Sunbeams

Every morning for the past week I've opted to ride my bike to work. The ride has been exceptionally short as I'm staying at a house very close to my work. The short ride has been lovely because it's been slowly easing me into the routine of riding. Biking to work has meant not having to deal with traffic or other frustrations that accompany driving. It's meant feeling the wind in my hair and the sunshine on my face and waking up in a more natural, healthy way. I like it. I think bike commuting is going to be my primary mode of transportation even though it's a much more significant (uphill) ride to work from my home. Still, I'm committed to doing it and I'm willing to wake up a bit earlier to facilitate doing so.

Living at Kim and Royce's and taking care of their beloved dog has been great. As Eli wrote here, it's felt a lot like we are playing house. It's a bit strange to live in someone else's space but we settled in and have felt remarkably comfortable. There is so much that I love about Eli and this period of living together has only served to solidify those feelings. Awww, I'm so happy these days. On Thursday, we go back to our regular lives and regular homes. I hope my cat still likes me.

Tonight I am going to the Franz Ferdinand/Death Cab for Cutie show at the Shaw Conference Centre. I am very excited! Tickets sold out right away and I was disappointed that I wasn't going to be able to go but a few days ago I learned that I would, in fact, be going! Yay! Yay! Yay!
