You guys,
how is it already the 18th of August?! This month is flying by, and frankly I'm a little freaked out by it (in fact, Chris and I totally forgot our anniversary is this weekend - oof). Where did this summer go? Thinking back,
this feels at once ages ago and just yesterday. Now, as September approaches, life feels serious again (why is this? Is this weird residual scholastic calendar stuff?). Chris and I have been having lots of talks about where we hope to end up, for the first time in a long time, we have options not necessarily dictated by jobs. The world suddenly feels at once like our oyster and completely overwhelming. Do we leave the city? Do we stay? Do we look? Do we leap? Do we just continue to talk ourselves in circles? It's an exciting time, but also completely terrifying and stressful. I find myself waking up with my head spinning at the possibilities, it's not a good way to start the day. So this weekend we're planning to get out and go hiking, because hiking (and kayaking, and yoga, and everything else that involves movement) cures everything. We're not sure where we're headed just yet, but hoping to find something outside of the city with swimming close by - any recommendations? We like a challenge. On Sunday I'm hoping to get the basement cleared out and squeeze in a trip to the farmers' market (I'd love some of
these market bags to take with me). Anyway - I hope you're
taking care of yourself this weekend after last weekend's insanity in the news, it's important to take time for yourself between rallies and having tough conversations with family, you know? Here are a few of my faves from this week:
