Hey, just catching up on emails. I finally put together that bookshelf I bought last month—only took me three hours, which I think is a personal record. The instructions were completely in pictograms, so mostly I just guessed. Anyway, it looks pretty good if you don't look at the back panel. I also tried that new ramen place downtown. The broth was incredible, super rich and savory. We should definitely go together next time. Let me know how your project is going. Hope everything's good on your end. 6HYHCLOWhbpuF Give me a call when you have a chance. There's a new exhibit at the natural history museum that I think you'd really like. It's all about ancient fossils found right here in the state. I spent the weekend rearranging the living room again. Moved the couch closer to the window for better natural light. I've been listening to that podcast you recommended, the one about urban planning. It's surprisingly fascinating. Anyway, just wanted to share those little updates. Talk soon.

I had such a random day yesterday. I ran into my old neighbor at the farmer's market. We hadn't seen each other in like five years. He's got a food truck now, selling gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches. I tried the one with fig jam and aged cheddar—it was amazing. We spent an hour just catching up. It's funny how some people just pick up right where they left off. Later, I went for a long walk through the park. The leaves are just starting to turn colors. There's something about the crisp air and the quiet that clears my head completely. I've been thinking about signing up for a pottery class. Always wanted to try throwing clay on a wheel. Seems like a good way to unwind. Oh, I also finally organized my closet. Donated two big bags of clothes. I also adopted a new plant—a monstera. Apparently they're pretty easy to care for, so hopefully I don't kill it. I've named him Monty. My apartment is starting to feel like a jungle. Next on the list is learning to bake sourdough bread. Wish me luck.
