Time is funny. January seemed so long but was also over in a second. I think, especially living alone, and working from home most of the month, I’ve been absolutely clinging to my routines, but it’s working out for me. My Productive App has kept me in check and I hit every goal since I started using it again. The “spring” semester has started and I’m doing well again this semester. I’ve told pretty much everyone that this is the calmest I have ever been, maybe in my entire life.
Not that I’ve ever been one to shy away from extra, but I think part of my calmness is that I have dropped all pretense of wanting to blend in. Tiaras Embellished headbands for the office? Check. Little hearts on my nails just because? Check. Using the good perfume even when I’m working from home? Check check check. I’m doing all the little things that make me happy, things that add a little sparkle.
February is such a weird month. It’s solidly still winter, but I’m very much over winter. The snow was pretty, but I’m ready to ditch the layers. I have some fun things coming up this month and it’s making me excited for spring. I’m ready for porch and patio hangs and the sun going down closer to 9 than 5. Basically I have spring fever a month and a half early. Anyone else?
