Friday

blog

We had to drop off our diabetic cat at the vet this morning for her glucose curve test. Basically they will give her food and her insulin and check her blood sugar multiple times thought the day to see what is going on. I’m really hoping we get some answers from that.

I was going to go into work late today, but I ended up just staying home. I don’t know if it’s the PMS or stress (or both), but I’ve just been having on and off nausea and really was not feeling up for the day. I’m glad I get some time to rest as I also have a busy weekend ahead.

Tomorrow is my high school BFF’s birthday and we’re going to a local Oktoberfest, which should be fun! Then Sunday I am taking my mom to the Bears vs. Cowboys game! She absolutely loves the cowboys and has never been to an NFL game, so I feel very lucky that I am able to take her. Today I’m just gonna keep resting and eliminating stress to conserve my energy for this weekend.

Monday Mood

It’s Monday! I’m tired, but grateful for this job and this week. My husband and I were supposed to get tattoos this weekend, but our tattoo artist had to reschedule due to having Covid. We ended up filling our weekend with other fun activities: we went and saw a movie, and we also went to the shooting range!

I definitely cried and basically had a whole panic attack before going to the range, but I mustered up the courage and I shot three different guns! I have also been having so much fun with my new iPad and making digital designs that on ProCreate! I finally feel like I have a hobby that it’s hard to pull me away from, which is making me feel very excited!

I hope everyone has a great week ahead! Here are some recent designs I’ve made:

Wednesday AM (gratitude)

blog

It’s been a while since I’ve done this and I remember how good it made me feel, so here are some things and I am grateful for today and why!

  1. My husband. I’m so blessed to have such a respectful, loving, intelligent man as my life partner. He makes me feel loved and appreciated, and I am so grateful for all of the patience and support he has given me throughout the years.
  2. Our home. It is truly a blessing to wake up with electricity, clean running water, appliances to wash clothes and keep groceries cold. We’re lucky we bought our home when we did and it’s a blessing to be able to afford our mortgage.
  3. Iced coffee. This sounds like such a minuscule thing in life, yet it brings me so much joy. I love having a little treat that includes some caffeine, and I’m grateful we can afford this little luxury.
  4. My job. I’m so happy to be in a job where I no longer have a toxic boss/manager, I am not micromanaged, and I bosses who actually ask for and listen to feedback. I am so glad I found this office and I plan to stay here for the long haul!
  5. My health. I am able to walk, talk, eat, drive, use the bathroom, dance, and do a whole bunch of things without needing assistance, and that is a blessing. I’m grateful that my blood pumps and my lungs breathe all without me having to think about it.

There are soooo many things I could list, but I need to get ready for work! What are you feeling grateful for today?

Thursday Thoughts

blog

I can only do what I can do, and stressing does not help anything.

When I am in my peace and in my own lane, that is when I thrive.

My angels and guides are always around, I can walk in confidence knowing that.

Truth and love will always win, even if it doesn’t feel like it in the moment.

Saturday Gratitude

blog

This weekend is busy, but it’s full of so much joy which is much needed. Yesterday was the 4th, so we went over to our friend’s house as they were hosting a BBQ. It was so nice to hang with everyone and also enjoy the bomb ass food!

Today my husband and I went to breakfast at our favorite place, and now we’re just chilling before I leave to hang with one of my other friends! I get to meet her new kitten today and we’re just gonna go with the glow and see where the day takes us! Part of me is hoping we go to the pool because it is hot and humid as hell today!

Tomorrow my husband has his go-karting league so I’m going to go watch him race! His friend who joined last time is going to race too, and this time his fiancé (also our friend) is going to join so her and I can grab a drink and watch our men do their thing!

The best part of all is my office is closed on Monday for construction so then I have a day to rest and recharge before the week! I’m just feeling so blessed and grateful to be present for the joy around me. July is feeling magical so far!
