Fridaze 054
Hey guys, happy Friday and happy Fridaze. I'm pretty proud to announce that I'm actually posting twice this week. As I mentioned last week, since I got my desktop, it's been really enjoyable sitting at my desk and typing away when I get home. Hopefully I can keep up with it, but I'm not putting too much pressure on myself. At the end of the day, this is supposed to be fun for me!
J's Birthday
This past weekend was J's birthday. I definitely spoiled him a bit with gifts, and then I made a reservation at this restaurant close to us that had great reviews. I'm sad to report that this place was super underwhelming. It was a little pricey, and the food was overly seasoned. I was definitely super disappointed, because I wanted J to have a good birthday dinner. What can I do? I tried my best!
Then on Sunday, his mom threw a lil family birthday get together for him. His sister with her kids, his cousin and uncle were all there. He seemed to have a good time though, so I'm happy.
Trying a new dentist
This week I tried out a new dentist! I haven't been happy with my old dentist for a while. She kept trying to push me to get veneers, when that's the last thing I wanted. Every time I was there (it was about two or three times) she would spend 30 minutes explaining why getting veneers would improve my smile. It made me so uncomfortable, that I didn't want to go back.
Well I went to this new dentist that was recommended to me by my aunt, and I loved them. They made me feel so comfortable and welcome. Overall a great experience!
feeling overwhelmed
I've been struggling a bit over the past few months. At first it was manageable, but I've been struggling a lot more recently, and it's gotten to a point where it's much more difficult to manage it. I'm working through it, but it's been pretty tricky. I've been trying to journal a lot and try to get through everything I'm feeling. Hopefully I feel better sooner rather than later.

I'm sorry you've been feeling overwhelmed. Sending you lots of love! Don't blog if you're not feeling it especially if you're feeling overwhelmed. Blogging should be fun not a chore.
That sucks that your dentist was like that. I had a bad experience with a dentist earlier this year and had to find a new one. I still haven't found one that I'm comfortable with but I have a new appointment scheduled in September and I'm hoping that they're cool. ♥

I hope your new dentist is better! It's honestly been a game changer. I definitely have not been putting too much pressure on myself to blog. I think my life has been overwhelming in other ways, and blogging has been a bit of an escape, aha. Thank you so much for the kind words xx
