Mar. 4th, 2021 08:21 amAh, the sun is growing in strength!!! A few birds have come back and they have been waking me up in the morning. I am not complaining at all-the older I get the more I love waking up early and having alone time.
I've passed by certification exam! It's an entry level cert. for the HR field but still-anything is better than customer service, retail or dealing with insurance companies and Medicaid ever again.
Been busy doing a deep cleaning and decluttering of the apartment and storage room. Only one big task a day because otherwise it becomes overwhelming and I get frustrated. Especially with the closets there is so much stuff that no longer fits, is worn out, etc. I have a hard time letting go of clothes, my mind tells me I was DIY or save the fabric for something else. The truth is I'm 90% likely to never do it. A) I don't own or have space for sewing machine and supplies B) There are other crafts I prefer to sewing tbh
So yeah, off the the thrift they go!
Speaking of hobbies, I have come to the conclusion that I need to go on a no-buy for paper crafting supplies. I have at least $1k worth of markers, stickers, markers, stencils, journals, cardstock, etc. Aside from the environmental waste aspect, I just hate that the influencer trend is invading online creative spaces. A few bigger companies have "squads" that they send enormous boxes of product, simply so they can advertise new releases to their followers. Then us lowly consumers end up paying more for product to offset the cost of YouTube PR. I really hate social media these days :/
Today I have an appointment for something that I've wanted to take care of for awhile now. It is elective and kind of expensive but the benefits are worth it for me <3
