Bicycle, bicycle...

Rode the ol' bicycle to the gym tonight after work. I was happy to see a number of other bicycles on the road & chained-up outside at the gym. The ride was lovely; we had Heavenly, low temperatures in Chicago today, enough that I have had the A/C off for days & the windows open, breeze sending fresh air through my top-floor apartment.

The gym was surprisingly busy; which was nice. I enjoyed my workout in quiet Liz-time, danced around people a few times from the weight rack & back again, then rode my pretty little bicycle home.

I finally enjoyed the first fruits of my indoor urban garden tonight: I plucked a few fresh basil leaves from my growing basil plants to top my Big Salad. I sliced vegetables & recited a few Elaine lines from the Big Salad Seinfeld episode. "Can't you just put it in a big bowl?"

I particularly enjoyed the sunshine coming into my living room this evening. I am sure my little ficus tree feels the same way.

Now, work-out sore, tummy-full, & sipping green tea, I am tired & satisfied at a day well done. I enjoyed a short phone call from my Joe earlier; the poor man worked until the early morning, barely rested, & went back to work this afternoon... but he still took the time to call me. A. Sweet. Heart.
