cappuccinos i made for myself and karen this morning. bialetti + milk foamer, i love you so much, so so so much.

update on bike:
after bothering male neighbors numerous times and taking 4 trips to ace hardware in one day the primer has been laid. every time i went to the register (same employee all 4 times) he kept asking me if i was sure i didn’t want an ACE card. i kept saying no because i kept promising it was the last time. i had to go back again today. found out i have to go again tomorrow.
completely unrelated, the gaping toscana-shaped hole in my heart remains unfilled :( and it can only be filled with a bollito and limone gelato from piazza della passera. but we tried our best today and met up at icekrimski… unanimous consensus: simply not the same. but look how cute we are.

un buon fine settimana.
today bryan and chris helped me take apart a road bike that i just bought, or rather i watched while they took it apart.. but i spent almost two hours sanding it down and stripping away the teal 80’s paint on it. tomorrow it will be spray painted and given new life!

and i finally cleaned my room and put up a shelf for my books so i finally have space to study at my desk..

andddd, because karen and i love our coffee so much, a new pantry shelf has been born.. 
the other sections hold our less serious vices… wine, tea, and basically anything that looks good in a glass jar.
for @vivianpan, as per our conversation today

this feels so weird..
it’s like i never even left. I arrived at LAX wearing the same exact clothes, carrying the same bag, at the same time in the evening when I first left four months ago. i feel like someone rudely awakened me from the best dream of my entire life and i’m ready to go back to it. AAHHHHHH. i felt so numb during my transit home, now that i’m here…blaaaaahhhhhhhh
