Despite all of the beer I drank last night, I somehow managed to avoid a hangover today! We were planning on going to the movies to see Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and we made it to Guildford with enough time to do a bit of shopping, but the showing ended up being sold out by the time we got to the cinema. If I’m being totally honest, I’m not that upset about missing the movie on opening weekend.

While we were having a look around the shops in Guildford, we stumbled across a wonderful little home decor shop that was teeming with gorgeous lighting and clever gifts, so naturally we had to take a closer look. I was really impressed with the selection of home decor and accessories the shop had to offer, especially since I’m always sourcing items for myself or my clients. There were so many great finds in terms of lighting so I’ll have to keep that shop in mind in the future.

Today marks the fifty-ninth month that my husband and I have been dating so while we were out we decided to grab fries and shakes at Five Guys to celebrate the occasion. This week I’m going to begin incorporating more types of vegetables and protein into my diet, which, unfortunately, means I’ll be cutting way back on my potato intake, so I’m glad we got the chance to have some really excellent fries! The reason I’m trying to switch up my diet is because I’ve basically plateaued in terms of gym progress and I have a feeling it might be related to something in my diet. I’m looking forward to a change so I’m hoping that everything goes smoothly.

In other news, I hit 35,000 words in my novel for NaNoWriMo but I wasn’t in the right mental space to push myself to the next benchmark. Tomorrow, ideally, I’ll wake up early and get a head start so that I can start to wrap up my story, but I guess we’ll just have to see how it goes. See you tomorrow!
