#SelfCareSaturday: The NightTime Edition

Happy #SelfCareSaturday, y'all!

So it's a bit later than usual for me to be posting, but I wanted to get one up 

My self-care plans today were interrupted by work, but it wasn't too bad. We were pretty busy so the 5.5 hours passed pretty quickly.

Anyway, my day more or less looked like this:

Woke up at 6 am because I thought I had work from 8:00-12:15
Looked at my calendar and realized I had work from 12:00-5:30, not 8:00-12:15
Went back to bed until 8
Woke up again and fed my mom's cats and ate my own breakfast and watched Thursday's episode of Grey's Anatomy
Went for a short run outside. A little less than half an hour because I had time constraints with my work shift.
Came back inside for a shower
Made rice and a little package of Bombay Potatoes (which you can buy in like pre-made microwaveable packages and it's life) for my lunch
Watched more television that I didn't get to watch when it was on but was on the DVR
Went to work from 12-5:30
Came home and made tiny [vegan] pizzas on homemade bread made my mom's friend Mike

And I've been pretty much just chilling since then. I did a puzzle on my iPad and have been watching a tv show called "Murder Made Me Famous," which talks about famous murder cases. Right now I'm watching the one about Drew Peterson. I've also done a load of laundry which just finished drying so I'll probably grab that out of the dryer and put it away once I'm done watching this episode of murder made me famous then go to bed.

Yeah, that was pretty much my day. I hope everyone out there got a good self-care Saturday!

Happy Self-Care Saturday!

Good morning!

Happy #SelfCareSaturday!

I hope everyone's weekend is off to a great start! I got mine started off with a nice hour run/walk outside using CharityMiles to raise money for Girl Up!, an organization dedicated to empowering girls worldwide. Who says self-care can't also be helping others?

Anyway, other than that, today is looking like it'll be a pretty relaxing day for the most part. I mean, I have to go to the grocery store and get a few things, and I need to go pick up some cat litter and mouse food, but other than that, I will probably mostly be reading and getting cat snuggles.

I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but I'm currently reading Don Quixote  by Miguel de Cervantes, translated to English by Edith Grossman and it's going pretty well, but it's just such a long book that sometimes I get overwhelmed by reading it. My goal for today is to catch up on my scheduled reading, because I've fallen a few days behind (I think I've got Monday-today's pages to get through, so about 180 pages maybe, I'm trying to do an average of 30 pages per day this year to get through the 10,000-some pages in the 14 books I've selected to read throughout the year (though I've already surpassed the page goal and the total book count in books that I got sidetracked by)

I also plan to stop by the local library and try to get a library card. I'm not sure if I'll be able to, because my driver's license doesn't have my current address, and neither does my passport, so I have to locate some piece of mail I've received at the address in order to prove I'm residing in the city of Richmond. But hopefully if I can't get one today, I'll be able to get one within the next couple of weeks, because most of the rest of my books for 2016 are ones I don't have and will need to borrow from a library or else buy (I do have one of the books I planned to read this year on my bookshelf, so if not I can do that one next).

So yeah, that's about it for my plans today. I'm looking forward to a relaxing day off!
