Today was relaxing and pleasant. After listening to NPR this morning, D. and I went to pick up my apartment key. We then walked around my new neighborhood. There are so many cool little shops, all nestled in small corner clusters among lovely residential neighborhoods with lots of trees, that I feel quite lucky to have found the place I did. There are lots of pets in the area, notably many front-porch cats who just adore being petted. Indeed, there is one fat black and white beast in my own courtyard that has lumbered to its feet for pats each time I've encountered it.

Later, after lunch, we went bookstore cruising -- of course we bought some books -- and are now resting. How nice to have an unscheduled day!
