Fiona Apple’s new album is amazing. Spotify showing me that two of my other friends are listening to Fiona Apple’s new album at the same time that I am. (Okay, that’s also maybe a little creepy. But in quarantine, also comforting.) I managed to get everything I needed at just one grocery store this week.
Last night’s glorious dinner Keeping a to-done list to keep away the inner critic that says I haven’t done enough. My robe from Sudara arrived and I am totally in love with it.
