Getting up at 5 a.m. on the regular has me on a weird sleep schedule that’s only gonna stay weird for the next few weeks. However, the past two nights, I managed to clock in 8-plus hours of uninterrupted shut-eye for the first time in an obscenely long time. Totally worth the crazy dreams. I was starting to think I’d hallucinated parts of the last week!

chocolate oatmeal with egg whites

one day, I will laugh at myself for all the oatmeal photos I’ve posted over the years

My Sunday began with a new favorite breakfast, chocolate oatmeal with egg whites cooked in.

Then it was off to a hot yoga class. It was so relaxing and restorative. Doing yoga at home is great and all, but sometimes it’s nice to get the hell out of my own space—it helps me clear my mind even more since I’m not surrounded by a bunch of  to-do list things.

After picking up some groceries on the way home, I cleaned my apartment (do you think that’ll take care of the parts of my brain the yoga couldn’t quite reach?). So far, the afternoon is going to be about listening to Neil Young’s Harvest Moon on repeat and making split pea soup (maybe eating green stuff on New Years Day will bring good luck in the coming year?), catching up on emails and maybe finally getting around to solidifying my new years eve plans.

What are your Sunday plans? What are you doing for New Years Eve?
