R/R: Today is going to be crazy for work today, I'm getting on the phone at 9, then I'll be on calls until lunch. Someone pass the wine and snacks!!! I took advantage of yesterday being a slower day and caught up on some cooking shows while I worked, and then last night I worked on painting a sign using a stencil I cut out with my Silhouette, I'm still perfecting my technique.
Time keeps melding together and everything feels like groundhog's day right now, I had to triple check with myself that I'm actually in a TWW and not WTO. Anyone else still feel like it's March?

R/R: therapy appointment day. I've been meaning to write down some things that happened over the last 2 weeks so we could talk about them. I remember most of it though since my mind is still feeling mushy and blah from the whole thing. Other than that, toilets need some cleaning today and I'm going to try to finish painting what's left to be done in our kitchen.
CS/Q: I'm surprised I'm staying below 98 all TWW. I'll have to look back and see if that's usual.

@inthewoods23 Good luck today, hopefully you get through the hard parts and have some good insight afterwards. The key to watching TV while working is the correct show choice - it has to be something you can drift in and out of, which is why cooking shows are good. I watched my DVR'd episodes of Amy Schumer Learns to Cook and it was nicely entertaining.

CS/Q:
@runningoncookies i think friday sounds fair, but that's coming from someone with no willpower haha. enjoy the reorg--i always find it therapeutic.
@runningoncookies have fun organizing!
I checked all my charts, not a single one has TWW temps all below 98. Totes KU right?? We'll see! 🧐

@mvt2003 I hope work is going by quickly so far! I know things are super weird right now and I hope we can all find some normalcy soon!
@asf0613 your chart IS looking really pretty! Fingers crossed! I hope you get some allergy relief soon.
@inthewoods23 sending lots of love for your appointment tonight. I know they can be draining. Do you have some self care planned?
@runningoncookies I love organization days! Hopefully you get some productive organizing done!

R/R: I really don't feel like I have much to say today. I have a migraine and my knee is still killing me. I have homework due later today so I'll be working on that. I've also started my developmental analysis of Bender from The Breakfast Club. That's due Sunday. I just want to stay in bed and cry today. I'm super emotionally drained.

@ashaislurking i'm sorry you're feeling so down today. sometimes a day of self wallowing does wonders to get it out of your system. hoping you feel better as the day goes on
@mvt2003 100% it still feels like March. And yet...it feels like so long ago. And I wanted to watch that Amy Schumer show! It looks funny, even though I'm not a HUGE fan of her comedy- like, I think she's a funny person, but I don't care for her "jokes." Does that make sense?
@asf0613 Another good looking chart!
@inthewoods23 Hope you have/had a good therapy session. I always think I should write things down too, but I never do. 🤷🏻♀️
@runningoncookies Oh man you'd cringe so hard at my Google Drive. I have 2 for 2 accounts and have never organized them. 🤦🏻♀️
@ashaislurking I'm so sorry you're down today. I hope you can get some time to love on yourself a little, even if it's just an indulgent snack.
