View from today’s Hash in South Africa
Watching: Season 2 of House of Cards. It’s like The West Wing but much, much darker.
Anticipating: My trip to Utah later this week. (!) I planned it around the longest day of the year on purpose so that I can enjoy the long summer evenings of Utah. The sun doesn’t set until 9pm!! I am looking forward to a trip to Lagoon for my dad’s work, visiting the farmers market, stocking up on refried beans, a road trip to Montana, barbecuing hamburgers and hot dogs, taking walks with my parents dog, and being outside as much as possible all in just 8 days.
Listening/Reading: “Grave Mercy” – about an assassin nun – on the recommendation from someone on the Pop Culture Happy Hour podcast.
Eating: Leftover chill – likely for every meal between now and my departure – after hosting chili night last night. It’s one of my few specialties and I find it impossible to cook a reasonable amount. My trick? Chili powder I bring back in large quantities from the US.
Working On: Clearing out my inbox before I leave this week. I always strive for, but almost never hit, “Inbox Zero.” I think it’s achievable, unless my week implodes (which is always a possibility.)
Wanting: To be better at living with ambiguity, to assume that everything is fine unless proven otherwise, to “go with the flow” more.
Playing: Still 2048, but not as much.
