Fridaze 060

Hellooo. Happy Fridaze! It feels like it's been a while since I've actually chatted with you all, even though it's only been a week? It's strange. I guess it's cause I've had the urge to write these last few days, and instead of blogging them away, I've been reaching more for my journal.

It's been comforting just dumping down all your thoughts, regardless if they make sense. I could be rambling (which I also do on here, but I try to be more organized on here with my thoughts), and it doesn't matter. It's nice! It also means that I'm actually almost done with finishing my current journal and starting a new one. There's something so refreshing about starting a new notebook, especially one that's full of such personal thoughts and feelings.

But let's go back to the subject at hand, and chat about the past week. Grab a cup of coffee or tea (I'm currently drinking some black coffee this morning), and let's get into this week's Fridaze!

last scraps of warmth

Last week was so chilly! Our temperatures were around 50s and 60s (10 to 15 C°), so I took out all of my fall jackets, and was ready for sweater weather. I don't know what happened this week, but we were back to high 70s and low 80s (21 to 27C°). I was already so mentally prepared for chilly weather, I was kind of upset by the weather change!

The bright side was that we ended the warm weather with lots of sun. Other than that, I was ready to start welcoming the beautiful autumn weather.

nick sleeps over

One of the nice things about J going on vacation is the fact that my brother came over! We had planned to play Stardew together, but we ended up watching anime all night. We started watching Seven Deadly Sins, and it was really good! I had never watched it before, but was always interested in starting. Out of all the things I miss about living with my family, one of the main things is having my brother as a roommate.

hangouts with the best

This Monday I also got the chance to hang out with Amanda! She has been one of my best friends since we were freshman in high school, so it's always nice to just sit down and have a genuine catch up. I always feel very lucky to have such close friends that I feel like I can open up to and not feel judged. I also like having friends who will tell me if I'm messing up or think I could have gone about something differently.

my therapist is leaving

This is really sad news for me. My current therapist is not going to be an adult therapist anymore. I've been with her for about 3 years now, so I know it's going to be a bit of a difficult transition. I'm nervous I'm not going to like my new therapist, so we'll see what happens.

I have two more sessions with my current therapist, so I'm going to make the best of it.

J comes back!

J finally comes back! I am so happy for him to be home. Luckily he doesn't have any more plans to travel for work soon, thank god (even though he played a horrible prank on me, saying he had to go back next week).

My first newsletter came out!

I mentioned the fact that I was going to restart my newsletter, and this Sunday, I released it! It was super nice to write something just because I wanted to. If you guys didn't get it and you want to, make sure you're subscribed! I'm already starting the one for November.

While things happened, it's been a quiet and comfortable week. Since J was gone, I spent a lot of time at home. To some extent, I loved it, but at the same time I had a bit of trouble with it. Initially it was tough to come home to quiet home everyday for so many days. I'm glad I finally embraced being home alone with Luca for those last few days. In the same breath, I'm so happy J's back! We have a full weekend of fun planned.

How was your week? Let me know. As always, have a wonderful Fridaze. Chat next week xx
