There is no person without a world

By all accounts, spring has been emotionally tumultuous for us, but I feel like we are now on firmer ground. The sun shines on a regular basis, even if the wind blows cold.

Things that bring me joy these days:

• Those dogwoods
• Anne Carson
• Planning our little excursions from London (I love booking places to stay but I hate booking flights; I make Guion do that)
• Not thinking about the election
• Penelope Fitzgerald
• Taking on the write_on challenge again this year
• Preparing my packing list for the summer and scheming about how minimalist I can make my wardrobe
• A silk pillowcase
• Post-work walks with the pups
• Guion’s face
• Throwing or giving possessions away
• Broad City, always and forever Broad City
• Chopping my hair off again (see sleepy proof of second-day, less curly hair below)
