Ricotta toast
From Joule in Seattle
Finally went to Joule for their brunch - fruit dish of ricotta toast, blueberry, coconut jam (not pictured), and spiced pistachio oil. They also include a buffet of miscellaneous appetizing nibbles, this month's theme was Malaysian. Yum, curry puff.

Backpacking
My 2nd backpacking trip. It is exhausting and draining hauling all your gear, but it is also immensely rewarding.

Watching the sunset

reminiscing

10 years ago today, I gathered my friends to say farewell to my Austin hometown of 22 years.

5 years ago today, I finished packing my Madison apartment for my big move to the west coast.

Today, I'm happy to be in Seattle, but I'm feeling change approaching. Change makes me more nervous than I want to admit. Here's hoping to good things coming.

Hello June!

This year is almost halfway over. Whooooaaa...

May goals? Not met...
Goal to clean out and donate/sell some of my crap? Well, I compiled them together, and ok I did clean out a little bit of stuff... but donation piles are still sitting around. Teehee?

And goal to try a new restaurant once a week? Sorta. Tried new restaurants during my trips to Austin and SF, but only tried 2 new places in Seattle, Kigo and Stop 'n Shop 45th Deli

Still in a funk. Can't shake it off. I need something dramatic to snap me out of it.

Well, might as well set some goals for June.
Hard goal: Finish booking Japan trip details for July, and potential other large summer activities (ex. Portland and/or Vancouver outings)
Fun goal: try a new activity. SUP yoga is high up on the list
