life has been really, exhaustingly, busy lately. i've taken the L train four times this week - which is on the opposite side of the island - so that's saying something.
i'm still unsure which conditions i function best under - those days in which i wake up at 11, go to yoga, take a nap in the late afternoon, curl up with a good book or a movie inside my apartment, out smarting the vicious single-digit degree winds that pound on my window? or those days in which i slip in a quick workout and a few meetings here and there and a class or two and THEN go out to that hip-place-for-dinner i've been eyeing on the nytimes for the past few weeks?
also, can we just talk about this weather for a second? actually, i'd rather not, as the rest of the world is in a current state of "OMG THE WEATHER" word vomit. i remember in december when i would ask my roommates "ha ha, do you guys think that it will be this cold in january? that would be crazy!" and then it proceeded to get colder. that's kind of funny.
my dad also spent last week sending me pictures from his view in hawaii. that wasn't funny.
keep warm out there!
