This week’s newsletter is going to be very short. Because I’m tired and overworked and I’m writing this on Saturday night, just a little over 48 hour before Mercury stations direct, and as the planet of communication slows down, I find myself at a loss for words. So instead of serving suggestions this week, and because I like passing along good things, we’re going to have a little giveaway, instead.
Brewing tea on a rainy day, with all the sensory variations of water: rain hitting the ground; the sloshing of passing cars muffled by puddles, so that every road’s a river; the kettle’s rising bubble. Watching cartoons, reading webcomics, reading a book that came out years ago that no one expects an opinion on.
My source of comfort is my rescue dog, Murphy. He came to me in 2020 after my oldest friend and my dachshund, Otto, died 3 weeks apart and Covid came shortly afterward. He is warm, amazingly friendly and as cute as any dog can be! He has introduced me to my neighbors in a way that 30 yesrs of living here didn't do. Love that Murphy!
My comfort is a hot bath. Solves all problems. Warms you up. Allows you to have time to think without distractions. Total chill zone. Come out renewed and clean!
I'm yet to read the whole post, as I'm currently working, but I had a quick flick through to see what it was about and loved the skirt/dress you are wearing in the picture of the warm autumn picnic. If I can be so nosy, what is it and where did you get it from?
My favorite sources of comfort are: my cat Pembe; eating a whole bunch of sauteed dark leafy greens (which I should do more often, but 70% of the time when I am feeling down, I just need some greens); the guided meditations on the CHANI app; the Bronx Zoo; the live action adaptation of Kakegurui; watching Christine McConnell (either on Netflix or YouTube); music: Dua Lipa's Future Nostalgia and Carly Rae Jepsen's E•MO•TION; perfumes: Lune Féline by Atelier des Ors, L'Air Du Desert Marocain by Andy Tauer, Liebe Gustav 14 by Krigler, and pretty much anything with a bunch of amber or oakmoss.
