i feel like i've been going going going today. i guess i have. this morning i met richard, a guy from the program, for brunch. we went to a cool little farmer's market in dupont before stopping for brunch at a place i've passed a million times on the bus and always wanted to go to. the server didn't know what a western omelet was. surely that can't be a southern thing.
this afternoon i met with a girl from work and we had planned to go to a museum but there's a big solar decathlon housing thing going on on the national mall right now, so we toured some houses instead. they all had radiant heat from the floor and ceiling, teeny tiny little living spaces and lots of solar panels. they're designed/built by university students and then judged on multiple points for most energy efficient, most energy leftover, how well their systems work, etc.
this evening JPK and i met up for dinner at ..i keep forgetting the name. marvin. i had a giant bowl of mussels with shallot, garlic, white wine and butter sauce. they were soo delicious. i dipped about half a baguette in the sauce afterwards. i love hanging out with john. there's something to be said for friendships that go way back and you just pick up where you left off, no matter how long it's been. though i see john relatively often.
busy day. i bought a bottle of wine for the first time in several months. i'm trying not to spend unnecessary money on things like wine and dessert, but sometimes it's worth it. i was craving apples and white wine all day today. i still haven't had the apple. breakfast. and jalapeno cheese toast. love the farmers market.

It's OK to afford yourself some luxuries now and then.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, about your lull.. You're in transition mode and you'll come out of it quickly enough. In fact, it already seems you're well on your way.
Just like you told me, keep finding things you want to do and just do it. :)
