It's cute how my coworkers called an uber to make this trip the other day. It's 3 blocks and less than a quarter mile. They kept trying to get me to "come along and we'll stop at your place on the way," though I kept trying to explain that I live 9 blocks in the opposite direction 🫠

Did I choose my apartment because all the others had golf simulators and mine has a maintained rooftop herb garden? Maybe yes. And I made brown butter sage ravioli with organic sage clipped straight from the garden. Not my prettiest plating, but it also has my own homegrown basil on top.

I think my western US portion is hilarious because the only reason Nevada is still blank is because I forgot to go when I had to pee too bad.

Had one glorious Friday off of work, so I ate a buttload of pizza and toured the Driehaus Museum.
The front parlor at the Driehaus Museum. There are two armchairs sitting around a table under a small chandelier. There is ornate wood marquetry lining the walls And stained glass transom windows above.The dining room in the Driehaus Museum. The walls are actually lined in a derivative of the first linoleum and made to look like tooled leather. The green tree stained glass dome ceiling and statue in the Maher Gallery at the Driehaus Museum. The tiered marquetry fireplace in the reception room at The treehouse Museum. The walls above the wainscotting are covered in glossy teal floral tile work. There is a colorful mosaic above the fireplace.

I went back for vindication this morning and got the heaviest, fullest jelly donut I've ever had in my life. This is just the tip of the iceberg. I was struggling to keep the jelly in.

Why did I choose a gym where this is the workout and that is the exit? 😭😵‍💫🥵
My heart rate for an hour long workout. Like 20 min in the peak zone with a max of 195. I'm too old for that. A long, two-tier staircase to exit the gym after a hard hour workout.

Man, I remember when every place looked like this and we thought it was fancy
The view down curved stairs toward a very be-our-guest lookin'-ass wine bar that's flanked by red leatherette booths and a mosaic stone floorA view over the larger tables with bronze light fixtures spiraling down like stalactites. I've finally found one quiet daytime cafe in downtown Chicago. SHHH!The entry door, a heavy piece in cherry wood and brass opens up to a frame of metal tentacles welcoming guests into the restaurant lobby at Cafe Pisolino. A black, brown, and white mosaic stretches and spirals across the floor.

I know this is the same caliber of workout I was blasting through from 2018-2023, but damn, it feels like something else after hormonal shifts, weight gain, and ankle/shoulder injury recovery.

Last night, I woke from my slumber and thought, "what if I got a tattoo of Miss Piggy as Dolly Parton?" Completely forgot about it and woke up to a folder of inspo pics featuring Piggy and Dolly together in western wear.

Is color not allowed anymore? I went through West Elm, CB2, Crate & Barrel, and Room & Board recently. I did not find a single color except maybe a brown, a grey-green, or maybe some blue threading to break up the beige.
