OK, be honest. Did you spend all weekend on the couch binge watching Stranger Things? We managed to limit ourselves to 5 episodes, so I saved time for non-couch activities like going to Pilates and making healthy matcha muffins. Buuuuut yeah, then I watched a bunch of TV and had cookies and wine. It’s called life balance, people.

I liked (but didn’t love) the first season of Stranger Things, but I must admit the second season is starting to pull me in. I do have a couple thoughts, though (no spoilers). First, why is the upside down full of giant dandruff? Ew. Second, that squirrel in ep. 2 is clearly not an Indiana squirrel. An Indiana squirrel would eat that tiny little gray thing for breakfast. Other than that, you have my attention, ST. Let’s see what you’ve got.

If you read my blog every day, you know I’m supposed to be in New York City right now for a fabulously nerdy fashion law conference. If you read literally any other news source, you know New York got hit with a beast of a snow storm yesterday. My Thursday morning flight got cancelled on Wednesday night, but then I got rebooked for Thursday afternoon. Not so bad. Had to cancel plans with friends, but I got some extra sleep, more time to pack, and did some work from home.

Around 1pm Thursday, an hour and half before I planned to leave for the airport, my rebooked flight got cancelled. (Cue dramatic fall to my knees while screaming “NOOOOO!”) I called the airline and searched all the websites I could think of, and the only option left would’ve involved getting to the airport at 4am and missing the first session of the conference. I was definitely excited for the trip, but it got to the point where the extra stress and extra effort was outweighing the few remaining benefits.

Sigh. So I cancelled my hotel, return flight, and conference registration, and then went out for a drink and Greek food. This outfit was going to be a great travel slash walking through snowy NYC ensemble, but it turned out to be a decent work from home slash eating consolation falafel ensemble instead.
