Zero peeks of sunshine this week which put any time for shooting recipes on hold (so behind now!). It also led to a week of feeling even more tired! Gloomy days where the sky is actually grey always slow me down and make me want to take a nap. I never actually nap though, I feel guilty if I do! Do you feel guilty about napping? I know I shouldn't and taking a nap would probably be the best thing instead of staring at a blank page or mindlessly scrolling on social media because I just can't focus on an important task!
Fingers crossed for some emergence of sun this weekend (which is in the forecast thankfully!) This is the last full weekend of Summer before we have to accept that Fall is really here. Ugh! Not ready, not ready!
