Week Not in Review: Week 291
I’m losing, guys.
I’m not keeping up. I’m not keeping up with homework and studying. My apartment looks like…I can’t even say. But it’s bad. I’m just barely getting my blogging done. I have some other personal things I’ve been trying to complete for AGES, that I just never get to cuz the daily stuff keeps coming first.
I thought the couple weeks of doing only the Week in Review and Outfit of the Day posts would give me a little break and I could get caught up, but…while those two posts are easier in the sense that I don’t need to do an actual photo shoot or come up with an idea…they’re still time-consuming. But at the same time I was taking those weeks off, I had all that kidney nonsense and was distracted and still not getting anything done.
So this week I’m taking OFF off. Real off. Off from EVERYTHING. I’m even going to take a week off from TikTok.
But…I will share some pictures with you from this weekend when I had one outing…
BUT FIRST, this is how my head feels right now…(volume on, please)
Cuz, in case you missed it, I’M GOING TO A BTS CONCERT!!!
OH THE CHAOTIC JOY
And now…some pictures…

I found fall. It’s in a bank parking lot on Staten Island,
Slow boat from China
See you next week, friends!

Your pictures look great – but it sounds like you really do need to just REST from it all for a little while. Take it easy, don’t try to push yourself so much. REST!

I WISH this week was rest! This week is “don’t blog so I can finally get all those OTHER things done!” I’m about a third of the way through my to-do list.
It’s the Korean learning that’s put me over the edge. I’m spending at LEAST 10 hours a week on that (without much even to show for it yet!). But I’m not giving that up cuz it’s part of my future plans!
Treading water treading water…

Please look after yourself, that’s wonderful to know you’re going to the BTS concert! Thank you for the fantastic photos.

Thanks, Cheryl, I’m trying. It’s hard to let go of everything….

HAHAHA! Slow boat from China. Hope my new shacket isn’t on there. Ugh. Truly worrisome. Not the status of my shacket but this whole deal with the shipping, the trucking, for that matter, the immigration situation here in El Paso…ooops, didn’t mean to get carried away.
I can T-Totally relate to losing it. I am no longer losing it…IT is LOST. Probably never to be found again. My blogging mojo is gone, I am not wanting to exercise, take photos, cook, clean, blog, read, craft. I am still wanting to drink alcohol and eat!!
Love these photos. I like the one of the chapel…the fact that you captured part of the building rather than centering the entire building in a frame. More interesting. And the sewer/water cover is another great image. Cute shoes! Love the maple leaf on the cover.
Hang in there, girl friend. Maybe it is the transition to fall that has us discombobulated? Wow, I can still spell that word. All is not completely lost, I guess. XO

The Ripple Effect. Even the most seemingly insignificant actions have wide-reaching consequences.
As far as lost mojo, I’m wondering about the correlation between that and the change of seasons/temperature/day length. Cuz I do feel like that affects me every year but I don’t realize it til afterward. More so the summer into fall than winter into spring. But yeah, I’m feeling the same right now. Before I was trying to do 7,295 things every day, I looked forward to the short days cuz they were my hibernation days, when I could come home from work and put my nightgown on at 4:30pm cuz it was dark (or almost dark) and just go straight to the sofa and veg all evening. But I haven’t allowed myself that for the past few years and I think it’s catching up with me. Plus, old.
