The end of May was when everything started changing all of a sudden in terms of our pandemic experience here in California. Alex and I both got our second vaccines in Mid-May, just in time for us to reach full immunity prior to Memorial Day weekend, when I would be down in Big Sur for…
May was a whole lot of shuttling back and forth between our two homes, in San Francisco and the South Bay. Plus, we completed our vaccines and worked our way to some sense of normalcy! First, bagels from Daily Driver. And a homemade tri tip sandwich, with tri tip that Alex smoked. At the house,…
Welcome to the April recap! The big task of the month was moving out of my Oakland apartment after a decade of living there! See some glimpses of our month below: Paint Club patterns drawing, part two! I made this very fun Taiwanese fruit pattern and actually printed it as fabric! I’m hoping to sew…
Back in March, we hopped in the car for a little weekend getaway to the mountains. We’re incredibly lucky to be able to just opt in to a couple days of winter when we feel like it and then return to the Bay Area where it’s spring again. Alex got to sneak in a couple…

Just like that, we slipped into a new year. We were down in Cupertino for the first couple of days, where Alex got to try out his new barbecue smoker. A visit to Larkspur, where the trees roam the streets. And a walk around Mission Bay. Weekly Whitney chat. Weekly Talya chat. More scenes from…
I am often quite happy to hibernate and never go outside– especially in the winter, but I’ll admit, generally too. This serves me well during a shelter-in-place pandemic. Alex, however, dissolves away inside. He says he is fine with staying in, but he is a natural extrovert, an outdoor person, and all of this has…
December was a full month, filled with holiday decor, videochats, bouncing between San Francisco, Cupertino, and Oakland, and neighborhood walking tours, which I decided would be their own post. Recap below. Our Office of Accountability Friendsgiving went virtual this year. Here’s Do-Hee presenting my secret santa gift for Eileen — seeds, and this stack of…

Katsu sandos from Cafe Okawari, and lamb tamales from our weekly Imperfect box. Office of Accountability, with baby M! Weekly Whitney chat Got some fabric…
