New year!! And it's starting off on a good note for me (so far). I have a lot of things for the summary this week actually, so this is gonna be a long one:
Another week has come and gone. We're having some unseasonably warm weather this weekend, which will be followed by a cold snap this week. Not looking forward to being very cold again 😭
It's been one of those up and down weeks. Things haven't been bad but I've also had a mini depressive episode knocking at my door the whole time. I've mostly managed to keep it away so far, and Saturday was a really nice day so that helped too.
Felt like I went through this past week in a haze. I was pretty exhausted. Work has been kinda slow which is actually more anxiety-inducing for me than when it's busy. But this week looks a little better I think!
People like to call the NCAA basketball tournament "March Madness" because it can get really crazy at times. But, to be honest, it's a good nickname for this month in general. So many weird things happening all around.
But somehow we are already at the end of the month 🤔 time flies too fast!
Another busy week, but I managed to swing a vacation day on Friday! It was a nice mental rest for my tired brain after several nonstop weeks of busier-than-usual work.
So here's a few things to share from the past week:
It has been a very weird week, but mostly in a good way. I've been enjoying the extra sunshine and nice weather 🥰 but work was also exhausting 😵💫 I'm hoping this week will be a return to my more typical workload...
The weeks are just flying by now. I can't keep up 😅 More than halfway through February?? That doesn't seem right!
Anyway, I was tired most of the week and had a bout of vertigo that wasn't fun, so I spent a lot of time reading (as you'll see in the fic recs section of this post lol). But overall, it was a decent week.
Another long and exhausting week, but I'm finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel for the work project! Then I'll be back on track to enjoying all the things again! (Although this past week wasn't too bad)
I took a few days off work for the Thanksgiving holiday, which was fantastic because I've not had a real vacation all year. So it's been a nice week. (I'm gonna be sad to go back to work tomorrow lol)
It was conference tournament week for those who follow men's college basketball, so that took up most of my attention in my free time this past week. More on that, and a few other things below. Let's get to it!
I blinked and another week flew by. This was the week leading up to my birthday! But work was extra busy, so I didn't even get to do much leading up to Saturday. Oh well, such is life.
Here are a few short highlights from this past week!
