This is a few days late, mostly because I haven't had a moment of downtime since Friday afternoon. I was planning on getting some stuff done on Friday night but then was hit with the worst ovulation pains. Has anyone ever experienced that? About two weeks before your period, you start ovulating and the pain feels worst than any period cramps I've ever had.
This never happened to me when I was younger but the pain started coming like clockwork about 6-8 months ago. I knew what it was because my sister used to have such bad ovulation pains that she went to the hospital when she was younger. It's terrible!
I was debilitated all Friday night, and then yesterday had my cousins' baby shower and a date last night (yes, a date -- maybe I'll share more soon but for now, I'm tight-lipped!) so I just haven't had a moment to myself.
Earlier in the week, if you follow me on social media, you'll know that I was in Miami for a work trip. I was supposed to come home Tuesday afternoon but because it was raining here in NYC, our flight was delayed and rebooked for Wednesday at 7 AM. I've never had a flight delayed so I was beside myself but once we realized we were going to be staying in Miami for one more night, I calmed down.
I went back to my hotel room (they upgraded us to a 1 bedroom suite which was amazing) and worked for hours, watched Bachelor in Paradise and ordered room service. I woke up at 4 AM the next morning and was home by 11 AM. It was nice to have an early flight to get home and be able to work and have the entire day.
It was a whirlwind week and I am finally catching up to realizing what day/time it is.
Tomorrow I had down to QVC for work and I'm there till Wednesday so it'll be a hectic week -- bare with me!
I seem to be in a bit of a writer's rut and my editorial calendar is totally blank for the next few weeks. I need to do some soul searching/topic searching because I'm just at a standstill... even though I feel like I've been doing pretty good at taking Royally Pink more seriously.
We'll see!
