Good Things

  • Dinner from Cafe Sushi: Chirashi, salad, and blistered shishitos. Perfect.
  • Monet painting the same locations over and over.
  • Finding a 20 and a 30 lb. dumbbell at Target! (I’ve generally avoided going in person, but it was thankfully quieter than the supermarket.)
  • A cold mile through an (empty) Harvard square. Bittersweet.
  • New pillows and pillow cases.
  • Legs up a chair in astronaut.
  • My *Do The Thing crew. (Regulars and pop-in’ers!)
  • New team mates!
  • Power Yoga tonight with Chelle.

Welcome to December!

Dinner tonight was absolute *perfection*. Skate wings from Red’s Best cooked in a little butter and olive oil, salt and pepper. Made a pan sauce with lemon. Served over seasoned rice with rice vinegar and furikake. Could I have used some greens? Probably. But it was just the perfect plate as it was.

Movement: started my attempt at going back to 3 miles, 3 times a week again. Got in a perfect relaxing run, breathing only through my nose (slows you down and keeps your heart rate low), with Marie Kondo’s Joy at Work on Audible as I ran along. I also enjoyed my regular Tuesday Yin class with Yasmene. Long slow holds. Or as Elyse put it tonight: “She’s like your Yoga Fairy Godmother!”

Recommended Holiday Watching: Dash and Lily on Netflix. Cute nerd teen self discovery treasure hunt rom com. 8 episodes, a satisfying ending. Now I need something with the same vibes.

Good Things: Tech. I’m closing all my tabs before heading to bed tonight. No more waking up with dozens of tabs!
