I love the rain. There was a 12% chance of rain this morning, but it’s been sprinkling all day and it’s dark and cold and cozy. I’m finishing The Paris Affair and while it started slowly, I don’t want it to end, even though I think I know how it does, now. I almost wish we didn’t have a dear friend’s birthday dinner tonight, but alas! celebrating our friends and socializing calls. At least I have a darling new jumpsuit to wear?
Last weekend our socializing was a blast—our friends invited us for an India feast and boy they weren’t kidding! A full appetizer spread was followed by four(!!) different homemade curries. It was incredible, and we laughed and talked into the wee hours.
This week has been a long one. Funny how weeks do that. But work has been a long, stressful slog, and working out has felt more onerous than it usually does.
I am grateful I got to try out a float tank! It was very weird and very cool, I’m pretty sure I feel asleep? I might have been deeply meditating but it’s more likely I was sleeping … I think I’ll try it again, I feel like it will be even more beneficial when it doesn’t feel so new.
I’m grateful we built a terrible gingerbread house garage that immediately collapsed, while watching terrible Christmas movies … even if we still haven’t hung ornaments on the tree—and that just might be our aesthetic this year—it’s fun to be in the spirit.
Most accurate description of how I feel at the end of this week: collapsed garage.
Grateful for this work social activity: writing letters to elders who are lonely.
And a thing I am excited to explore: this new series is available now?! How am I just now hearing about it?! It’s such an incredible book, what an ambitious TV series (8 one hour episodes have dropped).
Lastly, I am SO ready for ski season! We’ll get to ski Christmas Day this year, and it’ll be our first turns of the season. It feels later than usual, but as always life has been busy!
Related, I super love the tech behind Anti Ordinary Helmets and really want one (even though I just bought a new helmet last season). I am so excited for their big partnership with Volcom! The patterned helmet is my fave: https://antiordinary.co/products/volcom-helmet
