Saturday
I was pretty stoked to see the sun shining when I woke up for the day. I listened to the news while I enjoyed my coffee on the little stoop outside my door. Determined to get out of the house and profite-bien, I pulled on my sneakers and headed out for some neighborhood exploration. I went through all of my favorite NPR podcasts on my big lap around the village. I made it through The Daily on my lap around the outer neighborhood loop. Finally, I listened to an episode of Teaching History that covered slavery and the Jim Crow South as I started my set of four laps around the inner neighborhood loops. I rounded the last bend right as the gentle drizzle became pounding rain.
I spent the rest of my day laying around the house. I tried to read a bit, but couldn’t really get into Simone de Beauvoir’s work. I’m thinking maybe I shouldn’t start an afternoon with French gender theory in the future. Either way, I’m really learning that taking it easy does not come naturally to me haha!
In the evening, I put on a few movies. I enjoyed “Catch Me If You Can” and “The Trial of the Chicago Seven.” Also, can we go back to movies being an hour and a half? These Lord of the Rings length movies are impossible to get through.
Hoping everyone had a lovely Saturday!
