Summer breeze makes me feel fine

Today is a good day, and it is not over yet. Despite having no friends in sight, I did manage to spend the afternoon in the lap of luxury, for $10 in parking fees, on the Nantucket Sound in Cape Cod, chatting with all my friends on the phone and getting the rest of my work done for tomorrow's training. It was pretty great, as illustrated by the diagram I sent S, of me hanging out on the sound and at the nearby pond for the day. The sharks did not get me, by the way!

Once I got back to my home base, I was able to stop in at a local gas station for some razors (hairy legs = having to wear the same pair of dress pants several times a week!) and an egg salad sandwich for dinner. Before getting back to the apartment though, I stopped off at the reservation area 5 minutes away, and it is beautiful! I can't wait to have my more nature-y loved ones visit the place. The Houghton Pond "hike" is really just walking around this gorgeous body of water in the woods, which will be incredible for sure by the time the leaves are changing.

Last thing for the night is a bath, since I cannot in good conscience actually remember the last time I bathed, and I don't think 2 trips to the pool and 1 trip to the ocean are enough to cleanse the grossness of me from me for a whole week!

So good day, yeah. This week might be a little hectic, but the light at the end of the tunnel is that 1) M & K will be back from their honeymoon with stories to tell, and 2) I get Friday off to go tour Boston with my wonderful friend H, who is making her way down from NH. We're both taking the T in and meeting there, and I will not lie, I am pretty scared to try it and maybe get lost.

Here's to another exciting, challenging week followed by a fantastic 3-day weekend!!
