It's Friday night... we still don't have a president-elect, and it's starting to get annoying (LOL) sorry but it's true! I understand, we need to count all the votes but wow, what a goddam week.
It was filled with a lot of emotions, uncertainty, self-care, and weirdness. I feel like this week was 15 days long. At first, I tried to step away from the news... Tuesday night I went to sleep at 9 PM and woke up every hour to text messages from my friend giving me updates. But after Wednesday night, I figured we'd be in this for the long haul, and here we are.
As I write this, it's actually the first time I put on the news... I've always been the type of news consumer that likes to read the news instead of listening or watching it. It's clearly the college journalist and writer in me. I've been following a few key journalists who are updating purely on the numbers and refreshing The New York Times every 5 seconds... no lie.
Serious news aside, the memes have been on point. TikTok is on fire and it truly has brought me so much joy. In times of despair, the Internet can seem like a really horrible, dark place but if you look in the right places, you can find a lot of humor and levity.
All of that being said, I'm really ready for the weekend because I need some sense of normalcy. I just want to go to the gym, run some errands, and get my life in order. I feel like life was put on hold *again* this week and I need to just get it together.
Sale of the Week
Ok, let's get into it...but first, Stoney Clover Lane is having a 20% off sale tomorrow, Saturday, November 7th. It starts at 10 AM EST and ends at 10 PM EST. They NEVER do sales and this is replacing their Black Friday sale so it's the perfect time to get something or stock up! I've done two posts about SCL, filled with inspiration for pieces, recently, for their fall collection & the cozy collection, and have a few more posts in my LikeToKnowIt, so check it out and treat yourself.
Pink Positivity of the Week
I got *too many* online orders delivered but man, it felt good to be excited about material things! In reality, it felt good to go out and vote this week. I got emotional and it was so nice to see so many poll workers in good spirits. It was really wonderful.
