Diary Entry August 18 2025

Dear Diary,

It’s Monday, which means I was supposed to get back on track after my sparkly weekend. Spoiler: I did not.

■ Started making a new soap batch, but halfway through I forgot if I’d added the lye. I stared at the pot for 15 minutes like it was going to confess.

■ Tried to print shipping labels. Accidentally printed them on glitter cardstock left over from my “branding initiative.” They’re fabulous but completely unreadable.

■ Spilled coffee on my notebook. Declared it “espresso-infused business planning.”

■ Considered reorganizing the fragrance oils, but instead alphabetized my snacks. (Popcorn comes before pretzels, don’t fight me.)

■ Declared a mid-day “Monday Motivation Dance Break.” Lasted 43 minutes. No regrets.

At this point, I think Monday is just Tuesday’s messy little cousin. And honestly? I respect that energy.

Unbothered, unproductive, and unapologetic,
Melinda 🐒💜
