NEW POST! It Has Been Too Long

Good afternoon, y’all!
Hey y’all! I hope you are having a great day so far. This morning, I did a dance workout (talk about that more in a minute) and now I’m writing this for y’all! This morning I’ve got my water as my drink, and some fun Country Background music.

I also want to say some housekeeping things. If you have been a normal reader and are very confused why I didn’t post all week and now I am, this is the reason. I’ve had to take a step back from writing on my blog so much, so I’ve chosen to only post once a week, on Friday’s, so that I can get some other things done. Even then, I may have to change the schedule even more here real soon due to some other things. But right now, it is going to be once a week on Fridays. If you are subscribed to my newsletter, The Sugar Bowl (if you’re not, go and subscribe!), I didn’t post yesterday kinda with no warning. I didn’t have much to talk about and turned out not being able to post anything. And in the future, my newsletter may take a hit, but we will see if I can prep for them or not. If you want more day of information, go and follow the blog’s Instagram! I’ve been trying to get at least one post out a day. And if you didn’t see it, we went sort of viral! Well, Banjo did with currently 2.2k views. Don’t know if that is truly viral or not, but it’s exciting for me!

Now that those are out of the way, without further ado, let’s get into it!

 

Week Recap

Monday 2/16

On Monday, not much really happened. The only thing that really stood out was I picked up Divergent again! I started reading it a few weeks ago, but I didn’t choose to read more. That was until I was bored on Monday night, not wanting to go on my phone and I picked it up. And I haven’t been able to put it down sense. Haha! I have read the entire Divergent series before, but I wanted to go back to it and read it again. I forgot about so many different parts (that are in the book and not movies) that it was like reading it for the first time. When I first started reading, I had the mentality that when I finished a book or series, that was that. I wasn’t going to read it again because I have already read it. If you have the mentality I used to have, break it. Read your favorite series or books again! There is something that is so sweet feeling like I’m reading my favorite books for the first time. And if you don’t have any, the Divergent series or The Hunger Games series are both great!

Tuesday 2/17

On Tuesday I did a bit more. And it’s when I started doing dance workouts! Let me explain if you feel that you are in the dark on this. I made up the term, “dance workout”, but I feel it explains it very well. It’s where there are workout instructors on your tv through YouTube, but they are dancing/working out to fun and upbeat music. The channel I get mine from post just one song/workout per video, so I’ve made pretty much my own dance workout playlist, and I enjoy it SO MUCH! If you’ve always wanted to workout but it always seemed too difficult to get into, try this out! I was that way, and now every morning when I wake up, I’m looking forward to my dance workouts. Haha! Here is the YouTube channel I get mine from!

I also did some chores: dishes, laundry, picking up, the usual. But I also got an interview! I’ve been wanting to get back into working for multiple reasons, and I was stoked when I got an interview. I wish I could share, but you know, gotta keep the personal things out. I feel it went well though, and I should be able to know soon if I got the job or not!

Wednesday 2/18

On Wednesday, I did my dance workout when I got up early then I had to get ready for another interview again at the same company! After the one on Tuesday, right after we finished, she told me she wants to bring me back for another interview! I was so stoked, and I feel this one went well! If you want to know if I got it or not, I will probably post about it on Instagram if you want to know sooner if I got it!

After the interview, I came home and started on chores. I did: laundry, dishes, vacuumed and picked up. I then realized it was Wednesday and Banjo hasn’t had his wet food yet. He gets normal cat food during the week, but I give him a fun treat of wet food on Wednesdays. So, I got a can of wet cat food for Wet Food Wednesdays and gave it to him. But I did not just give it to him, no no. I made a reel for it, cause I’m filming real life and his too funny about it. And that dude so far has gotten 2.2k views. Guess I have a famous cat now. Haha! All because I filmed me giving him wet cat food and him jumpin’ around and screaming about it. Click here if you want to see my famous cat.

After, I wanted something more to do. I feel that because I workout every morning now, I want to be productive and be doing productive things all day. I walked around the house and when I went into my bathroom, I knew that was where I would spend my next hour and a half cleaning. Now, I do not have a big and fancy bathroom. It’s tiny but also perfect for the place we’re living in. But I have neglected cleaning it for maybe 2 months. I only say this to show others it is not just you. You’re not a failure cause you don’t want to, then don’t, clean your space. Others do it too, but what matters is biting the bullet and cleaning it. So if you have something you should’ve cleaned months ago but didn’t, I challenge you to do what I did. Bite the bullet, put your nose to the grindstone and just do it. Before I started, I thought this could be a double whammy. So, I set up my phone and started filming. Haha!

If you want to see me clean my bathroom and learn about one of my favorite podcasts, click here! If you’re curious, I posted the reel of Banjo 2 hours before I posted me cleaning the bathroom. Banjo’s now has the 2.2k views and mine has like 300 views or somthin’. Guess y’all just really like my silly cat! Haha!!

Thursday 2/19

On Thursday, I woke up and felt like running. The night before I was reading Divergent and I was reading about their training at one point. I thought it would be so much fun to take out Tucker and go on a little run. Now, I haven’t ran sense in high school (like 3-4 years now, which is nuts), so it was a short run, but fun. And did I mention we did it while it was pouring rain and 40 somethin’ degrees outside? Yeah, it was a workout, literally. Haha! But if you haven’t seen Tuck and I go on a run in the rain, click here to see that reel!

After coming inside, I didn’t have much to do. Dishes were fine, cleaning was fine, I had nothing to do but I wanted to do so much. Unfortunately, I was on the couch for most of the day after that. I also read though, so maybe that counts as something? Haha.

My mom came over though in the evening and brought some Chick Fil A with her for dinner. About every other Thursday, my mom comes over, bearing offerings, I mean food, and we chat. It’s nice getting that time with her, being able to bounce things off one another.

Talking with her actually gave me a grand idea that I could do with my yarn hoard. My thought is this: make a ton of stuff and go to a craft fair. And that is just what Imma do! Don’t know what craft fair I would go to or when, but it would be so much fun I think! If I had to choose, I would want to do it either November/December this year, or the same time but in 2027. But at least I have things to do when I don’t know what to do. Lol.

Today/Friday 2/20

Now today, Friday I have a list of things I want to do and things I have already done. I’ve already done my dance workout, but these are the things I want to accomplish today. I want to: apply to other/more places to work, read, brush Tucker and grind down his nails, and a few chores being: laundry, pick up, vacuum and dishes. Not a huge list, but it’s something I can do during the day!

I would love to chat with y’all more, but that’s been my week!

 

A Little Encouragement

Today’s Bible verse is 2 Timothy 1:5:
“I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well.”

 

I hope y’all enjoyed reading today’s blog post! The schedule will be kinda funky, but I hope you still come back to read! And remember, follow the blog’s Instagram to see and hear about things I’ve done sooner so you don’t have to wait for the next post! Bye!

With a Spoonful of Sweetness, Rachel
