A Beautiful Monday

You won't believe how hot it is in the city today. It was reported at 80 degrees but felt more like 90. I'm not one to complain about warm weather after an especially rough winter, but jeez, I wasn't ready to turn on my AC today!
This was also the first Monday that I've had off in a long time. I've gone from working six days a week to five (I should probably mention that from June-Oct I was working four days a week). I'm also finally able to sleep in my home every night now, after spending a year in other places. My apartment feels cozy and now it will hopefully feel like home since I can stop all this back and forth. This probably doesn't seem very exciting to anyone else, but I'm looking forward to buying groceries whenever I want and fresh flowers on whatever day I please. I dropped one of my office days giving me the day off on Mondays, at least for the foreseeable future.
Since it was the day after Easter, I was happy to come back home from a weekend with my family to relax in my city apartment all by myself. (Pictures of Easter are coming soon, I left my camera there!) I ventured out this afternoon to run a few errands and get some exercise. I ended up walking about fifteen blocks further than I had planned to buy a dress for little sis's birthday in May. Needless to say I was a dehydrated mess when I returned. Either way, it was a beautiful walk, the city was busy and filled with excitement about the warm weather. Here are some shots from my stroll through town:
