It's the last Friday night of winter break and I had such a great day today. It started with a brisk walk with Jean; we have been so fortunate to have had clear streets so far this winter. Icy sidewalks/streets stress me out. I can deal with the bitter cold by dressing in lots of layers, but slippery? It freaks me out. So far we have been spared this year. At the end of our walk, we got Starbucks (courtesy of a gift card from a coworker). I got home, showered up and headed out for a much needed haircut and highlights. My time at Charles Ifergan Salon did not disappoint. For lunch, Jack and I went to Whole Foods and put together incredible salads for ourselves at the salad bar. Continuing with my day of beauty, I got a manicure and pedicure, then came home and finally finished up the thank you notes for all the sweet and generous gifts from my students. That's a big project. I watched several episodes of the TV show Parenthood on Netflicks while I wrote the notes. Before I knew it, it was time to get ready to go out to dinner. We met Mark and Cath at a Mexican restaurant in a neighboring town. It was such a great night! So much fun, super relaxing and lots of laughs. We had not seen Mark and Cath since September and I was starting to go through withdrawal. Tonight was the perfect fix.
All in all, a wonderful day for which I thank God. These are the kind of days that I will remember with great fondness.
