My Week According to Instagram

Sorry I've been so naughty with posting!  I've pretty much only been doing my weekly Instagram posts, and this one is even a day late.  I really don't have any excuses except laziness and back pain.  I got injured at work a few months ago and have yet to heal from it.  Actually, the pain has increased the last few weeks.  I ended up having to go home from work early because the pain was so unbearable.

But onto less depressing things.  The Christmas spirit is really starting to bubble up inside of me.  I know Thanksgiving hasn't even come yet.  But I can't help it.  I blame the Hallmark and Lifetime channels for having Christmas film marathons that I can't resist.  I'm so looking forward to the decorations, the music, the movies, and the smells of wondrous things baking.

Closer to the horizon is Thanksgiving.  That will be my holiday off (I'll have to work Christmas) and I'm excited to be able to spend the day with some family.  I'm most looking forward to spending the morning cooking and baking with my beloved mother.

What are your favorite parts of the upcoming holidays?

My Week According to Instagram

Another week passes us by.  I worked all week except for Thursday.  I was rather productive that day.  I finally got my hair trimmed after not doing so for the longest time, I started my Christmas shopping, went grocery shopping, and did some sewing with my mum.

I am working this weekend, so I usually don't do much when I work.  I have off tomorrow but it's going to be another busy day.  I like having off a weekday each week, but then again at the same time it's not very relaxing if you try to cram too much in one day.  I always long for my weekends off when I can have two days in a row.

1. Pumpkin spice latte on the way to a flea market.

2. Vintage nails and a Singer light bulb shield.

3-4. The lovely Vivien Leigh.

My Week According to Instagram

So another week has passed...

This week hasn't been the easiest of weeks for me, as you may be able to tell by the single update I made.  On top of not feeling well, I also got injured at work on Thursday.  As I may have mentioned, I work as a Patient Care Assistant (or PCA) at a hospital on the medical surgical floor.  That job in and of itself is stressful enough at times.

But then on Thursday a patient fell and landed on top of me, making me fall in the process.  I landed on the feet of the IV pole, against a chair, and against the corner of the cabinets.  Not very comfortable.  I now have a strained back, banged up ankle, and various bruises all over my body including a horrible one on my bum and a nasty one on my hip.  So suffice to say, I've been trying to take it easy the rest of the week.

16. I love this skirt

I almost got rid of that green top because I haven't worn it in years.  I'm so glad I didn't because it looks great with a skirt and has a certain vintage vibe to it.  How has your week been?  Hopefully better than mine...
