Bouncing Back & Life Balance

Finally, the weekend! Still not feeling 100% great, but we're getting there. So thankful I work from home and don't have to do manual labor, but the brain is also not at its finest so it could be draining. Perks of WFH - I'm gross and stinky, but can still go to work. Non-perks of WFH - I'm gross and stinky and still have to go to work.  I'm pretty much behind everything I want to get done, but I think pushing myself during work days and barely sleeping definitely kicked my immune system to the garbage.

Hans & Ein says...

Before we move forward, the puppers wanted to share some love ♥

I'm really grateful having Hans and Ein with me during this whole ordeal. They give me a reason to move and get up, while it's hard, it gives me purpose and not just be depressed and sad doing nothing. I mean, that's pretty much the whole week aside from work and very minimal cooking. Very happy Bear made some yummy burgers too. Got to say my husband makes the best burgers!

Been also thinking about making real Hans & Ein stickers! So many plans in my head - so little time.

Time for some self love.

It's a little hard to appreciate yourself when you're sick, I get it. I, personally, felt useless and helpless and I really hate that feeling. I also don't really like telling people when I'm at my worst because let's face it - there's really nothing anyone can do and if I needed help I would reach out or to go the proper people to help (e.g. a doctor). I wish people would understand that I don't like being helped not because I'm proud nor because I'm being arrogant. I feel more pressure and more stress when everyone is trying to give their instructions and opinions about what I should do during certain struggles, not just being sick. The stress level just skyrockets and it gets more difficult if not the worst.

I love pampering myself, so let me help myself when I have to. I will get in touch with those who can be of assistance when needed. I really hope will stop taking my actions personally. I'm pretty much someone who couldn't care less, but it does get annoying.

So now, let me unstink myself and have a good warm bath.

I actually thought I got some body scrub but I ended up getting body polish. I honestly have no clue what it is and what it's for. I followed the instructions and it felt like using lotion in the shower, but it did feel good so I guess it works?

And of course, what better way to spend the evening than using random filters on your camera shy husband :)
