april wrap up: a new desk.

life · May 1, 2022

And just like that, April is over. April was kind of a weird month for me. It was difficult for me to get motivated to do much. I struggled with work and my personal goals. I’m not sure why; I think I was just feeling ‘meh’ about a lot of things. I did get one thing checked off of my goals though, so there’s that. Here is my monthly wrap-up of some of the things I’ve been up to in April.

What I’m loving:
I bought a desk! I finally found a desk I liked so I clicked that buy button and had it delivered. One of my goals this year was to upgrade my work from home situation which meant getting a bigger desk. This new desk has plenty of room for all my stuff. It also has a drawer so now I finally have a place to put all my pens, notepads, and post-it notes. I did have to do some assembly, which was a bit of a hassle only because the desk did not arrive with any assembly instructions. But I figured it out and I am super excited to use my new desk.

Where I’m traveling:
I went back to Ocean Shores for the weekend with one of my friends. Ocean Shores is a cute little town, even though it does not have a bookstore (what kind of beach town does not have a bookstore?). We stay in a little vacation village area called Oyhut Bay. All the vacation homes in Oyhut Bay are super cute and I totally recommend staying there if you are in the area. My friend and I just went for a couple of days; we were looking for a change of scenery and somewhere where we could just hang out and read all weekend.

What I’m watching:
One of the podcasts I listen to is The Rewatchables. It’s a film podcast about movies that can be rewatched over and over and one of the movies they just talked about is A League of their Own. So of course, I had to rewatch it. I had forgotten how good and funny that movie is. Everyone in this movie is hilarious and there are so many good lines and scenes. Geena Davis looks amazing and I completely forgot that Bill Pullman is in this movie as well. If you haven’t seen or rewatched this movie in a while, you should definitely go out and watch it now.

That’s all I have for you for April. See you next month!
