Happy weekend. This week was very unproductive for me. Social media was a lot, the world is a lot; I want to hunker down and hide a little. And due to my lack of productivity, I need to do some work today and tomorrow. I’m having friends over for movie night tonight, and am otherwise just taking it very easy. On Substack yesterday, I talked about channeling a fancy-cozy vibe for fall, and that’s what I want for my weekend. Whatever you’re up to, I hope it’s great! Xx
