Thank you do much @bridge12 for the awesome #basicwitchswap box!! I'm so excited to get into everything 🎃
🌈 Past week: 🌈 #SelfCareIsNotSelfish
🌈 Dates: I went to this great Jamaican place (got jerk chicken mac and cheese, really good shrimp and a very nicely spicy empanada), went to a fancy date with wine and oysters, and had a great double date last night (margaritas and fajitas) 🌈 Movies: Joshua and I went to see Candyman :) ⬇ ⬇ ⬇ ⬇
So the past week-ish:
#SelfCareIsNotSelfish
💜Date: 2 different date nights with the hubby, some nice drinks, and of course a day date with sushi!!! 💜Gifts: I got myself a new graphic novel and a Green Bay Flag :) 💜Plants: My friend moved (not far) but left me a plant baby for my office, meet “Haddie“💜
This past week: #SelfCareIsNotSelfish
💐Date: Joshua and I went bowling together :) 💐Explore Local: we went to a new cafe, had an amazing cupcake, went to the “fish ladder“ and saw the petroglyphs in town! Also in the whole walk, we saw a bunch of beautiful flowers. 💐Guilty Pleasure: Watched several of the Sharknado movies :) 💐
So far: So even though I didn't post a bingo this month, I really wanted to make sure I incorporate self-care into my day-to-day. #SelfCareBingo
#SelfCareIsNotSelfish
Adult/Plan: Starting using my new 2022 planner (it's a school one so it started in August) but.. it helps me feel more organized/centered and all that ⬇ ⬇
I am just being really burned out lately. School is taking a lot more out of me than I had anticipated. That and I have some emotional/personal/health things going on that have thrown me for a loop (I am “okay“ in the broad sense of things)...
So I know more self-care is really what would be best but... I feel I might retreat and If I make a bingo ... I might just feel “bad“ that I didn't try to complete it

I didn't think I would even get a bingo, been super overwhelmed. so.. there's that!
