While the trip was great, I really needed some down time. I felt rushed trying to plug away at my hours for work, but get up early to overlap with the team and then go to the gym, and cook, and do life admin and see friend. It was a bit much 😦
My physical self caved and I got sick twice in about 10 days. It was pretty worrying with all the covid cases still happening and masks not really that mandatory other than in indoor places. I didn’t want to get anyone else sick! Plus the weather was really hot. Just sticky, barely any wind… and it only was like that 3rd week of July so coming back it felt very chilly! Sigh
So it was a good lesson to sloooooowww down. Had a chill day with M for his bday and some friends over which was nice. I got a crookie (part cake/part cookie!?) cake from Perlette and it was really nice 🙂 I got M a little DIY terrarium too and he seemed very pleased.
My friend M was in town last minute and it was great to see her. She’s having a hard time at work so glad she took some stress leave to take care of herself 🙂 We, her brother, his partner and M + I all went to Mexcal for some authentic Mexican and the guacamole and mole were great! Amazing housemade chips and tortillas too 😀 Meat was rather overcooked but I’d go again to give them another try 🙂
I also went to catch up with some friends at a local cafe, Captain Arabica, that is pop culture and just chill and fun. They had some little bites and I got chicken fingers (okay) and Chevre croquettes (yum!) – Stick with cheese with the French, can’t go wrong lol
Feeling more chill and relaxed now 🙂
