當我們上一次把員工每週的升級換代彙總到一起時,我們的編輯們正在用伏特加為我們的衣服梳洗,計劃大大小小的假期,並歡迎新的四條腿的朋友加入我們的生活。
本週,我們將減少打掃衛生的麻煩,充分利用圖書館提供的一切,減少我們對數字的依賴,喝下裝滿酒的奶昔。
你這周做了什麼升級?請在評論中告訴我們。
I threw away my toilet brush and got a Clorox toilet wand. I came to terms with the fact that I was never going to clean the brush or the gross holder it sat in, and it was really bumming me out. It may be more wasteful and expensive, but being able to just toss the head of the brush and not have to deal with the gross, dripping brush has made my bathroom, and my life, much better.

I finally got a New York City library card and have been able to download audio books on my phone and actual books on my Kindle and I should have done this a long time ago. I’ll continue to be amazed that we can access essentially any book at any time now if we have an internet connection—everything else in the world is bad, but that is very, very good. (By the way, I’ve been using the Libby app, which David recently recommended, and it’s great.)

This week, I actually started doing the thing everyone tells you to do: I put my phone in the other room when I went to bed, in hopes of cutting down on the amount of time I spent scrolling right before going to sleep and immediately after waking up. I grudgingly admit that it really does help. I also grudgingly admit that I failed to do this every single night, but I see the light now, and would like to make it the rule, rather than the exception, in my routine moving forward.

I bought a duvet cover for my comforter. This means it is now a duvet, so basically I got a duvet for free.

Now that Westworld is done, I had to pick another series to sporadicly watch. Though Chef’s Table is still high on my must-finish list, I decided to check out the latest installment of Queer Eye, and I think I’m going to be hooked on this one for a bit. Episode one, season one, is just so charming, uplifting, and positive—and I can’t wait to see what else the “five” have in store.

I’m in Aspen, CO right now and I’ve been reading up on local history like I usually do when I travel somewhere I’ve never been. Well, there’s a hotel that is very old here called the Hotel Jerome. Attached to that hotel is the J-Bar, which serves an interesting cocktail called the “Aspen Crud.” It’s basically an ice cream milkshake with a few shots of bourbon in it. Sounds weird, but it’s good! Turns out, the J-Bar transformed into an ice cream parlor during prohibition, but the local silver miners still wanted a way to get booze—so the Aspen Crud was born. What was once an Old West secret menu item is now history you can drink yourself.
