With this time in quarantine, I’ve had a lot of time to myself and with my own thoughts. Hopefully I’ll write more about those thoughts sometime soon, after I’ve had time to organize them all.
Overall, I’ve been feeling pretty frustrated because I couldn’t think of anything to write for this week and for missing my usual Wednesday post day. The more I thought about it, I realized that although I feel like I haven’t been very productive, I have done a lot of different things. Therefore, for this week’s blog post, I thought I could give a little update on what I’ve been doing during this weird, weird time.
Here are a few of my quarantine things in the form of ten lists of five:
5 Songs I’ve Been Listening To
I Love Me by Demi Lovato---This song is such a good representation of what it feels like to live in my skin right now!
Anyone by Demi Lovato---Demi just speaks to my soul. I LOVE this song and her vulnerability and authenticity.
talk to myself (demo) by Wrabel---This song is a good representation of how I feel during this quarantine...
Life is Confusing by Langhorne Slim---This song is how I feel when I scroll through social media these days...
Don’t Give Up On Me by Andy Grammar---This song gives me hope and reminds me of my TMR family 💜
5 Movies I’ve Watched
A Star Is Born--I'm late to the party, but Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper are SO good in this! I love the song, "Shallow."
Frozen 2---I've been waiting forever to watch this! Thank goodness for Disney+.
Tangled---This movie is my feel good movie. When I'm feeling super anxious, it makes me feel better.
Toy Story 4---I haven't seen this movie since this summer in treatment. Forky makes me happy!
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off---Because, why not...?
5 Shows I’ve Been Watching
1. This Is Us---I got behind, and now I'm caught up, and OH MY GOSH! I need someone to talk to about the Season 4 finale!
2. Big Little Lies---I'm just starting to read the book, so I'm checking it out. Jury's still out on this one.
3. Friends---My go-to, feel good show. Thankful they still show it on TBS and Nick at Nite or I would be super sad since it's not on Netflix anymore.
4. The Office---"I'm running away from my responsibilities and it feels good"-Michael Scott
5. Parks & Rec--I love Leslie Knope and I low-key just want her to be my best friend
5 Books I’ve Read/Am Reading
1. Untamed by Glennon Doyle---I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Glennon and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this book! Read it!!
2. It’s Always the Husband by Michele Campbell---recommendation from some friends at work, it was a shocker!
3. It’s Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini---Gabe's recommendation. A story about a kid's time in the psych ward in New York City. Very eerily similar, in the funny ways at least, to my own experiences in the hospital. Ned explained it in a way that I couldn't. Can't wait to watch the movie!
4. The Shining by Stephen King---because Gabe says it's better than the movie and we watched Doctor Sleep.
5. Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty---I figured I should read the book before I get too far into the series 🤷
