It’s 9:46 pm where I live, and guess who’s up typing her weekly blog post because she was crazy busy all day and procrastinated on pre-typing the blog post. (Hint: it’s me!) Since I’m exhausted off the wazoo, let’s get started so I can go to bed as soon as possible.
For reading, I’m still working on The Maybe Boyfriend by Christina Benjamin. I’m about 70% of the way through, and I’m hooked. If you want to keep up with my reading progress for any books, or to know when I start/finish a book before my Sunday Updates go live, go friend me on Goodreads (I believe I’m under Catheryn Bolick).
For my bullet journal this week, I have crafted THE CUTEST spread ever, featuring mason lanterns, fireflies, fairy lights, and gold glitter washi tape! Keep an eye on my Instagram (@thebooklioness) for a picture! I love the way my budget page is working, even if I don’t completely like how the bottom turned out. I’m hoping to make a post about how I set up my first budget for those of you wanting ideas or tips.
For workouts, I have still been following Cassey Ho’s Blogilates POP Pilates Beginner’s Challenge. I missed my workout Wednesday because I was celebrating the Fourth of July, and I missed yesterday because of how busy I was. I did still get workouts in both days, I just didn’t do the Blogilates videos.
As for work, I’ve been really busy. Even when there are no patrons, I still have to manage all the chemicals, plan our end-of-summer party/in-service, get everyone’s last days, and a million other things. The craziness never ends, and I really need a break soon (which I will be getting in a few days since I’m going on a trip to Michigan)!
As for other miscellaneous things, Tuesday night I went to a devotional for college students and had fun, though I think I’m leaning towards the other Tuesday night service I went to the week before this past one. Wednesday I went to a local lake to go fishing and tube-floating with my mom and her boyfriend, and I’m the afternoon/evening we went to a neighbor’s house to celebrate the Fourth of July with good food and loud fireworks. Saturday night I got to go watch the Nashville Soccer Club play at the big football stadium in downtown Nashville with one of my closest friends; I had a blast and my voice is still recovering. The had a spectacular fireworks show afterwards. This evening, I went to a prayer and worship night that my campus ministry hosted, and it was very moving to see so many people all coming together to publicly pray for the students of MTSU. I managed to get on-stage and say a prayer of my own for girls struggling with their self-image, especially girls with eating disorders, which was a huge moment for me since I have pretty debilitating anxiety when it comes to public speaking, even more so when speaking about a topic so close to my heart. My friend, however, was there to support me afterwards, and I’m so very grateful that I met her. I hope the Lord moves on the campus of MTSU, and I hope to be a part of that change.
With that, I’ll close out this blog post.
If you are curious about my faith, or would like to learn more about who I believe in, please feel free to direct message me on Instagram.
I love you all and I hope you have a great week.
Catheryn ❤️
