Royal Round Up, Vol 4: Week 52

 I know it's not the last week of the year but I have no idea how I messed up my calendar. Anyways... Merry Christmas Eve! I hope you all are having a safe, happy, and healthy holiday. I know a lot of people have Covid/have family members who have Covid and are spending Christmas alone so I feel for you.

Tons of people in my life have had their holiday plans ruined by Omicron so I just hope you're all staying safe and healthy.

My sister had Covid last week and tested negative three days in a row this week and she was fine; it seems to be a mild cold, at least in vaccinated people so I pray that it stays that way. I was telling my mom this morning that even though everyone's plans got upended, the holiday doesn't feel as sad and hopeless as last year. It feels almost normal that everyone's plans are all over the place because we're all in the same boat, and because it's not as severe as last year. 

Anyways... I'm trying to keep myself in the Christmas spirit and keep all the holiday anxiety and depression at bay; so far, so good! I am trying to keep myself calm, sane, and present, especially as we head into the week of New Year... my least favorite holiday! 

I want to do a lot of reflecting and planning this week but I don't know how to manage those expectations with work. We'll see what happens, I'm not focused right now since it's Christmas Eve LOL

Let's get into the roundup!

Pink Positivity of the Week

I had a really solid workweek; it was kind of quiet and I was able to get a ton of work done and I just felt super motivated and calm. Monday was a bit of a crazy day because I felt sick/had a few panic attacks but the week got better with each passing day. I'm very thankful for that!

What I Bought This Week

I also bought some of the Stoney Clover x Disney restock but I couldn't put it into the widget LOL. I'm really trying to dial back the spending but I think I say that every week.

Have a Merry Christmas and if you don't celebrate, I hope you have a great weekend :)
