Royal Round Up, Vol 6: Week 3

Another week down, 49 more to go. No, but really, January has been so odd and I think that's because of the planets and retrogrades that have been going on, or at least that's what the TikTok astrologers have been telling me.

This was a short week and I happened to take a sick day on Wednesday because I was physically down in the dumps and needed a day to clear my head, rest and get myself together. 

Over the past 6 months or so, my mental health has been a lot better, better than it's been in years but the past two weeks have been rough. I've been having panic attacks left & right, waking up anxious and being a nervous wreck all day and falling into a deep depression. It's been a rollercoaster and I'd love to get off.

I'm hoping that if I could find a semblance of a normal routine that has a mix of relaxing and listening to my body I could get back on track. 

That being said, this weekend will be a mix of productivity, rest and socializing. I'm looking forward to it!

Let's get into the round up!

Pink Positivity of the Week 

My sick day on Wednesday was just what the doctor ordered. I had no obligations and it felt incredibly good to do what I felt like, in my house, with no schedule to abide by. I was in the best mood and it felt so good to feel so light. It set the tone for the rest of the week.
