2018-09-28 Serious Friday Feels
Everything I was worried about yesterday went great. Every thing that got done made me feel lighter and lighter. I made a space for my morning cardio which I did not think I was going to have time for. ✅ I got my lawn mowed. ✅ I had a difficult conversation with my boss. ✅…

2018-09-27 Lots Of 💩 Today
Sometimes I’m a chicken shit. It stands to reason because by dad is kind of a chicken shit too. Well, not kind of. He IS a chicken shit. Passive and at times passive aggressive. I would not say I’m passive aggressive, but when it comes to delivering bad news or telling someone no, I will…

I encountered a certain level of frustration because I’m not reading concept texts like I was last term. This time…

2018-08-13 In the Zone
Yesterday was a perfect, quiet day. I got my workout in early and did some house chores. After that I was still not feeling the school vibe, despite impending doom. I really should come to terms that I don’t have to be “in the mood”, to work on what is supposed to be homework. I…
