weekend.

• 1 BBC production of a favorite piece of classical literature (in this instance, the new jane eyre).
• karma sufficient to find parking AND fritters
• a plate of chilaquiles topped with fried egg and black beans and accompanied by watermelon agua fresca
• a quiet afternoon of reading in comfort
• delicious handmade flour tortillas served warm
  
• homemade morning chocolat chaud with toasted challah for dipping
• avocados, orchids, and sunshine in a beautiful yard
• a visit to an abundantly stocked independent bookstore
• exploring a significant portion of the l.a. basin
• cajun--gumbo, hushpuppies, blackened catfish; superyum
  
• coconut macadamia nut fudge ice cream cone
• a walk down a pier at sunset over a glimmering twilight ocean
  
• all accompanied by laughter and conversation in good company

it was perfect. after a weekend like that, monday is more than manageable and i feel like i can do most anything.
