Witty Rewind: March 2019

I thought it’d be fun to capture each month’s activities and milestones in a series called Witty Rewind. It may not be for posterity’s sake, but I hope you’ll enjoy looking back at the previous month with me.

I told myself I’d try a “clean eating on weekdays” approach in March but I most certainly did not. Instead, I started on the 1st with a Mexican fiesta lunch, spent mid-March in San Diego (Mexican food capital of California) and ended the 31st with a wine-and-tacos apartment purge party. Noticing a theme? Ay dios mio. [🌮 eaten: ~20]

Despite having plenty of time to devote to reading on the shuttle and quick flights, I found myself not able to power through any reads the way I normally would. (For context, I can usually get through a book in 2-4 sittings, and a few days’ time.) That’s not to say I didn’t enjoy my March picks, but I do think I was considerably less motivated with my brain on overdrive in work summits and commitments. [📚 read: 3.5]

Some highlights from the madness that was this past month:

1. 1. Bowling with dear friends who moved to New York last year
   2. Celebrating a housemate’s birthday with incredible Cajun cuisine

   4. Attending a newcomer summit for work + getting uplifting insight
   5. Looking for a new apartment with a current housemate
   6. Catching up with a longtime friend during her stay in SF before she moves back to NYC
   7. Checking out a crystal fair (really!) and somehow buying only jewelry
   8. Hosting my fave former writer for lunch at my new(ish) job
   9. Happy hour-ing with other former writers and getting the tea
   10. Helping another former writer with her portfolio
