I spent a lot of time in my car this week, and I have to say, I loved the destinations but not the miles. I kicked off the week by watching my niece and nephew perform in their dance recital. I hadn't been around that many people in a really long time and it was a bit overwhelming but it didn't matter because watching my little dancing superstars up on stage was totally worth it! Kudos to their dance studio for putting together a fantastic show during a pandemic. Honestly, the quality of the dancing was spectacular and that's a testament to the power of art. It didn't have to stop and this studio made sure it continued. Today I drove all the way to Carver for my twirling team's recital. Going to practice was the last thing I did before lock down started last March so it was great to be able to see the kids perform today.
The weather was erratic this week and the weekend was predicted to be gross, so JO and I decided to take advantage of the lovely weather on Thursday to enjoy the patio at Colette. This is one of the many restaurants that had to hibernate during the winter and it was unclear if it was going to make it to the other side of this. Thankfully, they did because it's one of my favorite spots in Cambridge. I love the bright colors, eclectic furniture, and beautiful lighting. I love the food and drink and the atmosphere. JO and I aren't ready to eat inside but Colette has a stunning patio and we certainly enjoyed ourselves!
One of my kids digitally sculpted this replica of my favorite 2021 mug and I absolutely loved it!
We've been living in some limbo lately while we wait for some puzzle pieces to fall into place and I'm kind of over it.
This is my weekly plug for Lula Wiles new album! So, so good!
The real estate market in Cambridge is out of control! We saw this place while it was under construction and it was being marketed at a little over a million. Look at what it sold for a year later.
This weekend also marked the end of the mask mandate here in Massachusetts. I'm not thrilled. I think masking indoors still makes sense and I will continue to do so. On Saturday we ran some errands and I was definitely keenly aware of who was and wasn't wearing masks. I kept reminding myself that it was acceptable and that I was the one making the choice to keep it on. I did get rather annoyed by people who were blatantly breaking the rules in the businesses that still required the masks. That's just rude. This "new normal" is definitely going to take some time to get used to.
And finally, it's time to abolish the filibuster! It's kind of a matter of extreme urgency at this point. Democracy is literally under attack!
