after a few weeks of running non-stop, i took today off for some rest (on the advice of a friend). while to some my loafing may seem counterproductive, i see it as an opportunity to recharge my batteries for the sure to be grueling weeks ahead. so in my totally non-productive day here's what went down:
- slept on the couch until 11am. remained there for 2 hours watching tv and surfing the internets.
- went to District Hardware to get some brackets to mount my white board to the wall.
- a trip to Trader Joe's for chicken, some curry sauce, various deli meats, and assorted breads.
- a trip to the Watergate liquor store, where a pleasant surprise awaited me. Sierra Nevada has just released a hefeweizen that is, for a domestically produced beer, actually very, very good. it's rich yeast gives it a very smooth texture; not only that, but the yeast gives the beer a delicious after taste with a hint of cloves ... me thinks me wants one right now... mmm. I paid $10 for the six pack which, of course, nets out to $1.66 per bottle ... way less than the German stuff that's priced at around 3 and 1/2 bucks each... gotta love value shopping.
- came home and fell asleep on the couch for 3 hours...woke up and did a little reading.
ahhhhh. what a great day. currently listening to a speech the W gave at SMU on thursday. soon, time for bed, a bike ride in the morning (see the pic of my sweet, sweet aurora) and then a full day of outlining and working on websites.
