My lovelies! I hope your week has been treating you kind, and that if you’re up in Calgary, you are carefully protecting yourselves from the ninth circle of Hell that has descended upon the city.

In my neck of the woods, and I’m sure no one cares at all, my fancy new space heater tells me that my apartment was 57 degrees when I woke up this morning because old San Francisco apartments have no central heating or, you know, insulation of any kind. Stay warm, everyone!

Xoxo Amy
