Hey Friends! How’s it goin?
It feels like an age since I sat down for some uninterrupted blogging time. The last 2 or 3 weeks have probably been the busiest of my life and there was barely any time left over for blogging. Case in point: It’s Saturday and I’m doing a Friday Five post π³
Anyway, if you read my thinking/ranting out loud post from late last month, this is gonna be an update on that. So here goes:
5 Things I’ve Accomplished Recently
1. I’m no longer homeless
I lived on a friend’s couch for more than a week in between moving out of my old place and finding a new place to live. I had a lot of fun living there cuz her house is board game central (any Dominion players out there?) but I’m pretty happy that I was able to move out before school started.
My room is still a giant mess, but the kitchen is in order! It isn’t anywhere near magazine worthy, but I can already tell it’s gonna serve me well π
2. I’m cooking and eating well again
I mentioned in August that my eating habits had become horrendous and unfortunately that didn’t change until recently. I prepped the eff outta my meals on Monday and I’ve been eating like a (healthy) queen ever since.
Get a load of this pizza I made on a whim on Wednesday. Not bad for a first attempt, if I do say so myself. And yep, I put ketchup and mustard on my pizza- it’s a Trini thing.
3. I got a new laptop
Do you hear the angels singing?!? I finally bit the bullet and got a new laptop during the last week of August. It’s so freeing to be able to use the computer without fear of the blue screen of death!
4. I finally made it to the Farmers’ Market
This has been a goal of mine for about two years and I think it’s safe to say I’ve procrastinated enough π³
I didn’t end up buying a whole lot but here are a couple of my favourites from my mini-haul:
5. I’m back in the gym
I’d been skipping the gym due to moving days and apartment viewings but I was extra frustrated about my homelessness one day and I knew an intense workout was exactly what I needed. So I made time for one and I’m so glad I did. I actually found a place the next morning!
My new place is about 2 blocks from the gym so I made it 4 out of 5 mornings this week as well.
Side note: I’m definitely gonna stick to morning workouts cuz they’re da bomb. I don’t have to wait on machines, dodge sweaty bodies or deal with people hovering while I finish my sets. Sounds like workout bliss to me π
What about you?

Wow, that’s a lot. I wish I can that much in a month. You are so inspiring.
Girl, get it! These are such wonderful things to have accomplished! Keep kicking ass. π
Dang, girl! You’ve been busy! I’m so jealous of the new laptop- mine won’t hold a charge. So I always have to use my home computer (which is a Mac- so I can’t really complain). π Have a great weekend!
Wow, you are making some great, positive changes! Good work!

Working out in the morning is the way to go! I do a boot camp class at 5:30 and it allows me to have so much more time during the day that I would have “wasted” at the gym.
You’ve been busy! Congrats on all the new starts!
Oh my goodness, I much prefer morning workouts as well…my whole day goes better when I workout first thing in the morning!

Good article. I saw something about a blog break, and it made me think about writing. Some people take breaks because theyβre busy or out of ideas. But what about students who always struggle with essays? Are there writers who can help them get started again?
Taking a break from writing can be helpful, but for students who always struggle with essays, it can be frustrating. For this purpose, there is an essay writer https://domyessay.com/ it can be very useful. Their professional writers can guide students and help them improve their writing skills. I am sure that you will take many benefits from this.
