How is everyone doing with this crazy life we are all living right now?!
My answer: I am STRUGGLING! You know don't get me wrong, I am a strong introvert when it comes to my social life. I rarely leave my house other than for work, school or exercise. But man, when I say I have a strong urge to go somewhere, it's strong! I am quickly running out of things to do. My sleep schedule is messed up. AND I can't STOP baking!
Let me elaborate: In the past week and a half, I have baked 3 cakes, a batch of muffins, and cooked dinner at 4 pm for the past 4 nights. I have also made 4 batches of Snickers Frappuccinos, which means caffeine, which also means, I don't go to sleep until 4 am.
My family and I are on edge, as my dad is an essential employee so he's still out in the crowds, which lead my mom to essentially bathing him in Lysol every time he walks through the door. He is not allowed to go anywhere in our house until he takes a shower. Attitudes are flying everywhere, between the people, the cats, and the dogs, there's no escape. Or as Dory says, "Es-cap-eeee".
I apologize, that was a bad joke, but it accurately depicts my mindset right now. But don't worry my wonderfully whimsical classmates/ professor, I will be fine!
However, on a more serious note, my depression and anxiety have heightened a lot throughout the past weeks. The uncertainty and loneliness I have been experiencing is the bane of my existence. I get so frustrated because I see people just running around with no care, and I just want people to follow the guidelines so the curve can flatten and we can have a nice summer. I am ready to go Kayaking and Hiking! I saw a tweet the other day on my journey of endless scrolling that said something like this, "I feel like I am in Kindergarten again and we keep getting punished and getting time off our recess because a few kids refuse to follow directions." It truly captivated the mood of the day for me. But through the struggles I will prevail, we all will!
On that note, I am excited to get back into the flow of things and have a semi-normal life again. With that being said, enjoy these pictures of some cakes I made and some things to make you laugh!
Heres a strawberry cake I made with buttercream icing! Please excuse the horrible piping, I was practicing my skills with a piping bag!
I have always wanted a snake, and well apparently my cat thought she was a snake one day. She sat like this free will for about 20 mins. We were just straight vibing!
This a meme I have seen floating around and I wanted to share!
Anyways, I hope you guys are doing fine! See you all soon! Stay Healthy and Stay Strong! May the Force be with you all!
Thanks for this post, which made me smile. The cat picture, of course, is amazing. And I was majorly impressed by that cake!
ReplyDeleteThis post right here is the truth baby. It has been so hard to stay inside my house, even though all my normal activities involve staying inside my house. My mom makes dinner at 3:30 and we are BORED and HUNGRY by 7. We have resorted to eating 2 dinners.
ReplyDeleteAlso... I left my house ONE TIME in the past 2 weeks. Yesterday. To get snacks from the Dollar General. Seven (7) minutes after I left the store, it was robbed at gunpoint. CRAZY RIGHT? BUT at least now I DEFINITELY don't want to go anywhere!
HOLD UP - WHAT. GIRL. YOU ARE BLESSED. THIS NEEDS TO BE SHARED.
DeleteThankfully, I haven't hit the part of quarantine where I start uncontrollably baking (because I will suck up all that food like I'm Kirby or something). I was still actually working 20+ hours a week until yesterday, when my state issued a lockdown and I'm unemployed at my internship now. Soooo it's time to bake. And tensions are running high at my house too. I'm no longer talking to my brother (for good reasons), or communicating much with my parents (also for good reasons), and I can't get a hold of the unemployment claims department. Or see my boyfriend in person anymore. You know what? I'm starting my next blog post about this. Thanks for the ideas, Kennedy. ;P
