On being employed

Today, I have had a leisurely breakfast at Lula Cafe in my neighborhood with a friend, walked along the boulevard looking at an outdoor-art project, started a new book from the library, and inevitably took a nap on the couch with Olivia. The weather is picture perfect, a glorious 79 on the day before fall. It could be a repeat of many weekend days I've spent this summer, but somehow it is so much sweeter and more relaxing doing it when I'm employed.
