*- 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 🥰. I know she would be proud of my green thumb 💚. For lunch, got treated to chicken udon noodles and taro boba milk tea 😋. I go to my local ramen/boba house so frequently that the owners welcome me by name 😂. I love supporting small, local businesses because they truly value their customers and I feel treated like family whenever I come by ☺️. After lunch, had to stock up on pet food and cat litter - which has gone WAY up in price (*yay inflation*). Please know that I’m 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! ❤️ Since the weather was nice all day, I spent the rest of the afternoon washing and detailing my car, and it’s sparkly clean ✨. I usually dread this task, but I always feel better when it’s done. Finished my evening off with cooking fettuccine alfredo with chicken and mushrooms for dinner - yum! 🍽 I find myself wanting to finish off a few more chores before bed, but I’m going to force myself to take it easy the rest of the night. I’m thinking some skincare and reading will help me relax 🌙 I know my inbox is a little full at the moment, but I’ll get back to answering messages starting tomorrow. Thanks for your patience 🤗. How was your weekend? Feel free to share with me in the comments or DM! Goodnight all ♥️
