Before my blogging break last year, I’d done High Five for Friday posts nearly every week for five years. I wanted to give myself more flexibility this time around, so here we are, haha. I haven’t been feeling amazing, so all I’ve been doing in my spare time is napping, playing Stardew Valley, and watching Schitt’s Creek!
But there actually has been some excitement around here!
Shots shots shots shots
I got my first covid vaccine! I can’t believe this all came together so quickly—I was able to go within days of PA opening it up for people 16 and older! I’m so relieved to be on the road to some normalcy (and lessened anxiety!). The nurses were soooo incredibly nice and created a really calm, caring environment. I wanted to stay more than the 15 minutes! 😁
I can see clearly now
My new glasses finally came in! My eyeglasses were a few years old, but my sunglasses were NINE years old, so this is big news indeed! (My sunglasses were definitely not the most effective anymore! 😬)
Picking out sunglasses was so easy—I fell in love with these ones immediately. They are completely different from my old ones (black and oversized, very traditional), so a nice change, and I LOVE the pink mirrored lenses!
I had a much harder time finding eyeglasses. I ultimately picked these ones just because they were in the brown family and sat well on my face, and I came home feeling very uncertain. It’s just such a big commitment when you have to wear glasses all the time and require super-expensive lenses! But now that I’ve had them for a few weeks, I do like them! I feel like I look like a glamorous beauty YouTuber who’s just taken out her contacts at the end of the day. 😂
If your friends are there, then everything’s all right
Lastly, I got to have a magical socially-distant bonfire with Maggie, Karuna, and Tara, three of my friends from yoga teacher training! (Maggie is also Pudge’s mom!) As you can see below, Maggie lives in a lovely wooded area. We had a lot of laughs and pulled tarot cards, and it was just SO RESTORATIVE AND WONDERFUL to be able to see these girls in person! (Including Pudgesicle, who gave me a few tentative bumps and then immediately started purring! 😭😭)
