The Sims Legacy

So as you know we have a YouTube channel and have been posting but it’s been a couple of weeks since we uploaded. For the Court part of the YouTube channel which is the sims 4 videos right now, I have two videos as of May 14th so that’s good. I am playing a let’s play which means that you play as the sim and start from nothing. I love playing sims so doing this means a lot that I can now finally do it. The description for the Anne Legacy is pretty good.

“Leah Anne is a teenager starting her own life by herself. She moved from her mom’s apartment and is now in the real world. Watch her struggle with earning money while being homeless and in high school.”

This is the description from the channel playlist that I made and I think it’s good. If you guys want to go and check out the videos there is a YouTube button at the top of the page that will link you straight to the channel.

I have a sim’s 4 playlist on the channel for my game and then when Joe starts his game he will make a playlist for his stuff too. I hope you guys enjoy the video it took me a while to figure out how to edit it through the Filmora editing app and once you get the hang of it, it’s pretty easy to use it. The channel is MorningCuppaJoe&Court I do have a youtube button at the top right of the screen with the other social media buttons.

The back paragraph

You know those little blurbs on the back of books well I have finally figured mine out.

“You know how you always need that one friend that will do almost anything for you. Well Hillary Williams has done just that in this small country town. When it comes to her best friends there’s nothing she wouldn’t do like becoming a blood sucking vampire? Yes you read that right she became a vampire for her best friends so their friend group can always be together. Turns out she isn’t the only Williams that’s a vampire. You wonder what’s going to happen read the book and you will get the juicy tidbits about everything in time.“

This is what I have come up with if you guys have any input or just wanna comment just do it down below and Have a nice day.

Living Alone

There are many things that living alone has taught me these last four months. I am learning how to budget money for food better since the person who orders food a lot isn't living her anymore. I have found out a couple of my favourite meals and then I am going to rotate through them throughout the month and there I go no need to spend more then I have too for food. I have my certain bills that I know I have to pay like my hydro, cell phone, internet, and my website. My major bill that I pay is my rent which if I had a full-time job I could pay no problem but since I have my part-time job I need to figure out how to get the rest of my money for rent after this month when my EI finishes. Hopefully Dad and I can figure out how to get more money unless I go to A) school B) get a full-time job or last resort Move back in with my parents but then I would need to break my lease for my apartment when I really don't want to since me and Joe are going to be living here till the lease ends in 2023 and then me and him rent a house or while we are here save to buy a house.

That’s another thing Saving money to buy a house that's going to be one hell of a goal. There are so many things that factor in like making sure our pets have everything that they need and then making sure we have money for rent and food and bills it's going to be very very hard to figure this out. I really hope me and Joe can figure out how to save that much in the next five years at least cause we want/ need a house because he is a singer and wants to have a house to record his music and then I want to start a set up so that maybe I can record videos of video games that I can start posting on YouTube. Maybe I can make some money to help us get a house.

Anyway there are many things that living alone will teach you and unless you have been preparing to live on your own it can be tough at first getting setup and then figuring out the bills that is another hard one to do at first. I can keep going on but then that would be too long of a post haha so I will leave it at this.

Life Update

Hey, there guys, sorry I haven't written a post in a long time I have been having a rough time these last month or so. I have had a medical scare of my lifetime but I had an MRI done and there is nothing that the doctors can do so that's good I guess. This medical scare was my back acting up more than normal having sharp pains and not being able to lift things but since the doctors can't really do anything the next best thing is using the exercise bike that I bought.

Something else you guys should know is that I am now living alone as I have broken up with Ryan. He moved back to his mom’s place and I stayed in the apartment so I am the only one on the lease for this place. So since I have not had Ryan in my life for at least four months which has been nice. I have been talking to an old friend His name is Joe and He is now my boyfriend. I have known him for about thirteen years we first met online through a site that has since changed its name it was first called Yearbook and then it has changed to MeetMe. We have been talking more over the last couple of years and we both realized that we have major feelings towards each other. So the next thing I know haha is that he took a bus to Winnipeg from Regina Saskatchewan to come to see me and when he got here it was an amazing time. He is moving here next year to be with me and he is also bringing his two Kitty cats which once they move I will definitely be making a post about them and showing you the two cuties there is Leah she is a precious little girl she is a rescue and has the biggest heart when you get to know her and then there is Arty her brother well he is the opposite of her, he thinks that he is still a little kitten when he is three years old I think.

Another update I have is that I am working part-time at a gas bar about a three-minute walk from my apartment door. It is a very laid-back atmosphere. I have worked at gas bars before like co-op in Moosemin Saskatchewan but those were bigger than where I work right now but it's a very nice place to work. The only thing I hate about working there is that it's part-time when I need full-time to be able to live in my apartment. Other than that there aren't any other updates really. If you guys have any questions for me about anything by all means comment on the post and I will get back to you as fast as I can.

Staying cool in summer

So since summer is here there have been soo many days that are really warm like +30 Celsius where I live. There are some people that don’t have the money to have central air or a window AC so these are some tips that I have found online through some research that I did.

Drinking water with help you to keep hydrated and cool during the summer the more water you drink you won’t get dehydrated and pass out from not having enough water in your system. It’s always very important to have water with you even if it’s not summer because not drinking enough water can cause so many problems with your organs since water is what helps keep them going.

Have you ever had a problem sleeping at night because your bed and your bedroom are so warm? have you tried opening your window and it doesn’t work? Why don’t you try putting your bedsheets in the freezer or fridge for about a half-hour before bed so you can go to sleep in a nice and cold bed in the warm bedroom.

There are spots on your body that are always warm like your neck or behind your knees. I have found a couple of ideas to cool those areas down. Why don’t you try wetting a hand towel from your bathroom and wring it out and put it behind the back of your neck I have done this many times and it helps so much because as the towel drys it also cools you down. For it to be even cooler why don’t you put it in the freezer then put it around your neck that would feel amazing. Then for behind your knees just get a gel freezer pack put it in the freezer and then wrap it in a hand towel or tea towel and put that under your knees if you're just going to be sitting on the couch or laying in bed that would help also.

So there are a couple of great ideas to keep yourself and your family cool in this hot summer inside if you don’t have central air or if you also don’t have a window ac too. I hope this helps you guys. Sorry, it took me so long to make a new post but I will get better.

How to relieve boredom

So many people have been bored during these hard times because they haven’t been working. I know how hard it’s been since this all started. I was one of the many that got laid off from their job. Today I was literally laying on my bed watching YouTube out of boredom. There’s a list of stuff that you can do that doesn’t cost money.

-Watching YouTube/ Netflix

-Going for a walk around the neighbourhood

-Maybe relaxing in the tub with a good book

-Write in a journal about your feelings or something

-Take up a hobby

-Play video games

-Go for picnics at the park

-Go to the zoo when it’s safe to go there

-Maybe think of a book that you might want to write

There are so many more things that you could do to get rid of boredom so this is just the tip of the iceberg. Sometimes it’s just better to chill at home and do nothing for mental health sake but you do need to get out of the house some days. Just go for a walk and get a little fresh air and have fun maybe listen to music on the walk.

It’s always a good thing to try and keep yourself busy these days because if you let yourself dwell on the hard times and just sit there doing nothing then you may need some friends to talk too. Ryan my loving bf is here so I can always talk to him when I need it or there’s my dad he pretty much texts me everyday and sometimes he helps me to figure out what to write like today he told me to do a boredom post because of how bored I was. So if any of these ideas helped you let me know on here down below or go over to the @corkycornerlife instagram and send me some DM’s of what you think and maybe some blog posts you want me to do. Anyway have a goodnight , day or evening wherever you are bye guys.

Goal In Life

One of the goals in my life is to open a restaurant with my dad. So for having your own restaurant you should do some either college or university courses to get more info and study how to do some of the things that a restaurant needs you to know. Like getting inventory and also learning how to do the paperwork like payroll stuff. When you want to open your own restaurant there are many steps to opening a place you need to know that it will be a lot of work to open and run a place. You also need to save up so much money to even think of opening because depending on where you live you might need to buy the building and do renovations to make it work for the kind of place you want it to be.

Right now I am doing an online course so that I can learn more about how to manage and run a restaurant confidently so that when we eventually want to save money and open the restaurant then I know what to do to help get it up and running and working efficiently. It can be so tough having your own place because you never know what kind of hiccups you can have come up out of nowhere.

I have been working in this industry most of the time I have been working. I have been working in the restaurant industry since I was about eighteen years old. I have always loved working with customers and I love seeing people have their food and just love it, that just warms my heart to see people so happy. I am thinking of making more blog posts about opening a restaurant so if you guys want to see that just let me know in the comments and I will do that more.

I love you guys and I hope everyone is staying safe. :)

Life Update

Well there is a couple things I need to update everyone on. As some of you know I Have been on EI for almost a year but after sending out one resume I now have a part-time job. I have been thinking of getting a part-time job to get out of the house and it feels nice I did one day on Friday which is nice. So I am working part-time for the company Chicken Chef.

Yes I am getting out which is awesome so it's definitely a good thing to have this job it gets me out of the apartment and away from the boyfriend for a while because he now works from home as a technical support person.

So that's my update for my life and I love all of your support and love you guys.

Writing In A Journal

There is a habit that I have been trying to get better at doing and as you can tell from the title it's writing in a journal. I have heard that there are so many good benefits it can help you mentally and help you keep track of other habits you are trying to start which is nice. There are so many times I write in my journal and I just start writing like crazy I have written sometimes two pages of thoughts and sometimes only a couple lines of thoughts. It all depends on the number of things I need to write down because there are days where I have so many thoughts to get out which is good but sometimes bad.

Just being able to write in a journal helps me get through the week because I write about my life and sometimes when I write it helps. It helps calm my crazy mind when I can’t think because my mind is going a mile a minute. You can use it to help manage your finances because sometimes writing them out will help you over-look and get a sense of the realistic budget that you need for that paycheck. Since I moved back to the city I have been trying to budget and for the most part, I can but I need to figure out a better system and I am probably going to be using my journal to figure it out.

Stay safe and hope you guys enjoy the blog, I would appreciate it if you guys could give me some feedback and tell me how I have been doing. Anyway, talk to you guys later have a good time.

Mental Health

So many people these days are battling their minds because of this pandemic. People are becoming more depressed then before this. When Canada went into lockdown I got laid off and being home for most of this is hard on my mind. I am so used to being busy as I was a waitress, but since the restaurant dining room got shut down I have not worked in almost a year.

I hope everyone is safe and taking care of themselves physically and mentally. If you live by yourself then you should reach out to family or friends because this is going to hurt you the most if you can't talk to anyone. Even if it's just going online and talking to a friend through Facebook. I know how hard it is to not really have anyone to talk to except family members which are still great. One way to battle depression is getting into a habit that you really like. maybe you want to journal and get your thoughts out on paper sometimes that really helps. Just being able to write down your thoughts helps. But I just wanted to talk a little bit about mental health since I know there are many many people dealing with it right now and it hurts knowing that.

I hope you guys stay safe and also stay in contact with your loved ones. I will talk to you guys in the next post have a great day and I love you all.
