Last night was great because I got to have a long-distance 3-way conversation with my brother and my sister. We're really close and it was great to catch up on everything from our love lives, to our career plans, to our plans for the future and how we plan on helping each other get there. It was so great to catch up, but being as we're all pretty long-winded... our conversations can last a few hours... and it did. I didn't end up going to sleep til after 4 a.m.
Needless to say, it felt like I had barely closed my eyes when the alarm clock announced that it was time to get up... and boy oh boy... did the day ever drag on and on and on... I was so groggy all day but I somehow managed to make it through til the evening without actually falling asleep mid-sentence. Now I've come home, grabbed a quick bite to eat, took a short nap, I'm updating this blog and you better believe the next order of business is to do a quick workout, shower and BED. It's calling my name and I can do nothing other than oblige!
This outfit was super comfy and easy-breezy, perfect for the busy workday I had to tackle in my drowsy state. Also, I'm really into the black-and-white-with-a-pop-of-color trend right now (just look at the header of my blog!) and black/white/red is such a classic combination, you can't go wrong with it. And of course, I can't forget to mention the always fun-to-wear polka dots. Lovely!
Thanks for the suggestion, grace! It got me through a really long day! :D
So as I've said before, I live in my parent's homeland of Angola, of which I am a citizen by default due to their citizenship although I'm not natural-born... well that presents a few issues when wanting to do regular things like, request a national ID (which is used for everything from domestic travels to bank transactions). I've been running around all day trying to get my ID processed but they wont give me one because I don't have a birth certificate proving that I'm from here... all I have is a passport but they wont accept that. I'm so upset! Just when I was starting to feel Angolan to the core they throw it back on my face that I'm not! :( Well I don't care... I'm Angolan and I'm proud!
Today was very disappointing... I found out my visa to the UK had not been approved yet, so I gotta wait around for them to finally grant it. Hence, I had to postpone my trip by a week. Thankfully, the travel arrangements were such that I was able to make the changes without any extra costs... but I was sad that I don't get to go... I was ready for a little break from the routine. Oh well. I can live through another week, hopefully the embassy doesn't disappoint this time!
My to-do list today was so. VERY. long... it was actually a bit overwhelming as I stared at it this morning... however, I rolled up my sleeves, jumped right in, and chugged along all-day long until I was able to triumphantly strike out every single task on it. Yay for productive days!
