It’s been a year and a half since my last list<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"vintage<\/p>\n

1. Somewhat out of the blue, I asked my friend for a tarot reading. I’m still buzzing from it (and am grateful for the insight\u2014or affirmation, however you choose to view these things).<\/p>\n

2. On Wednesday, my dad dropped off homemade walnut “cake” (or bread<\/em>, by American tastebuds’ standards) to pair with my morning coffee. It was divine. The pairing, the thought, and the treat.<\/p>\n

3. Turns out, Wednesday was my lucky day: a different friend also did a driveby, leaving a bouquet of white peonies at my doorstep\u2014a belated birthday gift, since everything was shut down during my birthday (when COVID-19 was at its worst). I immediately trimmed the stems and arranged them (haphazardly) in a vase. Within half an hour, the tightly-bowed buds bloomed.<\/p>\n

It’s the little things<\/a>.<\/p>\n

4. I’ve slowly become a morning person. Part of it is the physical removal of stress: my home is a safe space, and after years of 14-hour workdays, I’m forced to relax instead of running to work, to class, to rehearsal, repeat<\/em>. There’s no rush. There’s no energy spent balancing personalities\u2014which can be exhausting as an introvert\u2014and less spent accommodating everyone else’s needs before mine.<\/p>\n

Instead, I’m allowed to be indulgent as I want. I rise with clarity. Make a coffee, light a candle, start my book of the day. I’m able to work in peace for the most part\u2014finally!<\/em>\u2014which is an underappreciated blessing for someone who writes and strategizes. Fewer interruptions have led to better flow. More focus. Efficiency.<\/p>\n

For this, I’m grateful. Going back into the office will be an adjustment.<\/p>\n

5. Also a foreseeable, likely difficult adjustment: re-training my body to fit into acceptable workwear. Robes, oversized knits, slinky slips, cozy sweats, eclectic looks that (unfortunately) have little place in an office, I will miss you<\/em>. And in the meantime, wear the heck out of you while I still can.<\/p>\n
