Short work weeks often feel like an eternity and this one was no exception. I am spent. I had to chuckle when I came across this “No Spoons Left - Only Knives” cross-stitch. That was me all week long. Last weekend I had my hair braided at RenFest and have been so busy and exhausted that I’ve just left the braids in. I’m afraid to see what a hot mess my hair will be when I finally undo that talented woman’s handiwork. Happy to be home now but already glued to the couch and too tired to cook. My son made himself dinner and managed to set off the spooky talking smoke alarms. Again. Perhaps he doesn’t need to cook his veggie burgers on high until they turn into little briquettes.
Five good things for Friday:
- This is fantastic news: Uptown’s Suburban World Theatre sold for over $1 million and will be returned to its former glam glory
- Last night I saw Nico 1988 at the theater. There were maybe four people in the audience, including myself.
- Mizna’s 13th annual Arab Film Fest is just a couple weeks away. Passes are available for purchase now!
- NPR’s First Listen is streaming Low’s latest, Double Negative
- The weather has been better this week, with a lower dew point. Sunny and warm while not humid? That’s my favorite. I went on some lovely walks this week. Though one was a bit odd. While walking around a nearby lake I was chased by a baby squirrel! For a good long while. I managed to outrun it but it was a close thing. I thought it was going to scamper up onto me. A passing jogger laughed at me. I would have laughed at me too.
Attempting to rally now so I can feed myself, then hang out with friends tonight. I’ve been spending too much time alone this summer when that sort of behavior is generally more for the dark winter times. Working on balancing self-care and social activities.
