life update of august 2024

It’s practically the end of August, which means for all intents and purposes, the end of summer. To me, August is like golden hour, this bright moment right before the dark and cold descend. August surprised me, which is ironic because my word for the month was indeed surprise. I got offered a 3 month … Continue reading life update of august 2024

books and songs of spring 2022

Well, folks, we are back. And by we, I mean me! Yes, I sometimes speak about myself in the plural. It’s not any less weird than someone speaking about themselves in the third person.

When the haywire becomes special

I started off my Friday by going to work at 8am-ish. I got there around 8:07, so I call that a success. Set up the study center with coffee and cleaning out the room and setting up the kitchen for baking and other miscellaneous things my job as a Hospitality Intern requires. I had some fruit, pretzels, and baked goods for breakfast. Aided in some baking and then hopped over to Vintage Lunch for a discussion on Howard Thurman and some delicious food. It was the first gorgeous day in a hot minute.
