Another Nice Day

Event went well again, though the number of people attending were a lot fewer than expected. Today’s audience was middle-management. Perhaps they all had too much work to do? Anyway, client seemed happy, which is all I care about.

After work, drove back to the hotel, picked up Boyfriend, and we went to Newport Beach. It was high tide, and we waded for a little while in the water, looking languidly out to sea. It was partly cloudy today and the water was a bit cold, otherwise we would have swum.

Boyfriend and I were both feeling a little tired. Ever since we got to California it has been nonstop activity. There are just so many things to do! Walking on one nice beach after another; exploring little towns; shopping; sitting around in the myriad Starbucks (the density of Starbucks in this area is just unbelievable. There are seven Starbucks that we know of within a 1 mile radius, and most of them in exceedingly nice malls with lovely outdoor seating.); discovering nice little restaurants to eat. Amidst all this activity we really didn’t leave too much time to sleep. I have been averaging seven hours a night, Boyfriend much, much less.

We are now both a bit depressed about the prospect of returning to Connecticut, to the crowded streets, restricted-access beaches, no sidewalks, indifferent or sullen residents, and bad weather. Quick! Come up with something nice about Connecticut to look forward to!
