Hi friends! I hope everyone is having a great beginning to their summer. I’ve been pretty overwhelmed lately, with new house stuff, work stuff, and future wedding stuff. These days I feel like I am always one step away from a nervous breakdown :) But our house is finally starting to take shape—the kitchen is now all fresh, white, and bright—and I think I just need to settle into some new routines here and establish a little structure. That always helps. Anyway, here are some links I found interesting while I was surfing the internet (do people still say that?), trying to avoid thinking about all the stuff I should be doing instead:

There is a solar eclipse coming up later in the summer. Here’s some information about how to see it!
Michael Phelps is setting the record straight about the claims he ate a 12,000-calorie-per-day diet. He says he ate much less than that. “12,000 is not real. It’s impossible. You can’t eat that much.” Have to say, I feel like I’ve done it.
Daniel and I just watched the full season of The Handmaid’s Tale this week. It wasn’t a perfect show, but I did really enjoy it. For other fans of the series, here’s a NYT piece with Margaret Atwood who gives some episode by episode insights about the series and book.
