Summer Day

What a nice day I've had. I woke up early and read for awhile before breakfast, which was eggs and which I've been looking forward to all week. I don't know what it is with me and eggs lately; I just can't seem to get enough. Then I went downtown to the farmers' market where I bought (such luxury!) sugar snap peas, a tomato (the first tomato I've had in weeks and weeks), and a carton of strawberries. I went home, called my sister Floss for a recipe and then mixed up some banana bread, and while it was baking I went down to the river and had a little swim. The water was blissfully cool and pleasant. Back home, I showered and took a nap (after taking my bread out of the oven, of course). I had the nicest dinner I've had in ages- a black bean burger on fresh bread, mashed potatoes, snap peas, tomato, and lemonade. After dinner, I went to a party at Sara's boyfriend's house, where I talked to a young man in town for an activist conference. Very interesting. Now I'm home, eating cool, sweet strawberries. I am feeling good.

Friday was Laura Cantrell, who always puts on a good show, and last night was no exception. She played almost all new stuff, which was quite nice. I'd really like to hear her new album. Tomorrow I'm going to see the New Pornographers, which is exciting.

These are the sorts of things I'm looking forward to remembering some day.
