church, chores, cheering up

Happy Sunday, fam! We did it. We've made it to what I'm beginning to think is the most pivotal day of the week. To be totally honest, I don't really like Sundays. The weekend is over and I start stressing over the week to come. For the longest time I used to (and sometimes still …

there is an upside

I've had one of those days today where my emotions have been up/down/up/down/up/down. REPEAT TIMES 1,000. I've been so "up" that I've giggled with satisfaction of a big win, and I've been so "down" that I literally almost passed out because my adrenaline dropped from anxiety/stress over other news.
