Midway through

It's nice to have the sort of work day that can be interrupted with a lunch out together.  Steve and I walked over to a local bakery - half mile each way so I got my mile in as well - and chatted over coffee, soup and sandwiches.

This week will be pleasant, I can tell already.  I'm only working about ten hours and have the rest of the time to myself.  I love spaces of time like that - to draw, read, garden, get in some extra dog walking and even take a nap.

Our library is closed until late August - moving to another site in preparation for a year-long earthquake retrofitting project - so even Demi has more time with no Read-to-a-Dog program.  It feels weird to live in a town with no library, but it's temporary and there are other branches to commute to in a pinch.

No complaints here.  I have everything I need for today and am a happy camper!
