What a week! You know this Lizzie McGuire gif?
That’s been me! Let’s find out why!
Last Thursday, I found out that I was going to start working remotely full-time… and that began this past Monday (yes, four days later!)! So, as you might imagine, it’s been a crazy week! But now that things have begun to settle down, I think I’m ultimately happy about the change—I’ll get two hours back in my day by ditching the commute, and I don’t have to go to an office and sit in an empty room for eight hours! (My boss left back in the fall, and since then, I’ve just been sharing a room with his empty desk—so sad! At least now I’ll have Pops as a “co-worker,” haha!)
My current makeshift home office!
I mentioned last week that I’ve been dealing with some depression-like symptoms. They’ve been especially pronounced on weekends, and sure enough, I was an emotional wreck last Saturday night. I was feeling a lot and really missing Kristin, who was always super calm and helpful when faced with my emotions. I ended up calling Kristin’s mom (who BONUS sounds exactly like her!), and we commiserated about missing our girl. Her mom is a sweet angel and was very helpful, just as Kristin would have been. ❤️❤️
Sunday was a better day! I actually showered—something that felt way too daunting on Saturday! And I only took one nap! And I did the wash and made it to yoga! Buuut yoga was canceled because we were locked out of the building. Womp. I didn’t want to go straight home after FINALLY getting out of the house, so I went to Ulta and Target. I haven’t really been in the mood to shop, but it was fun to look around and pick up a few new things with some Christmas gift cards!
On Tuesday, I saw my beloved psychiatric nurse practitioner. We’re going to chat again in a few weeks to see how my depression symptoms are because, if they were triggered by the medication change I mentioned last week, I should be feeling better by then. I know that people (rightfully) put a lot of emphasis on finding a therapist that you click with, but I think it’s also vitally important to click with your psychiatric professional. When it’s a good match, at least in my experience, you feel heard and supported. That’s huge!
Also on Tuesday, I picked up some more of my new fave Lush product, Ro’s Argan, something Kristin had introduced me to. I hate that sticky moisturizer feeling, so I love that you rinse Ro’s Argan off!
Hope you have a great weekend! xo
