Made it to Friday

Quick massive decompress

Very premature and maybe overly keen sentiment seeing as the day we are sitting in as I type out this post, sitting deflated on my armchair in my underclothes having just gotten back from the office and immediately undressed, is Thursday. but, this week has been a gruelling one and so I need this premature celebration, so,

thank, god, we made it to friday!

I have to be honest, I struggled a little this week with procrastination and feelings of general hopelessness social anxiety and lack of joy, but i got my period this morning and it all makes a little more sense. I read somewhere that each phase of our menstrual cycle brings with it such a changing cocktail of hormones and their effects are so strong they can make us feel like different people at each stage. Here is some guidance to caring for yourself at each phase.

So after my meetings today I gave myself the grace to skip out on after-work drinks, came home, bought myself a delicious new novel on the way

Gonna jump in the shower, put on my PJ’s and call it a night

Sharing: me on armchair, work clothes hanging & resting (they had a long day too), the new novel, and the kittens that this publication is named after. My repeat listening: illicit affairs by taylor swift (ANGRY version from the eras tour)

Have a wonderful wonderful Thursday eve, Friday when it comes, and please prioritise a restful weekend x
