summer is here!

The official start of summer is here! Insert “person raising both hands in celebration” emoji.

After spending too much time outside in the sun and not enough time drinking water, I found myself extremely dehydrated Friday night. I’ve been so much better about drinking water (since this post!) by keeping water by my desk at all times. When it’s right there, it’s super easy to remember to drink it. The place I need improvement? When I’m not at my desk. Friday was the perfect storm. I felt okay when I got back to the city… Garrett and I had dinner and that’s really when I noticed just how thirsty I was. I drank glass after glass after dinner, but still had a headache. The headache got worse and worse. Now, I’m used to migraines, but this was a NEW LEVEL headache. Let’s just say, I spent the rest of my night throwing up… It was disgusting and horrible. If I needed a wakeup call about drinking water in the summer, I heard it loud and clear on Friday night.

I’ve never been hungover, but I imagine that how I felt Saturday morning is what it would feel like. Extra water and laziness before brunch. Luckily it was with my good friend and it was the perfect brunch spot: Palma. We sat (in the shade) in the courtyard and just talked and caught up and relaxed. Love those kind of low-key brunches! We used to work together so it’s always fun to get to see each other now that we have different jobs.

Salmon Eggs Benedict and French Toast!

I always have the “Sweet versus Savory” debate when at brunch. I know I’ll feel better throughout the day if I go for something like an omelet… but the French toast always sounds (and ends up tasting) so good.
