It’s 8:12 pm this Sunday night and my goal this weekend was to start the second season of Stranger Things. Chances are looking slim at this point, but to say this weekend was a lazy one would be an understatement.
Let’s back it up to Monday when I made my one millionth attempt at using a planner, but my first using a Happy Planner. Scrolling through Instagram looking at #plannergoals was a bit of a mistake. People who have been doing this for years flooded my phone and compared to my attempt…let’s just say I made the jv squad. With all of that said, I had a lot of fun and after I finish up this post, I’m going to plan out my week! At least I have 52 chances to improve.
Honestly, weeks blend together now. Work is busy and challenging, all in good ways. If I think back to my very first agency job to where I am now, it’s a night and day difference. Especially in terms of confidence in both myself and my craft.
Flash forward to Wednesday. I see a release of a Funko that was on the list of things I wanted to get my bf for Christmas. I tried pre-ordering and failed. The Toys R Us site keeps crashing and if that wasn’t happening, the payment system was not functioning. The next day, I tried again and found out that all the inventory in the Pre-Order was sold out. That was definitely not in my plan. There was an option to pick it up in a store (which mind you, it was sold out in the Pre-Order, mind boggling that it was in store), so I chose that and had a family member pick it up. Ironically, my boyfriend texted me a picture of it that day saying he thought it was cool. Little did he know, I had gotten it for him!
The way it all turned out, I was able to give it to him that night and he was pretty excited by it. The next day we happened to go on a work field trip to a Cider Mill and then at night, it happened to be Friday Night Lights and we sat in the cold and rain while our team brought home the W.
Over the 4+ years we’ve been dating, wrestling has made it’s way into our lives. My boyfriend was a huge fan in his youth and has refound his love for it over the last couple of years. Basically due to osmosis, I’ve found it to be interesting and love going to the events. Over the weekend, we traveled two hours to a casino and watched one of our favorite promotions in an inaugural event. Did I pay an exorbitant amount of money for a room? Yep, especially since they were sold out. Was it the best show we’ve seen? Not by a long shot. In fact, there was a lot of drama. Between the dad behind us upset that profanities were being thrown around to the drunk guy who poured his beer on a wrestler and who is lucky all that happened to him was getting shoved (with authority mind you) and kicked out, it was an event.
Then we both got the worst night’s sleep we’ve ever gotten and drove home. We’ve been dog free since Thursday and it’s strange, coming back to a house without having a dog jumping on you. It’s also nice not having to let him out every 5 minutes. It’s been one of those half lazy, half anxiety ridden days. The feeling that you should be doing something, but then take a two hour nap – you know, one of those.
A new week is only hours away and my two big goals of the week are to drink more water (consistently) and to take the stairs at work.
