In Over My Head

True Confession: I’m SO OVERWHELMED!!

I have been completely ignoring my blog because I haven’t had time to write anything meaningful. But then this morning I realized, isn’t blog short for “weblog,” which means I can just write about anything I want? Well… you’re about to get a (very quick) rant about how busy I am.

Here are a few things I’m doing/reasons I’m overwhelmed:

• Working my regular job Monday-Friday for most of my waking hours.
• Traveling for said job.
• Traveling for fun.
• Running 3 Instagram accounts (FOLLOW ME! @braidinmanhattan @longlegsbigcity)
• Trying to achieve my goal of 100 tweets/month.
• Attempting to monetize my braiding business. I have my first wedding with 11 bridesmaids and a bride in less than 2 weeks!
• Trying to keep up with this blog (failing).
• Cooking lunches for me and my sweet emoji boyfriend both for health reasons and $$$ reasons.
• Teaching classes at gyms. I taught 13 Spin classes in April, and I was out of town for 13 days of the month!
• Creating fun, new playlists for above spin classes.
• Planning my birthday, which is in 13 days (btw, I haven’t planned anything).
• Training for the NYC marathon.

Oh, and on top of all of that, I’m also job hunting, which is a full-time job in and of itself! Writing cover letters is VERY time-consuming. A friend said to me today that I live 9 lives. But unlike a cat, I’m living them concurrently, not consecutively. If you noticed that sleep was not on the list of things I’m doing, you’d be making a correct observation. Caffeine = good.

Also on my list of things I’m doing (although I know I swore I wouldn’t do it again!) is bullet journaling. I have changed the way I approach it, and I think it’s working so far. It helps me set goals for the week and the year, and feel accomplished in completing things, even if it’s not all of the things.

I owe you guys many blog posts, especially about my travels throughout southern Italy and in Montreal, and I will try to write them soon, but no promises! There are so many updates to give about my foray back into running (I signed up for my first race of the year!) and about my attempts at meal prep. Also, how to start a passion-driven business using solely social media and word of mouth! There will be some great content here… someday.

Thanks for sticking with me through this crazy time!
