1. Still playing The Minimalist Game. I wish I'd taken before and after photos, especially of my storage closet and my clothing closet. I'm amazed at how much I've been able to let go, and I think I'll actually be able to finish the whole month.

2. Last full week of work before staycation! Making a bucket list...

3. Took my bow in for a much needed re-hairing and bought all new strings. My violin is so resonant now.

4. Too many books from the library released from hold at the same time. SEND HALP.

5. Spent Saturday making spooky-themed cocktails with a friend. This one turned out pretty good.

6.  My heart aches for the victims of the Pittsburgh shootings. Been making sure to check in with all of my Jewish friends the past few days to see how they're doing and let them know they're loved.
