Here’s a some family updates:
🏙 We’re back in LA for this next chapter of quarantine. I have a soft spot for South LA neighborhoods: Carson, Compton, Gardena, Torrance, Artesia. You know.
🏘 Back with my aunts. They’re both older and a BIG reason I moved back to Cali was to get to spend more time with that. That is definitely happening now.
🏆 Mom had her birthday today. She’s been staying with us too to help take care of Rhys while we work. Plus, his Tagalog was starting to get rusty. Yay mum!
🛒 I’m super happy the panic-buying has stopped and supply chains are more normal, with just a few exceptions. Mostly cause Rhys goes through baby supplies quick!
🏡 One weird thing I’ve started to appreciate a bit more are garages. Especially since most Californian homes lack basements, a garage can be a sweet hang out spot while bridging the gap between the inside and out.
🎞 I don’t really like to rewatch films once I’ve seen them. But there are exceptions for sure: The Big Sick, Arrival, Hunt For The Wilderpeople, The Farewell, Knives Out
It can be easy to think that right now we’re all just on a big break from regular life, but in reality, this IS regular life. For now and for the foreseeable future. The masks, the rage tweets, the sad commercials, all of it.
If you need time to take care of yourself, take it. But do so deliberately, instead of just waiting around for something else. Cause this is real life too!
