Wonderful Sunday

[pegkerr]

Yesterday I was treated to a flying visit from kijjohnson, who had come into town for just one day. I picked her up at the airport and drove her back to my house where I had the fun of watching her open my birthday gifts to her (since her birthday's next week), instead of shipping them off to her and then hearing about her reaction a week afterwards as I usually do. We took the makings of a miniature cream tea to Anodyne (cucumber sandwiches, clotted cream, a miniature serving of Death by Chocolate), bought tea and gingerbread, ate our loot, and talked for about an hour. We are both feeling that we are rather at a cross roads--me because Rob now has a job which (once the budget settles down) leaves me free to look around for myself, and Kij because she is re-examining her decision to go to graduate school. Both of us have been thinking about hiring a life coach.

From there, we joined some other friends for a celebration. It seems totally inadequate to say that a lovely time was had by all. That was one of the best dinners of my life.

It was also really cool, among other things, to be able to sample a forty-five year old port.

I dropped Kij off at a hotel afterwards, and she is winging back to Seattle probably right now. It was wonderful to see her again.
