Day 19

Yesterday, I was dressed very warmly (as noted). As I got dressed, my sweetie commented that he thought I had over-warmed myself - weren't tights superfluous under my jeans, since I would be in the office all day?

I responded that the office is often quite chilly, and as such, I felt pretty ok about my choices.

As it turned out, I left work at noon - with the blessing of those who needed to be aware - to spend the day with him. He had some errands to run, and they were errands I was pretty excited to run with him, as they hinged on some decisions we've been giving serious thought to.

As we went about the business of these errands, he ended up on a call with a friend, which led to us going to the home of an acquaintance, which, in turn, led to us spending the remainder of the day on motorcycles wending down forested roads.

Tucked on the back of a motorcycle, with the wind in my face and the temperatures dropping, I was chilly - but because I had dressed so warmly, I was never uncomfortable. And because I wore tights under my jeans, I enjoyed myself thoroughly.

Spending an unexpected day doing unexpected things can happen when you remain open to the experiences life will present you.

The best bits are that we will be going again soon. And that my sweetie will have his very own bike before too long.
