Hey . Glad you got a new phone! I've been doing some cleaning here and there, some organizing too: put away some summer clothes and brought out some warmer ones :P And cleaning. Still need to do dishes sigh

me to. No phone was no fun.

I can imagine ! The smarter the phone, the more we depend on it LOL I wish I had already enough money for the iphone 8... I want it so bad LOL

hahaha oh we are horrible without phones. And can't believe it i was 18 (just only could call) when i got my first phone and 30 when i got my first smartphone. No iphone for me , sticking with my samsung.

I haven't had the best experience with Samsung phones; they kept slowing down and not responding for me; when I switched to iPhone I fell in love lol

Happy ! Please join us in celebrating Lila's special day and share a birthday wish!

My two previous smartphones were LG. They were nice, but I LOVE my Samsung Galaxy J7. I haven't had it for three months yet.

I hope that you have a WONDERFUL vacation, ! <3

Happy birthday, .

Thanks !

Countdown to the end of the month has begun! I need to finalize my costume before the 31st .______.

Ohh I need to look at new phones, I've got this pretty shitty old smartphone that's breaking apart daily, but everything else is so expensive right now haha! I'm kinda waiting for Cyber Monday so I can maybe look at a phone deal

Happy ! Please join us in celebrating Susannah's special day and share a birthday wish!

Happy birthday, ! I hope you enjoyed your day! (:

Thank you ! Madrid and Toledo are beatufiul, but my feet were killing me by the end of each day... so much walking! :P

We're happily home, my sister-in-law and I.. and Angel? He came home a day early and today went off to a congress in Malaga, so he's over there until Saturday :P

Yea my feet were killing me when I was in Madrid as well! Lovely city, but lots and lots of walking. :)

Rest up!

I will be resting a lot tonight! Just waiting for SIL to finish unpacking so we can get some dinner and then sleep the night off!

What the frak is your HA lmao

I am so happy to share that a couple of days ago I started feeling like a real person again! I still get anxious thinking about going to work but I no longer am in an eternal pit of despair and anxiety. I have started getting gratuitous amounts of energy every night around 7-8pm that lasts for a good few hours, which has messed with my sleep schedule a bit, but the good news is that I have begun using that energy for things! I have cleaned my apt and begun a painting project (wip in spoiler below), and last night I literally dug through the bag of rarely-used-fitness equipment in the back of my walk-in closet to find my garmin forerunner watch and charged it... because I wanted to go for a run! I wound up getting sleepy before it charged, but I may go out tonight. Exciting!

I have one more week off of work before I return, and this time is to build some healthy and positive habits for myself and practice self care now that I am no longer in survival mode. My hope is to return to the daily grind a bit better than I left (well, a lot better considering, but you get it) so I have some healthy habits to focus on and have a better work/life balance.

I woke up today at 7am but then went back to sleep until 10, oops. But I did just finish a 30 minute yoga practice as part of a 30 day yoga challenge and boy do I feel amazing (and kind of sick)! I have been eating like crap and my body is now like revolting. Man, good things are coming... making a grocery list and meal plan now as starting tomorrow I am going back on whole 30.

I just feel so good and had to share. Thanks for listening when I was down at my absolute lowest and helping to keep me entertained as I recovered. I love you guys and really missed you while I wasn't on Subeta <3

painting work in progress

I have been working on a Milky Way painting for my living room (I still get goosebumps thinking about seeing it when I stayed on an island on Lake Titicaca in Peru, it was the single most beautiful thing I have ever seen). I was loving it until the pink, and now I and going to probably go back over with a different brush to try and blend before adding the stars today.

That is really pretty!

I missed it, so I have no idea! Now, I wish I had seen it LOL

I am glad to hear things are getting better :D I always hear a workout in the morning makes the day feel better and puts you in a good mood - if you take that route I'd love to hear if you find it has that affect as well. I might even consider it... :D

Love the painting! Coming out well and I am glad it has such a positive memory associated with it for you.

Awe thank you so much! :D

I have never been an artist by any means, but I found that I quite enjoy painting! This project I actually started two years ago (but I haven't had the energy to paint or anything for like a year+)? Since I don't know what I am doing I started on a small canvas and have been doing progressively larger paintings. This is my third milky way painting and I think the last one unless I want to special order a larger black canvas.

Here's the finished product of a smaller one I did:

You were a weird like green blob gak thing. I wish I had taken a screenshot, I didn't realize it was a hex lol!

Yea morning workouts definitely start the day off on the right foot and for me sets the tone for the day. We'll see how things happen, I kind of want to do yoga (or stretches) when I wake up and maybe run/walk in the evenings if I keep getting randomly energetic near bedtime. I'll let you know how it affects everything!
