A 'Mild' Winter

Coming to you live from the coffee shop down the street, per usual. I had the last three days off, two of them unexpectedly so I’ve gotten quite a bit done. I just picked up my black square-toe knee-high boots from the shoe repair man … who was Brazilian of course and tried to give them back to me free of charge. He said he was ‘dead from embarrassment’ when I insisted on paying haha. Brazilians win my heart wherever I find them.

Escrevendo para você da cafeteria na rua, como sempre. Eu tive os últimos três dias de folga, dois deles inesperadamente, então acabei um pouco. Acabei de pegar minhas botas pretas de cano alto até o joelho do reparador de sapatos ... que era brasileiro e tentei devolvê-las gratuitamente. Ele disse que estava "morto de vergonha" quando insisti em pagar haha. Os brasileiros conquistam meu coração em qualquer lugar que eu os encontre.

Mission to the desert! I really love how these photos came out. My cousin Cheyanna took all of them. She has such a good eye! In actuality Joshua Tree was so windy. My jumpsuit matched the rocks and all but really we were just trying to find a large hill that would block some of the wind! I start to feel like I'm going crazy when I'm having to squint and my hair is being blown everywhere and car doors won't stay open and ... all worth the photos later haha. I went to they gym today after work at 6:30, forgetting that it closes at 7, so I didn't really get my yayas out. I have to wake up early for a long shift tomorrow so I'm off to bed! More photos from my trip to come!

Ayy bae bae. I'm currently posted up in a coffee shop in Culver City, headed to a dance class in a sec. This past weekend was my coworker Liz's birthday (so many birthdays!) and I went a little too hard Friday night. I woke up at noon on Saturday, got water, and went back to bed 'til three. The weekends already seem fast so when you sleep a whole day away practically ... Monday comes too quick. I think I'm going to take a break from going out haha. Sunday was nice though. I went to dance class and there was a guest teacher: a woman I danced with in Brazil! She's pretty famous in the dance community and I went up after class to thank her and she remembered me! I was very flattered. Then I met up with my brother and we went back to my place to cook a delicious spicy noodle stir fry. I was so excited to take some to work with me for lunch until Raoul went back for 2nds, 3rds, etc. I forget how much that kid can eat! Oh well, my mom will be happy I got some veggies in him.
