a week in my life in self isolation - getting tested 😷 Georgia Richards

oh no wait i didn't realize i looked like this today oh well hello friends and welcome back to another vlog i am just so all over the place right now and this is also very like odd time in the week to start a vlog it is thursday today but i just want to catch you up on how my week has gone so far on sunday night rachel and i kind of came down with some flu-like symptoms we both had a sore throat rachel had a really runny nose we both had headaches and just felt really fatigued just like the common cold but obviously with everything going on with the coronavirus at the moment we thought it would be best to go and get tested especially with the rising of cases in queensland at the moment we just knew that getting tested was the right thing to do so on monday morning we went and got tested i did vlog before and after not the actual test but i'll insert those clips now because monday morning is almost 11 30 a.m and we've been waiting for about an hour um which isn't too bad we're like pretty close to getting tested i think maybe in the next like 20 minutes a little bit nervous i feel like i wasn't until i was waiting in line it's been like an hour of being a little bit stressed our friend amy from melbourne is also getting tested at the moment so we're on facetime so we've been facetiming this whole hour which has actually been quite nice i know it only lasts for a little bit of time i just don't want it keep your eyes actually i think because i'm so exhausted so you don't have the energy to be yeah exactly like i feel so like numb i still really wanted up my nose because my nose is like blocked a little bit i just can't even couldn't even care less to be able to stick up my nose it might help kind of nice to know you're not alone though like there's little literally hundreds of people who are getting tested as uh and we're together bang over monday morning rock on i don't want to like freak anyone out but i do want to tell you guys how it went because i feel like it's good to know so they do one swab of your throat and then one swab of your nose my throat wasn't too bad rachel said that her throat is bad but the nose one really hurt like still kind of hurts now but i can breathe outside out of my nose which i couldn't really before like the nose felt really long like she put it in and i was like oh okay okay this be the worst of it she'll take it out soon and then she didn't so i closed my eyes to kind of just like hope it goes faster and then she took it out and then it was over she was really nice she was she was they were all really nice yeah literally every person yeah we talked to a lot of people in different so many people overall good experience it took like what an hour and a half yeah in total yeah we're just going to go home and try and relax and chill as much as possible because whether we come back negative or positive we're still sick we're still sick and have flu like symptoms but we don't want to go back to work feeling yeah we're feeling that's the update happy monday we thought that we would probably get the results on tuesday we thought it would be like a 24 hour turnaround but it is now thursday and we still haven't got the results yet which has just been quite frustrating obviously i know how blessed i am to be in the position that i am like i know that the people in melbourne when they get tested and comes back negative their life doesn't just go back to normal whereas my life does really go back to normal as soon as i get my negative result however has been frustrating having to isolating ourselves from everyone until we get the results especially when we were mentally and physically prepared for it to only take 24 hours and now it's been four days so my brother had to do some grocery shopping for us rachel's mom has brought us over some soup being at home and resting has been really good because most of my flu symptoms have passed um i just have a bit of a blocked nose but other than that i'm feeling pretty good which i don't think i would have recovered so well if i wasn't just stuck at home for four days straight i have got a video edited and uploaded every single day so i'm getting my fourth video finished today which is very very good i almost like needed these days at home to catch up on my life because i feel like in my last weekly vlogs you'd have seen i've just been so overwhelmed and i've had so much going on that i really needed some time at home my only frustrating thing is i've had to get my shifts covered at work and that's been super inconvenient for everyone at work and that is like my biggest nightmare is being an inconvenience to people when i can do nothing to fix it so frustrating but again i know that getting tested was the smartest thing to do and at the end of the day i'm trying to keep myself and my loved ones safe so i had to get my shift yesterday and today covered i'm really really hoping that i get my test results today so that i can work for the rest of the week and cover the people chefs who covered mine while i was gone but it is a day today and i have just been sitting on the couch all morning i had some breakfast and i've just been finishing off a video my laptop is dying so i've put it on charge upstairs while it is exporting my video all i have to do with the rest of that one is upload it to the description box and make a thumbnail for it and schedule it for later on in the week which is incredible i have three videos going up this week which is just ah too good that is what i've been wanting for so long but i was sitting on the couch and a postie came and dropped a package for me so i thought i would open it with you guys this is from naked harvest supplements i don't judge my knife i don't know where else this has gone okay i have that feeling that when you like you know when you do a really intense workout and then your like body is shaking and like you know that yeah that's how i feel right now because i folded my washing i don't know can i get you anything packy peanuts this vlog isn't sponsored but i am working with them on instagram which i'm really really excited about oh i got a water bottle and a shaker that is so cute this is a [Music] water bottle yeah so strong wow i love water bottles with straws wow that's so exciting every time so i ordered some pre-workout i got it in the grape flavor first of all this looks way bigger in real life than it does online it's taped i can already smell it yum oh my gosh it smells like grape hubba bubba it's very full too wow that smells so so good no artificial colors flavors or sweeteners vegan friendly gluten-free dairy-free and refrying sugar-free oh my gosh i cannot wait to taste that and then i also got some thrive plant protein in mango cheesecake how yum i don't wanna i don't wanna open it yet but keep an eye out on my instagram obviously i'm working with them so you'll see what i think and what my opinion is i'm so excited maybe i need some pre-workout get me through the rest of my day my discount code for naked harvest is love gr if you did want to pick up anything but again not sponsored just putting that out there i'm gonna get off the land room floor and i need to tidy my room and i really don't want to it just seems like such an effort but i have a basket of clean water i need to put away and another few random pieces and i want to vacuum because it's a bit gross and then we'll see what the rest of this day [Music] holds [Music] so [Music] [Music] so rachel's mom is actually the best person we've ever met in our entire lives she popped over by her house yesterday obviously keeping her distance but left a big container of chicken and vegetable soup at our door which is genuinely the sweetest thing ever so rachel and i are having some soup with some toast for lunch very excited wow everywhere i've ever been good morning this is queen to health covered are you after private results yes georgia yes okay georgia your results are back you are not detected for code but you are free all right perfect all right you will get a text message at some stage okay all right no problem thanks so much for that on okay take care bye hello um i just called and they said that my results have come back negative just like letting you know that i can do your shifting thank you no i'm really sorry no you'll find at least you don't have favorites yeah thanks bye i just thought i would keep you guys updated on what is being going on so it is friday today and it is just past midday it's quarter past 12 and i've actually had a pretty good morning i've got a lot done i went on a morning walk slash run i walked for like i don't know how long i didn't put my apple watch on i literally haven't worn my apple watch in like six days just because i don't want to be disappointed with the fact that i'm not closing my rings but like i've been sick and have been having to stay at home so like i'm just giving myself some grace right now but i walked for a little while and then i got bored so i was like i'm just gonna run home it felt like maybe like a k in a bit but it felt really good to have my body moving again i'm really excited to get back into the swing of things but yesterday when we called up to ask about our results they said to call back tomorrow if we hadn't had our results by midday so we called them and as you would have heard we came back negative rachel and i both which is very ideal i still have a couple of things i need to do around the house but for now i'm making lunch i've just got some chicken and salad wrap and i'm just ready for my chicken in the airfryer i'm gonna eat this and then rachel and i are gonna go run a couple of errands we're gonna go to kohl's and go grocery shopping rachel has a couple of things she needs to pick up we have a bunch of stuff we want to donate in the back of our cars so we're going to do that and then i'm going to come home and keep smashing out my list of things to do i might even go to the drivers and edit because i just want to leave my house so much um and then tonight i might go after dinner with someone or something i don't know i just don't want to be in my house tonight that's the plan i'm gonna eat my lunch and live my life oh such a weight lifted off like so happy that is negative and so happy i get to go to work tomorrow i felt so bad about getting my ships covered at work like i genuinely wanted to cry every day about being an inconvenience to people so i'm very very happy i can go back to work [Music] rachel and i just got her from grocery shopping so i thought i'd give you a very quick grocery haul i did a pretty big shop this should last me the whole week it's just the same thing that i get every week so i'm sorry if these are repetitive but also if i don't include them you guys get upset so first of all yo pros on special so i've got two mango and i got one blueberry because mango is my favorite and i haven't tried the blu-ray before for me i got some chicken and some ham i got a mixed packet of frozen carrot peas and corn because it's just my favorite and just so easy to chop the like rice and chicken for a quick dinner i got some potatoes these spotlight ones my favorite and these are baby spotlight which i didn't even know existed but it's honestly ideal i've got a lint roller because i needed one and i ran out of my other one i also got some milk some bananas sweet snacking tomatoes some pinkly apples one capsicum a bag of spinach and iced egg lettuce and i got some baby cucumbers because i love snacking on these and even just like cutting up just way easier and lasts a bit longer than like a big cucumber big fan i also got a box of tissues as well because i've been sick and i ran out of tissues that is everything that i picked up it is currently three i really don't know how that happened today this day has gone so fast and even though i've been at home in the past five days straight i still feel like there's some stuff that i want to get done so i'm going to quickly pack this all away and i'm going to finish up on some computer work i also have a couple of packages coming in the mail this afternoon which is exciting so i'll open those with you a little bit later on but i'm going to get into some computer work [Music] i've just been sitting in front of my computer for a little while my eyes hurt i think from sitting in front of my computer screen for five consecutive days my eyes are very very sore anyway the reason i started this clip is because ah anyway now that my eyes look wild that i've rubbed them the reason i started this clip anyway the reason that i started this clip is because i got two packages in the mail today and i wanted to open them on camera just because i'm excited and also i love seeing other people open packages and vlogs so i thought that i would show you what i picked out this first package is from rebel sport i had some birthday money and i have been wanting this crew neck ever since i got it in a different color which i know sounds so excessive and it is and i have way too many crewnecks but it was birthday money like i don't have to have an excuse to spend my birthday money you know oh yeah i like it how good so this nike crew neck is from rebel i have had a lot of trouble trying to find it a lot of people were trying to get me this for my birthday it was a bit of a struggle um but i found it online so if you're interested and the second package that i got is from amen sportswear and i am so excited i do have a discount code with them which is georgia10 if you wanted to save 10 off your order feel free to use that if you do please dm me show me what you pick up i picked up this gray cropped long sleeve which is really cute yeah such good quality hey i have this in a light blue color and i just figured that a grey would be such a staple i did actually go up a size in this so i got this in an extra extra large just because they are like made to be pretty tight and i just wanted it to be like not as tight i also picked up this sports bra oh that is so cute i saw riley healthy chicken when i wanted to wear this on her instagram she just looked so great and i was like you know what i want that i love that the straps are really thin i feel like you don't really get supportive sports bras that have thin straps very often so i'm very excited to see how this one goes how it holds up i got this in a large and the last thing i got is just a pair of plain black tights how would you explain this material they're kind of scoobery literally in the best way possible like just like clings to you i think it's very very flattering very comfy the waistband sits really nicely i actually have these pair of types just in like a different style this one says amen just on the hip there in like a little black writing and i have these where it says amen in white as well but i love them so so much i wear them every leg day because they just always hold up the best and they're just so comfy so flattering they are a little bit long on me but i just roll them up but i roll most of my tights up because i am short anyway that is all of the clothes i have to show you it's currently almost 5 p.m and i'm going to go to my brother's house tonight for dinner oh well i don't know i'll keep you updated whatever i end up doing [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] hello friends it is currently sunday night and i know that this vlog has been an absolute mess i feel like this week i've just kind of been all over the place i'm getting so much done but like filming has not been my priority but i still want to upload this and include this because i feel like it'll be a very interesting thing to look back on because i don't know we're in a pandemic and i like got tested and i was sick for a week and i had to stay at home for a whole week so i still want to upload this and bring you along but i just wanted to sit down and have a chat a bit of a life update bit of a check-in i guess just because i feel like i haven't done that in a little while and i feel kind of disconnected especially this week because i've been uploading lots of old content from older vlogs but i didn't post much my instagram story this week i don't think i posted anything at all until today and i just feel like distant from you so i just wanted to sit down and tell you like where i'm at how i'm doing this obviously is the end of the video so if you don't care feel free to end and skip the video now but for those of you that want an update here i am i have honestly been doing pretty well actually which i feel like i don't normally talk about if i'm doing like a live update it's normally when life isn't going too good and i just want to like keep you up to date but i have genuinely just been loving life lately which is so good we all know where i have been over the past month i've brought you along for literally every single thing that i have felt i feel like i'm almost a little bit too open online but i also just want to get over that like i want to get over the fact that people over share online because when people over share that makes me feel so much more connected to them and it makes me feel like i'm not alone the reason people think people over sharing is bad is because they're talking about things that are not spoken about very often and most of the time that's the thing that people need to hear the most i feel like my whole life i've been surrounded by so many people who don't talk about certain topics or certain feelings or just like have deep conversations about anything because they're like taboo subjects and there's like so many reasons why people don't share too much but i just want to get over that like i just want to be past that i want to be vulnerable online without thinking that it's bad that i'm doing so if that makes sense i want to connect with people online and i want people to feel connected with me online and me just sharing the surface level of my life and my feelings and my emotional and my mental health that's not really benefiting everyone that's just bringing you along for my life making my life look perfect and that's just not fun i just don't want that i'm not here for that so i think it's important that i show you when i'm doing really well or if i show you what i'm doing really badly you guys feel like some of my closest friends which i know sounds so crazy but i genuinely just feel so connected to some of you and it just warms my heart so much that no matter what happens i have this tiny little online family that is always going to have my back and always support me it is a little bit scary because there are a lot of people watching this right now who don't care about me and who are just watching this because they hate me and just want to feel their hate for me there's people in here that know me in real life but not really well and are getting a whole another glimpse into my life that i wouldn't give in person if that makes sense so it is a little bit scary but also i just want to get over it i just see no point in just sharing the surface level of my life with people especially online when it's way more comfortable to do so than in person if any of that makes sense i don't know where that rainbow just came from but you guys have seen the pretty low lows of the last couple of months obviously we're in a pandemic there's so much going on the hospitality industry definitely took a slam in the middle of that and that definitely affected me my mental health my physical health and i really brought you along for all of that you've seen me cry too many times but something kind of just switched maybe like four weeks ago maybe and you guys have noticed you guys have been commenting on my videos the nicest things i've ever heard in my life without me even saying anything you've noticed the change in my mood and my outlook on life and just the joy that i am genuinely feeling and that's true like i genuinely just feel so joyful which i am so grateful for even more grateful because i went through the dark times as well nothing necessarily changed for me to like flip my like emotions like that um i think i just had to give myself some time let myself be sad feel the sadness feel the loneliness like sit with it and then move on i feel like when i tend to get sad or lonely or upset or angry i tell myself that i shouldn't be allowed to feel those feelings and i just push them aside but that is literally never going to benefit you because they'll just bounce back because you haven't dealt with them properly so this time around i kind of just sat with it it lasted weeks and it was really really hard every day i told myself that my feelings were valid which is such a hard thing to wrap your head around and i know this sounds so crazy but i would wake up and be like wow i'm so lonely like i just feel empty and sad and lonely and instead of saying you want to let it feel lonely because you have so many great friends you have a loving family you have thousands of subscribers who love you you have such a great life you have so much to be grateful for i know that those are true but i also know that the feelings i am feeling right now are valid and i have genuinely just never felt better like i genuinely feel like i'm peaking in my life right now which worries me i am currently working out more than i ever have in my entire life i finally understood what i need to be eating and how i should be dealing with the food side of my health i feel like i have a really good balance between work life and my social life as i said before when i like sat down and i like dealt with the feelings that i were feeling i felt that for so long that i had almost just had enough of being sad obviously no one wants to be sad but sometimes when you're sad for a really long time you kind of just get used to it and you kind of just like don't want to change it but i had been sad for so long i was so sick of it and i was like you know what this is it this is the turning point i am going to change this obviously with help from my pt but i have never felt as strong and motivated as i do right now i have changed so many things in that aspect of my life and i've noticed changes already so obviously when you notice changes you want to keep going and that is just motivating enough honestly and the fact that i just feel so good inside and out why would i want to stop like why would i wake up and think oh it's not really worth it today i'm not motivated enough to get out of bed i feel like i am just rambling on but i'm just feeling really really good and obviously i want to bring you guys along for the good and the bad and right now life is really good i'm feeling really good emotionally physically spiritually our church has actually gone back into in-person church which is so good this week was our second week back but we have always been doing a small group this whole like quarantine time we did it on zoom for the first half obviously but we've been meeting in person for a little while and honestly that small group fills my heart right up to the brim like i genuinely are sitting in there today i was like i wish i could film our conversation in our discussion because we were having such good discussions about things that i'm so passionate about and i love hearing everyone else's opinions on and i just feel so full and like fulfilled and loved and motivated and encouraged when i'm surrounded by these people i have been going to church literally my whole entire life and it has taken me 22 years to build up the courage to join a small group at my church and i am so angry at myself that i didn't do it sooner oh i just noticed has that been like that this whole clip gets stuck on my heel experience ow in small group we're actually listening to a podcast called fight hustle and hurry and this week the episode was on slowing down and i feel like in today's society slowing down is not a thing that people do and and we went around the group and we were talking about if we like feel like we need to slow down or what we took from the podcast or anything like that and i was saying that at the end of the week i don't want to be so tired and so exhausted that i need to take a whole day to do all the things that i love and rejuvenate and do a big self-care day those are all well and good and sometimes you may need to do them just depending on the current time and situation of your life but i don't want to live a life where every week i feel so exhausted that i just need to take some time to myself i want to live a life where i am not tired of my life i want to be doing things every single day that i count of self-care so that by the end of the week i can keep going i feel like self-care is sometimes seen as unproductive but it is generally one of the most productive things you can be spending your time on and it has taken me literally 22 years to realize that but the more productive you want to be the more time you need to be looking after yourself you're not going to be able to complete all the tasks you want and get everything done if you are not firstly looking after yourself you will burn out you will get exhausted and you will need a whole day to rejuvenate and recharge yourself so you can do it all again like it just seems so pointless to me when you can just slow down enjoy one day at a time do things that will make you feel relaxed and rejuvenated every single day for me what has helped i've just tried to slow down my mornings and my night times mainly because i'm so frantic at work because i work on the hospitality industry it's so fast paced which i love and because i'm a manager i'm having to think of 10 000 things at one time while make like 20 copies of the screen full of red dockets but if i wake up and i watch the sunrise and i just sit in silence for a little bit and i just think about how grateful i am for the day and then i get out of bed and i do a workout which will make my mind and my body feel so so good i then jump in the warm hot shower and i just stand there thinking how great showers are and then i take my time and i do my skincare and i get ready for the day and then i go downstairs and i make myself a coffee and how good is coffee and then have a great breakfast i pack myself up and i go to work i just love the idea of slowing down your life so that you can love your life instead of needing to take time off and recharge from your life i don't know if any of this makes sense but i'm just so passionate about it and i've only really just like mastered it obviously i have so much growing to do we always have more growing to do you'll see in my vlogs i literally do the same thing every morning i've already had comments of people complaining that my vlogs are all the same that's just because i vlog my everyday life and i love my low productive morning routine so i'm gonna keep doing it and i'm gonna keep filming it because that is what my channel is literally just my life i didn't really mean to go on a ramble like that anyway i think that's my life update done i don't know how much of this i'm gonna keep in but i'm just feeling really happy and i'm loving life and i hope that you guys are too you guys are the best you deserve the world never settle for anything less thank you for always supporting me and encouraging me i really really don't deserve it and i am just so so glad that you're here if you enjoyed this random vlog don't forget to give it a thumbs up and subscribe to my channel if you haven't already and i will catch you in my next video in the very near future bye you
