Currently…
For obvious reasons, I did not post my weekly update last week; my brain and heart just weren’t in it. Although it’s been hard to get back into my routine this week, I’ve pushed through (so far).
May has been an epic fail in the world of reading. I read, and finished, a whopping ONE book. However, I started to read Grey – the Fifty Shades of Grey book from Christian’s perspective. My best friend has raved about it, and since I love those books so much – I wanted to give it a try. I am hoping it gets me back into the groove of reading. I’ve read the fifty shades books at least 11 times (all three). I just love the love story so much. So, here is too hoping I finish at least two more books before June comes around.
It’s funny how when you’re grieving you turn to things you love so much and know that will make you feel better. For example, I am currently re-watching One Tree Hill for the fourth time since the pandemic started? Why? Well, because, after the burial on Saturday I needed something to make me feel better so I turned to Tree Hill. Without a doubt it’s made me feel better, comforted if even. Now I’m going to start reading Grey, a love story that once upon a time comforted me when I first read it.
This upcoming weekend is Memorial Day and I really don’t have anything planned. I’m assuming I’ll be hanging out at home, reading, and potentially floating around the pool. Although, I’ve been dying to go back up to Orlando it id too unbearable with the heat right now; plus I am sure I wouldn’t find a park reservation with this short of notice. Although, I will look into going the following weekend.
I finally started my diet for the wedding. Since we have roughly six weeks left, I need to get my shit together and lose weight. I gained so much during the pandemic because I turned to sweets and junk food, and it’s time to get it together. Especially because I want to wear my favorite and “go-to” wedding dress.
If you know me, you know I absolutely love my Helen Ficalora necklace and charms. I decided that I wanted to surprise my best friends mom with her own necklace in remembrance of her son who passed away last week. It arrived today and I am so in love with it. I hope she loves it as much as I love mine.
On a shopping note, I went crazy on Amazon this weekend. I ordered a dress for the funeral and loved it so much I got it in a second color; then I bought a few pair of sunglasses for the summer. My little sister borrowed some from her friends and I couldn’t not buy them. I also bought some new Sam Edelman loafers last week and I’m totally going to wear them tomorrow to my first day back at the office.
I am the only loser who wants to go into the office, and I can’t wait. I miss the structure and the consistency of being in the office, surrounded by people, laughing, and actually being able to focus on the gazillion things I have to do.
