A Jazzy, Snowy Morning

 On Sunday, I woke up to a text from my friend with this gif: For reference, Lorelai (in pink)  loves  the snow so much that she can smell when it's about to snow for the first time every year. My friend and I both LOVE Gilmore Girls and the snow, so every year when the first snow happens, we send each other something related to it. Anyway, usually when I wake up, especially on a weekend day, I spend at least half an hour on my phone before I get out of bed (please don't judge me lol). But not that day. I saw her text and immediately popped out of bed and ran downstairs so I could sit on the couch and watch the snow fall.  When i got downstairs, my roommate was chopping vegetables to go in her crockpot very loudly. Usually I like to sit in silence as I watch the snow, because it's so peaceful. But I couldn't handle the sound of the knife on the cutting board being my only noise I was listening to, so I went back upstairs and grabbed my headphones before going back downs

 This week, I went on a date to an obscure little restaurant. I was a little worried about the food quality because it was a vegan food place. It ended up being fine ( aggressively fine).

This week was insanely busy for me. I was behind on everything and I was so anxious that I wasn't going to be able to catch up. I was very VERY behind on sleep. I hadn't gotten more than 6.5 hours of sleep in a few weeks and my meals got less and less nutritious. Honestly, it got to the point where I was skipping meals because I didn't have time to make anything.  Anyway, all this stress culminated to a point yesterday when I just felt awful. My body was struggling, I felt nauseous but also hungry... I had gone to bed knowing I would only get six hours of sleep, but I woke up from stress over and over again in the night. When I woke up, I felt depleted. I felt run down, tired of trying, and I didn't want to keep going, but I had a busy day ahead of me. I felt my anxiety getting progressively worse. Usually, in those situations, I try to meditate to calm my mind down and re-center myself, but I knew if I meditated, I would just fall asleep from sheer exhaustion, and I di
