MY WEEK IN PHOTOS: OCTOBER 23–29, 2017!

First week back in Los Angeles after three weeks abroad in Southeast Asia. Battling jetlag, seeing friends, eating nothing but junk, and getting back into the routine of life in LA while attempting to embrace the Halloween-time glee in 100 degree weather.

Enjoy!

Good morning! First morning waking up back in Los Angeles. We just got back from our three week trip in Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia the night before. Basically only enough time to get the dogs and come back home and pass out.

Tweedy catching sun rays, a familiar sight. It’s almost like the trip was a fever dream. Everything so similiar and familiar like we hadn’t just spent three weeks abroad, doing new and unfamiliar things every day. A weird feeling.

Attempting some fall colors and trying to break free from the 3 outfits I cycle through at work. Of course the week we get back Los Angeles is in a heat wave with highs reaching over 100 degrees.

Got to my desk and somebody who knows me really well left some garlic spam.

Happy to see a happy atmospheric sunset on my first day back to work.

Zach promised me that we’d visit the pumpkin patch to grab some pumpkins and attempt to squeeze a few “fall” things into our week before he heads to Texas. Here we are.

Picked out a few small babies and headed out. Lots of families doing evening photoshoots.

Craving buffalo wings, I’m sick.

Zach swears he has a copy of Hocus Pocus but DOES HE

A nice healthy return to Los Angeles…hah, cajun wings on the left and buffalo wings on the right.

Fell asleep on the couch around 9pm while watching Hocus Pocus, woke up around 10:30 and went to bed. Of course then fell asleep till around 2:30am and couldn’t go back to sleep around 4:30. The jetlag is real.

Sweet little pumpkins

Feeling so exhausted. *Wahhh*

Zeen happily doing chores

Still over 100 degrees today.

Such a turtle. I need a new gym bag that isn’t ripping apart.

Got home and had myself a little snack of leftover wings before heading out to the metro.

Beautiful sunset again, this time viewed from the metro station

A welcome back Clippers game. The Jazz are in town (somehow Zach grew up a Utah Jazz fan haha) so we got some tickets the first night that the Dodgers were playing in the World Series so nobody was really there.

Have to get nachos with extra jalapenos

Clippers won.

Got home, not tired at *all* so we decided to carve the pumpkins.

Not creative so of course I do another Tweedy and Sufi.

They came out cute though.

Another night of wrestless jetlag no sleep that a face mask couldn’t solve

Tired me couldn’t chose a better outfit so I failed already and went bck to repeats.

Tristan is back in office!

He brought me treats from Mexico City

Find your light

Another day, another sunset at the Getty

Heading home

Got my plants back from my kind neighbor who watched them but alas…the bamboo didn’t make it. I’m so sad!!!!

I set out the carved pumpkins (don’t worry, I turned them around so the neighborhood could enjoy the crafty work)

Neighbor goes all out.

Tristan meets me at my apartment and we walk to get some dinner.

We got distracted at the grocery store and somehow came back with a little charcuterie board, a little overboard for a Wednesday night maybe?

We continued watching Game of Thrones from Season 2. I am the master guide as Tristan watches for the first time.

My skin is so confused from being in such a humid climate and coming back to such a dry one.

Thursday.

Gabby comes over and I share some leftover cheese with her.

She’s craving Thai food so we order some delivery.

Gabby appreciates the Mexican candies. When we were little she used to share her Pulparindo with me. ❤

Doing what we do best, chill with dogs.

A box from amazon arrives for me. That’s right…I ordered the cheapest bat costume I could find that had prime delivery. I was last minute invited to shoot some photos at a costume party on Saturday. Needed to be ready.

Friday. SUPER. Jetlagged again. STILL.

Sunrise

Tweedy won’t even get up

The sun is beating down already. Another day in the 90s.

Took casual Friday too far? Oh well. No meetings today!

Heated up some leftover soup in the afternoon.

Exhausted but happily eating Thai leftovers.

Tweedy chills on the couch as I continue to work from home.

Gabby invited me to stop by her work for a Halloween thing. She works not too far from me.

Decided to wear my Dobby ears from my zombie Dobby costume I made a few years ago.

Made it!

They do an annual pumpkin race with decorated pumpkins on wheels. Of course this one is a watermelon so it was smashed and disqualified.

Child fairy dancing in the creepy red light.

Proud to represent Dobby

Stopped back at Gabby’s house to see her new apartment and Russ. Then called a Lyft to meet up with Kiki and Tristan.

Friday night, not too busy at the bar. Just in time for happy hour.

Tristy makes a good Dobby.

Saturday morning.

Kiki and Ders pick me up and we head out for breakfast.

Spam and eggs place at Rutt’s Hawaiian Cafe

We strategize a Target run afterwards for some last minute costume things (and I needed some basic shopping done haha).

Was out in my neighborhood and casually saw a turtle wandering the street. I saw a woman run out looking for it too. (She found him!)

Dug out their old costumes from years previous. Why not start early. Sufi may or may not be humiliated.

Kiki and Ders came over to do last touches getting ready for the party.

Pre-hair tease.

Whoa feels like 2010.

Getting the pic

We gotta go!

There early to set up

There to shoot some school pictures and crowd shots.

Lurking above the party, a classic Waldo move.

The photobooth for school pics all set up with Kiki

Adriana Grande challenge

Home! Tired. Late.

A little sad to take out my little buns

Woke up with a hotdog next to me. Yes.

Hotdog in the streets

Spent the afternoon in bed, editing photos and being a slug. Some ramen on the stove to match the mood.

Addams Family

Editing. Photos. Doo teeeee dooo.

Went to take the dogs out for an evening walk and the whole neighborhood was so pink and magical from the sunset.

Cotton candy skies.

Sad to not be traveling and experiencing new things every day, but happy to be back with the dogs and seeing friends again.

Much love friends.
