Happy Sunday everyone :)
The eye roll emoji was used to preserve the “dad, you’re so embarrassing…” vibe, while still protecting their identity.

I slept 16 hours straight already and I still want to go back to bed. 🥱 I guess I’ll still smile tho. It’s probably just a little sunburn making me tired. 😴

Bonus content includes… mushrooms, butterfly, more mushrooms, Existential crisis cat.

This weekend was a VERY VERY MUCH NEEDED BREAK from work. I was just on vacation and the stress coming back was off the charts. I went foraging again this weekend but didn’t take any “before” pictures except for my shadow 😅 and the one spotted bolete. Part of my feeling more confident comes from the repeated exposure therapy I get from posting on selfie Sunday. Bonus cat protecting all my secrets.

I’m feeling much better than earlier this week. My cold is finally going away too. Went for a good hike in the heat ☀️ 🥾Worked up a good sweat and collected enough mushrooms for weekly meal prep 🍄🍄‍🟫. About to take a shower and then it’s time to cook 👨‍🍳🥘. If it looks good, maybe I’ll post some pics of the meals later. I don’t normally hike without a shirt but my sunburn is peeling and I didn’t want to stick to my shirt 😩

Selfie Sunday is helping me. Generally speaking, whenever I see a photo of myself, I usually feel like a goofy goober, a derp, an unkempt average weirdo, not attractive, at all, in any way. This is the FIRST photo I have ever taken where I ACTUALLY feel attractive AT ALL. It may just be a coincidence in the photo editing, but this is a milestone for me. One which I would not have achieved without this sub. Thank you to everyone whos participation has inspired me to participate 🫶

I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend! I’m being pulled in two directions. Major major major deadlines at work that conflict with my upcoming vacation schedule a week from now. 🤞🤞🤞wish me luck y’all.

I always look the same 😅
I had a good week and good weekend. I kept up with my chores for the most part. I went to the thrift store and came home with a new shirt and a rip-stick. Holy smokes those are weird to ride haha. I also made a great breakfast this morning. French toast with lychee berries, and weird but good dinner. Grilled Kabobs with pineapple, strawberries and honey.

I’m still burned out from working too much. It’s hard to feel positive when there is no help coming and no end in sight. I downloaded the finch app today to try to help me work on self care while I’m so overworked. It helped keep me hydrated, and it encouraged me to do one thing that made me happy. So I got outside and was lucky enough to see several deer 🦌 on the trail. Plus I heard the call of some kind of strange animal that I have never heard before 😅
Does anyone else use finch?

I burned out from working too much. When I work too much I end up mentally exhausted. Too tired to cook, clean, go for hikes, work in the yard/garden and even dulls the satisfaction and enjoyment of listening to music. So I eat bad food and end up scrolling social media unconsciously which makes me stay up late which deepens the exhaustion. BUT… The cats were thrilled to have me in bed catching up on rest this weekend, I managed to take my daughter bowling, fixed my brakes, and apparently I went on a hike that I absolutely do not remember doing. lol 😆
