Looking back at this past week, I see and feel that it’s been tinged by sadness over my friend’s husband passing. Before I say anything else, I just want to say thank you for all people who extended their condolences, and I subsequently passed them to her. She is being very strong and she knows that I (and her other friends) are here for her and the boys.
Week highlights and pats on the back
- The Golden Hour: I congratulate myself on the Golden Hour each morning this week. My Golden hour includes meditation, writing morning pages, a brief workout, and overviewing my upcoming day. Having that peace in the morning is essential to me functioning properly throughout the day.
- Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn – entertaining and disturbing. Liking it.
- An order from Nordstrom: as an under buyer, I rarely spend money unless I absolutely need it. At this moment I need a one-piece swimsuit, a summer dress, and face cream. Placed an order for three swimsuits and a few dresses. After I try them on and decide on one I will keep, the rest will be returned to our local Nordstrom. No way I will keep everything, even if they all fit.
- Decided to schedule a Korean facial and a massage. Ugh, part of me just hates spending money but I feel like my skin needs it (aging, sun spots, dullness, etc) This facial is in a Korean spa and sauna in the town over, about a 15-minute drive.
- Dinners this week: one highlight is pan pockets (in essence, dumplings) and edamame. I am Russian but I do appreciate Asian cuisine very much. Asian culture does have a tremendous influence on Russian culture (borders with Mongolia, China, Kazakhstan, and other central Aisna countries). In the East: the water border with Japan and a very short border with North Korea.
