- We went out for ice cream Friday night and a father and son ended up sitting at our table and we had a lovely conversation and exchanged numbers. What a nice surprise to make a new friend!
- It’s been so damn hot I finally broke down and bought a bunch of new dresses. I found three styles I mostly liked and then got several colors in each style. My summer work wardrobe is set! I’ve been getting a lot of compliments at work which makes me feel nice!
- Speaking of the heat, I had a weird reaction last Saturday where my left cheek was swollen most of the day. Like I could see it (and feel it lol). I was like… “am I having a stroke?” (A legit risk since I am on blood thinners.) We confirmed I was not having a stroke. Probably a reaction to the disgusting 96 degree day and the facial I had two days earlier. It was less swollen Sunday and fine on Monday.
- It’s been constant farewells to my work colleagues over the last 5 months. I’d been handling it okay enough, but a close teammate of mine left Monday and I was all up in my feels. I work with amazing people that I really like so… it’s been tough. I’ve been burying my feelings deep and just gaslighting myself through each day and I wonder when all that is going to boil over.
- Here’s my new mani!
Yay for new friends! I’ve been noticing that people are more chatty out and about these days than they used to be, but I’m not sure how to account for that (or maybe I’ve been turning my RBF off?).
The new dresses look lovely too.
I’m sorry about all of the goodbyes at work 🙁 Especially when it’s a close teammate. It’s so hard when you’re used to seeing/talking to someone every day for years and they’re suddenly gone.
Do you enjoy the chattiness?
Thanks so much!
It really is! And it’s hard to deal with so much of it at once.
I am loving your manicure and your dresses! Such fun colors and patterns!
Thanks so much!
I am here for 3 of your 5 things. No one needs swollen cheeks or good people leaving work. Thank goodness for new ice cream friends, cute dresses, and new nails.
LOL! This made me laugh. And you are right, I definitely don’t need those two things!
Such enneagram 2 energy to meet strangers at an ice cream shop and exchange numbers. HA. I love that!
Those dresses are so cute! I especially like the first and third because they are so vibrant and look great with your skin tone!
I’m sorry you are dealing with so many coworkers leaving. I am so worried that two of my closest coworkers are going to leave soon and I don’t know what I will do!
Ha, it totally is!
Thanks so much! 🥹
Ugh! Have they said they may? That stinks!
Yay for summer dresses!! I love dressing in the summer – it’s so easy.
I’m so sorry for so many of your colleagues leaving. I know how hard it can be when you want your team to be strong.
It totally is! I love just pulling a dress and some earrings to match.
Thank you 🥹
