last minute ticket to the MetHD encore of La Rondine, an opera I had never seen.
It was an enjoyable show, but I now thoroughly understand why it's not one of the Puccini favorites. It was saved by brilliant singers and an all around fabulous production - sets and costumes were phenomenal.

I bought a stack of books to read when I will be stuck at home. I also bought a new toaster oven … actually it’s an air fryer which happens to be a toaster oven also. Our old toaster oven bit the dust.

Just bought a Verity Den t-shirt (band we're both obsessed with right now) on Bandcamp. I'd read an article in the Guardian about how expensive it is to tour these days and how bands are all broke, so I figured I'd support them (plus it's a cool t-shirt).
Later will buy groceries

Cappuccino Cheese danish As predicted above, groceries. There's a new brand of ice cream that costs $10 a pint, which is really just a bit much. I can pay $7 for a pint of ice cream, but somehow anything above that pushes me over the edge.
