Life
Went to the spa for a random beauty treatment involving being frozen, and a facial, and laser. Also got a massage, which was great – needed! Worked out, read books, did a little exploring of the botanical gardens, and found some new places to eat.
Work
Busy – catching up with people before they leave for the holidays, and figuring out what projects are happening and where they are at. But really enjoying it.
Media
Finished re-reading Georgette Heyer, returning to modernity with Leave Me, which I’m really enjoying. Still re-watching Drop Dead Diva – love that show. Still plodding through Thinking Fast and Slow which is interesting but irritatingly self-satisfied.
