the sunday currently, volume 43.



This morning I am popping in for a quick edition of The Sunday Currently. We are going to run out to breakfast as soon as I finish tapping this out. Then, we'll be returning home to clean the house (and I will be studying for a test that's happening tomorrow - this mini session is turning out to be extremely fast-paced). I'm hoping that by the end of today, we will both be feeling accomplished & rested.

C  U  R  R  E  N  T  L  Y  .  .  .

R E A D I N G... ugh. Let's not go there. I haven't read at all this week. I guess the inspiration to read can leave as quickly as it arrives. 
W R I T I N G in my ink & paper journal a lot lately. It is amazingly cathartic & therapeutic. Time & time again, it amazes me how little I allow myself to really feel until I've written it down.
L I S T E N I N G to Alabama Shakes. So, so summer. In addition to the playlist I posted a while back, I have a huge list on Spotify of music that just feels like summer to me. Justin & I have been listening to it in the early mornings of this weekend, & I love that.
T H I N K I N G it's time to get in gear this week. Last week was a dud, honestly. I did just enough to get by, & nothing else. That's not the way I want to live my life. Alas, everyone has rough weeks. 
S M E L L I N G Mahogany Teakwood
W I S H I N G for peace.
H O P I N G that my dear friend Laura (and her fiance' Jonathan) had the best of times at their engagement soiree last night. I wish Justin & I could have been there, but I know they must have had a wonderful time!
W E A R I N G top knots upon top knots.
L O V I N G that my psychology classes are giving me a bit of insight on things that I myself struggle with. 
W A N T I N G Sweet & Savory to serve us a delicious breakfast. I've heard good things.
N E E D I N G inspiration. A test tomorrow, a project presentation Tuesday, & another project presentation Thursday... yikes. 
F E E L I N G angsty about this space. Overthinking, guilt over not writing as much as I'd like, etc. All whiny, all in my control. And I'm changing that this week.
C L I C K I N G this article, which Joelle shared on Friday. It renewed my faith in social media a bit... because, honestly, sometimes I hate the constant connectedness it allows. This man's words reminded me that it's a blessing that our generation has this ability.

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend & making the most of Sunday. We're off to breakfast!

Good luck with all of these school projects! It seems like you've been so busy lately with exams and whatnot. Did you find out how the other exams went?

Justin had to turn on the air conditioner again last night.  It's October 26 - doesn't that mean the heater can stay on? Doesn't...
