N.O.v.e.m.b.e.r!

    I went today and finished getting all of my toiletries and snacks for the plane for vacation! 

 

    Tomorrow I am going to be tackling packing! 

 

    I have a whole system:

 

Step 1: make a list of essentials that I can’t leave out! 

 

Step 2: gather all the clothes that I think I want to take! Put them in a cold and distant pile.

 

Stare at them for a day or two if I have time! 

Step 3: put together outfits! 

 

Step 4: pack undies, socks and an extra bra! 

 

Step 5: pack tanks (can’t have an outfit without a tank)

 

Step 6: second guess myself 36 times. 

 

Step 7: cry... A LOT.

 

Step 8: yell at myself for being so disorganized! 

 

Step 9: throw the shit in the suitcase. 

 

Step 10: realize I can get more in there if I just fold it nicely! 

 

Step 11: pack 44 unnecessary, “just in case items”. I’ll be prepared if dinosaurs come back from extinction. 

 

Step 12: organize toiletries.

 

Step 13: double check everything.

 

Step 14: reorganize, because I’m an actual slob. 

 

Step 15: I have to leave for the airport in 8 minutes. 

 

Step 16: convince myself that at least one of my bags is more than 50 pounds.

 

Step 17: 4 minutes...FUCK! 

STEP 18: SWEATING AND SAYING I GUESS IF THIS IS TOO HEAVY I’LL PAY THE EXTRA FEE.

 

STEP 18: 30 MINUTES LATE... BECAUSE I TOOK SHIT OUT OF MY, “OVERWEIGHT” SUITCASE JUST TO FIND OUT IT ONLY WEIGHED 28 POUNDS AT THE AIRPORT. 

 

 

    If you can’t tell, it all shifted to literal internal shouting. 

 

    I’m a WHOLE mess. But I always get my shit done and i’ve never missed a flight...knock on wood. 

 

 

    Happy November! 

 

XOXO

Cookie Era!

Image
  Listen, I’m in my cookie era! Here’s what I did! I made a double batch, scooped them and placed them on parchment paper to keep them separated. Placed them in freezer bags and then froze the second batch. That way I have chemical free cookies ready to take out of the freezer whenever I want and bake fresh! This way I can bake 2 if I want instead of making up a whole batch.

My Manic...

Image
     I have been stressing myself out lately about perfection. I can’t share anything I do unless I know it’s perfect. It’s probably going to give me an ulcer.       I decided today that I didn’t need perfection.      It’s not about that. I mean I’ve always known that but I am so unbelievably hard on myself that I allowed those feelings to creep in and attack my inner peace!        I haven’t felt that manic in about a year! So it was definitely something that I had to take care of right away! I almost forgot that my manic was an emotional response to stress.          I was being unappreciative of my own strengths, too hard on my personal weaknesses and turning a blind eye to my mental state.       I called it quits yesterday and decided to do absolutely nothing all day to let my brain rest and recover from my own abuse. Until inspiration hit and I decided to DOODLE.  ...

Ditch Kitty!

Image
  It’s been awhile since I’ve had an update on my little rescued ditch kitty! Sirius is thriving! he came to me at 1.5 pounds soaking wet and he’s up to 7.5 pounds now! Which is perfectly in line for his age! He’s all up to date on his vaccinations and he doesn’t have to go back for another year! (Unless he needs to!) His personality can only be described as wildly unpredictable and entertaining! His favorite things are wet food, cucumbers and pull tabs from my almond milk and playing nonstop!
