out of office and on a sabbatical

hey there, it’s been a minute! things have been a little nutso and if I’m being frank I’ve been a little depressy and stressy. I’ve been working a lot and eating in more and working on managing a rough spell in my diabetes.

needless to say, I’m back on track and I’ve been lucky enough to earn a one month sabbatical from work after quite a few years of service and dedication to increasing shareholder value. (i don’t watch severance, but i am sure there would be a good reference here).

it could not have come at a better time, frankly! there’s a lot of new scary exciting changes happening in my life and I’m looking forward to having the time to be able to focus and process it all. for one, I’m moving in with blake! we’re crossing the river back to manhattan – a shock to us both! i can’t wait to explore some new spots to become regulars at, have a million groceries stores nearby, and to step my pussy UP at the big girl farmers market in Union Square. pretty soon, TYPE 1 is gonna be cooking for two!

I don’t have much food related news for you in this post, but in the spirit of not feeling like I am wasting this sabbatical away, I thought I could use this format to share all the things I’m gonna use this time to do:

• get out of my comfort zone a bit - i did some aerial yoga and got photographic evidence of it that i will NOT be sharing on here

• do some self improvement

• create a new beautiful home

• reevaluate how work and my identity intertwine

• be a pilates princess - on weekdays!!! i signed up for solidcore on a two week unlimited plan…so pray for me! otherwise, i’m ready to go more to my FAVORITE, good day!

• touch grass

• go to museums - i went to the met on a random thursday morning, could not recommend more. there is nothing better than being moved to tears by beauty on a weekday.

• get a massage/spa treatment

• cook some beautiful time intensive meals before full spring - i’ve been making a lot of shepherds pie, garlic confit potatoes, and i really want to make a pot pie!

• be okay with doing nothing
