I got into paper planners and journaling in June of this year and and it’s become a hobby now I guess because in the past I could never stick with it and here I have five notebooks I update daily/weekly.

It’s weird to say you love your planner but that one covered in stickers has so much of me in it. It’s my main planner everything goes in there. I’ve also done a bit of junk journaling in it too, where I just add stuff from my day or fun trips or wrappers from yummy snacks. There’s also a lot of gift cards from my favorite places in there. Most restaurants and stores will give you an empty gift card. You will get weird looks though lol

The one with flowers is my gratitude journal. Some days it really helps to actively look for the good because it’s so easy to spiral when things have been shitty.

The one with the banana charm is probably the most creative thing I’ve ever made lol it’s for memory keeping and I can’t wait until it’s full and all fluffed out!! I see other peoples Hobonichis and they get so thiccc lol I can’t draw but I fill it with stickers and “junk journal”, saving every scrap of my day lol my Husband now knows to check before he tosses anything out.

(I don’t to know if junk journaling is collecting and keeping what most people would throw away or if it’s actually making a journal out of junk/scraps of things. Does it matter?)

The journal with strawberries is for journaling/brain dumps. It’s where all the feelings go and it’s not decorated at all inside aside from a few random stickers. I try to focus on getting thoughts out and not so much caring what it looks like.

The pink one with breakfast on it is my “List Planner” it’s just a daily to-do list because I work full time, I’m a parent, and I’m in an Ultrasound program so I always feel like I’m drowning with things that need to be done. I still feel overwhelmed but at least I know what needs to be done and when and half the time I get it completed lol

Mi muro de graffiti ❤️😻

We had a crappy week I guess. I feel kinda guilty. Husbands current assignment was supposed to be finished last thursday and he was supposed to be home for a little bit. Took vacation from Aug1st-10th-(ish). Army told him no and extended his assignment another 2 months and cancelled his vacation. So he semi rage quit and came home early on Tuesday with the intention of the long 4 hour trek back to work today (Sunday). Unfortunately, I had already agreed to work last week. So he spent a lot of time pouting at home alone. I did leave work super early on Thursday and probably looked like a douche doing so. But I did tell my boss that my husband would be coming home that day so I wouldn't be able to stay all day anyway (before I knew he'd come home tuesday instead). I feel guilty I always have to balance work and husband and I'm mad at work for reasons and this is a primary reason. The good news is we only have a short time of this left. I'm not unsupportive, I just wasn't surprised this happened to him. In fact I knew it was going to happen and I'm sorry he's upset and theres nothing I can do to fix it.

We had some other minor daytrip plans for his original vacation dates but we can't do those anymore. We did drive down to Birmingham Alabama and he was in a poopy mood the whole time so I'm not even sure if it was worth it. The good news is the weather was really despite the weather radar saying 100% thunderstorms..we didn't see that. I'd never been to Birmingham before so I don't know what I was expecting it to look like. Looked a lot like Asheville NC tbh. I did find these twintone pastel markers. I'd seen these every day at all the stores and never got them because...whatm I going to use them for? now I have an obsession with decorative art pens and I want them and can't find them anymore! I found them and got them now. I also ordered another custom journal to test another companies products to see how I like them. I'm thinking spring next year I want to buy some products in bulk and try my own boothe at a farmers market..so I'm just testing products right now. I like the other ones that I got before better. But I like the paper in this one better. Either way, personally I plan on using this one for my self-taught spanish studies.

Anyway, I haven't been able to paint or even go to the gym all week. I've been out of the house or probably having not been sympathetic enough to my husbands plight..and I don't know what to do with him.

I am 1/3rd way done with another project I'm making a video on but its going to take me a while to finish it.
