*- Jade Diaries -* Yesterday, I spent ALL day backing up content to my external hard drive. While it was nice getting that task done, I was craving some much needed time outdoors away from screens today. Spent a big chunk of my morning out in the gardens, watering and fertilizing. I harvested my first cherry tomato of the season! And my youngg magnolia tree (*that I planted in memory of my Nanay*), is sprouting lots of new leaves ๐ฅฐ. I know she would be proud of my green thumb ๐. For lunch, got treated to chicken udon noodles and taro boba milk tea ๐. I go to my local ramen/boba house so frequently that the owners welcome me by name ๐. I love supporting small, local businesses because they truly value their customers and I feel treated like family whenever I come by โบ๏ธ. After lunch, had to stock up on pet food and cat litter - which has gone WAY up in price (*yay inflation*). Please know that Iโm extremely grateful for every single monthly subscription, tip, PPV purchase, and tokens from CB because the majority of it all goes towards putting a roof over my head and food on the table - for both me and all my pets. So thank you! โค๏ธ Since the weather was nice all day, I spent the rest of the afternoon washing and detailing my car, and itโs sparkly clean โจ. I usually dread this task, but I always feel better when itโs done. Finished my evening off with cooking fettuccine alfredo with chicken and mushrooms for dinner - yum! ๐ฝ I find myself wanting to finish off a few more chores before bed, but Iโm going to force myself to take it easy the rest of the night. Iโm thinking some skincare and reading will help me relax ๐ I know my inbox is a little full at the moment, but Iโll get back to answering messages starting tomorrow. Thanks for your patience ๐ค. How was your weekend? Feel free to share with me in the comments or DM! Goodnight all โฅ๏ธ
