Roses: What was the highlight of the week?
While this was definitely not my best week, it was FULL of cooking. This week I made two different kinds of bread: an italian seasonings loaf and a loaf with rosemary, minced onion, and cheese mixed into the batter. I made a cheese dip recipe for a sponsored post I’m working on. I made lots of spinach salads (which were a total staple in my diet when I lived alone) and took advantage of my Instant Pot tons!
Thorns: What went wrong during the week?
I could not recharge this week. I could. not. I tried. I really did. I deleted all the apps from my phone. I didn’t watch TV. I stayed away from the computer when I wasn’t working. I took baths. I painted my nails. All of it. I just could not recharge at all! I already feel better this morning than I did at any point last week.
Buds: What are you looking forward to next week?
This week we’re supposed to get our big PCS news which is super exciting and will hopefully make me feel like I can start to plan things again. C comes home next weekend and I can’t wait! I’ve got a big client project to finish off in the next two days and kick off another one later in the week. It should be good!
