Mellow Monday

Mood: at ease, grateful, and truely blessed

Today was a glorious day in San Diego, albeit hotter than an oven that produces peach pie for a Sunday evening spread. As the new job has been set in stone to begin Wednesday, I am able to exhale a bit and enjoy a few days of sedentary respite. The day began with a lovely family brunch with the kids and parental units, sharing coffee, chorizo and eggs and a few games of Go-Fish at our local mom and pop diner.

This was followed by some housekeeping, laundry and a nice bike ride around the San Diego Bay. The flip side to this was returning home overheated with a swarthy complexion and finding the ants had once again attacked. After going mid-evil on my kitchen with the Raid and baby powder (it works fab and will not hurt pets should they find their way to getting to it.) I decided the heat was too much to bear so therefore I must indulge in cool shower and afternoon nap.

The evening was spent with the daughter enjoying an Iced Tea, thanks to a Starbucks gift card, a quick trip into the dollar store (who ever really spends only a dollar... I mean seriously?) Followed by a shared Orchard Chicken sandwich from Subway. (BTW.. highly delish but fattening on the creamy base, I highly suggest loading it with spinach and tomato to avoid the guilty conscience). After catching up on some DVR'd "Intervention" episodes and imbibing a glass of Muscatto, it is time for beauty sleep, peacefully in my freshly laundered bedding. Ahhh the uncomplicated delights in life should never be overlooked or undervalued. :)
