I got to work at nine today (a gloriously sunny, if a bit windy, day) and walked to and from a pair of early appointments. There were so many small animals around, it was nuts. Squirrels, robins, chickadees and ducks were everywhere I looked, and a wild rabbit hung around my car for a bit! After seeing an amazing miniature train set-up in one of the basements it was off to find the local SpeeDee to get an oil change and new wiper blades. I found a coupon online this morning and got five dollars off, so the entire thing came to $56 and change. Sweet!
I read a big chunk of Poe's "The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket" off and on all day (including during my oil change). I ate lunch at McDonald's (bad boy! But damn, the McNuggets and fries both just came out of the fryer - drooool). On the way back I got some homemade fudge at Phantom Farms in Cumberland. Their coffee kicks butt too, and I had a fresh cream horn (not the greatest, but good) with it. The staff was super-friendly, and the fudge turned out to be really decent. My afternoon appointments (which ran from 1 pm to 5:30) all went smoothly, and I got to read a lot. I ran across another very cool basement, which was transformed in Jack Daniels Central - real casks, a great uniquely-shaped hardwood bar, and everything under the sun with the JD logo. I got to see some really amazing and creative homes today, and it was so nice out I had a stupid grin plastered on my face a lot of the time as I walked around the compound.
After a fantastic stress-free drive home (there's nothing like missing rush hour) I stopped at Hannaford to foodshop. Happiness is a relatively-full refrigerator! And when I got home, my new Levi's 501 buttonflies were waiting on my front step. A great ending to an awesome work day.
