Everlasting love…

For some reason I have that song in my head, “This will be an everlasting love…” Could it have something to do with the sun rising and shining on the city at 7:30 in the morning?  Could it have something do to with the lack of rain for a few days straight?  Or, could it have something to do with the yummy egg, ham and tomato crumpet I’m nibbling on?  Hmmm…any one of the above plus a hundred other things have all added up to a happy me.

The Crumpet Shop has become one of my favorite places to visit on Friday’s.  There is something wonderful about walking down first ave in the early morning, the light just beginning to shine on the city and seeing the lights on at the shop.  It’s owned by a family, at least it’s a family that runs the place, and they are super friendly and happy in the mornings.  I’ve always been greeted with a smile and the wonderful smell of freshly brewed tea and crumpets when I open the door.  I walk in, breath deeply, place my order and watch as the magic happens.  I leave with a fresh breakfast, fresh coffee or tea and a feeling that everything is right with the world.  The shop is like a little oasis of sanity and family.  A wonderful way to start a Friday. 

I was walking to my office from the Crumpet Shop, my nose too stuffed up to smell the city after a few days with out rain, and stood on a street corner in awe.  The new buildings going up look majestic in the rising sun.  The light playing off the glass and concrete, the sky blue and yellow behind the towers, the planes crossing the sky, humanity is amazing in all of our creations.  It’s pretty cool so see the city rising around you.

Of course not so happy is the fact that I was sick for most of the week and now Freeman is sick.  That’s very sad.  I can almost breathe out of my nose again and I haven’t sneezed since yesterday, all very good signs.  But Freeman went home sick yesterday morning and stayed home today.  Sad.

This weekend will be all about wedding and homework.  Though perhaps not in that order.  I’m heading down to my mom’s tomorrow to get some planning started.  Well, the planning that hasn’t already begun in my head.  Because I’ve been doing a lot of planning in my head.  But reality will hit tomorrow and then, then we shall see!  And I have got to get my homework done.  I’ve got an assignment due, one that I have been avoiding, one that I have been using any excuse not to complete!  I HATE when that happens.  But I have to get it done.  It’s not part of the story, it isn’t a scene or something to move the plot along, it’s the synopsis.  It’s basically a 3 to 5 page document detailing the story line at a high level.  Aurgh.  I so don’t want to do this!  But I’ve put it off for as long as I can and if I want to get credit for it, I have to complete it.  Gr.

I guess it’s back to work with me!
