Yay! I’m celebrating with an aperol spritz. It’s quite tasty. Not terribly potent—a good after dinner drink when you want to relax, not get blasted.
Yeah, it's my friend's favorite.
Atherton: Half the men in this room wish you were on their arm, tonight. Inara: Only half. I must be losing my indefinable allure.

Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.

That was our go-to drink for outdoor concerts this summer. It looks so pretty and fancy but it’s easy to make out of a cooler.

Yes, thank you. I don't spend much time on FB so I get updates here.
Just got back from the dog park. It was dew covered, which was different. We had rain a few days ago, which was the first time in a very long time. I checked the forecast and they predict rain again on the 10th. And yet, humidity of 95%, so yes I was very sticky by the time I left the park.

Packing up our hotel room.
Hospital at 1pm. Should be done in an hour or so.
Will talk to the concierge to have a cab waiting for us at 3:30 and back to the airport.
So far so good. I expect hotel living will lose it's novelty pretty soon, but I'm glad to have my new laptop, and getting used to a new routine.
Life is weird. None of my expectations about where I would be in five years have come true since I went to college.
We just passed the one year anniversary of home ownership last month.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Keep your receipts. Even if you are not the one footing the bill.

So much this. Going back to my teens. This is likely why I abandoned the notion of expectations decades ago. Now most of my life has been spent as go-with-the-flow girl. There is a certain serenity in this.

I am keeping the receipts and they are footing the bill.
Front Desk To me: That minibar charge is correct?
Me: Yes.

I can't say I've felt particularly serene lately.
But I am definitely trying to flow.

Oh, my, yes, likewise.
