Best Day Ever.

in an attempt to piece the shambles of my life together after busy season, i took today off. i enjoyed every second.

maybe this won't seem like the best day ever to most people, but for those of you who have ever been trapped in a windowless cube without seeing the light of day for three months, this is pretty much what i imagine heaven to be like.

8am:

wake up captive in bed with two kitties and a husband holding me hostage under their sleepy groggy morning weight. coziest morning ever. not a cloud in the sky. birds chirping. 

hah, straight out of a cheezy lifetime movie where things look a little tooooo happy. 

8:10am:

make husband breakfast. two eggs & potato pancakes. 

drink tea + green juice. get excited to not catch the bus. 

and to think, just a week ago i wanted to punch every person i saw in the face. amazing the difference a few days and a deadline makes.

9am:

dentist for my 6 month cleaning. chatted with my adorbs hygienist who is 22 weeks preggo. 

stared out the window. 

wore the ugliest sunglasses ever and loved every second of it. 

no cavities. yessss.

11am:

bank stop. chatted with another human {bank teller} and got 4 rolls of quarters so i can make my way through the 15 loads of laundry that wait for me at home.

11:15am:

visit my oakland nail shop. 

stare & drool in massage chair while my poor toes are brought back to life with opi lincoln park after dark. can't forget an eyebrow wax. 

omg i think i'm starting to feel human again.

12:30pm:

arrive at target. i can't even remember what i bought, but $258 later, i feel sort of like i accomplished something. i got some summer shirts for jack to wear under his scrubs, mascara, some cards, a jean jacket, shampoo, & some other random bath items. i was in serious need of a retail therapy sesh. 

mission accomplished.

1:40pm:

receive a phone call from the hubster that his afternoon classes are cancelled. he met me for lunch at panera. i had a tuna sammy. it was the most delish sammy ever. 

it represented freedom on a random wednesday afternoon. with people. and my person.

2:30pm:

drop off some old running shoes at the alameda goodwill.

2:40pm:

make a stop at rosenblum cellars to pick up our spring club shipment. our neighbor jackie was pouring, so naturally i had to stop to chat. i tasted two zinfandels and a syrah with her.

3:00pm:
take our car to the outdoor carwash on shoreline drive.
wait in the glorious sunshine for a half hour.
stare at the sky while the filth of busy season is vacuumed out of the floor mats and the tires are shined.

3:45pm:

arrive home to kitties and my hubby. watched two episodes of real housewives of oc. mostly i just like to stare at eyelashes, clothes, and hair while while i exist aimlessly on the couch. 

i couldn't bear to do laundry, so i just didn't.

5:45pm:

ninety minute massage in alameda. it hurt, but it was necessary. my shoulders were in my ears and my back literally crunched from all the knots. 

apparently i have knots in my neck the "size of marbles." awesome. 

must get back to yoga & pilates, stat.

7:45pm:

made a goat cheese pizza from trader joe's {because i couldn't bear to cook} and enjoyed my night at home with jack and the kitties on the couch. we watched django. it was fabulous.

11pm:

bedtime for all four of us.
