I spent this week between Baltimore and DC helping out family friends with the kids while they look for houses for their upcoming move and dealing with my own move back to DC. It’s definitely been hectic but also productive, I feel like the apartment is slowly coming together, all of my stuff is back from California and I finally have my bed set up and my mattress back from storage (thank you Aaron!). I’m planning to spend most of next week getting everything put away and really cleaning everything, then the fun part starts… organizing and decorating. At some point, once I can gather my thoughts about my move(s), I’ll do a post on it, but let’s just say for now that it has been an emotional few months with more than a few days that I wish I could have cancelled and while it’s definitely been challenging, I wouldn’t trade or change this journey for the world!
Before we dive into your weekly dose of procrastination with link love vol 23, here’s a little peak into what’s going on behind the scenes over here and what I’ve been doing!
eating // avocados… when I can find them. One thing I’m definitely missing about San Diego is being able to find good avocados, I’ve been eating them for lunch lately with a little lime juice, salt and red pepper flakes. So good!
reading // I just started The Nest and love it so far! I’m shooting for a book a week this summer (at least until I start working)
watching // Peaky Blinders on Netflix. Seriously stop what you’re doing and go watch it. Now.
trying // to exercise more, this is a constant battle for me. Ever since finishing Dopey last winter I’ve had a really hard time getting back into a routine. Marine Corps Marathon is around the corner though so I’m trying.
feeling // still feeling a bit overwhelmed, I hate moving.
working on // setting up and decorating my apartment in DC so it feels like home. Right now the focus is getting the piles of stuff out of the living room.
excited // to be back in DC, I didn’t realize how much I loved this city until I was gone and I’m enjoying being back, it’s been such a fun summer so far I just wish the humidity would go away!
loving // ClassPass and Fly Wheel
