I typically do a liter of warm water first thing to rehydrate, wake up my digestive system, etc. If I don’t do this, I feel like SpongeBob visiting Sandy w/o his water helmet thingy.
I threw a dinner party last night and it was so much fun! It’s winter and it’s been pretty bleak, so I thought it be nice to have friends over. This was my first time hosting something completely solo and I thought it would be very stressful but it was smooth sailing and the night was merry and cute! For me this past year has really been about platonically putting myself out there and forging local friendships and last night felt like a cumulation of that effort :-) It wasn’t a super fancy meal, but still, very nice. It’s great to be invited but its also like sometimes you gotta make the magic happen
I’m sitting outside eating a spicy falafel wrap and fries in the best city (Philadelphia), the sun is shining, ambient music is being played directly into my eardrums, I’m texting friends, a child is playing and just leapt over me. I’m wishing everyone I talk to a happy new year :)
