Goal for the Week: Go SOMEWHERE besides “straight home” every day. For once I ACTUALLY got all most of my blog work done over the weekend so I have the luxury of a little more time after work. It’s getting pretty out now, flowering trees are blooming, bulbs are flowering. There are PHOTO OPPS.

MONDAY

I will just say, since I didn’t do Week in Review last week, that on Sunday morning I hit 47 jumps. I’m THISSSSS close to 50. Then to 60. Which is (more or less) a MINUTE. How long I have been working towards jumping for ONE MINUTE?!

A long time.

Today’s “not coming straight home” adventure was a last-minute doctor’s appointment. I needed to get my prescriptions renewed and when I called this afternoon for an appointment she was like, “can you come at 5:00?” Uh…THAT’S LIKE AN HOUR FROM NOW?! THAT’S NOT ENOUGH TIME TO WORK MYSELF INTO A TIZZY BEFORE SEEING THE DOCTOR, WHAT?! But I figured I’d get it over with (OHMYGOSH IS THAT SOMETHING AN ADULT WOULD DO??). I saw a PA (not the one I liked so much last time but) and she had to squeeze “well, you know, your weight” in there when we were having the WHY CAN’T I GET AN MRI FOR MY WEIRD PAIN UNDER MY RIGHT RIB CAGE discussion. Again. The one I’ve been having for TWO YEARS.

Anyway, I did get a script for an ultrasound….and they’re trying to get me in for an MRI as well (which is what the chiropractor wanted LIKE A YEAR AGO).

Wow. I’m feeling all kinds of OUTRAGE today. More new news at work. More changes. We’re gonna need a bigger boat.

I also stopped at a thrift store and got a questionable shirt. And picked up KFC on my way home from the doctor.

OH. BAD NEWS. KFC dropped steak wedges from their menu! As fast-food fries go, I felt they were far and away the best. And now they’re gone.

It’s a travesty.

TUESDAY

Stayed up til 4am watching the last five episodes of A Tale of 1000 Stars. Crying til 4am: not a recipe for “getting to work on time” success. It’s been awhile since I’ve pulled an all-nighter on a school night but…I’d hit the point where the EMOTION started and I just couldn’t tear myself away.

Emotion Addict right here.

Note to Self: Jumping rope on 2 hours sleep is a No Go. I couldn’t get more than like 5 in a row. I just gave up. And I never give up. But my legs weren’t having it.

WEDNESDAY

Well. THIS was a day. I had a little style identity crisis (#sisterwifedress) breakdown on TikTok, ha ha. I had to do a Part 2. And that went a little viral. There was lots of “just wear a pretty necklace and it’ll be fine.” They mean well.

It was a warm day and at lunch I sat in my folding chair on the grass at the building next door to work.

THURSDAY

How much does a chimney cost?

Nothing. It’s On the House.

Khekhekhehekheeee 🙂

FRIDAY

Made it. It was touch and go there for awhile.

I guess I haven’t really explained what’s been going on at work and why my anxiety is up around 12.75 on a scale of 1-10. To keep it as general as possible, we’re down two people in the departments I’m in. This is causing many changes in my role, geographical position (ha), and the amount of human engagement required. I’m just…trying to keep my head down and power through but…

SATURDAY

I may or may not have stayed up All Night Long watching the BTS Bang Bang Con (8 hours of old concert videos and cute little clips of them I’ve never seen before). It ended at 10am and then I had to run around to get to a bridal shower at 11:30. Do you think I could have even wrapped the gift while watching? Nope. I could not take my eyes off the tv. I was transfixed. Happily. Lack of Sleep + BTS Energy gave me such a high I didn’t even stress about going to a social function. With PEOPLE.

SUNDAY

Spring 2012. Bushwick, Brooklyn

Took it easy. Did some very minor straightening up. I’m sometimes amazed at how I can pass an entire day doing really No Thing.

And another week turns into another week.
