May 2020 Memories

Another month has gone by and I honestly don’t know if that is a good thing or bad thing. Yeah we’re almost halfway through the year, but its also been a shitty year with quite a lot of things happening. Sooooo.

Nothing exciting happened during the month. Pretty much stayed home, slept, read, watched a ton of tv shows. What else can you expect when you are an unemployed graduate with no life.

I discovered my new favourite thing to eat. A toasted bagel with peanut butter and bananas. I love having it. Its just so good.

On a more serious note I guess there are a few notable things about this month.

I struggled with my mental health quite a lot. I felt empty, sad and angry all the time. I wish I can explain it and why but I can’t. And a part of me just doesn’t want to. Between the one year anniversary of my uncle and not being able to graduate, not having a job, everything became too much. Oohh and I gained 15 pounds. Lets just say the quarantine 15 is a real thing. I posted a few updates here and there about whats going on so you can look at it if you want.

My friend and I decided to do a Marvel movie marathon. Surprise surprise, I haven’t watched that many marvel movies before, and kind of wanted to see what the hype was, so I asked my friend if he was interested in watching them and I got Disney plus. Initially I planned to review all the movies, but I am lazy and its pretty much the same pattern so far. A 2hour movie, lots of fighting and a superhero, with a white arrogant male actor. We’re watching in universe order and so far I have liked Captain Marvel (female lead) and Thor. We’re only on Iron Man 3. Not yet done.

Like I mentioned earlier, I watched and discovered a lot of tv shows during the month. And because I am a nerd who loved analytics I can tell you that I watched a total of 82 episodes/60 hours. The Below Deck franchise is something I keep up with because its entertaining but I so happy that Sailing Yacht because it was terrible . I watched season 3 of the Good Doctor, and season 3 of Dynasty which means that I am all caught up. Can I just say that Dynasty is overly dramatic and unrealistic but its still so entertaining. And Fallon is amazing. I discovered Blood & Water, such an amazing different show on Netflix. All I will say is that its South African and involves kidnapping a baby. I don’t know about you but I had never seen a South African show before. I watched Sweet Magnolias, which is so charming. Three best friends living in a small town, where everyone knows everyone. The Baker and the Beauty is another new show and its good. Cuban Americans, friendships, relationships and family, drama

Its a month since I’ve had my kindle and I love it. It comes in handy so much and its making me get into the habit of reading more often. And I guess that is the reason why I ended up reading 6 books this month. They are:

No, We Can’t Be Friends by Sophie Ranald
The Worst Best Man by Mia Sosa
Bound by Honour by Cora Reilly
Bound by Duty by Cora Reilly
The Good Luck Charm by Helena Hunting
Bound by Hatred by Cora Reilly

I’m also in the middle of Beach Read by Emily Henry.

Thinking about it I didn’t do that many random purchases this month on Amazon. It was definitely a month of restocking things that I use everyday; melatonin, vitamins, facial cream and gel pens. But I did make two random purchases:

A popcorn maker and popcorn seasoning which I’ve only used 3 times. Who doesn’t like fresh popcorn
A diffuser and essential oils, which I only used once for 5 minutes then it gave me a headache.

Yeah I know my mom should take my debit card from me.

That was my month in a nutshell. Not that exciting but like I always tell myself, beggars can’t be choosers.

In case you want to catch up, this is what I posted throughout the month:
