After two and a half months, I find that Santa Monica is just fine. Some parts are really quite lovely and at times its only problem is that its not Boston. The difficulties of moving are still somehow lingering (I spent a fruitless hour today on hold with Verizon trying to settle a misbilling issue from getting our phone service set up). And there are definite advantages: running the mostly empty streets in the mornings with Miriam bouncing in her stroller and humming happily along, our local duck pond and playground, hearing half a dozen different languages in the park, the ocean, the ocean, the ocean, some of the tastiest, most fruit-like tomatoes I've ever had in the farmers market this week, mountains in the distance, palm trees overhead, walking to the donut shop, warm days and cool nights, week after week. We've just come out of two and a half weeks of broken schedule, with travel and visitors and off hour work, and the last day or two has been lovely to get back into a daily routine, particularly for Miriam.
Yesterday's run destination: CVS, then Albertsons
Yesterday's menu:
breakfast: Cinnamon Toast Crunch
lunch: goddess sandwich from Bay Cities Italian Deli
dinner: pizza and a movie! The Social Network was pretty good
