Week 12: Autumn Vibes

This week’s notes are coming in two days late, on Wednesday instead of Monday. I’ve just had too much on my plate, too little sleep and didn’t feel like writing.

• We are traveling to Rome in a few days and I am super anxious and insomniac.
• Autumn officially started on the Equinox (Sep. 21st) and I swear on that very same day the weather changed drastically from bikini and cold beer by the pool, to raincoats and watching netflix while drinking hot tea. It’s Autumn, alright. 🍂
• In the kitchen this week: mom made a batch of chickpeas on the instant pot; I baked a loaf of sourdough bread; MIL made salmon and potatoes; I made my world-renowned, award-winning Carbonara. 🍝
• I am taking a break from Agatha Christie. Just started reading We by Yevgeny Zamyatin (1921) and MAN what a book!!! Only 10% in, completely hooked already. 📚
• 📺 Finished Girls from Ipanema on Netflix. Interesting story, wonderful soundtrack, all ruined by an excess of drama and poor acting (think: faces, gestures, outbursts, tears). Also, what’s with all the giant women’s nipples in our faces? Where are the men’s nipples?! C’mon!
