i’ll be honest, i was in a little bit of a funk last week. i overcommitted myself to happy hours and zoom calls, so i took a lot of time for myself over the weekend to get myself in a better frame of mind.

things read.

• harry potter and the deathly hallows by j.k. rowling. and just like that, the 2020 reread has come to an end.

things watched.

• never have i ever season 1 on netflix — so good!
• parks & rec reunion! i needed this
• normal people on hulu — i loved the book last year and think they did a phenomenal job with the adaptation. this one will make you feel all the things

supporting memphis / small businesses.
