Spring please

This week was my first week out of training! I had a rough day during the week but quickly picked myself back up after and learned so much.

It's definitely a challenge to work remotely. It's easy to feel like you don't have any support as you're not working with colleagues physically. I'm enjoying working remotely but this is something I am understanding as I work more. I'm really grateful that we have ways of communicating though even though we are remote, and it doesn't rely on emails, so it's almost like having everyone there at your fingertips :)

Anyway, this weekend was a quieter one and I went out for a bit longer.

Friday - Had dinner and went to go return my headset. I did so much research over the week and found out that the mic quality of the headset isn't the greatest... and I ended up buying a pink headset :D

Saturday - Went to OEB for brunch, had the upstream benny with the bae, and it was so nice outside so we walked to the mall. I went to Simons for a bit and to the bank. It was a really nice day. Looked at glasses and clothes for the rest of the day and had instant ramen and steamed veggies for dinner. Also cleaned the house and did a bit of ingredient prep for lunches this week. I also asked for a refund for an item of clothing that I didn't receive from an order I had placed. I was really looking forward to the item, but it also looks like it's no longer in stock, so I went with the option to get a refund.

Today I was going to have a freelance meeting, but we're going to reschedule later in the week. I also thought about some things I'd like to stock up on... but I can just do that when I run out of those items. I'm trying to be a little bit more minimalist. My closet is growing though... I'm starting to want lots of florals and pastel clothing. I could do another closet purge but I keep thinking that I may want to wear these again for another occasion. I guess the influx of my desire to want more various types is because everyday is casual Friday for me... lol.

Anyway, the items I am looking to stock up on are: shampoo, cotton pads, and coffee. We just drank our last bit of McD's coffee today so I thought I would go out for a stroll to grab some Fratello coffee after writing this post. I also want to get some sandals for the spring, and maybe some lighter coloured sneakers.

I also need to re-organize our shoe area today too.

I worked on getting my portfolio site back... just need to wait a bit to see if my domain will be back too though. I'm going to download everything and then move to a free host. I just haven't had the time and energy to work on my portfolio site, so I think it's time that I take that expense out. I had to pay my invoice but there is a 30 day money-back guarantee, so hopefully I can try that. It also looks like my hosting provider has updated their servers... so I'll see how it is so far and make my decision based on that... most likely leaning towards free, though!


I'm a bit lazy to go to the mall to go look at shoes. I heard it was going to snow again tomorrow so... maybe I will wait until the nice weather sticks around :)

I need to work on waking up earlier on weekdays. It's so tough for me since my schedule has been all over the place for the last 3 months.... I found this week was toughest because I kept trying to rush through breakfast, when I really shouldn't be doing that.

Going to go grab the coffee beans now. And maybe some PB2 for our smoothies!
