Hey there, everyone. I know it’s been a few days, but life happens. Anyway, it’s Monday night in my neck of the woods. WWE Raw is on across the room, which I can hear (and see if I turn my head) from here. I’m drinking a hot chocolate with Cool Whip, but I also have one of my flavored waters, because variety is the spice of life lol. And well, I like to have something cold to drink with my warm beverage lol. So on Friday, I went out with my best friend and the Little Guy. We went to The Dollar Tree, Gamestop, Five Below and Sally’s Beauty Supply. After we dropped him off at his Aunt’s house, we hit up Walmart, but we weren’t there very long. It was crowded and my best friend told me after we left that her anxiety shot up, and if some of you remember my post from a few weeks ago, you’ll know that I totally understand. So we went over to Target. Afterward, we grabbed food from Taco Bell to eat in the car and she dropped me off. I lounged for the rest of the night. I didn’t do much on Saturday, other than taking a walk through the nearby park. It felt like spring outside and it was so nice. On Sunday, I put together my weekly schedule, lined up work on Fiverr and put together a storage rack for my shoeboxes and fabric bins. I had help with the storage rack though, but I still needed to clear everything off my dresser (it’s not a huge rack). Right now, I’m working on a few writing orders on Textbroker. My goal is to work for another two hours before using a charcoal face mask (you let it sit for 10-20 minutes and then rinse it off; I'm opting for 20 minutes because I’m going through a breakout), and then I’m going to bed. I meant to make a bigger effort to break the cycle of a poor sleep schedule and time management today, but I didn’t, so I need to wrap things up earlier and start working toward that change (to better self-care). Oh, and since I already have work lined up on Fiverr, I went ahead and put up an away message for the week, so I can just focus on what’s already on my plate. I’m also going through my active notifications on here, and I’ll go through my posts and saved links (from the notifications) from January and February at some point. Until then, think of this as a “fresh start” for me. Speaking of which, I didn’t hit payout on here this month, but that’s okay. I don’t set goals like that on here because I know sometimes I’ll be pretty active and other times I’ll disappear for a bit. Alrighty, I’m gonna wrap this up and get back to work. You all take care and I’ll try to be back later. Take care! :) Photo Credit: Pixabay.

Sounds like you're keeping yourself quite busy. This isn't such a bad thing. I made more last month than I thought.

Too crowded is a bit of a wonder, to shop or not. There's always another day. Sounds like all done for the week for essential shopping? I've got Target and Walmart to shop this week. Hoping for a sunny day to shop. Got a ct scan test on Friday. I got trans for test day so not too worried about it. We had cooler weather so I too drank warm cocoa.

It wasn't dangerously crowded, but sometimes even a small crowd can be enough for a person. She never specified it was the reason - but she mentioned the crowd and her anxiety, and I sort of put two-and-two together. I don't really need anything else yet. I hope your shopping trip and tests go well! I'll drink hot chocolate even when it's warm out, as long as it's cooler in the house lol.

@Fleura It varies per client. Sometimes they give me an outline and other times we discuss the topic and I take it from there (keeping their instructions in mind).

@tammys85 that sounds interesting, do you get to create it yourself, as it were, or do you have to write up a piece from an outline? I'm not sure if I've phrased that very well, hope you know what I mean.
