Spiky Buns, Writing Fun, & Neighbor Serenades

DOPAMINE DUMP

Happy Wednesday!

Two Dopamine Dumps in one month?! What am I, happy? (Yes.) Spring is in the air. Flowers are blooming. I’m writing stuff that’s got me excited. We’re still celebrating a full YEAR of the newsletter. Things are good!

Here are some specific good things:

1. Rocking this spiky bun for a dash of Phoebe Buffay in my otherwise Monica Geller life. (Bunstructions: Start with a low, slicked pony. Separate the ponytail in two. Tie the sections in a knot, tightening down to the hair tie to create a small bun. Wrap the ends around the bun and tie a second knot. Position as you like, and secure with second hair tie, leaving the ends out for a spiky finish.)

   

   P.S. Look at my cute ear freckle. Thanks.

2. Our neighbor across the courtyard belting his heart out through open windows. He’s more of a Reggae guy, which unfortunately I don’t know much of by heart. So I haven’t had the chance to bust out a duet, but I’m staying patient and waiting for my moment. We can’t see which unit he’s in, so there’s no way to be sure which neighbor he is, but you can hear the (pitchy) joy in his voice. As our neighbor would probably say, dance like no ones watching and sing like the entire neighborhood can hear you. Because we can, and I’m here for it.
