Donuts After Dark: 3/6 De Facto Roommate Night

S. and I are now both off on Wednesdays! I really love having a weekday off because I can do things that require normal business hours, plus it breaks up my work week.

We both woke up pretty early and did some computer work/reading before heading to yoga at the Blissful Monkey for their $10 lunchtime yoga. Now it has been about 9 months since I last did yoga and I was fairly nervous to fall from downward dog or something, but it ended up being just fine!

Next I dragged S. with me to the library and then Polka Dog Bakery for a cat treat. I love that I can complete all my errands by walking here in JP!

After eating lunch we headed out by bike to Trader Joe's. Unfortunately it decided to start raining midway but luckily it was more of a refreshing sprinkle rather than a drenching downpour. We parked, picked up our ceramic creations and then commenced grocery shopping!

The 'quiche pan' that I painted at the Clayroom!

If you have ever been shopping with S. and I you know it is a fairly long process, and when the wealth of Trader Joe's is in front of us it is even longer. Plus you have to figure in we are carrying everything by bicycle. Thus we made a couple rounds in the store, picking things up and dropping them off, contemplating organic or not and in general figuring what we need to live off of for the next week. Eventually we checked out and departed!

Unfortunately S. had gotten a flat tire somewhere on our journey and with no tools on us we decided to walk our bikes to Landry's and get it fixed. Everyone there was really nice and we were soon on our way, with a new ladybug bell for S.'s bike Francine!

I also downloaded the app Runtastic Roadbike in an effort to track my cycling journeys! I actually haven't biked since Wednesday due to the snow, but I was pretty impressed by how well it worked on our return journey!

Despite our plans for a lazy night due to such a productive day, Z. managed to convince us to join him for dinner. We ate at the Miami Restaurant in Hyde Square. S. and I weren't really hungry so she got fried plantains and I had rice and beans. Z. got goat stew which came with fried green plantains, rice and beans. So much food! The rice and beans was really good and I'm sad we forgot the leftovers!
