This week, we experienced so much. My two favorites were Veterans Day and the Outlook outage. The Outlook outage gave me so much joy. I hadn’t felt that much freedom in a while. To know nothing is moving, accumulating or waiting for you. Take us back to the 90s…
It also brought to mind how we really need to retain analog backup systems. One hit to the grid or internet, and we are screwed. *pulls out mini notebook from backpack*
The Nor’easter finally brought us appropriate winter weather. The weather brings out the craving for slowness and nourishment. (More on that later). The chilliness has drawn my mind to all who are displaced from the Brooklyn building collapse. A true tragedy in our community. God bless the FDNY and those who were digging through the rubble for people.
It rained for two days straight, and the sun didn’t even come out to set itself. The darkness in the early afternoon was impressive. Five pm felt like dead of night.
I am scheming to do my Ladder Sustain weight lifting in the mornings, as usual, (I am obsessed with Ladder), and then adding some evening Alo wellness workout. My body is craving slow, controlled movement with stretch. Winter calls us to be cozy.

This week, I started reading:
