But after the
longest month six months everrrr, we’ve finally entered the sweet
spot of the year… the last four months, which are my FAVORITE four months! I love every single thing about September
through December, and I have high hopes that these last four months are going
to help salvage this year that will go down in history as the craziest one ever…
well, it better be the craziest one ever… we don’t need future years being any
crazier!! Haha.
Today I’m
recapping my August goals and going over my September goals. As always, I’m using a Y for YES and N for NO
to indicate whether or not I accomplished my goals.
