A day in the life....
Happy New Year everyone! (More on that later)
I am off work today and actually sitting in a coffee shop blogging...something I rarely do...
I am fortunate enough to be downtown today and hanging out with my love. We went to mass together in the Cathedral (which was decorated still from Christmas and utterly breath-takingly beautiful, and afterwards, we got to have lunch together. I then went shopping and now I am sitting here enjoying a strong cup of coffee and writing about sitting here having a strong cup of coffee (like an infinity mirror only different *smirks*)....sitting here amongst the bike messengers and people who seem to have time on their hands as it is late afternoon and all the corporate-whore types are actually at work (at least I am guessing...).
I found a couple of neat things shopping - a pair of warm boots (that look like Uggs for really cheap), a burgundy coloured scarf/wrap to put on my head and shoulders for a great price and the store where I made the purchase, all of their proceeds go toward philanthropic causes (I could not find a floppy hat-like thingy to keep my head warm but I plan to still find one somewhere...), and, I also bought a very sexy bra and panty set for really cheap (because I am cleaning out my old stuff and replacing things) - I love to shop and it's been a while sinc I shopped downtown here in Cleveburg so it was kind of nice...
There is a different feel to downtown right now - I worked here for over 1/2 a year recently and it always felt rushed, cold, indifferent - but, perhaps because I am more relaxed and it is the day after a holiday there's a different feel. I dream of having the kind of life where I can live leisurely and go to coffee shops and hang out and have philosophical discussions, drink coffee and write about life....not sure if that is ever going to happen - I file it away with the dream about living in a seedy little apartment in Paris where I give in to all of my vices and write a novel extolling the virtues of being an ex-pat in Paris....not sure if it qualifies as a dream or a fantasy at this point...
Anyway it's nice to be here like this writing (even if it is mundane dribble about my life), enjoying the atmosphere and drinking coffee and contemplating getting a chocolate croissant.
I hope the year brings many moments to you that you enjoy and remember to relish and savour.
