 Oh well, hello friends and welcome back to my channel. Today we're gonna be doing a plan with me and we are gonna be working on Monday, July 20th through Sunday, July 26th. As always, let's take a peek at last week. So today is actually Sunday. I'm getting some filming in. Yesterday was kind of a bust. I had a planner meet up, but of course my brain didn't work very well so I had a migraine, which really sucks. So basically I like just slept, slash relax, slash let my medication work right around here. It just really sucks when you wake up with a migraine. I suffer from migraines. I've suffered for, I don't know, since middle school like and I'm almost 40 years old now. They just kind of ebb and flow. There's no real rhyme or reason. I've been on all the medications. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't, but I knew. So that is that. But yeah, I had a really good week. I had my little Christmas in July spread, which I'm so happy about. I think it looks really cute. I do, for what, I don't know, for whatever reason, I really like the like, like every other day, like going with a colorful theme. I don't know, that just makes my brain really happy. So yeah, did a lot of things. Had to deal with my HOA. That was a whole mess, but it's fine. You know, HOAs are great, but man, they suck sometimes. Anywho. Oh my goodness. So yeah, was gonna go out with some friends, but I cancelled that. They actually went and hung out by themselves, which is good. After lunch this day, I just had it, like I had a salad. I just eat like a green salad for lunch most days. And that's kind of what I was eating this week for lunch. And I just got like the worst stomach problems. So, which is weird, because it's like I had eaten like the same thing like the day before and not had a problem. So it could have been something else. I don't know, but I just need to be close to a restroom. So I was like, I don't think I can make the like 40 minute drive to the place and like have this be okay. So anyway, they had fun without me. Hopefully I can join a different time. So that'll be good. I had a few doctor's appointments. I did another live. I hope you guys enjoyed the lives. I had a question in the live saying, you know, are you gonna be doing like a live every single week, because I've done it two Thursdays in a row. So I did it this Thursday was my first time. And then this Thursday, and I said, you know what, maybe it just depends on what you guys want. So if you've made it this far in the video, which it's only been a couple of minutes, let me know your thoughts in the comment section down below. Thursdays just work really well for me, like Thursday evenings after work. But let me know. I don't know. I could do like a weekly thing, monthly thing. I don't know whenever I feel like a thing. I don't know. What do you guys think? Let me know. So anyways, oh, I finally paid off my kitchen. So I did my final payment for my kitchen countertop installation. I was waiting for them to send me my last invoice. So I finally got it on Thursday evening, and then like they weren't open. So then on Friday, I called in and just said like, okay, yeah, you can just like run my debit card again. And then now it's all bought and paid for, which is great. It feels so good to pay things cash, by the way. If you guys are new here or don't know much about my channel, feel free to check out my budgeting videos. I'm gonna put a card to my like money playlist. So check those out. But this is last week. This is the planner that I use. I have a link down below to this Franken planner, if you will. So I use an Aaron Condron life planner in the hourly layout. I have a colorful and I have neutral pages in here. So all of my monthly pages are colorful. And then my weekly pages, as you can see here, don't have any color on them. So these are the neutral pages. So I kind of put two planners together to create my own. And there is a link down below if you guys want to check it out. There's also a link below for like all the different Aaron Condron products, if you are interested in those as well. So today, I thought I would do something fun. Well, I mean, I always think it's fun. So I okay, I can get rid of this. I always create my like little like washy and sticky note like little graveyard over here. So yeah, I need to roll out some washy. So I was kind of like what I do before this and I don't know some of you guys know this. Some of you don't. It's okay. I like to decide what I'm gonna do for the week before the week starts like my theme, if you will, because sometimes I sit down to film these videos and I'm just like so uninspired. I look at my washy and sticker collection and I just get overwhelmed and I just don't know. I don't know what to do. So I just have a real tough time with that. But when I am feeling motivated and excited, I start kind of not laying out washy but I'll put like for example, like I'll take a little sticky and I'll put some washy on there saying like it's kind of like little placeholder for me just saying like this is what my inspiration for that week should be. I mean I don't know if it's gonna be but it's just a thing. So yeah, I mean I can always change it at any time clearly but yeah it just kind of gives me a little bit of structure and then with these pages being the neutral version of the EC binder, I have so much more flexibility because I'm not working with any other color palette at all on these pages. With the colorful version, there is a bit of color and I just didn't like that. So and I used that last year but you know I just I wanted a little bit more flexibility and not to have to like compete basically with that color scheme. So yeah that's kind of the method to my mayhem there. So there's that and then I saw I'm working every day this week. I just put it until five as some of you know that I've watched my channel for like ever in a day. I am working from home as I know a lot of us are at the moment and thankful that I can still work from home and have a job and all of that stuff. However, I basically just start when I get up in the morning and then sometimes I'll work till like two or three and sometimes I will actually work until like five. I feel like it just kind of depends on the day to be honest. My, let's see here, up here I need to put some washi because one of my co-workers is on vacation these two days which means that me and my other co-worker have to make sure to monitor his inbox. So we might have to do some of his department's work like he's the same department as us works in a different building. So it does kind of different things. It's kind of the same. It's weird anyways. So I like to I like to note when any one on my team is on vacation just because I can kind of remember. So yeah oh and I should say these little guys here I'll throw a video up in a card if I haven't already. These are like a washi card project I did and yeah I just I really like the way that this has turned out. So yeah all right as always I'm going to use some coffee break planner stickers and I really liked the purple in here but I really liked the yellow. I'm not a huge yellow fan. I don't know why. I've just like never really been into it but I thought that that would be like a nice compliment to use you know like yellow event stickers and then also use some um like purple accents inside of it I guess I don't know. So I mean and I like that there's like anywhere from like a lighter purple to a darker purple. So I'm going to use some kind of like you know mid-tone to purples I think is what the plan is. So I'm going to use these ones. These work stickers even though they're in my little binder are from Lulu's Daisy's and Co which is always linked down below and I get a lot of questions about like my favorite sticker shops and stuff. I do tend to put like my favorite sticker shops down below especially in these types of videos. Oh wow that is not centered at all. Good job Emily. Um especially in these types of videos. So even though a sticker shop is there it doesn't necessarily mean that I used a sticker from that shop in this specific spread but they're just kind of my go-to places that I tend to order from over and over again. All right so that looks hella cute. Love that. I love her like scripty work stickers. They're like my faves. I swear every time I place an order I always order at least like two or three pages of them because the way that her stuff is is she has so her what am I trying to say. The way that her listing is it's like a rainbow is the way that you get the work stickers so in order to get them all the same color you have to buy several sheets which I'm not complaining about at all. I think that's amazing. So that's why I pull them off the sheets and then I do them like this. So yeah so basically like you get one of every single color on a sheet but I don't know I like it. I like it so I mean I use enough of them that I don't really care. I go through them enough. So yeah so I have my work all scheduled in cool. Um you know to be honest this week is like a little bit boring so I apologize in advance. Um I need to see if I have any like cute little birthday things. My friends birthdays. Oh this is totally the wrong book. Hold on. All right so I need to see if there's any like cute little birthday things that might be purple actually or yellow. Well let's use one of these. These are like little ec stickers. Hold on here. Come here. Come here little friend. All right so there we go and then I'm gonna put this like kind of in the middle of the day. My friend Megan's birthday just so it reminds me to um you know send her a text because I'm bad at that sometimes. Hold on I'm gonna see if there's like a little birthday thing in here. I think that there are a few different birthday things in here. I don't know. I don't really have what I'm looking for. Well maybe I can do this. Hold on. All right this is like a whole lot of yellow but whatever whatever. All right so I will send her a text to see how she's doing for the day so I'll do that pretty early in the morning here and then I'll put my little happy birthday here. I don't really have like too much going on at work. I mean I'm busy. Don't get me wrong but like I don't have any like extra things going on at work which is kind of nice to be honest. But I heard through the grapevine that I'm gonna start training to do something in new. I'll still have my other job but like training on doing I don't know some new things so we shall see how that goes. But yeah just doing some cross training is what's actually like really happening. Oh I should put that birthday thing up in the top there but not the birthday. I'm sorry like vacation time. All right hold on let's do that. And another interesting thing with the pandemic which I know a lot of you guys that are still working and you know if your job hasn't been really affected too much is trying to figure out how you're gonna use your vacation time. So that has been a bit of a challenge for my department. Well I think everybody's department to be completely honest. I actually have a vacation day coming up which will be in August but it's like one vacation day. But I'm like okay well I've got like two weeks to use so yeah I was saving up my vacation because I was anticipating surgery and all that stuff. I'm no longer having surgery. If you guys don't know about that I will link a video. I did like a little medical update thing a while ago but yeah it's just really frustrating but that's I was kind of saving all my PTO on vacation for that because you know if you have surgery you just don't really know how your recovery is going to go and you know you want to make sure that you're saving your time for that and that's why I didn't you know I didn't really schedule anything this year before surgery was even an option last summer if you will. My mom and I actually talked about going to San Francisco this summer as kind of like just like a summer trip and that clearly is not happening because I told her like one surgery was kind of an option for me. I said hey you know I want to make sure that I'm doing the right thing for me and my body and I just want to make sure that I have enough vacation time and all of that stuff so that's kind of off the table and my mom was like oh yeah no problem and then the pandemic hit and like clearly we can't go anywhere at this point which is fine but still one of those things that's like oh how do I use all this vacation time so I don't know I'm gonna figure it out but we shall see. I also have some blood work that I have to go do I've got my little cute little um where are these from oh simply gilded I've got a couple of these but this is all of my Lulu's daisies and co stuff and I know I know that I have a medical one in here that says blood work somewhere hold on we're gonna find it haha blood work so wait all right and I will do the purple one here we'll do this purple one so freaking cute I'm like obsessed with her stickers and no this is not sponsored at all I just love her stuff okay so I'm going in I believe at five on Wednesday to do some blood work I had some medical appointments last week they just want to take a look at my labs they have labs from a while ago that they think they can still use um but they want to just double check a few levels and just make sure everything's good to go before I have um any more medication prescribed to me which I already have more medication prescribed to me it's a whole thing you know it's always good to double check labs before you start doing anything else so yeah all right and then Thursday night at 6 30 my time is another NASCAR race which is in Kansas so we'll put that there and then let's put in some youtube videos because I am usually the like person that's like yeah I've got all the videos scheduled and I'm ready to go nope not this week guys not this week at all so I need to get my shirt together basically so yeah but um I'm gonna put in a little like these cute little layouts or like one of these flat lays oh they're so freaking cute from blue scooter press and then this is from Libby and Lou little planner time cuteness down here and sometimes I do my planner videos um on Saturdays but I don't know for whatever reason this kind of like reminds me to like get my life together and um do that so yeah and then I've got these cute little colorful cameras from Adriana Piper um let's see here I think I'll do a yellow one just to kind of tie in with a little like planner time um but oh as I was saying um I don't have my life together this week with the video situation so the only video I know that's going up so far is on Monday which is my plan with me video so I mean I know that beyond that I'm just kind of like burp I just oh I don't know guys sometimes I don't know I feel like you guys have this like idea that I've just got my life together and like guess what I don't oh goodness I don't know but I'll figure it out so Monday see like I haven't even edited like I'm looking at my computer screen right there because that's where it is I haven't even edited my video from last week of my plan with me that needs to go up this week like this day so we are going to get that figured out maybe I don't know I don't I don't know it's just like oh gosh sometimes I've got my life together and other times I'm like what am I doing what am I doing for reals I don't know I just don't know so Friday's video should be a monthly budget video um so I'm gonna put that up so I'll put that up in a second and then Wednesday's video like these might change you guys um Wednesday's video should be something about learning to save money because that is the plan like I said I'm usually like a week ahead and I got like two weeks ahead and then I was like I'm doing really good and then like oh well that didn't work out so anyway I'm taking my little piggy bank thing here looking all cute and then going back into here because I've got here we go monthly budget this is exactly what I want right here monthly budget um yeah so I've gotta get that filmed I've gotten none of these videos filmed supposed to film something for last week that never happened sometimes we just gotta make it work guys we just gotta make it work all right this week here I'm gonna use one of

have a few doctor's appointments that I need to make but there's like a referral in the system but they haven't called me yet so at some point I'll be making these appointments this upcoming week so yeah okay so got a few more appointments to deal with which will be happening at some point I don't know if I can do these things over the phone or if they are going to be a like in person visit but I
