Mirepoix

Man oh man was I in a funk yesterday. I think it was largely a layover from Tuesday night when first the surprise Goldbelly treat I ordered for my beau failed to arrive and then the restaurant we had to order from instead sent us someone else’s order. But I couldn’t move past it yesterday when work was just blahhh and it was a very gloomy day outside. I spent a lot of time reading to escape to a different world and it’s starting to do the trick. I’m definitely feeling more myself today and looking forward to a full “me” evening while Albert is out tonight. I’ll probably recreate last Thursday – more on that below…

My beau was out on Thursday night and last week was…a week. I took the opportunity to make a favorite supper, watch my shows, read my book, and do a fancy face mask. This Dr. Jart+ mask was incredible. I’m used to the cheap masks I get in the checkout line, which are relaxing but I never think they do all that much. This mask had me straight up rejeuvenated.

For Valentine’s Day, my beau planned a date night for a week and a half later. We went to see Titanique – an Off-Off-Broadway show that spoofs Titanic to a full Celine Dion playlist. It was so funny and I loved every second. Albert may have been the ony straight male there, and he fully owned it. Highly recommend.

After a day in the mid-50s, the temp dropped considerably today, which meant it was fully warranted to break out both the winter mug AND the raw sugar-dipped cinnamon stick. Thankfully it’s set to warm up again a bit over the next few days, but having a cozier mug of coffee made this morning much easier while it’s cold.
