Long Weekend

This weekend was amazing. Especially considering what a rough time it's been and that I felt I had so much time to fill up to avoid thinking about things.

On Friday, I went out with my cousins to my absolute favourite resto and had plantain cakes, mushroom filo pastry, spinach blinis, unbelievably perfectly spiced corned pasta with broccoli and artichoke, and some amazing wine that I forgot the name of already. We sat there for about 3 hours just chatting and eating away. It was a great night.

Waking up to such beautiful weather on Saturday was reason enough to head to the St. Lawrence Market. I picked up some fresh kalmata hummus and flatbread for dipping. So many fresh vegetables and old books and awesome kitchy decor. I finished off with a fresh carrot, apple, beet juice before we headed to the patio for a cold beer as we sat in the sun.

That night, I got all dressed up and put on my tallest shoes and an outfit that made me feel wonderful. I went out for some drinks at a new nightclub I'd never been to. It wasn't so much a dancing night as it was a socializing night. I really had a great Saturday.

On Sunday I was really tired. I wanted to do things, but I literally couldn't. The thought of "wow I'm no spring chicken" popped into my head as I lay on the bed unable to get up or fall asleep. I finally got up in time to go for my family dinner which had so many vegan options. My plate was full, and so was my stomach. I came home and watched a movie on the couch after. Ahhhhh.

Today is my free Monday and so far I've done nothing except hang out with my dogs and think about what I'm going to do, over breakfast and espresso. It's so beautiful out, I dont want to waste the day cleaning like had planned to!

Hope you had a great long weekend to. I couldn't have asked for better!
