This week did not get off to a pleasant start. Without going into too much detail, let’s just say I was the conductor of the hot mess express and my best friend is the craziest passenger of all. (this week)

Every time I get stressed out, I get sick. This weekend was no exception. Went through the wringer on Sunday and Monday, and Tuesday I woke up b e y o n d sick. I made it into work, but only for three hours, before I had to call it quits.

I’m not here *just* to complain + vent, but let’s be real – sometimes, it’s just necessary. Not to mention, I’m in the university library, and screaming four letter words at the top of my voice would be highly frowned upon right now.

When things are going so well, it can be a bit more difficult to deal with the bad. I’ve felt nothing but great since my flare + getting nothing but good news either. Of course the bad is going to stick out a little more than usual in the midst of all this greatness.

Thankfully, the semester is *almost over and I’m super excited to start my summer. I’ve hinted a couple of times that I’ve got some amazing stuff going on with Stumble Pup soon. We’ve also got some summer plans coming up. I need out of this cornfield, and fast.

With summer right around the corner, school letting out any day now, and better weather on the horizon, hope is e v e r y w h e r e. I’ve just been a little too sick to look that far; when your back feels like it went a few rounds with Rousey, it’s easy to get stuck focusing on just that.

But, I’m Almost There. I just keep repeating this to myself, because any day now, I’ll finally get there. Wherever that is.

What do you do to remember it’s just an ms’ey day, not necessarily an ms’ey life? Drop your tips below!
