Hey everybody. I hope your days been going well. I'm struggling today. It's been almost a year since I experienced something very traumatic. I'm sitting in my office, sobbing at the computer. I don't know if I can keep up my normal schedule right now.
I'm very sorry to hear that you are having a difficult time. I hope you are able to take some time for yourself that will involve self-care and enjoyment. :hugs:
 
I know students are suffering, but my professor friends are also feeling overwhelmed at the moment. Maybe try to connect with your prof honestly and ask for an extension or substitute assignment?
As one of those suffering professors, I can vouch for how overwhelmed faculty are. My department head cancelled two meetings today because she felt that we all needed a mental health break. @SakuraSakura, I think many professors are open to hearing from students. I am actually redesigning my final assignment for one of my courses in ways that will make it easier for students to complete it.

I bought a New Lock , the larger sized hobo flap, in 2011 and you guys are right that the price started with a 2, but I think my larger size flap was closer to 3 than 2, but the more typical sized one was in the range you’re remembering
I am waiting on more navy paint to arrive to transform the white one to the darkest of blues. It feels oddly small to me, because I used to have the bigger one. But I love it and I only paid $350 on eBay.
My first Lotuff working tote arrived today. That is some serious craftsmanship!!!!! I will take pics at some point if anyone is interested.
 
I just looked at my post at the beginning of this thread—and I’ve failed terribly! I think the quarantine sales were too tempting! And being home all day also didn’t help!

I've only managed to get rid of books so far (charity shop).

Not too bad with bags (only one this year) but every month I seem to buy something.
 
Sorry I have been AWOL.

Work has been just about 24/7. One of our hardest working and most capable colleagues has been off which left a big hole.

On a slightly brighter note, I had a day out with my newest bag on on Weds before we found out. And yes, I bought the matching scarf (last week).

Hope he feels better soon and that you don’t get it at all. Love the new scarf. I’m glad you got to wear your scarf and bag.

I hope your colleague recovers quickly. I am so glad you got to wear your bag - I was wondering how you were enjoying it. This style has caught my eye, it’s on my watch list. Actually, I’ve been watching it for awhile. Congratulations on your matching scarf, it looks amazing on you!

Gorgeous! ❤
Also congrats on your stats - especially regarding the books! I need to do the same, but most of mine? As soon as I touch them - my hearts says “Nope, that stays.“
I should truly go through them and be brutal. Only keep the favorites!

Hi there. While I understand that professors are also feeling the pressure, some have chosen to keep the course work and expectations the exact same as before the pandemic. This is one of those cases. This professor has chosen to blame us for "not showing up" to his designated office hours - an hour on a weekday - and says that a late assignment is an automatic zero. I truthfully cannot be bothered at this point to deal with my mental health and deal with a jerk too. I tried showing up to one of his office hours. He was nowhere to be found. This assignment is only worth 6 percent of my grade so I'll keep going anyway.

Hey everyone. I'm doing a little better right now but I am still trying to cope the best way I know how to. It is currently a blizzard outside so I might just be home all day. I'm right there with all of you. The deals have been really good which makes fighting temptation a gruelling task. Some of us are not meant to withstand such hardships. My mini Natasha is expected to show up by November 16th. I hope the poor weather conditions subside so it can sit on the shelf with my other beauties quicker.

I'll leave you with this: while they say that less is more, it is more about the less being the most. <3
