Wow! It’s been over a week! Today will be a grand day, and the beginning of a fine weekend (even though it’s already Saturday evening). Molly’s coming into town in a few hours, and I couldn’t be happier. I don’t know what we’re going to do with our time, but it will still be great to see her. I know we’re at least going to make the pilgrimage to IKEA, because that place is just freaking terrifying, and she must experience it for herself.

I’ve really started to settle in here a bit. Finally. I had a few rough spots (personal, not performance) at work last week, but getting past them makes me feel even better. We made our first trip into Berkeley Bowl last night, and (as Ti-Fred had suggested) it wasn’t as overwhelming people-wise in the last hour before they closed. Now, produce-wise… amazingly overwhelming. Like the IKEA thing, but with inexpensive, wonderful, and abundant produce. We got a few things, including some fabulous heirloom tomatoes – yellow and purple and red. They’ll be nummy with some basil and fresh mozzarella… or maybe just as a side w/ scrambled eggs… or maybe we’ll grill’em and make sandwiches. Yum!

Okay, I’m hungry. But I don’t want to eat too much because Molly will be here in a few short hours, and I don’t want to be stuffed if she gets off that plane starving for some real food. Can’t let the girl down, just in case!
