that feeling when

TFW you unknowingly buy the most comfortable bra ever.

simple and delicious

Gazpacho, charcuterie, and cheese toast (finished with a broil) is the easiest delicious summer lunch.

try try again

After 15 months of inactivity except when absolutely required, I just did yoga again.

oddly satisfying

Just look at this picture of my "things with long sleeves" drawer.

dog days

Picked up the CEO's dog (Henry's favorite work friend) this morning, headed straight to a dog party where there were eleven dogs (and Henry did really well), and getting ready for a nice afternoon nap and lots of good doggo time for the next few days.

purge

Lots of new things from summer sales and a free Saturday, so it's time to do a full closet evaluation and purge with a 90s playlist blasting in the background. Oddly satisfying.

crushing it

Second time this week that I've gotten my work inbox under ten!

zzz

Nine hours of good sleep punctuated with vivid dreams and ending with intervals of waking up and sinking back into unconsciousness. Bliss.

free

When the shoe company you're obsessed with slides into your DMs to ask if they can use your comment as a post, and you're flattered and happy, AND THEN they offer you a free pair of shoes as a thank you 😍

Seriously, everyone should try these ($20 off here).

sunday surprise

Out of town cousin texted this morning that he's in town, and the stars aligned so that he, my sister and her girls, Boyfriend, and I were able to go eat lots of soup dumplings and then talk for a few hours. Then older niece took a bunch of my clothes and shoes that I had just culled from my closet this week, giving some of my old faves a second life.

raid the pantry

Lunch today was made using what I had handy: mac and cheese with buttermilk and sriracha. Possibly better than normal milk, but I think I'll stick with cayenne for spice.

bacon lettuce tomato

Nothing says summer like a BLT with fresh California produce. Throw in some ripe avocado and the sriracha mayo that my mentee in prison made and gave me last time I was there, and it's a perfect summer dinner.

many happy returns

Returned a ton of stuff today, so satisfying.

nice choppers

At his physical last week, Henry's vet complimented his six year old teeth, saying they were as clean as a puppy's.

summer party

Summer party at the boss's house with my sister. And a baboon. Followed by burgers with coworkers at home.
