Hi.

Over a month since my last post. Wow. I know--I'm terrible at keeping promises. 😭  The past month has been pretty hectic. Now with classes fully in the swing of things I feel I have no time for me and when I do have time, my brain immediately thinks I have to be doing something better with my time. That all accumulated this weekend where I was being hard on myself, which meant it was time for another....


So, here I am on a Sunday night trying to compose this post before bed time. Didn't realize until writing this how much I missed blogging. Note to self: some TL(S)C--tender loving self care--never hurt ya. I am so making TLSC a thing. 'Til next time even if that may be a month from now (just kidding, I hope)!

• In retrospect, despite how "unproductive" and "unmotivated" I felt, I got a good chunk of school stuff done. Basically all my meals have been spent multitasking & look like this:

• ....with the occasional night of Gossip Girl, ice cream & coloring.

• Did a couple of loads of laundry and washed several (AKA too many) dishes by hand. <<< Seriously one of my least favorite chores.
• Found my new go-to morning yoga stretch. For less than 10 minutes of stretching, I definitely felt an up in energy level. Great way to start the day! 
• Completed my first exam of the semester. And have two more this week. How am I 1/4 of the way through my senior year of college!?? 
• Daily (or even several times a day) walks to and from my new apartment made even better with views of the sunset/moon.
  
  
  
  
• Expanded my NPR listening to beyond car rides. I am an old lady for realz.
  
  
• 
  Took myself out for a much needed date to explore the Design District in Dallas on Saturday. Brunch consisted of a Mexican omelet (pico + all the cheese + more salsa). 
• Successfully took photos (like the one waaaaaay up there) for the photography class I'm taking this semester. 
• Went grocery shopping and found these bad boys on clearance. What's better than nutbutter? Nutbutter on sale. (Giving myself a well deserved self five for these steals. Heck yes!)
