This weekend was mellow, lazy, and productive in a minimal way, but productive nonetheless 🙂 Visited my neighbors’ new baby, played UNO and had dinner with them, and spent Sunday rearranging things around the house in preparation of my parents visit next week.
This morning I woke up at 5am, took care of my emails, did a few stretches, went for a walk in my neighborhood, made eggs for breakfast, showered, moisturized, and watched an episode of Frasier (only the best show ever). I gotta tell ya, waking up early really has a way to set up your day.
I also felt very lucky to live where I do. I was chatting with a friend who lives in Venezuela (where I’m originally from), and I told him that I would have never gone for a walk before dawn in Caracas. A woman, alone, in the dark? That’s asking for trouble. His response was: heck, a man, not alone, at noon, same thing! There’s just no way to escape crime! It’s just a shame.
Today also happens to be the day we commemorate a failed attempt to oust Chavez from the presidency. A day when his supporters unapologetically opened fire over an unarmed mass of demonstrators, and then had the balls to say it was the other way around. Things that happen out there are just outrageous and quite unbelievable. [Deep breath] Don’t get me started.
Anyways, why don’t we end in a positive note? My point is: waking up early is awesome and everyone should try it 🙂 How’s that for a closing? 🙂
Have a great day, everyone!
