WashU Together

To be honest, I really like this action! Especially since we are all doing online school and online work, I think forcing myself to take my eyes off the screen is incredibly important. Some things that I like to do while taking my eyes off the screen is bullet journaling, crocheting, and reading. 

I've always had trouble with my sleep patterns: I tend to stay up too late, and feel extremely tired in the morning. This is something that I'm still actively trying to fix, but haven't found a definitely solution for. Something that I do know works is to keep to a schedule. If I have something to look forward to in the morning, it motivates me...

I'm always excited to go on walks because I love looking at the trees in my neighborhood. There are not that many big trees where I'm from, so seeing such big ones here always makes my day. It's a good source of relaxation for me and it helps me focus easier once I get home. 

There are studies that have shown optimism to be essential for human health, and being grateful for little things keep you optimistic! 

I was able to utilize a black owned business for a plumbing project. Hated to have to spend money on this project, but was happy to learned it was black owned. It was a great experience, so I will gladly recommend them to others. there is also a phase 2 of the project, and as long as the bid is competitive, I will support them!

I LOVE discovering edible food in the landscape of my urban neighborhood and parks. This weekend, I found a lion's mane mushroom on a tree that has flushed before. Someone had already harvested the bulk of it, but I savored the remnants. There is another ball ready to flush. I hope I get there first!
