Happy Sunday, readers! I’m finally back with another Sunday Sum-Up!
Can you believe that I was just sipping mimosas by the beach and reading You Truly Assumed? I feel like this is another life that I suddenly transplanted myself into! For someone who ended up jobless for two years because of COVID and spent most of those two years at home, this just feels unreal.
Since I started working full-time here as an intern doctor, my weekdays are usually occupied by work, work and work. I usually try to read at least a chapter every day but I get most of my reading done during the weekend. My weekends have taken on a simple routine. Saturdays are for chores and sleeping in. Sundays are for solo dates to Enzo’s By The Beach, where I spend my hours occupying a lone table and either reading or blogging.
Rather than simply ignoring real life and just talking about reading on today’s post, I decided to share a more solid titbit of my life. Though I am intimidated at times by my life here in Australia, I am also super grateful and at times disbelieving.
I won’t lie that balancing blogging and full-time work has been difficult. Downright impossible at times. But I have realised that the key is to at least try and acknowledge that you tried your best and things are exactly as they are meant to be!

I can relate to finding it difficult to balance life at university and blogging! Am glad you are finally in a routine you enjoy๐
IKR! I was so worried that I might not balance the two properly but I am really happy with what I have managed so far!
Your Sundays sound SO lovely. I’m glad you’ve got a routine and are able to get some down time on the weekends. hope work isn’t too stressful for you <3
Thanks, Salma! I really needed that Sunday detox after the weekdays I usually end up having LOL!
Thanks for the mention! Balancing blogging and work certainly does get tricky at times, but I’m glad you’ve found a routine that works!
No worries, Raji! ๐
I love your weekend routine! I definitely feel you on the struggle of balancing full time work and blogging (this is the first time I’ve gotten to blog hop all month!). But I hope you’re able to continue to take care of yourself, give yourself grace and enjoy it!
Thanks, Nicole! And it’s nice to know that I’m not the only one! I hope you are able to indulge in some self-care from time to time too!
