1. Returned to work after my long staycation. Going back after a fairly long break and actually feeling refreshed was wonderful!

2. Went to the opera Friday - five hour performance. FIVE. HOURS. But it was captivating! It always amazes me that it never feels overly long!

3. Japanese BBQ, City Pop and drinks at a sake bar...heaven!

4. The Hobonichi has arrived. It took me forever to decide to take a risk on getting one, and I was worried that I wouldn't like it (I'm very picky about planners), but I love it. I think it's going to be a wonderful change in 2019.

5. Short week - looking forward to spending time with family for Thanksgiving.

6. Heading into the holiday season full of gratitude.
