I was telling my friend about that new brunch place downtown—the one with the crostini and poached eggs. She asked if they have vegan options. I honestly wasn’t sure, but the menu looked good. We are planning to go Saturday morning. I need to remember to call ahead and check. Also, my neighbor just got a puppy, a golden retriever. It’s adorable but chews everything. He asked if I knew a good trainer. I recommended the woman who helped with my dog last year. She does group classes in the park. I really should send him her number today.

Speaking of weekends, I am finally going to reorganize my closet. I’ve been putting it off for months. I found a great storage system online with modular bins. My partner thinks I am obsessed, but a tidy closet really does improve my mood. I might also try baking sourdough again. My first attempt was a disaster—rock hard. But I watched a new tutorial and feel more confident.

The weather has been perfect for evening walks. Yesterday I saw a sunset that looked like cotton candy. I even stopped to take a picture. It’s the little things, right?

I was browsing streaming services last night and finally decided to start that series everyone has been talking about. The first episode was a bit slow, but my colleague says it picks up by episode three. I also need to pick up a birthday gift for my niece. She is turning nine and loves art. I found a local pottery studio that offers kids’ workshops. That might be a fun option. I should check if they have weekend availability. Oh, and I finally fixed the loose handle on my kitchen drawer. It only took me twenty minutes and a screwdriver. Why did I procrastinate for months? My partner was impressed. I also tried a new pasta recipe from that food blog I follow. It used roasted eggplant and cherry tomatoes. Pretty good, though I added extra garlic.

Yesterday I walked to the library to return some books. I got sidetracked by their community board and signed up for a gardening seminar. It’s next Saturday morning. I hope it doesn’t run too long because I have lunch plans with a friend afterward. We are trying that ramen shop that opened last month. The reviews are great. Also, I am considering adopting a cat from the local shelter. They have an open house this weekend. I haven’t had a pet in years. I am a little nervous but excited. One of the volunteers said a three-year-old tabby is very affectionate and low-maintenance. Might be perfect.
