First things first: YES I was wearing a mask everywhere I went, except when I was with family. Never mind that though. There’s been a few places and things I’ve gone to and done. For example, I went camping at an area close to Bakersfield. Not sure what it was called but it was also near a hot springs. It was pretty fun, we did what every normal person does when they go camping: we made a fire, explored the wilderness and even hopped in the hot springs.

We also celebrated both of my sisters’ birthdays, one who was turning 18 and the other who was turning 16. Sadly they didn’t celebrate my birthday. I’m guessing it has something to do with those birthdays being special? For example, my 16 year old sister’s birthday was important because they even have a name for it “Sweet Sixteens” and my 18 year old sister’s is also important because she was turning 18, and being 18 lets you do more things that you couldn’t when you were a TWEEN. I was just turning 14, which is not a big deal, but its okay I bought myself a cake … I’m just playing. My sister and I went to the mall to buy me some clothes.

Some other things I did were go to the movies with my friends. That day had to be one of the most fun I’ve had since the pandemic started. We watched part of the movie but then we got bored so we headed to a nearby Walmart and had some fun.  Then when we left we had bought some model cars made from Legos. It was fun while it lasted but yeah that’s pretty much all I did.

There are many more things but I feel like they weren’t as important like these days. Life during the pandemic sucks I’ll tell you that, but there’s some days worth appreciating.
