Happy September, everyone! Finally, the fall months have arrived. We won't get a cold snap here for a little while longer, but what we do have is Pumpkin Spice Lattes at Starbucks. Pumpkin Spice equals the onset of fall. Always. I haven't had my first one of the season yet, but that will be happening soon! I thought I'd write a little post about the current state of things in my life. I'm sure this isn't the sort of thing people like to read on a blog like mine, but it's therapeutic to write, so I shall. Here we go!
♥︎Current Favorite Activity: Baking! I've been baking cookies lately...and banana bread. Apparently, the best banana bread a good handful of people have ever tasted. I got a new loaf pan at HomeGoods (best store ever, I just found out!) the other day which I still have yet to test run. It's sitting in the cupboard just waiting for me to fill it with yumminess.
♥︎Current Favorite Show: Mork & Mindy, hands down. In the wake of Robin Williams' tragic passing (yes, I cried), I decided to start watching things of his that I'd never seen. This show was one of those things. Wow. Just wow. You can really see how much of a comedic genius he was. Hilariously funny with a heartwarming message at the end of each episode to give you all the feels. Nanu-Nanu!
✘Current Annoyance: The Bank. I apparently was involved in a security breach/information leak and my debit card was suspended. They called, and gave me the routine spiel about ordering me a new card, 5-7 business days, blah blah blah. Simple enough, right? WRONG. SO WRONG. A week and a half goes by and I'm sitting around wondering why my card hasn't shown up yet. A little worried, I call to ask what the hold up is. "Nobody ever ordered you a new card" said the young man I was speaking to. Uhh...excuse me? Nope. That answer just did not work for me. They said the earliest they could get a new card to me would be by Tuesday. Not realizing I had called on a Saturday at 4:00 in the afternoon, I said I'd do it myself. I later realized that I'm an idiot. The bank is closed already and it's not open on Sunday either, smarty pants. Oh, and Monday? Yeah, forget that because it's Labor Day. OF COURSE IT IS. So, Tuesday it shall be. Thankfully, that's tomorrow. Oi Vey.
♥︎Current Blessing: My Mom. She swooped in at the last minute when I finally humbled myself enough to call her and ask for her help, advice and expertise. The woman is a party planning machine. She can do it all. I'm not just saying that because she's my Mom. She just happens to be ridiculously talented. I'm planning a bridal shower for 35 guests that's going to be taking place 5 days from now. If you don't know me, you should understand that I take things to the extreme. It's all or nothing. If I'm given a responsibility, I will turn it into the biggest most wonderful most stressful thing ever. For example: "empty the dishwasher" means "clean out the pantry and organize everything into color coded baskets with labels". Yeah...that actually happened. So, suffice it to say, I got in a little bit over my head, financially. Having to pay for other things that popped up the past few months (ahem...hospital bills) kinda threw me. I was having severe anxiety about how I was going to pay for food, flowers, table linens, dishes. The list was long. But I called and she immediately said "I'll handle it". The exact words I needed to hear. And handle it she did. I'm actually excited about the party now because a good portion of the stress was taken off of my shoulders. Can't wait to take pictures and post them here for you guys to see. I'm sure it'll be beautiful!
♥︎Today's High: Knowing that I'm going to get to see my other half tomorrow (♥︎!!) and my best friend making me feel a lot better about something that was really bothering me.
✘Today's Low: Having a bad dream that really shook me & crying over things that I can't ever put into words or explain. I suffer from anxiety and depressive episodes, and today was rough at the beginning. But, I'm okay now as I'm blogging from my big comfy bed.
❀Today's Lesson: Start using your words to really tell people how you feel. Stand up for yourself and your beliefs and the things that are important to you. Don't simply do something nonsensical because you feel bad for someone, or because you think it's what they want you to do. Don't say something dishonest because you think it's what someone wants to hear. Anyone who goads you into doing something by playing on your emotions is NOT someone you want to be particularly close to. People like that aren't in it for you, they're in it for themselves. Know when you're being manipulated.
Well, that's all for tonight! I hope I brought a little insight, laughter and light to your evening. Goodnight!
