Seriously. Each week seems crazier than the one before it, because it is!
Let's start with the great stuff! This week we celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary. We always do the same thing on our anniversary~ we get drinks at the Kendall Hotel, where we got engaged, and dinner at The Commander Hotel where we got married.
This year, it looked slightly different. The Kendall Hotel isn't open for drinks so we spent some time on the deserted patio reminiscing about our engagement. I'm glad we kept up this part of our tradition, even if they weren't open. Then we headed over to The Commander to have dinner at Nubar. Each year since our wedding we've had our picture taken in the lobby. That really wasn't an option so we grabbed a selfie outside and found our seats on the patio. Nubar has done an awesome job with its patio. It's beautifully decorated and very well spaced out. They even have acoustic music on Wednesdays and Thursdays! And the food was just delicious, as always! It was a lovely way to spend our anniversary and a night out in the city.
On Friday, we continued our anniversary celebration by renting out The Brattle Theater to watch the movie we saw there on our first date. It was so fun to be in the theater all by ourself, to be in a theater again, and to watch Asphalt Jungle on the big screen! JO also surprised me with roses from The Brattle Florist, which also holds a special place in our relationship.
After the movie we headed over to Noir to enjoy some drinks and snacks on their patio. The host saw my big box of flowers and asked if we were celebrating something. It was really nice of the staff to treat us to a dessert plate and drinks to end the night.
We also caught some live streaming shows by some of our favorite artists. It was so nice to hear Mark Erelli and Lula Wiles singing live again.
Today, we headed up to New Hampshire to check out the leaves. We hiked Gunstock Mountain, our favorite easy, day hike! The leaves were lovely and it was nice to get away from all of the news.
And as we watch cases in Massachusetts rise dramatically, news broke Friday morning that Trump has Covid.
I don't want anyone to be sick. I don't wish illness or death on anyone but his reckless behavior, his flaunting of rules, has now put our country at risk. He put innocent people, like the reporters, at risk. He's been saying for months the virus is over, we're turning the corner. Well guess what? The virus turned the corner, and walked right into the White House, where their only safety protocol is a rapid test that is only 70% accurate and doesn't detect people who are asymptomatic. Seriously, my pizza shop has more safety protocols in place than the damn White House and that's just sad. The president of Notre Dame has Covid after he went to a large gathering and didn't wear a mask, something students at his school have been disciplined for. I'm so sick of the blatant disregard for rules. You had to wear a mask to sit in the audience on Tuesday. Trump's family didn't wear them. You had to show up early to get a Covid test, Trump didn't. He got on a plane on Thursday and attended a fundraising event fully knowing Hope Hicks had just been diagnosed.
