Long Weekend

Ah, long weekend. It was nice to wake up and not think about my chores because I still have one extra day to do them. And it's cold and raining (a rainy week, actually) so I really cannot be bothered to do anything.

Well. Except for a few things:

1. Catch up with my reading challenge. I am so behind my goal. Ack. Hopefully, I can finish 2 books this weekend. (3 books, if I am being really ambitious but let's settle for 2.)
2. Catch up with my series. This one will be tough. I watch so many series. Gee. Aiming to finish 1-2 seasons of a show. (Hello, butt sore.)
3. Something creative. I am dying to do this. You know, something visual. And artsy. Or something different to what I do on a daily basis, basically.
4. Organize. (My life? Lol.) My closet (Scary sh*t! HAHAHA!), documents that I just shoved in my "To File" and "To Do" folder on my desk for months now and my receipts for tax season next month.
5. Study/Research. Something to do with French and art.
6. Write. Write - not blog (But here I am, sitting in my white, leather executive chair and blogging). Sometimes, I feel my writing skills are off and it is something I want to get back into. I am not a brilliant "writer" but when I write, the words used to just flow out of me. These past few years though, it was not the case. I am not even inspired to write (or to even blog) anything, despite all the thoughts and ideas running through my head. Heck, even my Instagram captions are boring. No matter how cheesy or childish my 'Dear Diary' days were, I miss pouring my heart out and writing all those random thoughts away without filtering it. Expressing those raw feelings and thoughts into paper not only helped me hone my writing skills but it was also therapeutic. At the moment, however, I am using the Day One Journal app, which I mentioned in a previous entry. I was this close to purchasing a journal and a pen -- Leuchtturm 1917 in rose gold and Pigma Micron Pen 0.05, to be specific -- last night but I stopped myself. I don't want to get too excited or overwhelm myself and end up not using it. I want to take things slow and get my groove back in writing first. I've been only using the app almost a month now and so far, so good.
7. Meditate. Meditation is something I've been wanting to try. I used to think meditation was something I will never be interested in but when I grew older (a bit? Ha-ha), I realized it would be interesting to learn and to do. The world is crazy and I just want a few minutes of calmness before or after I deal with all the crazy that is happening in the world. Hence, I downloaded an app called Headspace. It's a free app (You can also access it through the website) that guides/helps you meditate, like your very own "mind personal trainer."

(And then chores in between. Of course. Duh. #adulting)

So yeah, cheers to the freakin' weekend!
