2️⃣034: 22SMILES🤓

A few people reached out to me worried after last week's email, thinking I was writing some sort of farewell letter. I appreciate you reaching out, but there will be no farewells from me anytime soon. I'm here to stay 💩

To up the mood, here are 22 things that made me smile over the last week:

(ONE)(UNO)

I finished writing the LONG LIVE DAVID email and was very happy and satisfied at how much my writing and writing process is improving. I was starving and went to have one of my prepped meals (I meal prep lunch and dinner for the whole week) when I started thinking about which type of potato chip I wanted to have. I like original flavors only, plain. Then I remembered I ordered Wingstop over the weekend and still had some Cajun-seasoned fries leftover. I air-fried them, and they were fucking delicious. Then I ate every piece of food and looked down at my empty plate extremely satisfied 😋

(TWO)(DOS)

I changed my google meeting background for the year and chose a new work-from-home hoodie 😎

(THREE)(TROIS)

When you and a friend are in sync and you want to mention something but you don't want to say it you want them to say it and you're waiting for that and you think they don't know because they haven't said anything but then they drop a hint that only you would understand to let you know they understand and they're aware of what you wanted to mention. And that's it. That's all that needed to be said because you both got what you wanted, and you both understood 🙂

(FOUR)(QUATRE)

Elmo beefing with his friend Zoey's pet rock, Rocco 😅

Glad you asked, let me show you how it went down:

And then the internet did its thing:

ELMO CHIMED IN:

But the internet wasn’t done with Rocco just yet…

(FIVE)(CINQ)

Yellowjackets on Showtime. It's definitely not about bees…😇

(SIX)(SIX)(SEIS)

This exchange on page 64 of ‘Max And The Multiverse’ by Zachary Wheeler: 😜

(SEVEN)(SEPT)

I told a friend about something I always wanted to do and had never done, and they responded, "You should just do it then." And I was like, "I think I will." 😏

(EIGHT)(HUIT)

Was lucky enough to enjoy a guided meditation and sound bath by the incredible Julianne & Andrea 😌

(NINE)(NEUF)

Walked into the yoga studio on Friday and gave four straight hugs of at least five seconds each 🥰

(TEN)(DIX)

Had drinks with a friend I hadn't seen in years. No matter the year, city, or continent, we always find a way to hang out. He's also one of the few people ever to call me "Núñez," which I appreciate instead of Day-vid if Dah-veed has you struggling. Also, he was one of the first people ever to be down with voice notes when that walkie-talkie app came out in 2012. I hated it, but he loved it. And now everyone loves sending voice notes. A man ahead of his time. (I still hate voice notes) 😊

(ELEVEN)(UNDÉCIMO)

Thinking about the fact that someone had to come up with a name for an important communication device you can use while on the move, and they called it WALKIE TALKIE 😀

(TWELVE)(DOUZE)

Took a bath on Friday after an intense Power Yoga class and it was delicious 🙃

(THIRTEEN)(DÉCIMOTERCERO)

Had a delicious cappuccino Saturday morning 😙

(FOURTEEN)(QUATORZE)

Listening to the LONG LIVE DAVID ✊🏽.54 playlist because it's so fucking good (and I'm constantly going through it removing songs that don't belong, so it has just the right feel) 😃

(FIFTEEN)(DÉCIMOQUINTO)

The Sam's Club app lets you scan items as you shop, and then you swipe to pay and don't have to make a single line. I have no idea why so many people are still waiting in line to pay. Also, why hasn't Costco developed this functionality in their app yet? We have the technology…🥲

(SIXTEEN)(SEIZE)

Great wine night on Saturday with new and old friends 🥳

(SEVENTEEN)(DIX-SEPT)

Been trying to have a phone call with a friend for like ten months, but we're never in sync. On Sunday, they randomly called me at the perfect time, and we were able to catch up. Love you, I appreciate you, and I appreciate you appreciating me 🤑

(EIGHTEEN)(DIX-HUIT)

Euphoria is back on HBO. Not only does that let us enjoy the phenomenon of live-tweeting and reactions to a show so we can collectively experience the same content with the rest of the internet, but it has created a goldmine of Euphoria tweets. I'm still not totally caught up with the show, for the record. It's a difficult show for me to watch because it's so intense, and I started during a not-so-happy time in my life. So please don't message me expecting to talk about the latest episode. But I will catch up soon. In the meantime, enjoy this splendid content: 😬

(NINETEEN)(DIX-NEUF)

Some people were a little confused by the new year's hearts. But then I told them it's always intentional, and they were very happy. I'm happy you're happy 😙

(TWENTY)(VINGT)(VIGÉSIMO)

Finished this weekend by going to Reset Yoga (aka Yin Yoga) at my studio. This is the best class you could ever take, and my good friend who leads it is an incredible human. You should check it out 😛 

(TWENTY-ONE)(VINGT-ET-UN)

In hot yoga, you sweat a lot, which makes your mat slippery. The solution is to use a long towel that covers your entire mat. But that towel is dry and can sometimes be slippery for the opposite reason the mat is slippery. So yogis will spray water on the towel to give it a little grip and get it ready for practice. The spray bottle I was attempting to use today wasn't working, so I took the top off, poured water on my hand, and then tossed it over the towel. My teacher walked in and said, "You know a real yogi when they resort to pouring water on their mat like that." And she's been practicing for 10+ years, so needless to say, I was 🤠

(TWENTY-TWO)(VINGT-DEUX)

There are 51 2uesdays left this year for us to celebrate together, and I hope you'll be around for all of them. There's some good shit coming. Also, tell your friends they won't want to miss this 😉
