Give me tea, or give me death!

I went running!!!

It was colder than I would have preferred on my lungs and we took it soooo slow. I feel good! I went two miles and stopped still feeling good.

Hello lovelies.

Last week was really tough. I was so tired every day after work! I got nothing done!

I was able to use the weekend though and get some writing in. I started doing some strength training so that I can start running at some point again.

Look at my precious new shirt!! I love it!!!

We are headed to Milan this coming weekend for a couple days. I cannot WAIT to go to the Starbucks Reserve again. I got so much shit last time for loving it. I don’t care if I’m in Italy, I’m going to Starbucks and you can come at me if you want.

Who can say no to this? It’s gorgeous!! And the coffee was fantastic.

Looks like I turn 11 today. Which means I’ve known some of you for over a decade ❤️❤️

I finished this today! Now I have fall and winter done. Spring is sitting next to my desk and I don’t have summer yet. 

Stevi and I spontaneously planned a trip to Milan for the first February weekend. We’ll be there Saturday to Monday and I am so excited! We are driving down with the car and are going to the ac milan v inter milan derby on Sunday. 

I’m still feeling good! Getting better and better. I was dead tired last week though. Really. Every day I was crazy exhausted. I did a lot of laying. My sleep quality is still much worse than before I got covid. I can sleep long hours, but it’s always poor quality. 

Just hula hooped for the first time in a long time and my polar thinks it was FAR TOO MUCH for my poor body.

It was a massively lovely weekend.

Do you know how long it has been since I just read for pleasure? Me neither. Reading is really hard because if I’m in the state of mind to read, I’ll usually be doing schoolwork. During my entire covid fiasco, I didn’t have the head or the concentration for it, so even though I was home all that time, I actually could not read. I read two books over the weekend. And it felt so good.

I also started a new class and am loving it! It’s Enteral and Parenteral Nutrition. I work with both daily, so it’s exciting getting to read about it and learn some stuff that I can put to use at work.

If I wasn’t studying, I was reading and that was my entire weekend! Lots of kitty snuggles. Went on a walk and just baaaaarely succeeded in missing a shower I didn’t know was coming. Made a yummy veg stir fry that I ate for din both Saturday and Sunday. Had a HP movie night with some peeps on discord.

I loved this weekend. It felt so good.

It was the paper I forced myself to write while I was sick with covid. It took everything in me to concentrate and get anything on the page. Then I had to go through it all again and make sense out of the words I did manage.

Plus, it was a fall study, which I’d never done before! So the whole time I was like, uhhh am I doing this right????

I got an A+ on it 🥺 I’m so relieved! So many factors that had me shitting my pants for two months. Also, with all the digital plagiarism-catching software these days I’m ALWAYS scared that I’m going to accidentally write something and somebody somewhere is going to accuse me of stealing thoughts.

Lovelies!

My last couple weeks have been spent mostly studying and hanging with my loved ones.

I’ve gotten out for a couple walks that have gone outstandingly! I am finally starting to feel like myself again and it feels so good. 

On Saturday I am taking a final in nutritional therapy for childhood diseases, which means that SOMEHOW (honest to god, no idea how) I will have finished three classes in the time that I have been home. 

I start work again on Monday, starting with half days. For the first week, I am going to take a study break. I have been at it without a break since I got sick. Despite being REALLY DAMN SICK I always had that nagging feeling in the back of my brain to keep going, push on, use the time at home, etc. So since my final will be taken, I will allow myself to ease back into work life again without the pressure of studying the first week. 

I downloaded BanjoKazooie on the switch and have been playing it the last couple days. I looooooooooooooooovvveee this game!! The controls on the switch are stupid and it’s frustrating, but I love BK so much that it’s still worth it to play. Will finish the game after I have taken my final. 

You guysssss

I’ve never pretended to be an artist.

But. I present my actual works of art.
