Friday Feels
I’m going to be honest with you all and say that today I really didn’t know if I would end up writing this today. I’ve been feeling a little under the weather these past couple of days. I think it’s been all of the transition and I am just very ready to be in our new place and back to a routine.
Well, after going back and forth between writing and not writing… I realized that I began Friday Feels as a personal collection for my blog. Although 9/10 it will always be filled with exciting trips, things or thoughts from my week… sometimes it’s just real life Friday Feels.
So today, rather than skipping I wanted to just be real with you. In addition to being real with my readers, I wanted to give myself a chance to snap out of my mood. I decided to write about things that bring me joy to feature in today’s blog!
Fluffers.
It’s been three weeks since I’ve seen this baby girl and I am so excited. Typically, my work days are filled with frequent breaks because she’s a little needy and loves going on walks. After the three weeks of working without her, I realized her need for walks usually matches up with my need for a work break! I can’t wait to get back to work days with my little office buddy.
The Sinner.
Okay, so I don’t know that it’s really appropriate to say that the new USA show “The Sinner” brings me ‘joy’ because it’s a very dark premise. However, it is a new favorite of mine! John and I started watching it and are now completely hooked. I’ve always been a Jessica Biel fan because well Seventh Heaven. That and she’s married to Justin Timberlake. But back to “The Sinner”, if you’re into dark mystery/drama shows.. make sure to add it to your list.
These “Ladies”.
I don’t talk about them enough. They are each such a significant part of my every day life and I don’t know what I’d do without them. Whether it’s sharing an Instagram photo of the pizza we wish we were eating or having real life talks about credit scores that make us feel like we’re adults… they. are. the. best.
One of them, Nicole, currently lives in NYC. She’s doing big things at Columbia University while working full time at Talking Points Memo. I haven’t seen her since she left Champaign in May but she surprised me this past week. Her surprise was that she’d decided to come visit next weekend!!! Our little group of “ladies” will be reunited next weekend and I’m pretty much counting down the seconds.
It’s kind of incredible how much my mood changed as I wrote this post. I started it thinking to myself that I may just delete it afterwards. Yet, I ended feeling thankful for the wonderful joys in my life. I finished feeling happy and rewarded that I made myself sit down and write. In the end, I thought about how my “under the weather feelings” are so small in comparison to other problems in this world.
