I drove to Milwaukee (more accurately Wauwatosa) after work today to spend a few days with my friend Jenna and see a concert tomorrow night. It’s very soon after I last traveled, but the movement feels good to me right now. Like there is forward momentum happening externally even if I feel stuck in my head.
Usually, I listen to books and podcasts on the drive, and I did some of that (finishing my re-listen of Atomic Habits and enjoying more of my D&D podcast), but I also spent a while vibing to weird music. As in, I did listen to the three albums from that Tangled series, some music from The Heathers musical, and of course some Taylor Swift. It was good. I cried a little. I’ve felt kind of thin and teary lately so it was cathartic.
At my friend’s home, we enjoy a nightcap and chat while we wind down for the evening. Plus I get to meet their adorable 4-month-old kitten. We are going to be best friends.
With Love,
Natalie
