1. I got to see Hamilton, newly released on Disney+. I thought it was amazing. The music was inventive, the staging was beautiful, and the cast was phenomenal! I am officially a fan of Daveed Diggs. I thought he stole the show!
2. I think we may be in the dog days of summer (or anyway, it’s been in the 90s, which is above my limit of happy temperatures), so I’ve been spending a lot of time drinking iced tea and reading good books in the air conditioning. That is making me very happy.
3. For a holiday weekend, it’s been quiet. I mean, there have been some fireworks out there making noise, but we’ve mostly stayed in, watching television, reading, playing WOW (my boyfriend), and trying to get the cat to hang out with us. Even though I didn’t get a 3-day weekend, it was still a restful, relaxed summer weekend, and while I still have to bake the homemade chocolate chip cookies I promised myself, I feel good about what I’ve gotten done and how much time I’ve been able to just lay around and leave the worries of the world outside our cozy home. That has made me very happy.
