1) Woke up early to give Smuch his meds. He still seems to be doing well.

2) Continuing to read William Hayashi's "Discovery." I'm reading at a glacial pace, but I'm enjoying it.

3) This photo makes me miss Arizona's landscape. Incredibly gorgeous part of the country, and I'd love to go back.

4) Friend came over for lunch and I made this vegan coconut soup. I've had lots of luck with the recipes from this page in the past, and this was no different. FANTASTIC soup that I'll be adding to my regular recipe rotation!

5) Had fun chatting about travel with my friend who visited for lunch. She leaves soon for New Zealand, a place near and dear to my heart. We won't be able to exchange travel stories until after I get back, but I'm so excited for her and can't wait to hear all about her trip!

6) Starting to lay out my outfits for Bali and figuring out what I need, if anything. Only 37 days!
