Middle of the week woes are the worst. Not that my life even has a "middle of the week." As a freelancer, Mondays and weekends all blur together into what I call the 7 day work week. I think the summer heat (which is finally settling in) has me in a tizzy and finding motivation without drinking five sugar free red bulls a day is tough. So I'm tricking myself with small rewards like shopping trips (see the awesome vest and shirt above from Kmart!), freezer pops, and DIY manicures. So far it's working (I'm becoming a champ at fooling myself to stay on top of things). I do have some super amazing things on the horizon to look forward to, so that's also a motivator, that has me feeling like I am counting down until Christmas morning.
