A Weekend of Adjustments and a Slow Start to the Week

Monday already, and it's been a quiet weekend for blog posts. My last journal entry was Thursday. My parcels arrived that day with the outfit for my cousin’s wedding. I tried it on and, although everything fits okay, I just wasn’t feeling it. It’s too much black, which is something I never thought I’d say. I had an idea in my head of how it would look, and it didn’t match that at all. My Dr Martens didn’t go with the outfit, so I ended up ordering a pair of brogues along with a beige suit jacket, which arrived the next day on Friday, to break up the black a bit. I’m not 100% happy with the outfit, but it’s only one day I’ll need to wear it.

Friday came and went quietly, and then on Saturday, me, my dad, and my daughter went to my local pub for a couple of hours. The weather’s starting to pick up now that we’re in March, so we were able to sit outside, which was nice.

Last night, Sunday, I had a fairly early night. I’ve been suffering with headaches for about the last four days. Although ibuprofen is doing the job at getting rid of them, I’ve been waking in the early hours with my head pounding, so I wanted to get to sleep early.

This morning, I did my weekly food shop with my mom, daughter, and youngest sister. As you know, we usually go on Thursdays, but we thought we’d go on Monday this week. I got my sister a birthday card and put some cash in it for her birthday, which is on Saturday, and I picked up a birthday card for my dad as his birthday is on Thursday. I ended up giving my dad his present early over the weekend. I ordered him a new pair of tan-coloured lace-up Dr Martens, which he was super happy with. They were only £108 direct from the Dr Martens website, which is super cheap. I’m sure the pair I bought for myself a couple of months ago were £180 or something like that.

Anyway, shopping today was pretty uneventful, and I managed to keep my bill under £100. Once home and after I’d unpacked, I considered doing my Monday home workout, but I’m not feeling it with this headache, which is fine. A day off won’t hurt. I was feeling kind of tired when I got home and thought about taking a nap, but I really don’t like sleeping in the day, so I sat down and played Xbox for a bit before having lunch, which was bun-less burgers today.

For my evening meal a short while ago, I had ribeye steak, roasted sweet potato, and green beans. Anyway, my head’s hurting, so I’m going to get an early night. I hope everyone had a great Monday.
