone into their beds by themselves! For those of you who’ve made it this far, Thank you.

See you tomorrow,

Hello Everyone, I am writing this blog a tad late tonight since I got caught up getting started on my spring quarter homework. Today was an average Sunday minus the family gathering. Usually every Sunday all of my brothers and sisters (4 brothers 2 sisters...yes its alot) and their families come over and we spend time together. Today I started my day around 12:00 pm and had a cup of hot apple cider with my parents at the table. After we finished I submitted my hours worked on the unemployment claim, it was processed! Once I finished that it was about 2:00 pm, I went to my room and began cleaning and making my bed while facetiming Benjamin of course. Once I finished I showered and got ready for the day...this just means I put on a different pair of jammies, by this time it was already 5:30 pm. When I got out I went into my moms room and we watched "Pequenos Gigantes" which is like a mexican version of "American Idol" with no buzzards or tickets and the contestants are all kids. We watched this show for about four hours until we realized it was 9:30 pm. While watching I spent some time online shopping for absolutely useless things of course. In the middle of the show benjamin brought me starbucks which I was very happy about! When I left my moms room I made my way into the living room to get started early on my spring quarter assignments while watching some Game Show Network. As of right now I'm about three assignments ahead in all my courses which is good, by. doing this I hope to finish my course early so I don't have to worry about it later. I will probably get started on two more assignments and call it a night. For those of you who made it this far, thank you.

See you tomorrow,

Hello, I hope I hope everyone is happy and healthy. Today was an exciting day, It was my dad’s 58th birthday. Due to the quarantine I had texted all of my brothers and sisters yesterday so they could create a zoom account in order for us to all sing him happy birthday. I started my day at 11:00 am and I got ready for the day. Once I finished I began baking a cake for my dad (it was a strawberry box cake). While the cake was in the oven I helped my mom clean by sweeping the kitchen, living room and dining room. I then moved to my room, made my bed and put my dirty laundry in the hamper downstairs. By this time, I was sure the cake was ready... It was not. So instead, I went outside to feed the chickens and let them out for the day (unfortunately I could not get a picture of Nala, sorry to disappoint). When I got in the house, I had a late breakfast with my mom and dad, who just got home from work. When I finished, I took the cake out of the oven, it was not ready. I allowed it to cool for 20 minutes and continued to put the icing on. At this time, my dad was in the shower, so I was getting everyone connected on Zoom. Once connected I placed my laptop on the table, and brought out his cake. We proceeded to sing him happy birthday, and watch him open presents. After everyone logged off, we got to play loteria (similar to a Mexican version of bingo). After an hour we decided to call it quits, and Benjamin and I hung out on the couch with our laptops. Today, my dad was feeling generous and he out the chickens in their bed... This saved me multiple chicken pecks, which I was very happy about. Benjamin and I are currently watching the Game Show Network, as we type this blog. This my friends will conclude the blog for today. For those of you who made it this far, thank you.

See you tomorrow,

Today has been a quite eventful day. I was up by 12:00 pm and ready to start my day, my mom had woken me up asking me if I was going to have breakfast with her and my dad. I said yes, we had left over albondigas from yesterday and my mom had made some ginger and cinnamon tea. As we were having breakfast I was preparing a mental to do list in my head. First was helping my mom clean the house and clean my room/ make my bed (it's 7:37 while i'm writing this and my bed is still not made...oops), I did go ahead and fix up the couches in the living room and sweeped my room and put away and clean laundry I had. Second thing to do on my list was figure out how to open a savings account through the bank app I use, Turns out it was a simple application them boom! I was transferring money into it not 15 minutes later. Now that I got the two most important tasks out the way my mom and I sat at the table trying to figure out what to get my dad for his birthday (which is tomorrow). I ended up getting him a Levis flannel coat from amazon and my mom wanted to get him the wine he has been wanting. So, I took it upon myself to get myself physically and mentally prepared to go to target. I had my rubber gloves, keys, wallet, and phone and was on my way (mind you this was the first time going into a public crowd in two weeks, other than the empty post office yesterday). When I got there I grabbed everything I needed including the mine my mom asked for, cake mix and frosting to make my dad a cake, chips to snack on, and mentos for my mom. I was in and out in about 15 minutes tops! Once I got home I wiped all the groceries with cavi wipes and brought them inside.I clean and sprayed my shoes with lysol, quickly put my clothes downstairs in the dirty hamper and took a shower. Once I got out I played the "the toilet is smoking" prank on my dad and then heard a knock on the door. No need to worry it was only Benjamin. Benjamin, Simba(my 7 yr old Chihuahua Pug), and I went outside to go feed the chickens. Simba of course just ran back and forth terrorizing them. It is currently 7:55 pm and we are currently at the dining table waiting for the tacos to be done, I am going to let the chickens in and have dinner with benjamin (only took me 10 to wrangle the chickens in). Looks like I will be ending my night early tonight with some netflix and street tacos! If you made it this far thank you.

Below is a picture of the chickens light bathing,couldn’t get a good picture of Nala, but I will try again tomorrow. Hope you enjoy!

See you tomorrow,

Hello everyone, I hope you all are staying sane and healthy during this quarantine. Today was like any other. I began my day at 12:00 pm and had a late breakfast/lunch with my mom, I ate a pepperoni hot pocket while my mom finished her coffee. After I ate I went  and got ready for the day. First thing on my list was no other than letting the chickens out and feedings them (yes I will finally include a photo of them), Once this was complete I sat at our dinner table talking to my mom. By now it was around 2:00 pm, at this moment I was experiencing the worst stomach cramps, so I took some meds, layed in bed while I shopped online a bit (lately I have been shopping on ROMWE because have you seen their prices?! I'll insert pictures of my purchases and reviews once my shipment arrives) and took a nap. I woke up at 5:00 pm...refreshed I might add. At this time I noticed I forgot to send out my hoodie someone bought from me on poshmark so I got myself out of bed, printed my shipping label, grabbed my hoodie and went to pick up Benjamin. We got to the post office shipped my hoodie and I took him home. Once I got home I ate some meatball soup my momma made (meatballs were made by hand) and  this soup S L A P P E D. I grabbed my laptop and thought I would look at my unemployment status, I got approved! Once I finished eating I grabbed some chips and my laptop and moved to the living room. It is now 8:30 pm,  and the chickens are in their bed thanks to my dad. I am ending this blog early and will most likely end my night online shopping and watching netflix (if anyone has any recommendations feel free to comment). Here we are end of day 3, for those of you who’ve made it this far thank you.

Below Is a picture of some of our chickens, tomorrow I will attempt to take a picture of mine (her name is Nala). Hope you enjoy!

See you tomorrow,

Hello everyone, Today marks day 2 of quarantine and i'm already tired of it. I had a zoom meeting today at 11:00 am with my school adviser to discuss my course options for spring quarter (which will be fully online starting March 30th!!). I got all my classes signed up and thought...why not continue to be productive? I then completed my application for standby unemployment(I suggest doing it online to save time). Once i finished my application I knew I had to keep going so I finished my taxes on turbotax (yeno those memes that mention getting a $15,000 tax return when doing taxes on your own? Okay so mine was the complete opposite, someone explain to me how I went from receiving $800 to having to pay $3000?!). Once I fixed and submitted my taxes it was around 2:00 pm, so I had a late breakfast. I had eggs with agua de jamaica. Once I finished my breakfast I thought might as well get my day started; I made my bed, put away some laundry, then ate enchiladas with my two nephews and niece. Once I finished eating I took a shower and thought "Damn my legs are hella hairy," so I waxed those suckers (a process long overdue). When waxing my legs I use the Veet wax strips, but for the best result I use baby powder to ensure my legs are dry in order to get a good stick. It was now 6:00 pm and benjamin was coming over (with food I might add ;P). Before I ate the plate of rice and beans ben brought I had to complete the task I dreaded the most...yes putting the chickens back in their beds. 15 minutes and 5 chicken bites later I was done. I ate the food benjamin brought and to be completely honest it SLAPPED. I am currently finishing this blog up early tonight so Benjamin and I can end our night playing a mean game of minecraft lol. If you made it this far thank you.

See you tomorrow,

As many of you may know the stay at home order has officially been placed on Washington state. With that being said i've taken it upon myself to document my experience during these difficult times. Today I woke up at 2:00... yes in the afternoon, As my mom yelled "Breakfasts is over" on the top of her lungs. After I got myself up and ready I had a late breakfast/lunch. This consisted of sopa de papa y salchicha. Once I finished I noticed I had a package waiting for me on the dinner table, yes it was from amazon. I had purchased a pink wireless mouse for my laptop in order to play minecraft with ease. Due to the coronavirus i've been wiping all mail and anything coming into the house with cavi wipes I purchased from Amazon (they're like lysol wipes on crack). While putting away my mouse I noticed I had accumulated a humongous pile of clean laundry that needed to be put away, but before I started cleaning my room I had to tend to the Chickens. When I got to the chickens I had to let them out of their beds and into the bottom floor of the coupe. As I was walking out I noticed they did not have any food or water. My mom and I then fed them leftover red rice and bananas from the day before and freshwater. For those wondering we have 18 chickens one of which is a rooster. Once I got back inside I began to put away my laundry and clean my room. Halfway through I noticed I had lots of clothes I still needed to post of my poshmark (an online personal store where you can sell new and used items). When I finished posting my clothes I proceeded to put away laundry and make my bed. Mind you it was now 6:30pm... better late than never :). Once I finished my mom, niece, and I began to make the infamous Tick Tock coffee (I would not recommend). In the midst of the coffee making I noticed it was 7:30 and the chickens needed to be put back in their rooms, it only took 20 minutes -__-. once this was done I hurried to get dressed as my boyfriend (benjamin) was at my house to pick me up. I am currently at his house writing this blog and this my friends is the end of today. For those of you who made it this far, thank you.

See you tomorrow,
