What do you want to bring into September, and what do you want to leave behind in August?

Prompt snagged from: TCMC

One of my full-time assistants will finally be returning to work after nearly six months on maternity leave and I can’t tell you how much I’m looking forward to it. With her back, I’m hoping to claim a little more efficiency and balance in my days. I tend to treat every day like a giant game of Tetris, constantly shifting pieces to make everything fit. Overlapping tasks is a must—like using my red light therapy on my head to promote hair follicles to grow during a TEAMS meeting while simultaneously answering e-mails/texts. Just the other day I had to complete my annual required trainings while messaging management and updating my planner to keep myself on track.

I’m also looking forward to sweater weather. That’s my favorite time of the year. There’s something about the crisp mornings and cool evenings that remind me of Minnesota.

I was working late yesterday and when it was time to go to bed, it felt like I fell asleep before my head hit the pillow. I woke up nine hours later, rotted in bed for two hours, then slept for another three hours. Half of the day passed but I’m pretty sure my body needed the time to recuperate and chill. In fact, I think I’m gonna sleep again soon. At any rate, I’d like to do more of that in September, just me and my bed.

    Sleep is great. It is definitely one of my loves. Me and my bed have a relationship definitely.

      My bed and I have the longest relationship ever 😂

    Such a meaningful reflection—I love the idea of carrying intentions forward into a new month while letting go of what no longer serves us. Wishing you a September filled with renewal and balance!

        Here’s a short and impressive comment you can use in English:

        “Ah, the classic yo-yo—simple yet timeless, a toy that carries both skill and nostalgia.”

        Would you like me to also craft one in Spanish to match the RAE definition?

            Kindly read my entire post each time, as that will be a great help to me. If you also leave a comment, I would be even more grateful to you.

    I absolutely love “pajama days”- and especially for someone like you I think they are very important! Stay in bed!

      I plan to have more dates with my bed and my pajamas 😂

    I eagerly await cooler weather as well. Don’t like heat. But I don’t see the workload-enduced necessity of multitasking going away any time soon…

      I can’t wait till I win the lotto

        I wish I didn’t know the odds. Then I’d be able to buy a ticket.

          If you don’t play you can’t win

          1. ianmdudley Avatar

            And if you DO play … you can’t win.

    I enjoy autumn and winter. It’s my favourite time of the year. If the summer is really hot like this year it is impossible to cool down, but if it’s cold outside you can warm up as soon as you get in.

      I drink copious amounts of water and take lots of cold showers 😂 I hate the heat
