Life Lately: Volume 79

I am feeling very excited today because this weekend Amalia and I are hopping on a plane and flying down to Florida to meet up with my mom, my sister, brother-in-law, and nieces. Anel, Luca, and my mother-in-law will be joining us a few days later (Anel has to work). We rented a big house to fit all of us and plan to hang out in the pool and the beach, cook lots of meals, and generally enjoy the sunshine. Did I mention how excited I am to get out of town?!

While we will miss Lukey and Anel a lot for the first 3 days, it will be so nice to get one on one time with my girl. Not to mention a much easier travel day haha.

Amalia came home from school early yesterday with a fever but seems to be about 50% better today. Crossing my fingers that by Sunday she’s good to go for travel.

I have to get back to my tiny little patient over here so need to cut this short but have a great weekend!

AROUND THE WEB

How alcohol lost its cool. A friend sent me this article from last fall filled with stats like this: “The non-alcoholic beverages market has grown by over 506 percent since 2015, and Google searches for “sober curious” peaked in 2021 following the pandemic.”

The 2023 architectural “wow” list features today’s boldest works of architecture, art, and design. I perused this list for an hour the other day!
