Did some yoga tonight as well and planned stuff out in my planner, too.

March 21st, 2016: Had my last therapy session (for a while as my therapist is heading on maternity leave soon); she gave me a book as a nice reward called "The Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren and I couldn't wait to read it! She also gave me some "homework" to do while she's on maternity leave (it's like super easy stuff to do. not complicated by the way). Went to Target (again!) and walked around and I got a few things while I was there- Stevia packets, mystic mango kombucha, burt's bees mango lip balm, and one other thing I forgot.

My February 2016 In A Nutshell

Another month in a nutshell for you to read! I hope you enjoy reading!

February 1st, 2016: Went to my volunteer center and worked on job applications and goofed off with my friend. Also went to see my therapist today (before that I went to store to get ingredients for a dip and a few other things). Went out to dinner, talked to my friend at home on the phone and on Oovoo. 

February 2nd, 2016: This was one day I don't even want to recall at all. But I went to my center and tried to enjoy my day. After I got home, I went to go grocery shopping with my mom.

February 3rd, 2016: I stayed home today cause ladies you catch my drift why here. Wrote my friend a letter and watched "Chronicle". Talked to my friend (yet again about anything and everything).

February 4th, 2016: I stayed home yet again and watched TV. Got a couple of Amazon orders which were the book " You Are A Badass" and editing software for my laptop. And also filmed a "Pet Peeves" video for my YT channel. Well at least I had my tea tonight too. 

February 5th, 2016: Today was weird. I went to my center and someone I don't get along with came in today. I did get to hang out with my friend though. Which was nice. Wrapped some baby shower gifts for my cousin and talked to my friend on Oovoo. 

February 6th, 2016: Went to my cousin's baby shower and it was nice. Made a quick store run on my way home, too.

February 7th, 2016: Went out with my mom to get stuff (got a new drink at Starbucks, too!) Made snacks for the super bowl and enjoyed the game as well! 

February 8th, 2016: Went to my volunteer center today and did a new activity and danced around with my friend too. Also as usual went to see my therapist. And talked to my friend on Oovoo and treated myself to a face mask, and painted my nails. Also had my tea and read my "You are a badass" book too.

February 9th, 2016: Today was an okay day. My friend was being a huge butt and didn't seem to want to be around me at all. And at home I talked to my friend too. 

February 10th, 2016: Today was the worst day of my life. Was supposed to go in but I couldn't do it today. Came back home, and my dad helped me with fixing my bed too. Talked to my friend again per usual. 

February 11th, 2016: Today was a rather weird day: I had a "friend" console me to see what was wrong about yesterday; another "friend" took control of a another "friend" (and I knew why too). Also, my friend brought me back the worst tasting cupcake (I've never had a cupcake that bad in my life!) Had an important meeting to attend; even my February Birchbox came today (made my day so much better!)

February 12th, 2016: Today is a day I want to forget and remove from my memory altogether. I thought I was going today was going to be a nice day at the center for the party. Certain people just like to kill my mood and my dad eventually came to pick me up and we grabbed lunch on the way home and I finished packing for my Grammy's this weekend (even snuck some mediation in today as my day was hectic- I really needed it).

February 13th, 2016: Today began great and ended weirdly; went out to do some errands and got lunch with my parents (had the most delicious vegan pizza ever!); made angel food cake with whipped topping with fresh berries. I had an unthinkable moment later of where I thought my ex would give someone like me another chance- he didn't. So, the unthinkable part is where I tried to attempt suicide. I didn't do it. Then it was bad to have a soda before bed and I started freaking out, hyperventilating, and crying. My mom had the final say- I eventually slept in her room that night due to the chaos.

February 14th, 2016: Today was great! My mom and I had a girls' day out shopping and getting Starbucks! Went to American eagle outfitters, Marshall's, bath and body works, and Hanes outlet. Got some nice things from there. Made dinner that night and enjoyed watching "Lip Sync Battle" (I did get some nice flowers, a stuffed animal and chocolate from my Dad for Valentine's Day by the way).

February 15th, 2016: Today was the day we left and headed home and it evened snowed! Yay! On our way home, stopped to get Hyatt from the kennel and we got home and unloaded. Did an over the phone appointment with my therapist at 4 (due to the weather). And also, due to my mental health, I wasn't allowed to go into my volunteer center but I doubt I'll be going back anyways.

February 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th, 2016: Mostly took care of things around the house and taking care of myself, too.

February 20th, 2016: Today I got my daily readings in and cleaned my closet up, too; went to do some errands with my mom as well. I also did a well deserved relaxation routine- did some yoga and mediation; read my "You are a bad-ass" book and drank my tea as I read it.

February 21st, 2016:  Got my daily readings in today and made my mom some strawberry banana muffins (yummy by the way) and guacamole, too; and got some chores taken care of; enjoyed watching "Disneyland 60" on ABC as well.

February 22nd, 2016: Started on making my grocery and general list for next month; got a video filmed for my YouTube channel; had my therapy appointment today too (made a quick store run before going there). This was one night I couldn't sleep, so thank goodness for tea. It helped. I didn't sleep well that night either.

February 23rd, 2016: One fine rainy day,  I had my tea and even did some exercising on the game "Wii Fit U", too. Even (yet again) made some guacamole, too; and cupcakes! Made those too! And talked to my sister as well; got some yoga and mediation in tonight (which was great!)

February 24th, 2016: Continued working on my general and grocery list; played some "Just Dance" on the Xbox one; I made dinner tonight and yet we had a tornado warning and stayed 15 minutes past after the warning was discontinued (*fail!* thanks, mom) .

February 25th, 2016: Got my lists done! Chores got done and helped my mom with unloading groceries too; I cooked dinner tonight (gave my mom a rest and I did it tonight- spaghetti!), served it, and cleaned it up, too. Did usual yoga/stretching and mediation tonight (also did my Happify app too!)

February 26th, 2016: Did my daily readings and had my tea as I read them; got chores done before my mom got home (*sigh* Yay! :D) And watched "Fuller House" on Netflix (so good so far)!

February 27th, 2016: Got rid of two bags of clothes that I don't wear anymore and put away laundry; had dinner with my grandparents and step-grandma, too. And at least my tea was good!

February 28th, 2016: Made my to-do list for this week; even got my dog for a walk on the trail today (highlight of my day by the way); My mom and I finished up "Fuller House" on Netflix as well. Had my tea, wrote some stuff down and read some chapters in my "You Are a Badass" book.

February 29th, 2016: Great day today! Even my therapy appointment went well and I was remained calm almost all day (thanks, essential oil rollerball!) Got my daily readings in and even read my "You Are a Badass" book, too and even mediated for 10 minutes before going to sleep.


I hope you enjoyed reading my February 2016 in a nutshell! Tune in soon for March's post!

Thanks!
