Friday Feels

Somehow it’s the last Friday of the month and I truly cannot believe we’re just about 2 months into 2023. Honestly, what even is time?

The last week has been so full but in really good ways. We’ve spent lots of time with family and friends, celebrated my husband’s birthday, and had a little snow day moment.

There have been rumors of lots of changes at work (in all of my buildings) and I’m still not sure how to feel. I think we all know those conversations can be a bit interesting. Do you deal with change well? Traditionally I do not, but I’m hopeful for the changes that are ahead for myself in the coming year.

After this somewhat go-go-go week, I’m VERY ready for a chill weekend. And that’s exactly what we’ve got planned.

If you missed out on the conversation (or any other content from this week), I’ve got it all compiled here.
