1. I'm going to keep this post short and sweet tonight.  I'm heading out for my work test this week and i've been super stressed all month – if i've seemed disjointed you know why now – i can't wait for this to be over so i can relax and feel like myself again.  this whole process is just incredibly stressful and overwhelming.  its also crazy to think it's almost over.  if i pass this week im done with testing.  keep me in your thoughts pleaseeeeee and don't hate me if you don't see a recipe this week – i promise to make up for my absence in a couple weeks.

2. all of these things are things i now want.

3. i'm so so happy it's fall and i can't wait to enjoy it and dive head first into marathon training & taking better care of myself!

4. i want this book – i love nikita gill and her instagram is dreamy
