Today is the birthday of Sesame Street (it first aired ~12 hours before I did) and Irish coffee in the US. I generally choose to commemorate the second of those two things today. The usual bar I have been going to is closed, so I will try a different one. It doesn't open until 3 but at least I can have my hot boozy drink on their cold patio. I have a bunch of other minor errands and rambles I plan to do today as well - the bookmobile I am trying as a local library branch is only open on Tues and Thurs afternoons. Fortunately, it's not too far from said different bar.

I took Monday through Wednesday off work. Yesterday we went to a local open space preserve and hiked around the redwoods and firs. It was very nice; for most of it there were no other human noises anywhere around.

We're not going out to dinner tonight. Fine dining isn't happening yet and that sort of takeout is kind of sad. Instead I am going to pick up a pizza, which we haven't done in a long time (mostly for caloric reasons).
