Memorial Day Weekend: May Gray Remains | CDC Studies Equity & Extracurriculars | Tulsa Massacre Anniversary | Will Biden Protect Bear's Ears? |

  

San Elijo Lagoon (Taken 5.28.21)

I had an absolutely uneventful day and I'm totally okay with it. I didn't get a lot of sleep but got up and caught up with news and there were no new details on the Hialeah shooting in Florida that had occurred overnight. I watched the Netflix documentary on Amy Tan and highly recommend watching. Darren made us a bountiful breakfast. I read. I talked to my parents. I caught up on email. I put away some laundry that's been lingering for days. I took a nap. I watched the news. Darren made us a Korean dinner with rice, bulgogi, seaweed salad, stir fried fish cake. Now I've just been watching The Story of Late Night on CNN which is super fascinating. Perhaps tomorrow will be more eventful. I'm actually okay if it's not. 

Stay safe out there.
