It's kinda sad that an Acai Bowl is the main entertainment source for the day. It was delicious though.
Today we went to Juice It Up and got some amazing Acai bowls. We then went to the post office to get the 50$ bird cage for Pao. It was huge and pretty easy to set up. Since it is so cheap, the material is pretty cheap and the food feeder was all melted. The cage bars were all misaligned as well. It was not bad for a cheap cage. Very big like the 300$ ones. I do not really recommend it but we are Asians lol. We put Pao outside inside the cage and he loved it so much, he started talking so much nonstop. He said all these sounds and words he never said before. I guess he really loves it outside all day. He didn't even want to come out. Here are some of the things he said.
He says "Hey Buddy" but it sounds like Peter Griffin lol. Maybe he watched a lot of Family Guy?
Okay, so I know that everyone is bored at home, even celebrities like Justin Timberlake who said that parenting 24/7 is not doable whatever that means, and Ellen who said that she is in literal jail (jail has a tennis court and an elliptical machine?) It was fine at first, because the day after I came back from London with my boyfriend, I went to pick up my sister who was visiting after a year from Michigan. We went on self-quarantine like that day and we all went on lockdown a few days after. We bought a whole bunch of groceries like Korean BBQ, water, snacks, canned food, chips, crackers, cookies, desserts, corn, etc. It was fun because she saw the 8 puppies Howl had, she fed the chickens and ducks, all the dogs, we made some Youtube Videos for her vlog, did some Tik Toks, and we had so much stuff we could do all day.

I made a blog, we played some Mario Party and Mario Kart, watched a lot of horror movies, helped my sister do her homework, did some of my homework, and the days have been going by pretty fine. We sold all our puppies except Midnight, Art got us an African Grey he found, we ate a whole bunch of meat next to the fireplace, a lot of wine, and went grocery shopping so often. Honestly, it was never really boring in the normal sense, because we have so many animals and so many things to do in this rural area. However, I am bored in the sense that this routine is boring. Waking up and not being able to go outside and only staying at home just makes it seem boring. Doing the same things, waking up at the same time, not having something to do makes life kind of boring. It is so important at this time to have a hobby at least, in order to keep sane. I feel like I am fighting way more with my mom because I see my family all day, and eating gets so boring too. We have eaten the same kinds of foods and we are kind of getting sick of it. Thankfully, we got an acai bowl today and that felt so refreshing. I love going out too, even if it is just to the grocery store or to get some acai bowls, or even the post office to retrieve some mail. It is honestly better than staying at home all day long.

I actually never eat Acai Bowls EVER but my sister loves them. I tried it the other day like a spoonful and it was actually so delicious! I never noticed before because we had choice overload but now it tastes so different than my usual junk food I eat every single day. It was delicious. Thanks Yura. Also, prior to this weekend, I would see my boyfriend on the weekends because he would come up, and I would go down to Fullerton to grab a drink and eat with my boyfriend. I did not think that I could stop seeing my boyfriend (his mom got worried this weekend) and I would just be at home. Eating Korean BBQ was fun at the beginning, but after the 7th time within one month, it gets kind of old.
This was good the first time, but I am getting sick of meat. It is still good, but the routine just makes even Korean Bbq bland. I don't know what to do to get rid of this boringness at home. Blogging helps for a few hours, but then the same routine continues the next day and the next. Please give me some suggestions and recommendations people! I still love all my animals and hanging out with them, love my family and home, but I just need some new things to do everyday. I think I need a stay at home job. Anyone hiring?!
