I felt slightly off all week. Things started well enough - we took full advantage of the long weekend by trekking down to Santa Monica to try a burger I'd been reading about for ages (consensus: it's one of the best in the city). I spent time with friends, G surprised me by recreating my favorite indulgent pasta dish (recipe here) at home, and Sloan was extra sweet and fun. I chalk it up to the fact that some weeks just don't quite click, for no reason in particular. I'm looking forward to a weekend with very few expectations and lots of room for quiet time. Have a good one! x
