Monday
Today was a work day, no teachers, no students. Just me and the dust on on the tables and cords and computers.
Elli came to the BART stop to meet me for lunch. We ate at a place near the school and shared an iced mocha. Went back to work. Elli joined me and Facebooked while I finished up my job for the day.
On the way home from work we stoped at Phil’s Coffee for some reading and sitting time. The coffee was fabulous. Probably my second favorite in the city (behind Ruli’s).
Took the BART a bit further on the way home and went to the toy store on Market Street to look for Star Wars Legos. No luck. Nothing on the shelf except on Bionicle stuff. It’s a sad existence for San Francisco that they don’t even have a Target store. There isn’t a Microcenter, either. Remind why I moved here?
After leaving the toy store, we walked waaaaayyy down Market to visit Flex, a super great art store. It doesn’t have the crafty stuff that Michael’s does (which is why I was going), but for paints and paper and notebooks, it’s the best I’ve seen in the city. Outshines the Utrecht and Dick Blick art stores by a long shot.
Walked home for dinner (chicken salad on a bed of mixed greens), and watching the newest Flashpoint episode, followed by Tetris battles, reading and sleep.
