I’m okay. Lately on Mondays I’ve been feeling this sense of dread about the upcoming week ahead (I call it “the Monday blues”). You know when you have the weight on your shoulders of too much to do and not enough time to get it all done? I was feeling it this morning, but then I saw the picture above, and it motivated me to try some new changes to make things better.
Taking a long, hot shower, putting on some comfy clothes and curling up on the couch to watch Breakfast at Tiffany’s on DVD.
Any sort of sliced fruit, with a spoonful of Nutella.
Al (my brother), Cindy (BFF), Jen (other BFF) and Naaman (my BFF from my old job).
El Hub and Tabs (when he lets me).
Super simple for now, but it may change later in the day: YSL Faux Cils Mascara, MAC Powersurge Eye Kohl/Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Plump Perfect Lipstick in Perfect Blossom/Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Cream Blush in Nectar
I took my mum out for brunch yesterday.
Relax (LOL, really!).
I’m all about comfort today: jeans, black t-shirt, pink sweatshirt and flip flops.
Try adding a few small changes to make my work life better, run five miles at least three times, remember to take my allergy meds, try NOT to multitask (still working on this one), explore new coffee shops/bookstores.
