1. Dressing For Summer
Don't get me wrong, I am a summer girl! I love the heat and the sunshine. But, getting dressed this time of year is difficult. I'm constantly wearing moisture wicking workout clothes instead of 'real clothes'. So, just trying to make an effort to still put an outfit together from time to time...I really liked this one!
2. Gallery Wall
I mentioned in my last Friday Five post that I had been rearranging and changing things up around the house. One of the things I have been wanting to do is take down our stair gallery wall. A tough decision because I love photos so much and it was also a big deal to measure this wall out when we put it up. But, I've felt that it was time and finally took it down. Command strips for the win! Our house is just so compact, and I felt that this was cluttering it up. Now that it's down, I'm really happy with the blank space. We have plenty of pictures still up!
3. A Sweet Note
When we went to Disney last week, we stayed at my sister's house the night before we left. My nephew Lennox had this little sign up for me since we would be sharing a room. I just melt at stuff like this! Most kids do a Keep Out! sign or No Girls Allowed!..not Lenny. He's so sweet and I loved being roomies with him.
4. This Week's High
I'll be honest. I struggled to come up with a high. It's been ROUGH. I lost my dog sitter for an upcoming weekend, and it was unexpected. After a search online, I panicked because the surge pricing for a holiday weekend is insane in our area. For someone I don't know. I have two amazing dog sitters we use and love who were unavailable - the one that canceled on me was our back up's back up. I even started searching for pet friendly Airbnbs to take them with us and trying to figure out how that was going to work. Anyway, I randomly reached out to a friend who I hoped would be around, and she lovingly agreed to come stay with the pugs. Such a relief, and you better believe she is getting the biggest gift basket ever.
5. This Week's Low
This entire week was a LOW. I have been extremely unwell since last weekend. After a trip to the doctor, and testing negative for all the things - he diagnosed me and Blake with just some kind of virus. It's been terrible. I've basically been on the couch for 6 days straight, with zero energy. Also, I ended up having to go to an Urgent Care because my ear had me coming unglued. I had suspected it was infected, but my primary doctor didn't see anything. By the next day it was so painful, I could hear every pulse of my heart. It was indeed infected. Trust your gut people!
I don't even want to talk about my mental state 😂. When it rains it pours. It's been a very stressful week, and being unwell made it all worse.
Interestingly, my Oura ring knew I was sick before I did. It's fascinating! About 2 days before I had the first symptom, it warned me that my body was showing major signs of strain. It's been very accurate. You can put your ring in 'rest mode', and it will still monitor your vitals but not push you to be active. So nice!
Happy Friday!
