finally got around to picking up nick cave's new album and it's a beautiful heartbreaker. halfway through making myself a cup of tea i swapped it for a toddy. I make a good toddy. Bourbon, lemon, honey, hot water. Heavy on all the things.

i've said this before, but what an incredible thing it is to finish work and have a whole evening to myself. Tonight I walked and walked and walked.. for at least two hours. I went through a neighbourhood I'd never been before. There are daffodils! And magnolias. Buds on all the trees, suddenly it's for real spring. It feels.. unearned. But I'll take it.

How much I can do in an evening! I looked at a couch. I bought a little mosaic table off craigslist. Chatted with the guy and his wife, got some neighbourhood recommendations. I listened to CBC for a couple of hours. Anna Maria Tremonti remains a national treasure. I made a stirfry for dinner and packed a lunch for tomorrow. And I still had time. I can't stop marveling over this miracle.
