Snapshots from a happy life

Oops! I was supposed to finish and post this blog post last night, but somehow forgot. I think it was because by the time I got home yesterday evening, I didn't so much as sit down for hours (it was a busy night, which I hadn't been expecting -- cleaning, cooking, laundry, errands).

Anyway, it's Friday and it's the hottest day of the year in San Francisco. This week has been so long and I'm really glad to have a weekend ahead of me to spend with my lovely man and rest and take photos and run and did I mention sleep? I think a movie may also be involved this weekend, something we haven't done in a long time. Oh weekend, I love you so.

Oh how I love those Berkeley mornings:

...and those San Francisco nights:
