Good morning, ladies and gentlequeers! Let me tell you what I’m dealing with this morning: Texas weather so cool that I didn’t sleep with the AC, a sweet chunky cat lying next to me in bed, the smell of eucalyptus candles, and the leftover scent of Pine-Sol in my kitchen. I am living a dream life this weekend, and I hope you are too.

+ And I want to make sure you don’t start this week without knowing that there’s hilarious wildlife photography on NPR for when the news gets to be too much for you.

Have a phenomenal week! Drink water! Get in the sun for a little bit if you can! Smile at your friend–maybe even give them a hug if that’s your thing! I love you and can’t wait to share more good news with you next week. It’s my favorite thing!
