Well, it looks like we are in for a stressful Monday, another Black Monday they are calling it and based on the markets that are already into Monday morning it is pretty scary.
Circuit breakers being triggered is a big “oh shit”.
Hold on my friends, it’s going to be quite the ride.
It would be really nice to be able to go to bed without anxiety about what happened that day and what will inevitably happen the next day.
Moving on.
After my computer died on me spontaneously a month ago I have been super diligent with doing my time machine backups.
On my old computer, the backups took forever which probably had to do with the software issues that it always had, so I would often skip a backup if it was taking too long and I wanted to shut it down for the night.
But now I keep the external hard drive always plugged in to do multiple backups throughout the day.
Which was why I noticed that it hadn’t backed up in a couple of days and I thought maybe my external hard drive crapped out as well.
Luckily it was just the cord which I replaced for $6 after having to reverse image search it to figure out what kind of cord it was.
It was a micro B if anyone cares. So a cheap fix versus a whole new external hard drive.
I also purchase myself a new yoga mat because, the day of reckoning has come and I need to get my shit together healthwise and yoga and long walks are a good way to slowly get back into it.
I also have a handful of Zara returns that I will maybe do tomorrow, because I want my summer wardrobe to be great with no meh pieces.
Too often it is easy to get sucked into the mediocre, good-for-now pieces. Think long-term people, not just good for the moment.
Anyway, there was a nice dress, 100% cotton which is something that I seek for the hot as shit and need something cool and easy kind of summer days, but I already have some pieces that fit into a similar box so I don’t need it.
Once upon a time I would have said, the more the merrier. Not in the current financial uncertainty.
Save the money for a special or necessary piece. Although, I did visit COS again and no they did not have the dress that I had been hoping to get.
I feel like I shouldn’t hold my breath over this one, but we are not fully into the spring and summer clothing season yet so I may have a chance still.
That being said, I should probably pull everything out of my closet and clean and organize it a bit and purge as well as the season starts to turn over.
It moves pretty quickly from jacket weather to, “gross I am sweating, weather” here.
I feel like my feet have got bigger over the past few years. Like between an 8 and 8.5 instead of the full standard 8 I have been forever.
This means that I have a small collection of shoes that are just too snug and need to go. I am just trying to figure out the best way to do this.
But I did get a new pair of badass kitten heels in outfit 1, from Maguire shoes (Canadian brand) that I included in this capsule. They also sell them at Nordstrom.
I got a size 39.
I also wish I was better at getting organized. I could probably rule the world if I could just get my shit together 😉
