Only two weeks into the "real" world of working and I already feel stuck in a routine of sorts: Work, eat, Netflix, sleep, repeat. This must be what adulting is like. Not sure if I dislike it necessarily but it is very difficult for me to stay mindful of what's going on both around me and within me; I feel so tasked-driven rather than feeling or thought-driven. It's alarming. Everything feels so forced, so ordinary. And I don't know how to get out of this rut! As much as I know I am not spontaneous, I prefer structure to routine. I like to know what I have scheduled--no unexpected surprises--though I don't want to do the same thing every. single. day, which is what this feels like.
On that note, my list of accomplishments for this week's Week in Review is basically filled with the usual weekly errands and such so I apologize in advance for a) the same old stuff and b) the lack of pictures!
- Set out clothes for the upcoming week! Hopefully this unpredictable Texas weather calms the freak down.
- Filled up my car with gas ⛽️
- Got some bank issues sorted out and finally deposited my first internship paycheck!
- Listened to a buttload of podcasts including 10% Happier, The Healthy Maven, Ladies Who Lunch and Let It Out with Katie Dalebout.
- Volunteered at the animal shelter again with them doggies and kitties
- Managed to devour most of this Korean feast with my fambam on Saturday night 🍴 🍴 🍴
- Restocked the fridge with goodies from Central Market and H-Mart (local Asian grocery store)
- Used said goodies to meal prep a lil' bit for the week: roasted butternut squash and zucchini and
- Zoomed through reading Rupi Kaur's beautiful poetry book, Milk & Honey
- Removed my nail polish with ONE remaining cotton ball (with help from toilet paper and Q-tips), which sounds a lot harder than you think especially as was glitter-filled. Seriously, every time I wear glitter nail polish I swear never again then can't seem to learn my lesson.
- Went on a Corner Bakery brunch date with my dear friend, Heather ☺️
- A load of laundry washed, dried & all put away!
- Concocted a sorta fusion shakshuka/fasolakia dish paired with a chunk of leftover homemade bread & feta cheese
Questions:
Do you prefer routine, structure, neither?
When a show's plot doesn't go your way to you stick with it til the end or give it up?
Anyone else have issues with glittery nail polish?
