I woke up this morning in a very good mood. I just have this positive feeling radiating throughout me today, and in the shower couldn’t stop singing “Semi-Charmed Kinda Life,” which, in all honesty, is not even a song that I like! Ok, I actually started out singing “How to Be a Millionaire” but somehow the other song popped into my head.
I commented to Justin that I wished we had something more interesting to eat for breakfast (aside from our staples of Pop-Tarts and peanut butter toast) and he suggested we grab food from the Asian bakery across the boulevard. I was game. Mmmm, a steamed red bean bun…
Walking onto the street felt like walking into an oven. Seriously, it’s crazy hot for 10 AM! It’s 94 degrees already. Justin took his pastries and biked off in the direction of JetBlue’s headquarters for work, and I began the short stroll home. Because of the heat, I’m wearing a sleeveless shirt, shorts and flip-flops.
As I walked past the bank on the corner, I caught my reflection in its large windows and couldn’t suppress my smile. For some reason today I just feel so well-suited to live in this city. That’s a good thing, considering last night Justin brought up renewing our lease in October. New York, New York – I guess we’ll have to dance this dance for a little while longer.
