And before you know it
It’s nothing but
work work work all the time!

I think I averaged 60 hours a week for the last few weeks and managed to miss every possible amount of daylight that I could. But now the work’s done. And it’s time to relax. I’m looking forward to a weekend as great as the last one:
Last Saturday we discovered a really good Thai restaurant on San Pablo - one that’s been there for years, but I had never gone into. Was so good that we got take out from them two days later - medium spicy is hecka spicy - BUT SO GOOD! Had a good time over dinner catching up with recently transplanted cousins from Munich - it’s nice to have family so close!

That night, Evelyn & Scott managed to convince me to not work on Sunday like I had planned and to instead spend the day hiking in shockingly sunny Point Reyes and watching them enjoy oysters by Tamales Bay. It ended up being a fabulous and much needed break - I’ve termed these breaks a “sharpening of the sword”. A moment to hone what’s dull. The view out to Pacific was clear and blue and warm and calm and spectacular. A real treat, and I couldn’t think of a better way to have spent a Sunday! I was so happy, I even hugged a tree. Almost got run over by a cyclist, but neither the tree nor I were worse for wear.
So far so good this weekend. After work on Friday, Kyle and I went for a walk with Bailey and perched on our sunny porch enjoying a glass of wine, my feebled guitar strumming - and Bailey’s ever so sweet howling voice as the sun set. A sunny deck and a NY Times crossword puzzle, and I’d say life’s kinda pleasant right now.
