5 things for Friday (vol. 15)

I’ve survived my first week back at work after two weeks of holiday! Truth be told, it was great to get back and see everyone, sit still, and just feel productive again.

Orange Nails

I had painted my nails a hot pink glow-in-the-dark colour before leaving for the cruise. By the time I got home, they were removed and I was ready for my next set.

I decided I’d go with orange, partly because I’m inspired by all the fall/autumn colours I’m seeing online, and partly because of Halloween this weekend. It’s on theme!

The colour I chose was actually a colour-changing colour, which I only remembered halfway through. My sister-in-law had the same one and it barely changed colour for her.…

5 things for Friday (vol. 12)

Last night, Friday night, I grabbed my laptop with the intention of writing this post. And instead, I put it back down, went to bed, and had a much-needed 8-hour sleep.

Let’s take a look at the randomness of this week.

I started making a shadowbox

I’ll write about this more in a 52 wrap-up, but this week I started making my shadowbox. I downloaded a design on Etsy and started cutting it out.

Unfortunately, my Cameo cutter didn’t cut all the way through on some more intricate cuts, so I’m tracing those with my craft knife.

But I started putting the layers together; here’s a sneak preview.

One watery eye

Does this ever happen to anyone else? I was working out this week on the bike, and only one eye started watering.…

5 Things for Friday (on a Saturday)

I missed publishing my post yesterday, mainly because it was such a hectic day that after work I ended up on the couch falling asleep on my husband’s lap. But I wanted to get this posted, so here we are.

No sinus surgery required

A few weeks ago I mentioned going to see my doc for a few things, one of them being my sinus. I was told when I was young I had a deviated septum, and as an adult sometimes breathing through my nose is tough. So we decided to get it checked out, especially since I tend to get sinus infections semi-regularly.

Well, it turns out that I don’t have a deviated septum, nor any polyps, or any other reason that I need surgery.…

Five Things for Friday (vol. 9)

I’m typing this late on Friday night, when I should be in bed, and sleeping.

But… I’m not.

Earlier, I was watching Phil Gore crack 168k in fundraising by running crazy miles. Right now I’m watching the Alex Warren concert being livestreamed on TikTok. It’s a watch party with a friend of mine who lives in Japan.

So, why not get my Five Things for Friday done on time as well?

Ordered my 2027 planner

This morning, my favourite planner in the whole world launched their 2027 edition. If you haven’t heard of my favourite planner before, let me tell you (or you can probably read literally any other post of mine because it feels like I’m always talking about it).…

Five Things for Friday (vol. 8)

You guys, it’s been a week. I’m tired. I’m ready for bed. But I haven’t blogged in a few days so I wanted to get one posted tonight.

I’ve been trying to prioritise sleep, because most of this week my “sleep” has been more like “intermittent dozing between coughing”.

The sinus infection is still here

I want to say I’m getting better, but I don’t know. I suppose the green gunky stuff isn’t as green and gunky, so there’s that.

But I’m still taking forever to get to sleep, and I’ve nearly gone through an entire bottle of cough syrup on my own this week. I’m taking one of those fancy dry cough ones that contain dextromethorphan. Apparently, it turns off the cough signals in the brain, to which my brain just replies with “Ha!…
