Today, I’m not feeling up to writing about one particular thing. My brain does not want to focus. And it’s been a minute since I’ve done one of these posts so I figured today would be a good day to dust this “series” off and give it a go. I’m just going to write down some random thoughts as they come. See where it takes me…
This break from school has been glorious! I’ve been able to clean and get my house in order. I’ve been able to get to work without rushing. I’ve even been able to go for a run whenever I want. There are no homework assignments, or projects due. I’m not having to work through lunches to make up the time that I miss because of class. I’m home every afternoon and I get to spend it with my family. And this makes me so dang happy!! It’s like a little glimpse into what’s to come. What I’m working really hard to finish my degree for. And we’re technically in the home stretch. God willing, by the end of next summer I’ll be walking across a stage - degree in hand.
Right before classes ended I ordered a few books that I’d been dying to read. I finally finished “Reminders of Him” by Colleen Hoover and now I’m onto “It Starts With Us” by her as well. I should have reread “It Ends With Us”, but I knew if I did that I wouldn’t finish in time to start the sequel. I also have “Midnight Sun” by Stephenie Meyer, which I’ve honestly had for over a year, but never quite had the time to start it. Here’s hoping I can at least get through the first few chapters. Though if I’m being honest I’ve spent more time trying to catch up on TV shows. Corey and I have started a few that he’s been waiting on me to finally catch up with before starting new seasons. We finished Netflix’s Wednesday which I really enjoyed! Sadly, Corey was not a fan. Then we started on the current seasons of both Yellowstone and FBI. And I recently found out that the new season of Jack Ryan will be released next week. I’m so stinkin' excited about this one! Now, I know that I won’t be able to fit ALL of this stuff in during my break but I’m still happy that some of it will get caught up on. You know, on top of the regular chores and everyday obligations.
Can y'all believe that Christmas is next weekend?! I’m pretty excited about the week-long break from work that we get. Emery gets time off from school too so it’s nice having the same days off. And at some point, we’re hoping to head down to the coast for a few days. Though that plan is tentative. I’m still pretty excited about having so much family time! I think that’s where I fill my cup up the most. Surrounding myself with family and friends that matter the most to me. I still have some more Christmas shopping to do, and I know I’m cutting it really close. But I’ll blame some of that on the 12-year-old who turned in a PowerPoint presentation for a Christmas list (complete with links) just last weekend. So, now I’m scrambling trying to make sure everything gets here on time. SMH - kids.
And this feels like a good stopping point for today. It’s finally Friday! I’m hoping to be at the tail end of an 11-hour LinkedIn Learning course by the end of the day today. Tomorrow morning I have a 5k and then we’re off to see my future brother-in-law perform for the last time as a part of the UNT Green Brigade Marching Band. So, it should be a nonstop weekend. Again, while I love the busy, I’ll be more than ready for an entire week off from work. :) Until the next post! La revedere! ✌
