bad smells and birthday parties
Today was an interesting day of opposites, or something:
1. Around almost every corner of Evanston, Lacey and I discovered a new, more repulsive smell - from sulphur and bad eggs, to street tar, to exhaust fumes. And then, we had the MOST scrumptious lunch at Tapas Barcelona in celebration of Naseem's birthday! And lunch smelled divine...
2. I had almost nothing on my schedule and I have been working NON-STOP today! And getting a lot done, thankfully.
3. I am tired because I've had weird dreams all week and haven't slept well, but I have so much energy to get stuff done and stay focused.
And so on and so forth. In any case, I have had a great past few days. In general, I have been taking mental note of those things which bring me joy these days - all the things for which I am grateful in my life. So, thank you everyone and everything that makes me happy right now!!
(Don't worry, my dark, brooding melancholic demeanor will be back soon enough. For now, just bear with the hearts and daisies. He he!)
