I feel like this post is going to be all over the place, so bear with me. MENTAL HEALTH UPDATE Last Friday, I had an appointment with my psychiatrist and together we determined it was important that I take medical leave from work. 11 days into starting my new medication regimen, I had a massive panic/anxiety attack that lasted for an entire ...

Friday Five
Welcome to this week's Friday Five! ONE My mental health has not been doing well this month. It wasn't until someone sent me this article that I truly realized why we feel so depleted. I've had trouble focusing, concentrating and feeling motivated/productive. Though I have GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) and am not new to some of these ...
Friday Five
It's Friday and I couldn't be happier! This week has really dragged for me. I have felt really tired, unmotivated and depleted, even though I've been working out everyday since Sunday. I don't know if it's a culmination of pandemic stress or the fact that I was not emotionally prepared for the last few episodes of season 11 of Grey's Anatomy, but ...

Happy Friday! INVISALIGN, PART DEUX I have the day off of work today and am finally starting my Invisalign refinement trays. I finished my initial 20-tray treatment months ago, but due to COVID-19, there were understandably clinical delays in getting seen again and having my teeth re-scanned. My refinement phase will be treating my overbite ...

I hope you had a great week so far! I had a four day work week this week and it was so wonderful to have several days off in a row for the July 4th holiday. It definitely left me feeling re-energized, but I'm going to start this post on a heavier note before I get into the fun stuff. THOUGHTS & FEELINGS We are still at home...all the time. ...

Today is Juneteenth - please take a moment to learn more about this annual holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. It's also my husband's birthday today - happy birthday Kevin! ONE I ordered a yoga mat this week that looks like a vintage Turkish rug! I have been looking for one with better grip/traction and really hope ...

I hope your week is going well! I have today off of work and am selecting fabrics for our game room window seat cushions and a roman shade for our kitchen window. Can't wait for share which fabrics I choose. One of the fabrics I'm considering is this Schumacher one. We have bamboo woven shades everywhere else, but I wanted a fun print for the ...

I haven’t done a Friday Five in a while, so here we go! PATIO RUG UPDATE Well, I’m still on the hunt for a rug for our patio. When we got this rug in from Overstock last week, the color looked completely off to me (I ordered the blue/beige). I thought it would be light blue like the photo online, but when it came in, it was more of a ...
Friday Five
I hope you've had a good week! I've been having some sleep issues but other than that the week has been ok. I'm consistently waking up between 3-4 a.m. and also dreaming a lot, which is usually a sign that I'm stressed. I mean, who isn't stressed right now? There is so much uncertainty, no answers on when things might return to normal, fear, etc. ...
Friday Five
Each week, I start to look forward to the weekend but other than going outdoors for a bit, our weekends are spent at home. I'm trying to focus on gratitude right now - thankful we are both employed and able to work remotely, that we have a comfortable home, a full fridge and pantry, enough devices for our children to do their remote schoolwork, an ...
