i can’t quite believe it, but this is my final quarantine dispatch.

as of today, i am back in the office to help prepare our facilitators for this year’s virtual summer conferences. my schedule will still be a little fluid the next two months, but i’ll be at the office more often than not through the end of july.

so without further ado, here’s how i spent my final week of quarantine.

things read.

• uncanny valley by anna wiener
• the child by fiona barton
• good talk by mira jacob
• allyship actions that asian americans can take to show solidarity for the black community

• minnesota freedom fund + reclaim the block
• community bail fund in memphis
• burke’s books / secret memphis [yay, holly!]
• dwj; maciel’s; mulan

recipes made.

• instant pot butter chicken from damn delicious
• braised chicken with coconut milk, tomato, and ginger from nyt cooking

physical activity.

• long walk along the river
• a few early morning runs
• hike at shelby forest

friend connections.

• long chats with chrystal and with jesse
• hike with alex and solomon

house projects.

• changed my sheets and my duvet cover, which always feels like an accomplishment

from now on i guess we are back to our regularly scheduled programming, whatever that means in the midst of a global pandemic.

stay safe my friends.
