A housekeeping post: My fall semester starts Monday, and since I’ve been dragging a little lately, I took two days off work last week to dust out my head- and living-spaces. The extra-long weekend was EXACTLY what I needed. In the past four days I did lots of laundry, watched pictures moving on screens, went out to three brunches, drew many little illustrations, made salon & dentist appointments, walked almost everywhere, enjoyed unseasonably gorgeous weather (weather that isn’t physically painful is always unseasonable in New England, regardless of what the season happens to be), scrubbed and washed things, organized a junk drawer, and otherwise managed to be productive and lazy in ideal proportions. Some highlights:
On Thursday, I did nearly nothing.
On Friday, I painted a chair.
On Saturday, I made bagels with my boyfriend.
On Sunday, I dressed up to watch Mad Men at a retro cocktail bar.
This is going to be a really exceptional week, and I’m so ready for it.
