📥 editors recap

honestly? this week was a hot mess. I procrastinated on ALL my school work, stayed up super late every night, skipped the gym multiple times, got nothing done for my to do list, lost my writing streak.... just one of those weeks where everything falls apart my lord. right before this, I ended up breaking the new weekly reporter layout and I'm not at all sure why it's acting so wonky now. tonight, I actually started here with editor's recap... if I were a little more savvy (perhaps something to add to the coding to do list), I'd love to make this front and center with regular reporter to follow.. maybe I'll give it a try haha!
this week I'd really like to focus on just getting caught up on everything. I'd like to go to bed at a reasonable time, get back on track in the gym and in my writing, get ahead on my homework, and have a better time than I did this week honestly. 🔝

💭 puzzling over code... branding... buying a domain.... reworking this section and brainstorming more stuff to write about every week...... what if big weekend update multi page reporter... what then?!

— reflecting

had the thought that I need to be a little more "aggressive" in my friend building. I've gotten so used to just hanging out and doing things by myself that I think I've lost that maintenance that comes with having friends. I've got the trivia group that I like to hang out with, but I'm particularly interested in better developing friendships with a couple girls I've been meeting up for dinner and coffee with. I think I'd like that casual comfort in being able to make on the fly plans and text them a bit more... I think I also need to be a little more proactive in developing friendships in class too and with my coworker mentor. my first step should be asking more questions about them, I think. now that I think about it.... it also applies here too gyah.

— enjoying

a while back, I bought this little matching jacket and sweatpants (if you can call them that? theyre cropped and dont have the bunching at the ankle) and I pulled them out of the stack recently while I did homework. it's very soft and comfortable. I sit under an air vent and get cold at my desk, so the weight of both is just right. its kind of like a homework/house clothes uniform... better than staying in my work clothes, but not quite so relaxed that I'm in my pajamas.

— playing

calebs birthday has just passed. I did all his birthday stuff last minute since my week was such a mess but you can see the cake here I'm debating on making a digital collage or a physical one.... I'd also like to do a backdated one for sylus.
the more important thing though, is rafayel's gorgeous new myth!!!!! we are finally getting his mermaid tail!!!!! the cards, thetrailer and all related marketing are so STUNNING!!!!
we are also getting a new zayne 10 days with you card and he's in scrubs!!! he looks heartbroken!!! i cant wait to read it yay. <3
🔝

— obsessing

I wanna buy lads merch.... but I keep missing all the stupid preorder windows for pins... and I wanna preorder those silly dolls and now I've come around to the nendo....
sigh all i wanna do is buy things I am so ridiculous
also I'm considering buying some icon slots for all the lads boys... I tried to go through and get rid of some but I couldn't bring myself to delete them WAHAHA
🔝

— recommending

being gentle with yourself..... I feel run through the ringer. also this comic is me this week LOL
also wanna recommend pants comics... theyre so full of life and so weird but delightful... reminder to rest!!!!
🔝

— treating

my supervisor and one of my other coworkers share a birthday so we went out to lunch and had delicious empanadas!! I bought lunch on friday (because we had no leftovers) and had some awesome chicken tenders and a yummy brownie sundae dessert.
our power went out during a short thunderstorm yesterday, and since I had homework I needed to do I went out to my usual tea shop and got a jasmine fruit tea!! it was SUPER refreshing... drink of the summer I think. I wanna see if I can get boba in it next time
🔝

— encountering

I really have no idea where my time is going. I might start one of those little trackers... I think I also need to make better to do lists? at work I'm not having any issues but my personal life is a mess!!!! have some fun life stuff happening starting at the end of the week... goodness. june is half over??? I feel like I'm still super lost??? I wanna write and do things and not feel so behind GYAH!!!!!!!!! I need a break!!! a day to get my life back in order GAHHHHHH!!!!!
🔝

— restoring

there has been no restoring here.... but we will get back on track!!! a hard week is just drop in the bucket- I've got this!!! it one of those things where I've just been exhausted all week but not in a bad mood? a little overwhelmed with what I need to do..

this format is amazing??? obsessed.

& honestly i feel you wrt feeling like time is just flying. the thing that helps me is, annoyingly, meditation. i get a lot of mileage out of donothingfor2minutes.com especially bc so much of my work outside of meetings is just On The Computer. tbh to me this connects a lot with the reminder to be gently with yourself and rest! take it easy, give ur brain a break, remember that i'm capable of just chilling for a couple minutes and letting that be a needed reset.

i hope you can restore this week! i'm rooting for you!!

thanks!!! I've been having so much fun with the trial and error of formatting everything correctly. I'm glad its been so well received

I'll try and incorporate some meditation- that sounds like a great idea actually. thanks for the support!! I was able to get some rest and I'm feeling much more restored!!!
