happy friday

My weeks are pretty stacked class-wise Monday through Wednesday, and Thursdays aren't so hot either (but they will be better once my half-semester class is over). Tuesdays are the worst as I have class from 9:30 - 6 (with a few breaks - but none long enough to do anything). Of course, almost every Tuesday since classes started in January has been the best weather of the week. This past Tuesday was no exception and I found myself cursing my schedule when I stopped at the coffee shop midday and saw a couple roadies in full regalia sititng around drinking coffee. Just not fair.

Fridays, however, I have no classes. And the weather today is glorious.

I got up at 7-ish, made coffee, hung out, did some cleaning and then went to the pool. 2,000 yards and a shower later and I was off to run errands. Come 2:00 I had pretty much everything I needed to get done done and its sunny and warm out (but VERY windy) so I decided to take the dog downtown and get coffee. We wandered along Looneyville's fantasticly hip (for the midwest) main drag. We had coffee. We chatted with people, she sniffed every spot on the sidewalk, we walked. We stopped in the bike shop (which we always do - mainly because they allow dogs and god knows I love showing her off!) and then I popped my head into the other gear store and asked if she could come in. I didn't think they allowed dogs in, but it turns out they do, so we hung out there for a while. I have a friend that's a manager there and we sat in the back office and talked for a good half hour. Walking back towards the car I ran into another one of the coffee shop regulars (and a fellow law student).

I love these kind of days. The weather, the people, the hanging out with my dog. It couldn't have been much better.

But now, I must study.
