1- This week has been r o o o u g h.
I’m not going to dwell on the struggles I’ve had this week, but let it be known that I had them. Today is a new day, and next week is a new season. Also, call will be over on Monday morning. Onward.
2- Ariana Grande’s album came out on Friday and I really like the music, but also . . . she appears pretty ill, even for her. And that makes me sad. As does the fact that instead of owning up to that, the story was “I’m healthy!” up until she has finally announced a break. I think she’s an amazing vocalist and artist (you all know I wanted to go to her concert!) and I’ve found all of this depressing. I hope she is able to truly take a break and get the help she needs, AND I also really hope she can emerge with more honesty and integrity as well as a healthier appearance, because she has many many young impressionable fans.
3- I have not been even attempting to follow any of my August goals, nor have I worked out this entire week. See #1.
4- A starts orientation on Monday and A/C have their official ‘first day’ on Wednesday. I just sent in health forms. We have the bare minimum in terms of uniforms. One would think with all of this time at home (vs in Hawaii) I would be more ready, but honestly the weeks since Josh’s break have felt like a pretty frenetic blur, for the most part.
5- These are the only pix on my phone from the week:
PS: I tried out the Hobonichi app and it turns out I have NO DESIRE FOR A MEMORY KEEPING/JOURNALING APP ON MY PHONE. Literally, the last thing I want to do is to have some obligation to fill out planner spreads on my phone. I set it up and immediately deleted it. So I guess that is my review.

I’m sorry you’ve had a rough week! Mine has not been great either. I was supposed to fly home last night from DC but my flight was canceled due to an ATC outage. So now I won’t get home until 3 today and today was supposed to be my day off. I pushed it to next week so it’s not the biggest deal but it is annoying. Oh and my laptop screen cracked so I haven’t been able to do any work during downtime on this trip. Sigh.
I don’t follow Ariana but they talked about her health on a patreon post of The Popcast (my fave/only pop culture podcast I listen to). I hope she gets the help she needs. Like you said, she has a lot of young, impressionable fans. 🙁
I am glad you get a fresh start of sorts next week with the return to school!! I hope your call weekend isn’t terrible! And don’t feel bad about your August goals and not working out this week. Call week is a special kind of hell, it seems, so I’d aim to just get through the days and lower expectations!
