Week Overview

This week has been relatively good to me honestly. I’ve probably had more good than bad happen. Even if I did stress out pretty bad sometimes. I’m going to start chronologically as much as possible. 

Friday: In the morning I was about to go to Target, and thought my boyfriend wanted to come because we always grocery shop together but he didn’t so I went alone. Which is fine, I enjoy shopping alone because I can take my time. While sitting in the parking lot, someone who lived in one of the buildings asked me for a ride to Stop and Shop so she didn’t have to take the bus. She is a very nice, old black woman and I’ve met her previously. I agreed to take her and we talked along the way. I suppose this was my good deed for the day. After I got paid, I ordered HTV sheets online for my shirts and it was a relatively good price and they were apparently way better quality than the ones I was using. I also ordered some skincare products from Elf because they’re products are not only amazing, but affordable too. It was only $15 for 5 products and I figured I needed some actual products and I want to care for myself more. I hung out with my cousin today as well, we went to BAM and I got a deck of Oracle cards and a set of citrine crystal earrings which are beautiful. We headed back to my grandma’s house and sat outside with my aunt, grandma, uncle, and cousin. My aunt mentioned that I should buy some crystals to go along with the deck of cards and suggested a place I completely forgot existed, Pandora’s Box. I took my cousin up there with me to Norwich and purchased selenite, black tourmaline, and black onyx as well as a mini satchel, and a depression aid kit. 

Sunday: I decided to make a mini jar of prosperity oil as I watched a video of someone else making one. I decided to make it my own because everyone has different ingredients. It is supposed to attract money and success into your life. The ingredients I added were: mint (money, prosperity), basil (money, success), cinnamon (prosperity, good luck, energy), sesame oil (creativity, passion, money, success), patchouli essential oil (money, wealth, prosperity, material goods), sugar (fast acting agent). It was recommended to leave the oil to sit for two weeks so it can absorb all the herbs within the oil. I also went to Walmart and bought a nice lamp and a daylight bulb so that I can do my makeup in my room without the shitty lighting. When I tested it out, it was amazing and I was obsessed. It is amazing for photos as well as doing makeup. Later on this day, I organized my desk area to accommodate space for my makeup, shop items, school items, and machinery. It felt really good to do this.

Monday: Today marked the start of my weeklong Summer break before going back August 31st. I also slept the whole day because I was really tired. When I woke up, I went to Walmart and bought a nice wok for only $6. It’s 14 inches and I made vegetable fried rice with it, it is a dream to cook on. 

Tuesday: Today my HTV sheets arrived. After work I went to Walmart and got a nice clothing rack to hang my products on, it was only $9 and was easy to assemble. I also assembled it myself while my boyfriend went out and did whatever. I also bought 6 shirts, 3 med, and 3 large. I tested out the HTV by printing one of my popular designs onto it and applying it with the heat press. It was a hot peel unlike my other transfer sheets which were cold peel. There was a definite quality difference and it was easy to use. I was very scared to peel it because I messed up every time before. At first, there was some product coming off but I put it back down and put the heat press on it again. Eventually it came out nice and it is currently hanging on the rack waiting to be sold. I started my bullet journal today with the one I bought a few weeks ago when I noticed my current notebook getting filled up. It’s initial intention was to be exactly like my current notebook, but then I decided I wanted to make it a bullet journal and (actually use it this time) and make it look really pretty. As always, if I don’t “vibe” with a journal or a notebook, I tend to not use it or want to use it. It originally was very plain blue with a quote on it. I felt that I would not vibe with this so I added some personalization to it with stickers I had and even added one of my own. Finally putting a use to all the unused stickers I have (that are not mine). I did also make some sticker designs because I’ve been putting it off. I made 3 sticker designs. I thought they turned out really nice. However, when I printed them, they didn’t have a nice quality. It was solely due to the fact of how I was creating them (my art software that does not have transparency, which is essential for sticker making). I attempted to use scissors to get rid of the nasty border and used an exacto knife for the insides, and I accidentally cut myself on it, so great. 

Wednesday: Today was a pretty good day actually. At work, things went smoothly. I was the order taker, and normally it feels like the shift goes by forever but it wasn’t that bad this time. I was the one in charge so I made sure everything was done for the next shift and that everything went by smoothly and answered any phone calls and whatever. Later on this day, I was fed up with my designs not being the best quality that it can be. I decided to check out the Apple website because I love seeing their products, they’re so nice and smooth. I ended up applying for an Apple Card (which before I was denied 3 times), I actually got approved this time which is amazing! So, due to that, I was able to finance a brand new iPad Air 2019 and the first gen Apple Pencil. It is only $47 a month for both so it really is not bad at all. I am planning on canceling my gym membership, because I don’t even go, and honestly I feel I am content with my body right now and I don’t need a gym to get exercise. I still have yet to come into PF to cancel because you can’t do it over the phone. To make things better, before purchasing, I did do all the math to make sure I was financially stable especially for the upcoming weeks because I have bills due on the second week of September. I made a plan to save all my change to deposit into my account and to limit eating out to only once a week. (it shouldn’t be that hard). As of right now, my bills in tips that I make I will be depositing into my joint account to help pay for groceries because we are a little behind. I also consulted my friend Rheanna about the iPad because she has one for her shop. She has a different version but she says it is absolutely worth it and that I should definitely do it. So, in conclusion, it is a great investment for my business. Also, I would be using it for more than just that. I would be taking notes for school, grocery shopping lists, calculator as well (because with wearing face masks in the store, it makes Face ID unusable so it is a hassle to open the calculator, and the iPad I got has Touch ID instead) and much more. It is portable so I can draw anywhere literally. With my laptop PC and graphic tablet I can’t do that. I am actually very glad I got this and my pencil is supposed to arrive Thursday while it will take the iPad 2-3 weeks to arrive unfortunately. 

Thursday: Today, I was actually at work on time. Work went pretty smooth and I got everything done, there was no yelling at all or complaints. My coworker invited me to his upcoming event where people can be vendors and sell their shirts and other products. Showcase their shops kind of. He said he is planning on getting the permit to host the event in New London (which is the perfect place). Originally he said it would be a cash only event, but I suggested that a lot of people only carry card, like myself. I suggested that we accept Cashapp, PayPal and even get those tiny Square card reader things that plug into your phone. I also gave some more ideas. He said he would be having food catered to the event and I suggested that the vendors should also make homemade food to bring to cut costs on the event, as it will be free to get in. I suggested that when the advertisement begins, that I would help advertise as I have a big following on Facebook and I even said I would create a banner with a piece of every vendor’s art to show potential guests what they are in for. Eventually he asked me to help with the event, to which I said yes. I actually am very excited for this as it will be good business for everyone.

Week 3

This weeks workouts can be found here.

I’m also doing yoga for life three times this week.

My Inspiration for this week:

1) NANOWRIMO IS OVER AND I DID IT I WROTE 50 000 WORDS. Honestly the adrenaline high is going to get me through this week. I am not going to look at it again for at least 3 months though let me tell you.

2) My grandma is coming to visit and I am keen but it also means that I am going to be entertaining her constantly and I am an introvert okay I need time to recharge. Exercise is going to be my excuse free recharge time.

3) I watched The Accountant. Listen I loved it. So much. I got my url from the movie. I went and watched it again twice. Be careful watching it thought there’s a lot of triggering stuff and flashing lights and loud noises. The main character is autistic and gets ‘conditioned’ by his father which was really upsetting to watch because it’s not addressed as fucked up in the movie. But it was still exciting for me to see an autistic main character.

Week 2

This week’s workouts can be found here 

I’ll also be doing one session of yoga. When I decide which day to do it I’ll post where you can find it.

My Inspiration for the week:

1) That webcomic I was reading? Turns out that a lot of the second chapter is posted on Patreon, and you only have to be a $1 pledge to get it??? Like, that’s amazing. AND IT GETS SO GOOD. So I upped my pledge to $5 because it’s honestly the only thing I am genuinely excited about. So it’s an incentive to keep running, because if I quit I have to stop being a patron and I do not want that at all. 

2) NaNoWriMo is nearly over and I am actually on track this year. I’ve found that thinking about it during my runs has been super helpful for plot points and I’ll take inspiration anywhere I can get it even if that means fucking EXERCISE.

3) I accidentally messaged the wrong person and it was crazy embarrassing so I’m going to bury my mortification with sweat.

Week 1

This week’s workouts can be found here

My Inspiration for this week

1) Trump is the FUCKING president elect of the United States so in the event of an apocalypse it would be beneficial to me to be able to run faster than radioactive rabbits. Forget apocalypse though, day to day life would also improve if I was fitter because self defense is easier to do if you have muscles. 

2) My mom is overly invested in my life and has promised to buy me a decent pair of jeans if I make it to 5km.

3) I started a new webcomic before checking how much of it was out like a FOOL and there’s only one chapter of it and now I need a way to healthily disperse of my rage at the fact that I DIDN’T CHECK even though I Know that I Cannot Handle Suspense.

Day 33 (Week overview)

The week was pretty good, though, I gotta say, it was tiring. Usually, I don’t do much physical stuff, so going this month from nothing to workouts + streching + lots of dancing was kind of a shock to my body. I’m exhausted, but I’m happy I’m doing SOMETHING this summer and not wasting it like I used to ^.^ 근데 피곤해서 죽겠다! (don’t know if I remember this right) I managed to do arm and leg muscle and streching exercises, plank for 40 seconds in the mornings everyday, finished talktomeinkorean.com level 3! 아싸! I was supposed to do the plank for 30 seconds in the evenings as well, but I messed up for the first two days and yesterday 😅 I changed it to 42 seconds for the rest of the days to make it count for the first two, but because I missed it yesterday, it was a fail… but I’ll try it next week again! Didn’t manage to finish “Monster” choreo, the rap part doesn’t stick to me :/ MY SLEEPING SCHEDULE WAS STABLE, YAY ME! ☆Did all the exercises I mentioned ☆Learned new Korean grammar ☆Listened to the level 3 dialog (+understood it quite well, not like word to word, but like the general story and most sentences in general ^^)
