The Friday Edit: Vol. 9

What I Did//

The last two weeks have been absolutely bonkers, I am back to volunteering remotely and I spend so much time in meetings now. At work, after work, it’s nearly 8, 9 pm by the time I get done. I’m not mad about it, but it has been a lot lately. I also feel like I’m falling behind on everything in my apartment. It really has me questioning how I did it all, in person with commuting, pre-pandemic. Part of that has culminated in me missing at least one post, if not more than one, each week.

I am also gagging for something fun, a night out, a little bit of light debauchery. Just some fun.
