If pistachio is available then I'm falling straight into its silky salty sweet embrace. As mouse says the pistachio gelato from the place at the end of our street is God tier and I am yet to try anything better.
Elsewhere I like a refreshing mint choc chip because it tastes kind of like toothpaste but in a really enjoyable way and I like that it's often a kind of pleasing gritty texture.
Sometimes the sensory experience of a cone dripping down my hands is simply too much and it has to be a cup with a cute little spoon.

I love a good soft serve vanilla cone, especially if itโs dipped. Otherwise dish all the way, coffee (underrated), black raspberry chip, mint chocolate chip

the Gelato shop at the bottom of our street sells authentic artisanal Italian gelato and it FUCKS. I dream of the pistachio. And always with a cone, ordering a cup to me is the death of childhood whimsy.

Always cone!! Pistachio is the best but if I am not feeling nutty, lemon or pineapple.
I love getting the big tubs in the supermarket and the pineapple coconut and cream blend is delightful!!
I feel like Acai took some of the place of ice cream in my life, maybe I should work on fixing that.

1. Don't set an alarm and wake up naturally. Snooze for however long you want to, it's okay
2. Have breakfast. For me it's toast. Have it with butter/jam/honey and a lot of water and coffee and juice.
3. Listen to an album in full and do some puzzles until it ends. I like to stick a record on and do the nyt games (connections, then wordle, then the mini, then I'm ready for a crossword)
4. Shower and use all your best stuff. Smell great. Make your hair feel soft.
5. Wear an outfit you don't get to wear that often. I tend to wear the same thing over and over at work so I wear something a bit more fun and less practical.
6. Go outside. I live near a road with secondhand shops that are great browsing but quite tempting on a budget. To beat the temptation just look in the windows and then walk round the streets or to a green space if it's a nice day. Walk as fast or as slow as you like. Try and spot cats that might let you stroke them. See how each place you go smells different. Walk down streets that you've not been down before just because.
7. Come home and decide how much energy you have. If you have energy do an activity (I would write, play an instrument, do some art, read, play a game) if you don't then watch something from your watchlist. Saturdays feel like a good day to watch something new.
8. Cook yourself a meal. Start before you're hungry and spend ages on it. Use every pot. Listen to music. Sing whilst you wash the dishes.
9. Play! Video games, board games, internet games, card games, phone games, rearrange your plushies, embrace your inner child. Play with ideas, experiment with felt tip pens, write a limerick. Get silly with it.
10. Talk to your friends. Invite them over, call somebody up, text that person back you didn't have time to. I like to spend a good day off by myself then have a great time talking to people after I've recharged.
11. Have so much fun getting to do whatever you want you fall asleep at whatever time. Monday - Friday is about appeasing your body clock, Saturdays are for filthy pleasures like falling asleep at 3am because you were too busy flirting or reading or watching videos.
