How has everyone's past couple weeks been? Mine were mostly bad to be honest... but these past few days have been a lot better! As you probably already know, I still have to work full time. I work in a homeless shelter and we are considered an essential service, so we cannot close. I've basically only gone from work to home since this pandemic started. I have seen none of my loved ones and have really been struggling with that. My mental health has declined a lot lately and I finally figured out what to do about it: treat myself to some self care items and do a deep spring clean/organize of my room!
I did both of those things in the past few days and I feel a ton better! I spent a lot of money ordering stuff online (I had the money to spend - it didn't hurt my bank account). I bought the following; two pairs of Vans, two pairs of Converse, a cheap pair of black slip on shoes, a pair of memory foam slippers, a big black purse, an umbrella, two surprise bags from Ardene, a massage pillow, an essential oil diffuser + essential oils, head massager, a color changing mood lamp/bluetooth speaker, a light blocking sleep mask, and three fake succulent plants for decoration.
If you are wondering why I bought so many shoes; all my old ones have been messed up from work. They all have holes in them and are filthy. I definitely needed all new shoes! Anyways, onto the next thing; deep spring cleaning/organizing my room. It was very time consuming, but so worth it! My room looks a ton better now. I would post pictures, but I am waiting for all my self care stuff to arrive first, so I can post pictures of everything all set up. My room will be the ultimate relaxation space, which is what I really need right now. I'm so excited!
I also ended up cleaning my carpet... which I didn't plan on doing. I accidentally spilled my entire smoothie on the carpet yesterday and had to go out and buy a $160 carpet cleaner. After cleaning up the smoothie stain, I tacked some other stains that were there before I moved in. Now the carpet looks almost new! I'm definitely unhappy about the cost and the effort that I put into it though...
Oh, I also had pre-ordered The Last of Us Part II, but then they announced that it has been postponed. Ugh! It was the only thing I had to look forward to! I hope this whole pandemic ends soon...

It's definitely so important to do self care in general but especially now. Sorry to hear that you haven't done well, but hope it gets better.
