Exhausted

blog

It’s -6 degrees outside. My car was sliding all around this morning. One coworker was in an accident on the way in today (she is okay). I have 2 hours left of work and I just know it’s going to fly by because I have so much shit to do still – but just needed a minute to breathe. Happy Monday.

Sunday PM

blog

It’s 9:44pm and I’m off to sleep. Hoping to get a solid 8 hours before work tomorrow. Regardless of how much sleep I get, and regardless of the fact that mother nature paid her visit today giving me insane cramps, I am determined to make tomorrow a great day. Getting some sleep will help with that for sure, and laying on this heating pad is giving me such relief. I am so grateful that I had such a wonderful weekend with my husband, and I know this will be a great week ahead.

Saturday Evening

blog

Today has been a nice chill day with my husband. We went out for breakfast, ran some errands, did a little purging (we’re gonna drop off some bags at the thrift store tomorrow), and now we’re just gonna work on our home dashboard project and probably watch a movie! I love having a chill weekend with no real plans.

Mental Health Day

blog

I ended up reaching out to my boss and letting her know I cannot come in today. I’ve been so overwhelmed at work lately, and these last seven weeks have been harder than the entire two years I’ve worked there. I’m glad I have understanding bosses, as I really haven’t had that in the past and I could have never asked for just a mental health day; but here I can be honest and just say “I need a day so I don’t burn out,” and they get it! Now I can rest and take this little break for myself and come back on Monday feeling recharged and ready to tackle the world!

Snow

blog

I’m so sick of snow. I hate waking up and seeing that it’s sleeting/snowing outside. I’m also just so exhausted from work and I can tell my period is about to start so everything just feels like a lot- but I 100% do not want to drive in this shit today.

Thursday Thoughts

blog

It can be really hard to let go of things beyond your control, but your body and brain don’t need to hold onto that stress.

Gratitude changes attitude! Focusing on the good can be hard sometimes, but it’s very rewarding.

We are so small in the grand scheme of the world and universe- sometimes zooming out helps realize that our problems are quite minuscule.

Some people suck, and some don’t. That’s it.

Wednesday AM

blog

Well it’s windy and there are snowy ice pellets falling from the sky and I have to leave for work in a couple minutes. This weather always makes me anxious, mainly because of the sliding in the car and feeling of lack of control. I’m praying I get to work safely and so does my husband, as well as everyone else on the roads today.

Tuesday PM

blog

I am tired from work but it’s not as bad as it has been, and today I feeling motivated so I am attempting to make a version of the Starbucks tomato mozzarella sandwich! Tomatoes are roasting in the oven now and once they’re done I’ll add them to the sandwiches, add some spinach on top, and bake the sandwiches for 5-10 minutes to let the mozzarella melt! I’m so excited to see how they turn out!
