I’ve started eating hot dogs again. Usually I don’t like them, but as a kid I would always eat them. My dad has decided that he will be grilling them almost everyday for lunch and they have comforted me in a weird way. Just feeling like some time everything will go back to normal. I still feel like I haven’t set into a routine yet. It feels like the start of school figuring out my routine except instead of excitement it feels like everyone is just sad and confused. On the brighter side I have been able to make a lot more meals for myself based on what I want instead of when the school has to offer.

Today I’ve thought about how much I miss my Wii. My parents got rid of it a few years ago and it really held some of my favorite childhood moments. I remember my favorite game was Super Mario Galaxy which I consider to be the best Mario game because it was so different from all the others. You could explore completely different worlds every time you played the game. But it also had a unique and sad story line. It felt like that game had more depth than the other games and I really miss it. Also the music was pretty cool. I wish I could buy a new Wii and that game but the pandemic has made me skeptical. I’ve found myself reminiscing on my childhood more than usual recently which has made me both sad and grateful.

I am feeling very excited for spring. However usually spring is when me and my neighbors start hanging out again and playing basketball. It won’t feel the same without being able to hangout outside with them. I also kind of want to start running again because I live right next to a park, but it has been a bit cold. I also want to start drawing again as I feel like anything I create during this time will hold memories for me to look back on later.
