let me see if I can write.
I’ve been in the big sad lately, and it’s so murky. You know it’s bad when I don’t write, get out of bed, or even check Instagram. It’s been tough, and I’ve been in it.
Yesterday, I made myself get out of bed and take the A train to the J train to the Lower East Side to pick up my new glasses. Next thing you know, I was back home assembling the new vacuum cleaner. I’d been looking at it in its box all week, putting off its assembly and use with so much dread.
This might seem like boring stuff, folks, but it means my head is starting to get back together.
I woke up today and immediately took a walk, during which I bought some dumplings. I cooked them for lunch — fantastic bulgogi chicken Korean dumplings that hit the spot.
It’s funny, my walk was full of sunflowers, the official flower of my friend Lizzy, who’s getting married this weekend. I took pictures of all of them while listening to a playlist I made for the occasion since I can’t make it. I’m sad I can’t be there, but so happy for the couple and their little guy.

I realized that I’d written an email, cooked, walked around town listening to music, and even went back to making it after an entire week of lying in bed doing none of these things.
I just need to post my little theme song for feeling better, and feeling happy for my friend, it’s so uplifting:
