It's late, but it's here! 😅 Last month was just not a great month for me—it was very stressful. I was working nights AND there was work being done around the house (our flooring was finally put in!) and I think I just needed a break. During that time, I barely read anything and my nails were naked for like 2 weeks straight 😱 The horror! Lol. In all seriousness though, I feel like not doing those two things really affected me more than I thought it would. I mean, I was stressed AND was probably not getting enough sleep, and then unintentionally taking away the two things I use to de-stress? Yeah, not great.
That being said, I am back on the reading train (I'm currently on my 5th book of the month!), and I've been painting my nails a lot more, which is very therapeutic for me. I've run out of scheduled posts, as you may have noticed, so I really need to work on that. But idk when I'll get around to it. I'm still getting used to not only being back on days, but also working full time. For the longest time, I was only working 4 days a week, and I'm not gonna lie, I miss my 3 day weekends 😂
Books read this month:
Two books is all I read. The first was a re-read and the second was a very short retelling. They were both okay, but having read only two books in August, it means I failed my 52 Books in 52 Weeks challenge 😭 I missed two weeks but I think I can manage to read one book a week for the remainder of the year!

I'm sorry you had such a stressful month! I've never had to work nights and just thinking about it stresses me out. Whenever we had contractors working on our house, that was automatic stress too and I'm not sure how you got any sleep! I do enjoy your nail art and am glad you can get back to it for it's calming effects. I find when I create through my writing, I'm so much happier, so I can relate.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it was a crazy month. I actually slept over at my aunts house during the day during that time, so that was nice. Lol.
