The Overwhelming Urge to Finish
🕑 Added 2024-03-04 20:27:16 +0000 UTCHello folks! Today, I want to write about the urge to finish. I don't know if it's the nesting hormones, but lately I have had so many unfinished projects work their way into my psyche. I'm definitely a person who likes to think that they can do it all, so this past week I started chipping away at some of them. Why not? I thought! It's not like I'm growing a baby & actively renovating a house! What's a couple more tasks? :P
Remember back in 2021 when Fin & I were going to launch a small business? We put it on hold when planning our wedding became a part time job, but still kept all of our inventory of course. Then we moved across the country after our wedding, lived with our lives in storage for a year in VA & finally settled in VT in late summer 2023. Recently, I found all our inventory again in the basement & told Finley "We NEED to sell this before the baby comes. I simply cannot think about it anymore." So I've spent the past few days sorting through all of it. Honestly, I'm so sick of thinking & talking about it that I'll probably only mention this here then drop the link when you can actually purchase it.
Also, I made a new merch design with a friend in late summer 2023. It was RIGHT around when we were buying our house, so it wasn't high on my priority list to sell the design. Also, I don't really like my current merch company. When I lived in LA, I had a friend with a warehouse who stored, shipped & sold all my merch along with some touring musician friends. It was SO convenient & he was down to make any design I wanted because he owned the company. Now, I care more about sustainability than I did back then & it's grown very difficult to find a merch company with good practices. I'd love to actually find someone this year who could print & ship my designs. I MISS MERCH!
On a non-work related task note, I also started working on Finley & I's 2023 memory book. Last year, I worked on our 2022 book from like February to JUNE! It ended up being a huge book & took a lot of time, so this year I'm cutting down the photo count. They're so fun to have, but damn they're hard work to make! I decided it would be a good project to do while we wait for baby to arrive, though.
Anyway! This is just what the freak I've been up to! I'll be in my third trimester tomorrow & I can't freakin believe it! Much to do before our little stinker arrives, but these things seem kinda random & fun to focus on & don't require much physical movement from me (which is getting harder) lol. Comment below what you've been up to! I love you!

Focusing on finals with no motivation. For the last year or two Iβve been plagued with migraines which is incredibly hard to focus on my studies. Luckily I get my degree in 3 months (thank god) and have a full year off before I go for a doctorate. Iβm trying to start thinking about planning a grad party ( spent enough money on this degree not to have a day on my achievements)! My close friends are having a baby so Iβve been planning my crochet projects for their shower. Lastly focusing on not freaking out on my roommates, because I have until July before me and my honey get to live solo finally. If you have any tips for living ALONE with your partner let me know. Hoping a ring comes soon with that change (together for almost 6 years)!

My daughter turns two in April, I have my best friends wedding in May, and my own wedding venue and plans just fell through so Iβm starting from almost-scratch less than 7 months from our wedding day π«£thank god for beta blockers honey because I think my blood pressure might off me without them π€£ I am so happy I got time to come catch up and watch the secret vloggy because I needed a Meg chit chatty vlog so bad! Also, your picks on Lindseyβs recent video were sooooo cute & I feel like you need that blue and yellow cardigan for yourself
