three good things

ljgeoffWhen Mike got home, I took off in the car with a plan -- fried shrimp, yoga and a garden.
I had a birthday last week (#52) and because it was a busy week and we were broke, we didn't do anything. I didn't even make a cake. In fact, I got a call from work at 5:30 am saying "There was a schedule change, and you're supposed to be here."
I'd been thinking about jumbo shrimp all week. You know how you get a yen and can't get it out of your mind? There's this no-name place on MLK Drive -- honestly, I don't know what it's called, but they have a huge sign on top of the building "FRESH FISH" so that might be it. (Yep!) It's run by a family that fries up some damn good sea food and chicken. And the jumbo shrimp are fantastic.
I'd brough our dog Chi with me. She got the tails.
After the shrimp, I found the community garden that's near the new place we're moving into. It's six blocks west and one block north. There's plenty of space that's not been taken and I'm really looking forward to claiming and working my spot.
There was some herbs in one corner, still alive and well. It looked a bit like rosemary, but I don't think rosemary would have survived the many frosts we've had. I crushed some in my hand and it smelled lovely.
One block east and five blocks north or our new place, there's a little yoga studio called Just B Yoga. It's donation based, with a suggested donation of $8/session. From their brochure that I got off the door:
"Yoga is an ancient life practice that means to create a union. The poses are just one branch of yoga. The others focus on ways of living and breathing that create a wholesome life. Yoga is about finding freedom of being -- inside and out.
If you can affod yoga, great! Com. Pay. And bring someone who can't.
If you can move, great! Come. Practice. And bring someone who needs to."
If you are happy, awesome! Come. Laugh with us. And bring someone who could use a smile."
One block east and seven blocks south is my work, and two blocks past that is the little boys' daycare. Hopefully, we'll be able to move in six or eight weeks -- we're saving up to patch the roof and repair the ceilings.
