I had very little luck on CMB and ran out of Bagels fairly quickly, too. I don't think it has the popularity that others have, so not a lot of people use it.

I think I've moved beyond sinus issues into having a cold. I would love to go home and rest/sleep, but most of my coworkers are out-of-town and there is no one to cover my job if I leave. My job isn't overly taxing, but it would feel great to just sleep this cold away.

I'm thinking about joining Tinder again. I haven't been on it since March after that terrible, awful date. I'm just bored and when I'm not active on the online stuff, I feel like there's no chance of meeting someone, where as when I'm active I feel like there's a sliver of hope.

Last night I dreamed that LMM was sitting outside some building in NYC and I was trying so hard to impress him along with 2 of my friends so we could get in to see Hamilton. He started smoking and told us no, lol.

cuddlyevil, that's cute! I want a favorite bartender, lol!

Four years is a long time to be with someone, married or not. I'm sorry you've experienced this, but it sounds like you are taking great steps to help yourself heal.

Going grocery shopping on Saturday nights is a legit pleasure for me. No one is there. Everything is stocked. They play music from the late 90s/early 00s. Heaven!

I got asked out today by a religious nut job. Of course.

I purchased the Sonia Kashuk Velvety Matte Lip Pencil in Poppy Nude and I LOVE it. It's the perfect not-bright matte red-orange color.

I made a morning run to Target before work. I bought the Sonia Kashuk Velvety Matte Lip Crayon in Poppy Nude since I thought it would go great with my outfit. It does, thankfully! And I love the color. LOVE. I also bought a cardigan to since I didn't have one to match the dress I'm wearing today.

After work I'm heading to a wedding. It's kind of cool outside, much cooler than I expected and I'm worried I'm not dressed warm enough for an outdoor wedding/reception, even with the cardigan. At this point, there is nothing I can do about it!

Today I was also mansplained to about both history and religion! Ugh.

My job is going well and I do enjoy it, but I can tell that my drive for it isn't there like it used to be, if that makes sense. Daily I ask myself that pesky question: is this my life career? Is this the best use of my time/efforts/skills? What would I do if I could do anything else and make a decent living? How do I incorporate my skills (or learn new skills) into a career that excites me and allows me to pursue my passions? I think these are good questions for myself and I am actively working on attaining new skills to help me reach where I want to go, but in the meantime, I'm kind of drifting along until I make changes/master new skills or something changes.

Also looming above my head is the flatness of my housing situation, my future, my non-existent love life, etc. All those things feel like they've plateaued with no real change in sight. I've got fun stuff planned, but those events are the only real deviations from the ho-hum of daily life (i.e. me spending time with me). In all honesty, I'm sure my feelings of loneliness as of late and desire for a companion are coloring that. I just deleted the dating apps yet again because they yielded nothing and that is frustrating, which I also know from experience is the cycle of dating and that I'll be fine in a few days but it still sucks to feel trapped in the doldrums of it all yet again.

/end ramble. Thanks for listening! How is the job for you mp? I know things haven't been great and I hate that for you.

I've got my eye on the Sonia Kashuk Weekender Bag since it has smaller removable sections. I saw Emilynoel83 do a review with the bag in it and I need it now, lol.

I had a dream last night that I had to put my cat down. I gave him some snuggles this morning. Why is my brain so mean to me sometimes?!

My life feels rather stagnant as of late. I'm not really sure what to do about it, either.

bl, it was great! Thursday was spent traveling to my friend's school, watching his presentation and reception afterward, followed by dinner and the train ride back to Brooklyn. After such a long day, we rested on Friday and stayed in Brooklyn. I went to a real yoga studio for the first time that day and joined a flow class (I was sore the rest of the trip, lol)! It was fun to spend the day like a local. Saturday I experienced Chinatown and Little Italy with a friend, then we joined another friend that evening in Midtown. During drinks I came down with the WORST headache I've had in years and ended up going to bed early. Sunday, my stomach cramped all day long (I have no clue why), but I powered through it. We walked around West Village/Greenwich Village and popped into a lot of shops (we spotted Uma Thurman, too!) and had dinner over there. I left Monday morning. I can't wait to go back!

Where all did you go? My roommate mentioned wanting to go to Charleston this year, so it's on my radar for a possible late summer/fall trip.

Nicole Kidman bought the rights and they are doing a mini-series of the book: www.justjared.com/2016/01/11/reese-witherspoon-nicole-kidman-begin-work-on-big-little-lies-with-shailene-woodley/

This book started off so, so slowly for me and I was worried that it was going to be a "mommy wars" type book, but I was glad I stuck with it. I still think about it sometimes.
