instead of working I was...

Typing a letter...

... and reminiscing.

I found a letter from my great friend Manny up in the Bay this morning! (Did that sentence make any sense?) Such a divine way to start the week, to start a MONDAY. Inevitably it elevated my mood which carried on throughout the day. The power of a letter! So tonight after dinner I started my response, which is typewritten on one side, handwritten on the reverse and full of doodles in-between.

Also last week unbelievably I attended three shows, which, after probably half a year of barely seeing any live music, was a tidal wave of such! Jonsi, Russian Circles, and Sufjan Stevens. All amazing and powerful, though for Russian Circles I cut out early.

I made myself a second cup of tea and now am going to put on some soothing/lively music and read for a few hours. I really need to crack down on my thesis stuff!
