OK. *breathes*
So, I survived the end of August.
(Just Barely!)
(seriously)
Sleeping well, warm and quite comfortably helped,
just not long enough (fell asleep late, woke too early)
so much so I was tempted to call in and ride in on the 9a bus.
I need the money more than sleep so like a trooper I got up as the second snooze went off. I was glad I did as the sunrise ride to work was just as spectacular as yesterday's and that gave me hope. That and the fact the weatherman promised a gorgeous day of sun and 74 degree temps.
(although on the bank clocks the highest I noticed was 70 - guess that will have to do)
I snuck off at lunch and walked along Michigan Street to check out a storefront a friend had told me about just below the Electric Fetus, where a surfer mate of his is working on opening a restaurant. The name on the door was GoodPeople, and as I peeked inside, it looked promising, but still has a way to go before it opens.

Next door was a vacant storefront of similar size and design - I mentioned to him this would make a perfect gallery. The idea of two mates next door to each other drawing new clientele to that area is so cool. What I liked most was after showing him the photos of the space, he seemed to really like the idea and the cogs were a-turning...you could just see it! I hope there is something there for him as after all that has gone on lately - something new and adventurous where it could be beneficial to him as well - it would be awesome. He gets this gleam in his eyes that is priceless! I just love seeing people so excited or infused with ideas and hope.I was one of those people today.
Yesterday, I was a bit blue, then today new hope came in the idea of going back to school.
Well technically, this didn't just start today - but last Friday.
Today there were just some new events that helped shape my future as well as clinch this idea,
and help to sort further my decision.
Today I was downright cocky and full of myself at work.
I did feel better.
After checking out the storefront, I walked up the nearby steps that lead to the Lake Walk Park.
Once there, I just went over to the bit that juts out and overlooks the beach area.
There were many people out walking, biking and one even flying a kite - all enjoying this very first day of September's warmth and sunshine.
After work, a catch up ride, then a screamer ride home, then home to light the grill(which for some reason took some doing - but no worries, the pyro in me won!)
I grilled Chicken and Fresh Ocean Perch, as well as Patty Pan Squash, and Corn on the Cob.
I also warmed some red potatoes and beets, making for a very nice meal.
And to compliment, a Sierra Nevada Anniversary Ale.
Now am just sat here with the leftover coals havin a fire. Ahhhhhhh.
C'mon ova!
