A Summer Update
Hi!
After a short hiatus, I am happy to say that I’m back! This summer has been incredibly busy. I celebrated my birthday, flew to Oregon, and played tour guide for my cousin Daisy, who visited me all the way from Mexico.
About three weeks ago, I wrote a post about my anxiety and how I was dealing with it. Unfortunately, this is something that I’m still grappling with. However, in between all that, I’ve been out and about and having a good time.
Here’s what I’ve been up to for the last few weeks:
I went to Disneyland & Universal Studios
As I mentioned above, my cousin Daisy stayed with me for a bit and I showed her around Los Angeles. One of our first stops was Disneyland! I am big into Disneyland and was a pass holder until 2020. I’m happy to report that she loved the park as much as I did and yes, we did eat beignets.
We also went to Univeral Studios with my dad and overall, had a good day. My personal favorite moment was going on Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey.
I spent time with family
Most of my days were spent with my mom (center) and Daisy (right). We went shopping, made dinner, and watched movies. Daisy actually returned to Mexico a few days ago but it was nice reconnecting with her as we hadn’t seen each other in more than a decade!
I read (duh)
Although I had work and family plans, I still managed to sneak in some time to read! Currently, I’m reading Picnic at Hanging Rock by Joan Lindsay. This classic novel centers on the disappearance of a group of school girls during a Valentine’s Day picnic in Australia.
If you’re looking for book recommendations, make sure to check out my Substack, Leslie’s Library.
I visited The Getty
I took my mom and Daisy to The Getty as a treat! It was both there first time there and although they did not care much for the art, they did love the sprawling Los Angeles views and the museum’s architecture.
I felt like a tourist in Hollywood
