Day 32: 90 Day Challenge π
Almost forgot to update for yesterday. Had the worst mental breakdown ever and proceeded to have a terrible nightmarish nap that scared the heck out of me and somehow today was so much better.
πββοΈ Physical Activity
50 minute glute workout in the gym
resisted the urge to binge
π§ Mental Health
guided Journal in the morning
β€οΈ Emotional Health
let myself have a good well needed cry
π Intellectual Health
nothing honestly that I can remember
π Adulting
zoom called boyfriend
talked to my dad on the phone
started watching a new TV show that wasn't American dad
π₯° Self Love/Care
gently bullied myself into brushing my teeth and washing my face/doing skincare before laying down

Today was really good, so I'm looking forward to updating on that tonigjt/tomorrow morning. I'm also super excited to get my nails done and a haircut on Thursday! Plus I gotta go shopping for some new jeans, a new shirt or two to wear to Christmas Eve dinner with my boyfriend at his dad's house. May just cave in and buy him and I matching Christmas sweaters to be "that couple" for fun. Speaking of, I can't wait to see my man on Saturday <333 I haven't seen him since early October, so getting to spend a week and 2 holidays with him will be absolutely amazing. Hopefully his mom likes the little gifts I got her.

I have a bit of a dilemma and I need some outside opinions.
I have the chance to take the next five weeks off of work (somewhat, theyβd need help with some things maybe six days I know for sure in the next five weeks). During this time, Iβll receive a paycheck near the end of May, and I can file for unemployment benefits until I go to Colorado in mid June. I wanted to take this time initially to continue studying Spanish, work on my health, and build some good lifestyle habits.
however, Iβve been contacted by a different branch of my company on the university campus to help with dorm cleaning for the summer until I leave. All I know for now is that Iβd work ten hours on Monday, from 7am to 5pm, and then Iβd find out the schedule going forward. I donβt drive or have a car so Iβm a little worried about traveling around campus for cleaning, especially since my friends arenβt going to be working with the dorm cleaning either.
part of me says take the break from work, enjoy life a little bit until you go to Colorado, and file for unemployment. (Iβd work 40 hours a week for 8 weeks in Colorado). The other part of me says that I should keep working and make the money because itβll be decently more then unemployment would give me. Mentally and emotionally, I am a bit burnt out from my semester of work and really do want some time off. But the financial aspect of it is what is keeping me torn.
what should I do?
Mini Check In August 19, 2023 π
So I haven't gotten tested because it's the weekend for me, but based on my current symptoms, there's a good chance I have the vid-19. Which is really not fun, but at least I've been dealing with it a bit. I left work early on Friday and am not able to work today thru Monday, which could potentially cost me my job, but fingers crossed.
I am currently looking to apply for a different job on my university campus, and I already know I'll get the job after I apply (my way of manifesting, lol). It'll be nice to do something a little different than my current job, for sure.
I'm going to try to get back to my regularly scheduled posts and routines as soon as I find myself in better health. I feel bad not posting, but I've also been resting a ton to try and heal faster. But yeah, I currently feel like -12/10 in gems of physical health.
Fingers crossed, I'm better by Tuesday! I have my first cooking class on Tuesday evening, so hopefully I am better and can attend because the professor for that class is amazing!
Also, thank you guys for 150+ followers! Just a few weeks ago, when I started taking my blog seriously, I only had 7 followers so having over 150 now is incredible! I appreciate all of you so much <333
That's all for today! Til next time, lovelies!! π©·

Day 14 & 15 - 90 Day Challenge π
So I'm updating for those two days (Tuesday and Wednesday) because I was semi bedridden with pain in my head and stomach for those two days. Even today uve been feeling some odd pins and needles type chest pain at random times. I don't know if it had something to do with Mondays workout, or other personal issues, or even just stress and high cortisol, but I was in a good deal of pain. (I think it's all the stress I'm enduring, tbh)
I did finish some editing for my final paper due tomorrow (that I need to finish entirely today), and i did make it to my cooking class on Tuesday night but geeze I've been in so much uncomfortable pain. And I'm losing my health insurance tomorrow so there's no time to get it checked out, at least not until i figure out how to get other health insurance.
I also recieved to Amazon packages and an ulta package on Tuesday, and my Oxyshred came in the mail yesterday so that was fun, I always love receiving packages.
I'm sorry for not updating properly. I will have a better update for today's accomplishments.

In Need of Motivation π
can anyone recommend some good studyspo YouTubers or just any studyspo content, study motivation advice and tips for right now?
I have homework and studying I need to work on but canβt find the motivation to move from my bed to my desk.
I might try a Study to Success video, or an old video from Studyquill.
also, Iβm curious, what keeps you guys going to get some work done when you donβt feel like doing it? What sparks your productivity?
