Today is an absolutely gorgeous, perfect day. Like, really nice. High sixties in the shade, clear & sunny, and just the right amount of breeze. I feel like I’ve taken advantage of it, too. I finished my roasting shift in the early afternoon, walked for fresh fruit and frozen yogurt with barista Sierra, read on my newly adopted deck, biked around town, and now I’m back in the Verve breezeway enjoying a late lunch of al pastor tacos from the new location of Moreno and talking to Baca and Sean about competition. Everything’s great, except…

My beautiful girlfriend isn’t here with me! Jade has been in the UK for a week now, & still won’t be back until next Wednesday. Considering that we’d spent the last six months together essentially all of the time, the past seven days have been a change. [Looking at this list, even a rather dense stranger might have figured out that I have a bit of time on my hands.]

So while there is absolutely nothing to complain about on days like today, I’m still ready for Jade to get back to share more of these moments with me!
