Being at home doing online school is a particularly stressful time, but my most happy moments during the week are the times I get to spend in NYC. I live in a more isolated part of NY, so being in a more populated area is always a happy escape. This weekend I tried out a good udon restaurant in West Village. It was a moment of joy because it was also during a polar vortex, and having warm soup with good company provided me with a warm feeling.
