the dog days

yesterday & today

yesterday, while I was picking up some sunflowers for a gift, I decided to indulge myself with a bunch of beautiful irises. I'm more of a peony/hydrangea kind of girl, but yesterday, these violet beauties caught my eye. aren't they lovely?

speaking of yesterday, I ate an entire plate of lomo saltado at Mario's last night. and my stomach is still displeased. I think I'm gonna have to give up meat for a while. sadness.

just started The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. it's definitely a striking storyline. looking forward to how it can help my senior thesis argument.

today at the optometrist, I found out that my eyesight is great, but my eyes could develop some glaucoma kind of thing that could perchance cause blindness in the long run if not treated. as I heard the sad news, I realize how all of our bodies are breaking down, slowly but surely. our imperfections are made so manifest in both small and big ways.

since I've gotten back from the east coast, I've been so very lazy. but soon the dog days will be over. so I should enjoy it now, right?

on a happier note, I'm going to watch Lion King this weekend!! excited!
