Hobbying: On Friday afternoon, I poured myself some N/A champagne and set up the kitchen table for some good ole crafting. The results were mixed. I am pretty good at painting watermelon slices, but my flowers aren’t there yet.
Dating: Big one. On Wednesday, we found a showing of the 1974 movie Chinatown. A few observations: 1) Roman Polanski is DARK, 2) 70s fashion is a treasure, 3) cinema went hard into smoking. It was so stylish and fun. We had to follow the plot with dumplings at Dim Sum Palace.
On Sunday, we met up with friends to watch the Man City X Arsenal fixture then brunch at K’far.
Sweating: I got back in the groove with a ten mile peloton this morning. It took me FORTY NINE MINUTES. We’re at square zero here, baby.
Buying: I bought a SHOCKING ORANGE $13 sweatshirt to top off this fairy dress I bought a few missives ago. Ehhh…. It did not work so well but I am not giving up on that sweatshirt yet. It makes me feel like a capable road worker. I also did a small amount of summer shopping at Zara. I scooped this dress to go with tall boots and this bag (monogrammed obvi) to swing around town. I’m very pleased with the quality.
Eating: I am actually kind of thriving on this diet. Wednesday is the two week mark. I’ll hold on until Saturday afternoon, when I plan to have some afternoon tinis with my husband at Dante. I’m going to reintroduce things slowly though. Even on Chinatown night, I dipped some bites and soy sauce and felt worse off for them. Bleh.
Anyhoot, I bought this salad dressing on recommendation from The Strategist. Yum! Reminder: salads are not complete meals!
Drinking: Lemon spindrift with a squeeze of fresh lime. Yeet.
Reading: Deep diving on my birth chart in advance of this Aries retrograde. Buckle up, fuckleheads.
I’ve also gotten a lot of deep breaths out of this poetry book. Lush.
Watching: Guys, I have almost caught up to Scandoval. This is going to be HUGE. I reached season nine with embarrassing speed. Things have really evened out without Jax and Kristen. I guess I’ll have to watch The Valley. Oh no.
I also waited way too long to get into Succession. We just finished season one.
Listening: The Wedding Scammer really stuck the landing for a scam podcast. I have no idea what to listen to next. Nothing has measured up. I am back to my audiobook The Body Keeps The Score, which I will be glad to have finished.
Ruminating on: The world truly didn’t notice my transition to the dark side (brunette). I’m desolate!
Cat: I cannot bear the weight of this animal’s love. It is too much.
